Current Events > Is Mexico literally hell on Earth?

(+) Yeah! (+)

All of these cartel and sex trafficking stories are the things of nightmares.

It must be, or by UN regulations all those Honduran and Guatemalan migrants in the 5,000-strong caravan would legally have to declare refugee status in Mexico as opposed to going through to try in the US.

somalia ain't worse?

Mexico might not be the safest country on Earth, but it's far from the worst.

Majority of stories are over exaggerated there's only like 3-5 states that are bad....my family has been going non-stop since 1994 twice per year they even go by car.

In North Korea you literally have to be born rich or you're fucked. Even then you may still be fucked depending on Kim's mood.

Places are always worse when you hear about them then when you're there.

For instance I hear so much about Chicago. Been living here my whole life and it's been fine. Bad things happen everywhere you just gotta be mindful of yourself.

what country do you dudes think is the worst in the world? the best?

When I was 8 my dad took us right over the boarder where it's dirty and just blocks and blocks of people selling shit. He would go into the bar and just let us walk around >_>.

Which part of Chicago? I mean, northern Chicago is one of the nicest places you can live in America for the most part, and even some of the more infamous southside areas are probably overhyped/fine during the daytime, but I can't imagine living comfortably in areas like Austin/Garfield Park/80's-90's Cabrini Green.

Especially as part of NAFTA/USMC, they have some serious economic stability as well. That's a big thing most countries south of them would just dream of.

I know the GOP has brainwashed you and somehow 45 made you think that Mexico is the enemy, but stop and thing about what you just said @The_X_Dawg .

- Guatemalans who wont be able to stay in America plan to stay in Mexico as plan B

- Salvadorians who wont be able to stay in America plan to stay in Mexico as plan B

- Nicaraguans who wont be able to stay in America plan to stay in Mexico as plan B

- Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua look like Paris when compared to African countries like Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, etc.

- India and Bangladesh, sweethearts of the Paul Ryan style republicans have much, much lower levels of life than Mexico. Dont take my word for it, look up a list of countries by human development index, per capital GDP, literacy rates, infant mortality rates and... India has a peculiar problem with public open defecation.

So how can you saw mexico is the worst country out there? Stop drinking the orange kool aid, travel a little bit and read up, you will thank me later

We should do an experiment where we send CEman to mexico, TC to North Korea and tcs mom to India (by herself).

Then we should check in 6 months how the 3 of them are doing. Spoiler: only the one who went to Mexico would be ok

If person A dies instantly from a shot to the head, and person B suffers a long drawn-out painful death, at the end of the day they're both still dead. One just didn't go out in such a nasty way.

Nah. NK is by far the worst.

A second tier of bad places would have countries like Sierra Leone and Eritrea.

A third tier would have India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc

A fourth tier would be Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, etc

A fifth tier would be Mexico

(1st tier is obviously the worst)

From what I've heard (though I don't know much about it), Eritrea is generally considered almost on par with North Korea. It just doesn't get nearly as much attention. But I've often heard it described as "the North Korea of Africa".

That's literally classified as the most dangerous place on earth isn't it. Mexico is obviously several notches above that but it's still more dangerous than the US which itself isn't the poster boy of safety
