I don't want to be a Grinch, but I am wondering why so many of the subjects here are so adolescent. "Best" city, "worst" city, "best" country, "worst" place... Anybody with a modicum of sense knows that "best" and "worst" are extremely relative depending on who you are and what you want in your life.
Debates about such things are completely sterile and often degenerate into mud fights or the bashing of places that many people have no real information about.
I figure that I will be ignored, but I would like to suggest that a little more thought be given to starting subjects. It might enrich the discussions, people might learn things, and there would possibly be fewer rants. Calling on personal experience generally makes things more interesting.
A subject like "where did you have your worst meal?" will always be more interesting than "what country has the worst food?" and it opens up the possibilities much more. Some of us have had our very worst meal in our favorite restaurant.

It's a problem which appears on almost all the forum boards.
Unfortunately, the discussion really doesn't belong here in the World forum, but in either About the Forum or Other Topics.
