All of Africa except Egypt (Cairo really, I only care about the Sphinx and the pyramids; lol), South Africa (more like the Cape, but yeah), and Namibia (Windoek, looks so nice in photos and videos).
All of Eastern Europe except Poland. Its not that I want to go to Poland, but rather that its quite possible one day I might say 'what the hell' and buy a ticket to Warsaw. I've been known to do spur of the moment decisions like that.
Any of those Asian countries that end with -stan (Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, etc).
North Korea (at least while its under a dictatorship).
Any country suffering a war of some sort. While I want to have to die for experiences while abroad, I don't actually want to die... you know. lol
That's pretty much it as far as definite no go areas for me. Everywhere else I could visit if the opportunity arises (or I get one of those 'what the hell' moments, lol).

India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Philippines, Eritrea, Bangladesh, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Venezuela, Ecuador, Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia, Lebanon, Palestine, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, all the unsafe/dangerous Carribean islands, and all the other third world countries.
I have no interest in Thailand, New York City, Melbourne, Brisbane, Russia, London, Fiji, China and Indonesia.
North Korea would be an interesting place to visit, IMO (as scary as it is). I hear that tourists are protected. But I don't know.
Actually Iran is supposed to be a fascinating place, but I would not visit as long as the current government is in power. I would never visit a place in a state of war(Syria for example) There are some places in Africa I would like to see, but I would probably only visit safer African nations like Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa. Some places I would not visit because they just do not seem interesting. Korea is one of those places I just don't care if I ever see. If I go to the trouble to visit Asia it's going to be a more interesting place like china, Japan or Thailand.

Actually, there are no countries I would never want to visit. There are some where I am unsure whether I would like it there, but that would not stop me getting there.
I am quite shocked about people not wanting to go to some countries because of religion.
Maybe NYC was a stretch, but Thailand never allured me. I guess I'm not into tropical places, loud nightlife and all that. Brazil (Rio) is another one.

Yes, Iran is not bad of a country itself, but its Islamic government is what poisons it. Iraq is also a nice country and has natural beauty to the north (also historical beauty). But it's corrupted by war and terrorism. However though, Kurdistan's Duhok is relatively safe (arguably more safer than many African and Latin American cities).
war and terrorism inside Iran? nope. Iranian government is involved in wars abroad, but the same can be said about USA or Europe.

I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
