10 Reasons Why Afghanistan Is The Worst Place On Earth

If you’ve been alive for more than a day, you know that Afghanistan is a dangerous place, where suicide attacks are daily occurrence, women are oppressed, and people don’t have a social live. I moved to Afghanistan four months ago, and my experience in Kabul (the Capital City) has set out to prove why Afghanistan really is the worst place on earth.

1. Suicide attacks are daily occurrence

Not really!

I would have to disagree again.
