Where would you least want to live?

[Boris Godunov]

Tie:

Cambodia or Taliban-run Afghanistan.

However, I'd add to the list Europe during the black death. Definitely wouldn't want to be around then.

Haiti, 1964-1971.

China in 1955-1972, Rwanda in 1994-1996 and DPRK since the 1980's are close, though.

[Al B. Sure!]

for me, Turkey and Afghanistan would be ridiculously easy. An Arab who is morally conservative would have no problems


thanks

Germany, 1940-1945

Too many bombs over cities.
Too much SS, which killed (or "locked in") people with the "wrong" ideology / religion / ... or something else.

As said before without doubt Cambodia takes this one.

The whole population was in fear, there was nowhere to hide as all the cities were cleared and all people moved to the countryside. Any who had a university background or were considered either wealthy or intellectuals, any with any link to anyone who had been part of any previous government, any who had been teachers at any level of education were killed. Even loyal kmer rouge cadres lived in total fear of being denounced, only the top five people of the Kmer Rouge government were relatively safe.

On top of this fear, the Kmer Rouge project YEAR ZERO, which was their national policy, totally ripped apart their agriculture and people were starving, but they all had to go to work from early morning til early evening. Children were kept back during the day and a few lucky women were given babysitting duties.

Thus the WHOLE population suffered, there were not really any elite groups. Except that those who were under Kmer Rouge control before Kmer Rouge took over the whole country got slightly better treatment than the 'new ones', but they still lived in fear and witnessed the horrific crimes committed.

I remember reading about one case in one work group village, there was one middle aged man who worked hard and people thought he was retarded 'cos he spoke like he was and acted a bit stupid. After the vietnamese arrived he straightened up and started speaking normally, he was the ex-manager of one of the biggest banks in Pnom Pen.

In all of the other cases certain sectors of society or ethnic groupings did not suffer, in Cambodia all were affected.

They did more damage to the socialist cause than 150 years of capitalist propaganda. It is upsetting that we humans look of reasons to do nasty things to each other. Religion, Nationalism, Economics, Colour, Sexuality, etc.

We should all stop being so petty.

Well, I tried to limit it to the 20th century.

[Silpy]

I would'nt want to be around 13th Cen. Europe before the Black Death (or after, at that)

I was reading a paper the other day- medical-type people predict that there will be a massive illness spreding across the world in about 5-10 years. It seems that these things break out on a global scale about every 100 years. The last one was in 1918-1921. It killed millions in Europe alone, but is mainly forgotten now. Pandamemics have destroyed mighty empires in the past, is it possible it could wreck our present world order? Should I start building a Jackson-ese air chamber?

[Lancer]

Took China under Japan. Best chance to either fight back or melt into the countryside, depending on the situation. Go ocean fishing for 5 years...high in protien, low in Japs.
