Bad place to live in in 2012

Grew up in SA, what an embarrassment. Sad thing is u can feel the potential in the air...but it's Africa and always will be. I'll never return if I can help it. Been in uk for 11 years and considering following my dream of moving to Hawaii or California...you only young once right! Been in London for 11 yrs but the weather sucks something special. Wish me luck!

More like South Africrime - highest violent crime rate in the world. Good citizens live in terror fearful of thugs and even more fearful of the cops who are supposed to protect them. Rampant corruption.

Very beautiful and diverse country with plenty of sun and you can get what you want

I felt , that this is the only country in the world, with such a diversity , people are living, in such harmoniously. Thousands of years heredity , culture, ethics and traditions. Each state having own languages and political systems, still united in one government. I can watch these people only with Wonder.....and more love..

your giving indians everywhere a bad rep, how about you take a good look at what your talking about.

Great Country

Breath taking beauties with awesome landscapes. Perfect country in the world. Second richest country in water resources, possess unique flag, lots of heritages listed in world heritage. Truly great county.

NEPAL: Never Ending Peace and Love.

One of the best countries of the world. I love NEPAL and NEPALI. Nepal is full of natural beauties.Small country with rich in resources.Friendly people, unity in diversity, birth place of Gautam Buddha, land of Mount Everest, cultures, brave gorkalis and many more.

Without doubt one of the most scenically beatiful countries on earth. The people are gentle, hospitable and so friendly. I urge you to visit this truly wonderful country,it will be an experience you will never forget and you will want to return to.

i agree

breath taking view..ktm valley is like an oasis is a between all the mountains..unique bio diversity and warm people.

terrorism is a big problem in pakistan.... but the swat valley and other areas in pak are like heaven on earth.... no joke... the country has great potential and the people are so kind and welcoming... i just love pakistan despite all the problems. check out the KPT Tower Complex in Karachi on YouTube... it's insane!!!!

Man why do you have to be like that.Were the hell did you go? You probably never even left the city. There's no Al-Queda anywhere. Get your facts straight.

I've been to Pakistan. Outlandish poverty, rabid muslim fundalmentalism, anti-western bias, and Al-Queda running about at will. Yeah, sounds like a great place to live.....:(

Land of mountains , breathtaking natural beauty and generous, warm and hospitable people.Let the country get out of this sticky patch and it's sure to take off as the next unspoilt tourist hotspot.

Nigria is a super country. so much money . too many millionaires. too many also in poverty. beautiful women. corrupt govt. kidnappers world.Home of self made castles with very bad road. low infrastructures. you can best the best and worst of that world at the same time. Better for indigines but Nigerians love foreigners.

VERY PEACEFUL COUNTRY!!! RELAXED LIFE! PEOPLE ARE A BIT CENTIMENTAL BUT THEY ARE VERY MUCH BRAVE, HEARTFUL AND HELPFUL. BAD SIDES ARE RICH AND POWERFUL PEOPLE HAVE LACK OF PERSONALITY AND SO THEY ARE VERY MUCH CORRUPTED, SHREWD AND ARE TOO MUCH GREEDY. EASIEST WAY TO MAKE HUGE DISHONEST MONEY.

may be its a country of corruption , natural disester,country of poverty....but its hard to believe ..but the truth is it is the country of happiness...it is the country who teach you how to be happy with your soul when you lost everything,you have nothing to do,how to love everyone....dont believe it??? welcome to Bangladesh

One Of the best place to live in....it has the longest seabeach in the world....haven for shopping...low cost living...ppl are friendly and peace loving...

The culture is amazing

Peru Rules

Thailand is a wonderful and friendly country. Though it's a bit unorganized but that's the charm. People are so nice and smiley. I like the non-touristy place like the north of Thailand. People are awesome!! Food is fantastic!!! Ultimately, you get what you pay for (maybe more than what you pay for).

Graceful dignified people. The dark side is the prostituion.

Thailand!!! home sweet home, friendly people,great and healthy food, beautiful culture, laid back and sincere society (try not to focus on politic situation right now) .... a lovable country where you find peace and mordern live harmonically.

oh kenya is great.its the best place to live in the world if u have money.contact me if u need to come ad enjoy yourself here.+254723860673

Forza Penarol!

Amazing country. Please don't tell anyone. There are no crowds right now.

Best place in the Western Hemisphere. The best of Europe and South America mixed. Great soccer. Eduardo Galeano. Beautiful Spanish with an Italian accent. Salto or Montivideo. Ti amo, Uruguay.

I live on the neighbouring planet Atraxus Noveti and my family and I spend all our vacations on Epsilon Eridanus IV. In the Noveti language, which would take up the space of 250,000 library shelves, if I were to translate it here , so I will give you a very loose English translation " I feel all lollopy when I'm swimming in the hydrochloric sea of this interstellar paradise"

If you think the the USA is such a bad place to live then why do you stay there. I moved to the US 17 years ago and the friendliness and hospitality I have received from the hundreds of American people I have met,worked and lived with has been truly fantastic. For me Americans are the greatest people on the planet.

@guest above me (or at bottom of list before this comment). The reason you have all that violence over there is because of all the extremists that come to your country.

It may not be the PERFECT, it may not be the BEST, it may not be the IDEAL, .... but this is the nation that has been welcoming all with open arms, sharing its opportunities, providing its facilities and despite some of the very negative points, this is by far the best comparing to any other nation!!! I just wish people had a little more time to internalize than to be in a auto-pilot and specific enculturation. But nevertheless A Great Nation which deserves Respect! An India

the US is for sure the best country. what i like about it ( aside from freedom) is that you could down south if you want to always be warm wit 70 degree weather winters. or you can live in a multi season state with hot summers and cool winters,

keep thinking that this country is the best! but it is not! You don't know cuzzz u don't think outside the box. and thinking outside the box means knowing thee world around u and knowing that the world is devoloping reallly fast then u r!! i m saying thiis cuz i have been to more than one country around the world and lived there for more than 2 years!! So, first u should go outside of here and than say that this is the best in the world or not.

To the last guest's comments. I suggest you try living in the UK and see how elitism in that country separates the have and have nots. Under successive governments in Britain the rich get richer and the poor have to foot the bill especially under Conservative administrations.

Too bad your "true democracy" is full of lobbyist and bureaucrats that take away the comfort of a normal citizens life that they lose their freedom to live in that comfort which is an essential aspect of a "true democracy".

It is a fact that the United States is the only true democracy in the world. Not even the President of the United States is above the law as he can be impeached. In Britain The Queen IS above the law and cannot face prosecution so Britain is NOT a true democracy.

that's good,you've dodged all the gun violence on your streets and haven't gotten sick and ended up in a hospital and then going bankrupt because of no health insurance,reason been of the cost

I live here and I couldn't be happier. That's all I have to say. Thank you.

if it's that crap why stay?

Although it is economically better than England and got a nice night life environment in its capital city, Scotland is very very cold! and people are really into themselves only, they are as racist as English. Its an ignorant nation that knows nothing but socialising in bars and consume the most amount of Alcohol in the world. Go see drunk people on streets after leaving clubs at 03:00 a.m and you will feel really sorry for how spoiled this nation is. If you are a foreigner you will not get same chances of living like Scots. Discrimination is there and if you will be lucky to get some scottish friends then don't hope more than that. When it comes to having special love relationship they would rather die to mix their blood with yours: FACT! ... Experience: living there for a very long time.

What a great and unique country. I had the privelage to do a world tour project on Scotland and i learned how awespme it is!!!!!!!

Horrible. im from nigeria living in canada and no amount of money will take me back there to live. I wouldnt even visit now for fear of being kidnapped for Ransom. Lots of natural resourses and human talent but plagued by EVIL leaders and Corrupt police who idare say are worse than armed Robbers!!!

na wa for u ooo... im from malaysia and married to a 9ja guy from kaduna.. u guys have a nice country to visit but not a nice play to stay.. everywhere is drama.. noise everywhere.. but i cant deny dat u dont have any serious natural disasters there.. n ur food is delicious.. especially pounded yam n tuwon shankafa..

There no queen in or belongs Ireland

awz really philippines is very beautiful country in the world you know...........

i think that Afghanistan is the most powerfull and richest country in the world

so much terrorisom -canadian

The last comment is the most retarded thing I've ever read. If I want statistics I'll consult Wikipedia you retard. How about having an opinion instead of a copy-and-paste article?

Calling Afghanistan the World's richest country might sounds a little odd, but did you know that the country has extensive deposits of barite, chromites, coal, copper, gold iron ore, lead ,natural gas, petroleum, precious and semiprecious stones, stones, salt, sulphur, talc and zinc.

unfortunantly I’ve still not been in Afghanistan – but I hope one day…

ye, good country; it really is! so no lying by media, please, stop, media stop bad portraying of our beautiful country!

Its bot a bad a place as the media portrays it

Its war there

WAR!

uk and ireland are 2 different countries thats like saying uk and france

Not strictly true.... Germany saw the UK as its natural ally, had the Empire sided with the Nazis their excesses may have been attenuated and we would not have such an appalling global bully now as the USA? The Soviets defeated the Nazis if we are honest the Western Front was largely a 'sideshow'. If Britain had stood alone without US and other help then WW2 would have lasted much longer, but I think the Soviets would have won in the end. It's strange how Americans views the world and I think for most we are pleased their day is over. They don't seem to understand why they are so universally disliked. It's not envy, believe me. They had a chance ...and blew it. Still, as Sarah Palin says, they must be glad North Korea is an ally! It could be argued that if the UK had not held out alone for 2 years...the US would today be speaking Russian?...as it is, it's Spanish. So maybe the Mexicans won WW2..

if it wasnt for the us the uk would be called naziland and same with the rest of the world

Great country. Great beaches, great soccer, great people. Italian influence, not too crowded. Can't wait to live there.

I chose Colombia to live, having visited some 70+ countries. The people are the warmest and friendliest you're likely to encounter anywhere.They rarely socialise without tagging along the entire family, a few distant relations and as many friends as can be fitted into a minute Kia taxi. The women are truly beautifull and totally charming. Flower and fauna are quite simply amazing, as is the topography generally. The government don't meddle in your affairs uneccessarily and there's a pleasing absence of political correctness and 'elf and safety. The only negative is the food is a bit unimaginative.

Colombia is simply the Best in the world on just about everything! AND IT IS VERY SAFE! Colombia has beautiful Caribbean beaches (the longest such beachfront property on the Caribbean), and it also has the most astonishing Pacific coast beaches –not to mention the Amazon and Orinoco rivers with their pink dolphins, along with the longest tourist cable-car in the world from which to see it’s grand canyons (such as the Chicamocha). Colombian cities are incredibly beautiful. Just the capital alone, Bogota, is a wonder to behold. Unbeknownst to many around the world, Bogota’s thriving cultural scene is now exploding to the point that it has made the city the cultural capital of the world! With hundreds of art galleries, over 75 museums, the largest library system in the world, great academia, a diverse music scene that is truly unmatched, and best of all; the largest (and best) international theater festival (Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogota). Bogota, boasts over 4,000 parks and the world’s largest urban dedicated bicycle routes, and with its incredibly wonderful international gastronomy and perpetual Fall/Springtime temperatures, it is as close to living in paradise as any megalopolis will ever be. See: www.bogotabrilliance.com for more info. Colombia also has the best healthcare in the America’s (as ranked by the WHO), also has the best eco-tourism options. Colombia, is the most bi-diverse nation in the world (per sq. meter). No less important, Colombia has enjoyed the oldest constitutional democracy in the world (after the USA). But the most wonderful thing about Colombia is its warm and generous people, and that’s not just because they are beautiful people –just ask anyone who has really been there, and you will almost have a unanimous chant; that perhaps the nicest and happiest people in the world are the Colombians –just go see for yourself!

Criminality is rocket high so no no no.

Argentina is one the most blessed countries in the world, but it will not improve and reborn within all resources and very adaptable people, till "peronismo" (actual and through many years "cancer" politic party) disappers. Is that simple, believe it ot not.

The Isle of Man is NOT a country! Its part of the UK!

What? Come on! It's a gorgeous country with an interesting culture but let's be real! In Canada life is way better and easier! Why do you think they are all going there to live??

You can't possibly be saying it's a better place!

very laid back. very tropical. nice people. awesome food.

where is that?

yup! PHILIPPINES is a very beautiful country. GO PHILIPPINES!!! :)

But dont they eat people in the northern parts?

Philippines is most beautiful... aside of natural wonders of the earth, they became popular of their attitude like family ties, hospitable, religious, respectful, caring, etc.. Philippines also can boast their foods and native delicacies, fruits, etc.

I definitely agree!!! Philippines is a beautiful country surrounded with beautiful and intelligent people is what makes the country great! you will never see the hospitality of the Filipinos all over the world. The people have the most kindest hearts, and speak english! you will never feel left out, they are the most helpful people. In addition, the beaches and the natural resources are trully magnificent and breath taking! There are so many islands, great for honeymooners, vacationers, and tourists. The Food are great, and diversified for any culture. The way of living is simple, but once you visit once, you will go back again, and again, and again!!! It is a country you will never forget, and you may consider living at. GO PHILIPPINES!

they have the best Asian food of all times!!!!!

people in the philippines are hospitable and deeply religious...they think of God before anything else and most all they are very positive about life.

Philippines is most beautiful...

Ethiopia -THE PROMISED COUNTRY -is the best country to live and work.

whats so amazing about venuzuela
