Would you rather live in North Korea or Saudi Arabia?

I think I can trust my acting skills to feign absolute devotion to a dictator, but to live in a misogynistic theocracy would be much more difficult. As a woman, I would have very few freedoms in Saudi Arabia, and my life would probably be in constant danger. I'd probably be very close to losing my temper while being completely terrified every day. Of course, there's many problems with North Korea too, and freedom of speech would be limited, but I think it would be less limited than in Saudi Arabia. It would be difficult not to criticize the government of N.K., but less difficult than not criticizing Islam and the government of Saudi Arabia.

Plus, I'd rather live somewhere with a similar climate to my own country and at least Kim Jong Un has done the same qualification as I'm currently doing.

Side: North Korea

In Saudi Arabia I would be having to hide my bisexuality so I don't get stoned or lynched. Also it would be so hot and dry and sandy other there. I would hate to live in North Korea but I would narrowly prefer it to any Islamist country.

Side: North Korea

I think I would go n Korea. But what a choice though, huh? It's like asking," would you rather eat rat meat or spiders." Yum yum. Fill er up. If we are talking about having to permanently live there, I think being Muslim would be worse than having to eat rice every day. I'll go n Korea....then look for a way to escape :-)

I'd rather not live in either, but I have many friends from Saudi Arabia and they don't seem too completley miserable and they are allowed to leave there, so I guess I would choose Saudi Arabia, but only just barely

You can leave anytime you want, with little to no interference.

True. Damn am I glad to be a male. Now if only I were white, so I could get some of that white privilege my brothas keep telling me about.

I'll go with Saudi Arabia due primarily to three factors

1. I would be a male in a male dominated society.

2. Their standard of living is much higher than NK.

3. Their robes look much more comfortable than the crap they wear in NK.

Side: Saudi Arabia

If I had my choice between the two, I will take Saudi Arabia.
