Just go to your nation's capital to see how shitty your country actually is.....I'd rather be in Haiti than half of that city.

If you are referring to the U.S. capital, I have been there recently, in quite a few parts of the city, including in parts that are (horrors!) full of black people, the poorer parts of the city, including east of the Anacostia River, and in SE DC.
Now, if Haiti is, contrary to what I have heard, a paradise, then maybe your choice is right. But if the wikipedia article on Haiti is right, then your claim is ridiculous hyperbole. My guess is that you are just being silly.
Of course, the Haitians do have a cool accent.

I lived in Washington D.C. for three years (plus another two just four blocks away) and we weren't joking when we talked about it having worse demographics than 3rd World nations. I stopped watching the news because I got tired of hearing of people getting killed every day.

Your comparison is still ridiculous. Take a look at:

Haiti has starving people and random bombings. It's one of the least stable places on the planet. Probably the site of the next genocide based on over population.

This from the guy who claims that DC is representative of the South.
Yeah, I'm sure you think you're right. I'm also sure you're viewing through a filter.
Let us know when you move to Haiti. Put your money where you mouth is, and all that.

 so you rather go from first world to third world.
Current currency exchange rate
1usd is 47.31 gourde
And also you are a foreigner so prepared for crimes muggings etc.
Because if you hate it so much here in a developed country please do go make sure to boil the water.

Murder rates in the US are pretty much a global average Polaris. If you moved from some place with low rates, it would seem more violent to you on that count (for example). If you moved from some place where it was higher it would seem more peaceful. We're smack dab in the middle, there's about as many places on either end of the range. Average americans are average, you know?
So...just as an example..if you moved from Podunk, to DC....you would have a similar experience even moving within the states. You might have just come from Podunk, Earth...to the Big City, is all. Large numbers (like large pops) drive towards an average.
DC aint the south, btw.....DC is pretty much universally hated by "the south" - it's one of our strongest traditions.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
