Hard to pick, but possibly Colombia. I may well be naturally activistic which would mean I'd get killed pretty quickly in the country with the world's highest rate of political murder.

It's hard to tell... After all, If I wasn't born where I was born, I would be quite different. I'm sure climate wouldn't be a problem (not any more than it is now anyway). Poverty, hunger and the like are a ***** of course, but to a certain extent I wouldn't know any different. I'd prefer to stay alive and well though... Considering I had severe pneumonia as a baby, I would almost certainly have been dead if I hadn't been born in a developed country. So... pretty much any un(der)developed country.

Then again, that was probably a much too boring and way too serious answer... So I'll answer Madagascar, just for the hell of it.

Your ass would be dead before the sun rose, if you were in Texas, Asher.
You have to be able to do more than Talk The Talk.
Interesting that you perceive Texas as it's own separate entity though.

As far Maniac, look at his dumbass. "USA", he says.

Ever been out to Alberta, Sloww? I think you're thinking of Quebec.

You forget we're gun-totting freaks here, just like Texas, except a city of 1M gets like 6 murders a year.

That's what you get when your population's educated.

I've got nothing against the U.S. The reason you guys are so "hated" is just jealousy. I mean, you have so many TV programs showing Americans getting full of themselves. So what?! There on TV! Let them get overexcited. When was the last time you saw a machoistic Kiwi, Aussie, Baugette Eater, German, Brit on TV?

I tell you what. You ever tried to come here, I will pick you up at the Airport and give you a tour. You can land at San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, or Sacramento, your choise. Leave your internal papers at home, you won't need them here. You will be able to stay in any hotel you want as long as you can pay. You will be able to buy anything at any store if they have it. After a week or so you may not want to leave. We do not have KGB here so you can walk around all you want.

it's like calling Germany Saxony or Bayern.
And again, I don't think that Lithuanians or Latvians
or Estonians or any other post-Soviet nation would like to be called "Russia".

edit: I screwed that above line up. but I leave it. the other country I forgot to put in there was the U.K. and possibley Germany.

You might want not to live in New Zealand if all you knew of the country came from Melody Rules and Shortland Street.

hmm... to quote Kurt Vonnegut...

"I didn't ask to be born."

to quote from Clerks...

"I'm not even supposed to be here today!"



the one country i would not mind being born in happens to be the paradise of Olympia, guided to superpowerful proportions by my good leadership, even with Anti-Tank Spearmen.
