Anonymous Coward User ID: 29300892 Australia 12/08/2012 09:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I say worst country i mean things like: Quoting: Dutch Retriever 1) really rude people, who lack manors 2) bad drivers that play chicken with pedestrians 3) Very aggressive SCAM artists 4) Lack of law and order 5) Lack of respect for public domains 6) Corrupt public servants like bad cops. When I say most favoured, think about friendly people, food, transportation, Nightlife etc etc. Mines: Worst is France at the top. Best was Indonesia. :dutchweed: I've been to France, and Indonesia. I loved France, had an awesome trip, Indonesia was a steamy shit hole. We were searched every time we went into our hotel, which was filled with wealthy, loud mouthed, Indonesian woman. France, we had the art galleries, the restaurants, the antiques. Beautiful. |

TheBiss User ID: 25023924 United States 12/08/2012 09:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Worst: #1 Haiti #2 France Best: #1 Netherlands #2 Dominican Republic Haiti... where to begin... What a shithole. Take a good look at what a government handout conditioned population looks like America. No one works. No one has incentive to work. Why work when you can just get a blank check from more civilized countries? Towns are filthy with open sewers. Trash everywhere. In Ouanaminthe, the city market is set DIRECTLY ON TOP of the dump. Hey, why make two trips when you can make one, right? You KNOW you're in a third world country when crossing the border and coming back into the Dominican Republic feels like you're coming back to civilization again. Fuck the French and everything about them and their awful culture. It was 25 years ago, and I'm still pissed about them. The DR almost made my top country. If I was to expatriate, it is on my short list along with Nicaragua and Belize. I chose the Netherlands as my top country because of the people. Nowhere in Europe have I met a more congenial group of citizens. Everywhere I went in Holland, I was made to feel welcome as a foreigner.

When I say most favoured, think about friendly people, food, transportation, Nightlife etc etc. Most nations are mostly good. I only really encountered problem number 2 (bad drivers). That was in Italy, where people are just horrible drivers, leaning on the horn all day. Italy also stands out for selling me crap pizza with NOTHING other than tomato sauce on it and an empty clam shell for decoration. I guess that's point 3. Not to mention Italian military police pointed automatic weapons at us tourists at the airport (point 6?). All things considered, Italy was a pretty crappy experience... Holland is actually my top choice for nice people! But there are nice people in other nations too, England and Tunisia comes to mind. The latter surprised me a little, a much friendlier place than I would have expected. |

Second Best User ID: 28115524 Canada 12/08/2012 09:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To be honest, the worst country I've ever visited was Toronto, Canada. The place is a cesspool of immigration and scum bag unicapable anglophones. I've never seen a place suck up all originality out of people, to turn them into the same look fucking hipsters. What a mess. Best country is hands down Jamaica. |

Portugal wasn't bad, for drinking anyway. Most of the US is shit, except for the one place I like... which I won't say, to keep it nice. Yeah, you are not gonna agree with me on a lot. Figured that out a long time ago. |

Just for Political Gains of a Federal Prosecutor done by a Federal Judge. (In Eastern Federal District Court, Brooklyn, NY) Both can be locked up for 50 years apiece for the illegality they did on 10-31-1989. (and later indictment/conviction).
