Honestly, I have 0 interest in living in either place, so yeah. I do think visiting North Korea would be interesting though.

I voted North Korea. I wanted to be different. Smiley

I'm pretty sure they aren't very tolerant of "different" in the People's Republic. Tongue

Is dying a option?

If I move to saudi I'd die anyway, cuz they'd kill me for being Jewish. And I'll never live in Communist nations

You can't just say that and not give an explanation.

     Indeed. Saying North Korea is extremely bizarre for anyone who is not just trying to be a contrarian or different or what have you.

Fellows, it matters not where you are literally so much as where you land in the hierarchy. I'd certainly rather be a high ranking member of the Korean Workers' Party than a begger in Saudi Arabia, or worse yet, a woman.

I choose hydrogen cyanide.

I also agree with Ehead that it depends on who you are and your position in society. I chose Saudi Arabia in the poll but if I was a woman I would have to rethink that.

Yeah, you probably don't want to be a woman, a Jew or an atheist in SA.  And you don't want to be Japanese in N.K.  Well, you really don't want to be anybody in NK unless you are a high ranking Commie.

Now I know that they have pretty strict religious law out there in Saudi Arabia, and other faiths generally aren't tolerated to the point of blatant repression, but to be honest I haven't heard of them going so far as to kill someone because of their faith, unlike somewhere like Afghanistan under the Taliban.

Saudia Arabia for sure.  I might be sexually repressed, but at least I'd have food in my stomach. 

North Korea sure isn't sexually repressed.

A man would be better off in Saudi Arabia, and a woman would be better off in North Korea.

They don't. Everybody is acting paranoid and slightly stupid. If you're a western expat (like all this forum), there's no problem. Obviously, you can't go to Church in public (you obviously can attend religious services in the DQ), but they won't prevent you from being a Christian (they don't like Jews, but there's this thing called lying about your religion on immigration papers, you know).

The only thing the religious police does not tolerate is Saudi Christians, homosexuals, Jews and so forth.

I would quickly be stoned to death or something in Saudi Arabia, so North Korea.

This man told me he was offered a well paid job in North Korea a few years ago and would have taken it just for the adventure, but the offer was rescinded when they found out he had served in the German army as a conscript and was therefore likely to be a NATO imperialist agent.
