A big deal of our knowledge in mathematics and astronomy comes from Saudi Arabia.

Don't let the retarded close mindedness and short sight most people have here on OT cloud your ideas, NKorea and Saudi Arabia are nowhere near the same.

None of those options sound very appealing, but if I was forced I'd choose Saudi Arabia.

A cousin of mine and his wife are currently living in Kuwait, and he has traveled to places like Dubai and Thailand, and he's getting along well. So, I'd probably choose Saudi Arabia. I would hope if I were forced to move there, I'd get to have some kind of "Matrix" plug-in thing that could instantly help me learn the language :)

Id Pick SA, in alot of ways they are fairly modern, despite there (in my head) often backwards thinking. Im wuite, sure, Im European, yeah, but there are ALOT of those in SA to begin with, and if I stick to larger Cities I would blend in fairly well, and the people there would be fairly used to the sight, and not be too bothered.

I doubt NK would be a hellhole either, if I have to be honest, the Hunger is a bummer, but I'm sure the media often make out the people to be far worse then they really are up there.

The last thing I would pick was a Bullet, especially a 7.62 since there would be little to no chance of survival XD The others atleast gives chances for a good life if luck serves. And as I said, I somewhat doubt that you'd be hated purely for being there. Or that the locals would be an alltogether hateful bunch, xenophopic likely, but conform to a different way of life, is what made humanity survive sofar. I doubt I would be worse off at it then my ancesters.

Rather North korea, to be honest, I think Saudi Arabia is worse with its climate and pure repression toward women and religious minorities or atheists and I simply can't stand it. That is not to say that North Korea is any better, but I've lived half myself pretty much beside North Korea, my home town Dandong,China is a city on the border of China/North Korea, and is a river across North Korea, so I've seen many North Koreans, and we have the same climate and everything, I heard the landscape in NK are worth seeing, so I'll just be a good actor and pretend to admire their leader I guess.

But if North Korea is anything like China, it'll progress to a better place in my life time. While Saudi Arabia goes no where by worse... when oil is not as relevant.

I could not handle the prayer calls over the loud speakers every few hours, and i would not feel safe outside of a embassy or compound. I would probably never have sex again without fear of death. So, no to Saudi Arabia. North Korea would be worse than hell on Earth, so my only option would be bullet to the head.

GrayF0X786

Ones a theocracy the others a dictatorship, both are some of the worst places in the world to live in, so it's not a bad comparison.

I'll probably have a higher chance of surviving in NK but it won't be a good life.

I think if you're young enough, by the time you're 70, you can then look forward to a more progressive North Korea, so it's not hopelessness for life, Saudi Arabia on the other hand is not so predictable.

you guys do realize that around 1/3 of the population in Saudi is foreign? and that English is widely spoken there in the Larger cities? I'd pick Saudi in a heart beat, they got cheap Gas, almost no customs on imports, extremely low taxes, and fantastic infrastructure. Down sides are- most women wear the Nikab. They all look like dementors. That and I can't understand the Saudi dialect of Arabic and am pretty bad at standard Arabic probably would stick with English. religious police would suck and so much of the whabbism is bull but it beats N. Korea by light years.

North Korea has a huge poverty rate and Saudi Arabia is a theocracy which kills people for being different. If you're an insane Muslim male I'm sure it's a great place to live.

I can't understand why people think it's so bad. It's a wealthy nation and unless you are a radical trying to change their ways you will be fine. N. Korea on the other hand has massive poverty and is communist. Womens rights and other issues Saudi may have are the least of their worries.

can't . I don't speak yiddish , couldn't pass for one. funny part is that the name Neturei Karta actually means guardians of the city (I will let you guess which city) back to point though , I think the Saudis did let Henry Kissinger into Saudia , but I think that was an exception to the rule, not too smart to tell the US secretary of state "can't come to our country, youre a Jew".

Yeah apart from the crazy ideological differences, day-to-day life doesn't seem all that bad. I found it quite comfortable there and rather enjoyed it. I often saw women outside (without a man :shock, horror:) and as far as I could tell there were no non-muslims being imprisoned or beheaded - I still have mine.

hmm well Hamas does it. But yes, the Saudi rulers are in a tough situation balancing out anti-semtitism with their monetary interests.

and Im not sure Hamas knows who they are parading around :P , I mean , they don't even hide it., nor do they agree to it because they care about rights and such. its quite funny how the world's state of affairs goes, the Saudis are pretty unnatural allies for the US.
