The EDL seem more popular than they are because of the marches, etc. In reality, they are a fringe party, not much more so than the BNP. Other European countries have more popular extreme right wing parties than the UK. As for segregation, I don't think it's intentional, rather than Indians and Pakistanis (for example) have bought up certain communities and have just stuck together over the years, operating businesses. I don't think that Britain is segregated at all and for the most part, I think the English are generally very tolerant, apart from the Daily Mail types.

Thailand is still a very traditional culture, as is Brazil in some ways. Pattaya does not represent all 60 million Thais, most of whom live in rural villages and are socially conservative.

Just playing devils advocate here, but should any country with the death penalty be on the list?

Yeah but i think Thailand is even more extreme, if you get caught with even a small amount of weed they act like you are a heroin dealer.
I bet the time in jail will be longer to than in the States, Thai prisons are one of the worst in the world.

An reason why I suggested Thailand is I heard there is an secondary school in Thailand that has an bathroom for transgender people now. Infact I just looked up an article of an school in an rural area in Thailand where there is an bathroom for transgenders. They are not adults but still children that use that bathroom and they think they were born of the wrong sex.

Thalland may have harsher laws regarding some western countries of drug use but the rights of transexuals are likely the best in the world.
