Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Depends on which class you're born into. I can think of worse places.
I wouldn't want to be born into Russia. They could still be running citizens through the war meatgrinder in 18 years.
Papua New Guinea is probably my last choice, though. I worked for a company once that ranked destinations by risk levels on several metrics; they were pretty objective about it, as they provided risk mitigation services, and were paid on subscription, not service use - which meant that when customers had to use their services, it cost them money. Anyway, PNG was the worst. Lots of native health risks from flora, fauna, and disease; a severely under-equipped local healthcare system; high levels of corruption, and high levels of violence. And it's poor, making it hard to escape from (not prison-wise, just opportunity-wise). It's simply one of the most dangerous places on the planet, excluding active war zones.
I'd much rather be born into relatively (global average) wealthy dictatorship such as China, than PNG.
