Oh no, you went there!Seems about right.

I have lived in Denmark. I can confirm this. They are far more advanced in well-being and more advanced society. The countries that are surprisingly ahead of everybody is Denmark, Swedan, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Kuwait, South Korea, Japan and New Zealand. This is my personal opinion of course and the countries I found to be advanced when it comes to life and harmony and systems.
The issues with the US is too much competition and over population. Its truly chaos compared to these countries. The Crime rate and homicide rate is ridiculously high for a country that is not in war. Hack there is more homicide in the US then in countries that are in active war.
I don't want to call BS, but BS. Some odd numbers that drop the US rating really stick out:
-The US is ranked 54th for freedom of religion???
-92nd for religious tolerance???
-53rd for primary school enrollment (it's the law that everyone goes to primary school)
-65th Freedom over life choices (I suppose if we legalize heroine that # would go up)
-40th because of traffic deaths (well duh - everyone drives in the US)
-30th for access to piped water while Germany is ranked #1 (when I was there a few years ago, all of Germany was drinking from wells)
-32nd for political rights
-17th for personal property rights
-32nd for early marriage (You'd think a social progress index would be more tolerant of peoples personal choice of when to marry)
-73rd Biodiversity (You've got to be kidding me)
so the military is just ignored? as are income tax rates?
....
not so much the survey, but the TS taking those 'results' and extrapolating that the US is now a second tier countryWell its called the Social Progress Index not the Military Progress Index so why would they measure the military?
Have you been to these places before? I don't think so. If you have then you would have automatically agreed
So the average person in Ethiopia is retarded?Seems about right.
I was only refering to the lavish life and infrastructure. The rest irrelevant in this subject.
ppl have dogs as pet here but there it's Lions, tigers and chetah.. spotting someone with these exotic animals is normal in the public.
You will never spot a old car on the road in Doha and dubai in fact it's normal seeing Ferraris, Bentleys etc etc.
living a lavish life style is considered normal life there
Absolutely agree. A brain is a brain. An Ethiopian can learn as well as a Dane can. There is a strong correlation however that the stronger ones religious beliefs in society yields lower educational opportunities. It's hard to be rational and learn when everything is explained away with supernatural nonsense.So the average person in Ethiopia is retarded?
i call bullshit, if the average person in Ethiopia had the same education opportunities they would post similar results to the rest of world
Seems about right.

you can't be a second tier country w/ the by far strongest military on earth, that's now how this works. Even more so when you're also the richest country
We're all typing on an American forum, about an American sport, on technology developed in the US.......
second tier tho
Nope.
