Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) The general point of this thread is for members to say the place they'd least like to live on Earth, past and present. It can be down to a number of factors, from minor niggles like scenery to major ones such as governments. I'll start. Past: Soviet Union, 1920-1953. Stalin was a complete an utter psycopath, obsessed with the blood of hos own people and crazed by his own absoloute power. No one was safe from this nutter, not even members of his own family. From devestating war with the Germans, to overnight disappearences by the secret police, Stalin's Russia had it all. Hell has never been so vivid. Present: Saudi Arabia. Do you like being oppressed as a woman? Do you like seeing your friends publicly beheaded for minor crimes? Do you like not being able to do anything, go anywhere, say anything, or being able to practise your religion freely? If so, Saudi Arabia sounds like the perfect place for you! Upon your arrival to this family friendly destination, you can see such sights as women being stoned for adultery, religious police terrifying the population and al-Queda trying to bomb the local populace persitently! Scorching hot 50*C temperatures included, to try and put the 'skin' in the 'skin cancer' part of your holiday! Edited October 10, 2009 by navarre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 11, 2009 I reckon central Antarctica would suck quite badly. Completely isolated, little food, crap weather, constant possibilty of alien attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2009 Are you crazy?! That'd be fucking sweet. Its basically your life in a Zorb! Yeah but you can't see outside, there is no exit and what happens if you fall in a ditch? No one is gonna help you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 11, 2009 Past or Present? Then I'm thinking anywhere on Earth about 4.5 billion years ago while the land was still molten, nothing lived and there was no atmosphere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2009 Kabul at any point in history really. After doing this thread, Afghanistan came to mind. But yeah, it's been a dystopia ever since its creation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2009 the worst place to live? any were with divina mcall. theres a woman whos head id like to smash in with an iron. funy story, i actualy tied once. Am I really the only one who loves her? Place I wouldn't like to live in? To be honest, I don't like living in Birmingham much. Sure some parts of Birmingham are nice to be in but most of it I don't like. Too many chavs where I live but to be honest, most of Birmingham is chav-infested, haha.

Posted October 11, 2009 Past or Present? Then I'm thinking anywhere on Earth about 4.5 billion years ago while the land was still molten, nothing lived and there was no atmosphere. Therefore you couldn't "live" there, making this answer obsolete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2009 With Buffalo Bill. In seriousness, random 3rd world country rife with poverty violence and a likely oppressive government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2009 Past or Present? Then I'm thinking anywhere on Earth about 4.5 billion years ago while the land was still molten, nothing lived and there was no atmosphere. How about in another 1.1 billion years when it becomes inhospitable again after the Sun starts to die and boils up our oceans. May make an improvement to Rhyl though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
