Where do you wish you were born, and why?
-
Anywhere other than Iraq.
Were you born in Iraq?

No control over to whom, just where.
Netherlands. They arent perfect but they have bicycles, freedom, and the shengen area

France. Their culture is more open, they are more efficient, modern and if they dislike something they not just complain but move to change it. Also their trains are punctual (i am german)

Were you born in Iraq?
Unfortunately, yes.

Unfortunately, yes.
I'm sorry to hear that. Are you safe?
-
Wouldn't we all?
I would not break up with my girlfriend back then. My problem is that I still miss her, when though I'm married... It's horrible thinking about something like this for 20 years

Czechia seems like it'd be pretty based. or Estonia. I like Central/Eastern Europe. or maybe Thailand.

Safer than ever.

Yea but you guys have higher wages. Agree on the trains tho (I am not German)
-

Any country which is richer than this shithole

Why?
My country's passport is categorized as the 3rd better in the word, but I never really used it or saw any special advantage to it.
I suppose it can be useful if you travel a lot internationally, but if that's not the case is not really that big of a deal.
My comment was supposed to say ātravel privilegeā instead of just āprivilegeā, just missed a word.

New Zealand, mostly for the charming accent.

Not really. We also have less vacation

Gotta popularize riot season.

I wanna say there was some partnership with Cirque de Soleil but I tried to verify it now and can't find anything so I may have misunderstood or be remembering incorrectly. Regardless, the theater was packed. The kids were amazing. They were doing the types of acrobatic stunts you'd see at a Cirque show. Sure, they weren't quite as good, they're high schoolers, but it was still just absolutely phenomenal!
Leaving, I started to really look around. The buildings on this campus were so huge. Like twice as tall and wide as any school building I'd ever seen. Nicer looking than my college campus. This was a public highschool. I'd never felt jealous like that before. I'd always known the quality of public education was different in different areas, but this was hardly an hour's drive from where I grew up. I'd seen other nice schools in the area before but this one was truly on another level.
So my answer is I wish I was born in Milton High School's school district I guess.

Grantedā¦ youāre born in a house of someone living in the school district when your mom who was making ends meet by cleaning houses went into labor and couldnāt make it to a hospital.
(Couldnāt resist)

lol, that sort it thing crossed my mind when saying it. Because obviously you're not born exactly where you live. I was born in a hospital in Atlanta but my parents lived outside the city. Honestly outside the metropolitan area unless you're being extremely generous with the definition of metropolitan area.

THAT is what i love about france! They actually rise up! They protest! So many germans just complain but then dont get their ass up to mass protest. France rose up when they had their retirement almost raised. Germany did nothing. There is a debate about people should work 48 or 56 hours "for the good of the economy". BARELY anyone protests!

Glad to hear, I hope things get better for you and your country. Also, sorry my country invaded yours and made things even worse.

I am actually living less than a mile from where I was born, like some middle ages peasant who never traveled, but have traveled. I'd like to have been born here, but in the timeline where Al Gore waited for the ballots to be counted and won.
