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.

Or worst if you are born in India.
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.
