If you could choose the country where you have been born...

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

Born stunted and/or sickly in ancient Greece or Rome. Death by exposure to the elements. At the hands of my own parents. Instead of weeping crocodile tears for the disabled, the ancients were straightforward and did not beat around the bush.

Switzerland or Belgium....
For the chocolate and beer.
we all know why....

Here and the buy a place in america at least if I need to ctb it will be easy since ill be w citizen of Switzerland. Canada too.

 

[Lmd]

I like where I was born, it has practically everything that people aspire to. It's a shame that people don't value it and that our politicians are leading us to a bottomless pit.

 

[Revered]

New Zealand.

 

[Panna]

Venice, Italy, the gondolas are a dream, the canals, all that architecture, yessir

 

[mediocre]

Spain because I think Spanish people are sexy!! Maybe then I would have been semi-attractive

 

[Squiddy]

I'm fine being born in the US, but if I had to choose another country, then Canada since weed is legal there

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

somewhere where SSRIs / psych meds aren't given to children. If that wasn't a problem then I think Holland or Switzerland

 

[Celerity]

Norway. No doubt about it. I was really impressed by the country and the people when I visited there.

Well, the country I was born in, Kenya, isn't the country I'm a citizen of, or come from, and I haven't been back there since I was a baby.

I wish I'd been in Northern Ireland as I would then have been eligible for Irish as well as British citizenship. I'm knowledgeable about Ireland but I don't feel Irish or feel I could be accepted as Irish, though I know an Australian who's never even been to Ireland and he qualified for Irish citizenship through his grandfather and travels to Europe on an Irish passport.

As it happens, I did consider going to the Cliffs of Moher five years ago to jump off them,

The cliffs are beautiful. I wish I could visit them. Maybe I'll add them to the bucket list.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I guess i love my home :: CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRCA: The most beautiful / murderous playground cesspit city in the world (apparently!)
{by death toll, not capita} - (though I move between C.T and J.H.B to be truthful...)
all this murder & death around me :: & i just can't get it right.
even came close to a great shark while surfing once - thing was huge: but it just nudged my board & swam away...
(i firmly believe it was because I was pee-ing in my wetsuit and not cos i was depressed that it found me...)

have been fortunate to travel lots: love different places for different reasons:
Varanasi - spirituality
Mauritius - lifestyle
Amsterdam - hedonism
Britain - music & lights
Italy/ Egypt - art & religion & magic
Scotland - love
Thailand - people

 

[GrumpyFrog]

I'd choose Great Britain. I've been in an Internet community of Brits that mostly all got to meet up with each other for quite a while, and they are relally lovely folks. I'd love to be born somewhere around, so I'd be one of them. It seems like life in Great Britain is so much more civilized than it is where I lived.

 

[Ender]

Iceland

 

[Skathon]

Scandinavia during the Viking Age.

 

[submersion]

Currently I'm thinking Switzerland. I don't feel that I belong in my country. basically speaking 4 languages in South Korea is considered 'weird' and also in some cases, can cause jealousy from others. which is something I had to deal a lot (when I had friends).
tbh I wish I was born wherever I can speak 4 languages and not get constant reactions from others.

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

Finland I love the cold and winter in general.

 

[StevieNixs]

...which country would you choose. I live in Germany and i try to think about the prvileges that I have. But if you don't have a job here it is difficult (as in the most countries). I probably would choose Norway, Sweden or Switzerland. Maybe Switzerland due to the euthanasia.

Tahiti, other parts of Polynesia, New Zealand, but I'd want to be Maori as I love their culture (been there), Cuba (also love the country, people, culture, music, healthcare - I don't care that it's socialist), Dominica as its rainforesty and pretty, Venezuela before it became a failed state or the Pitcairn islands as there aren't many people there and it's hard to get to.

 

[Helplessturtle79]

I rather be born as a girl in China = Insta-Kill

Spawn kill

 

[FuneralCry]

Of course I would go for Switzerland because euthanasia is legal there. Apart from that, anywhere very cold. I really hate the warm weather.

Yeah the Greeks and Romans had the right idea when it came to death and suicide. You could make a case for yourself at The Senate for why you wish to die, and if you convinced them you were allowed to use the poison Hemlock.

I'd live in a hockey crazy country like Canada or some places in Europe like Sweden, Finland or the Czech Republic. The sport Hockey is the only thing I still get enjoyment out of. Nothing else.

 

[Emmy]

I am a old man who lost his Sweetheart 4 1/2 years ago and wish to join her. In my 95 years I have experienced enough pain, especially missing my Sweetheart which has been by my side for 69 years. I survived the war (WW2}, 4 years as POW and all the troubles Life threw at me and then the only bright light which told me to get something to eat and closed her eyes for ever.
Why can't someone like me (who is only a burden to everybody around) get a dose of Nembutal at a affordable price instead of all the many questionable way's we hear about ? and as I understand fail for 95 %
It is the old story - if you are born from the right people, the right place Life can be a great experience mostly with an easy end - then there is someone like me. - hard work, a hard time and left pining for the one spark which lit up my Life

This is so beautiful, I wish you to join her soon, and find the rest you deserve in the other world

Wait a moment!This person is 95yrs old and he is on SS????O__O
Wow...how did he found it?

 

[Famous Last Words]

Germany, Sweden, Norway or Finland.

The UK used to be decent up until about 10 - 15 years ago but now it's sleepwalking into becoming a right-wing dystopia.
