Countries you would never go to?

I wonder if everyone keeps saying France because of the attacks ISIS has done there. It's just that I know it's one of the most beautiful countries on Earth.


I've heard about how gross it is though. Our french club at school actually took a trip to Paris or something and they said it was bad.

Also I've heard that there was smog there so thick you could barely even see the eiffel tower.

I would personally never go to france.
 
I could just say any of the warmer/hot regions of the world - that covers the majority of the dangerous places to be whether we're talking humans or animals. I'd have to add on Russia. I'd have to say that at the bottom of the barrel is probably the mid-east for me, though. It's sad, because I love history and would love to see some of the sites... But the sites are being blown up by extremists, and the area is also unapologetically sexist, homophobic, and thinks that nonreligious people should be executed. I most certainly would not be safe on a trip there since I'm everything they hate. =/
 
No, no its not.

I don't think you can claim a country is bad when you've never even been there. If you've lived in said country for an extended period of time, then you'd actually have experience there and know what it's like as opposed to just reading some articles about it online and basing your opinion solely on that.
 
I don't know, but I probably wouldn't want to to overly corrupt or dangerous areas unless I really have to or something. I mean there/they are probably beautiful places beyond that, but I don't want to get heavily damaged because of it.

Its my opinion, and I'm not fond of countries where guns are legal so that gives me the reason to believe it is not a good country.

One of the really hot and poor places in Africa. I'd probably die.

Well those places are probably interesting if you're interested in history or culture but yeah some places are really corrupt and unstable due to being former colonies and having numerous civil wars etc.

Would be really cool to go to Guinea-Bissau though because it seems like a really interesting place and I have some knowledge of its modern history and I do like some of their old music from the 70s-early 80s c:
 
Can't believe how many people would rather go to Nigeria or Congo's Democratic Republic than to Russia according to this thread :0
Nigeria is a pretty good place. At least owerri and amiri are :) there's not a place I wouldn't really want to go to except China. Feeling weird because people are so quick to judge all of Africa like its a monolith but don't actually know how diverse and beautiful it can be.

Russia, the Middle East (just... all of it), some parts of Africa.... and anywhere that is ruled by religion.

Basically, I'd go to Canada or Europe. I really want to see England and Ireland some day.

Just because guns are legal doesn't mean everybody has guns. Besides, guns aren't the worst weapons in the world.
 
north korea lol.

Most Middle Eastern countries. As a woman in these cultures, I'd get in a lot of trouble because I would not take kindly to being treated less than and like some form of property to men.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????? we are treated the same thank you
by the way tourists and non muslims are not obligated to wear hijabs/scarves if thats why yall think we're so ~oppressed~

Dubai. I'm turned off by it because of the obscene amount of wealth it throws in your face... just seems superficial. Basically the same impression I get from Singapore.

That's pretty much the same reason I wouldn't be interested in going to Dubai. It's just too much for me
 
basically anywhere that's too hot/cold, and anywhere that's corrupt/where there's a war going on/dangerous in general.
