Heh. Based on the title I thought it was which part of the world would I like to see grow up, as in get to reality already. That'd be most of it.

North America and Europe are the two runaway choices. Nothing else would even come close. In North America you'd arguably have more freedom and opportunity to succeed with hard work, while in Europe you would have the most comfortable life if you were not wealthy.

Europe. obvs. Freedom and opportunity to succeed in the US? You must be joking. That used to be America, but sadly this is no longer true.

What, no choice for "I never want to grow up?"

LOL, after raising two kids into the primal stages of adulthood, I believe you hit the nail head dead center. Ironically, that's exactly what my wife thinks about me. :thumbsup:

Baloney. Sure, freedom is much less than it used to be, but that's the case everywhere. No opportunity to succeed? Tell that to someone like Zuckerberg. There are still ample opportunities to succeed, but it's not easy and never has been.

Don't care as long as there is a step stool and a mirror there to make goofy faces into for hours and I get to be little again.


Growing up is overrated. Actually its the greatest human tragedy.

What nobody wants to grow up in Africa? Or South America?

I can't believe it.

Maybe...I'd like to...if all those people's donations - $$$ funds: "Help hungry children in Africa" wasn't a scam and all money stupid people donated - did reach destination....

There were so much money donated to hungry children in Africa that most of those children in Africa should be overweight at least by now....

And about myself - I was happy to be born in former USSR - I had a wonderful childhood as most kids, friends I did grew up with....Free - prolly best education at that moment, free healthcare...wonderful kindergarten, then - summer camps every summer at age ~9 to 13 - 3 times meal a day, all kinds of activities - chess, football(as it called soccer in US), ping pong, swimming...freedom from babysitters - we didn't need them - parents could leave us alone at home while they were at work...

Big difference in North America USA and North America Mexico. A lot of variations in Europe as well. I think I would still roll the dice with one of those though.

Pretty much this. I can't see how anyone would choose any other continent unless they were born in another place and considered it home.

Eh. I chose Oceania. Growing up on some exotic island sounds like a lot of fun.

North America only if I could specify Canada... if I had to take a 33% chance on Canada vs Mexico vs USA, Europe.
