Where would YOU rather live? The U.S. or Libya?

I remembered a phrase the only thing that is constant in the world is change. For those who can't see change as inevitable or choose to ignore, something is wrong somewhere.....

Your polls is too lopsided maybe Iran or Libya will be a better poll not USA or Libya.

 

That guy's is real unfair, he should pick on someone his own size, using his paradise to compare against the Great Satan, really an insult to himself
tsk....tsk....tsk....

 

Congratulations on being the odd one out. Just curious, your comments especially on the health care, school system etc indicated at least to me that you have lived for quite a number of years in USA. Would you like to share your living experiences in USA and your first hand view on what you had mentioned?

 

Interesting list that was given, wonder what is the list about? Also Libya isn't on the list, do you mean that the list of whatever information it is suppose to represent was in reverse order? The top being the worse and the bottom being the best? That may explain why Libya wasn't on top of the USA in the list.

 

You may want to enlighten me on the source of your list, what was given is just a list of countries, it did not say about what the list was. Secondly the reference you cite is a complete web site of who.int. Maybe you can give us the exact link?

I am not pretending to be stupid, just need more information on what you had thrown at us. Appreciate your input on this.

 

Thanks for the link, but apologies, I scanned through the 88 pages of report and I still can't find that list. Below are some details gleamed from the report. Ranking 37 out of 191, I won't say it is superb but it isn't that bad right? Can you tell me what is the position of Libya BTW? Maybe you can attach the complete list? Once again deeply appreciated.

Life span of USA (2005)
Male 75 years old

Life span of Libya (2005)

Add on from UFCW

In comparison to other industrialized nations, USA does need to improve on its health care. But in comparison as a whole, it still have not done that badly.

You have other lists of grievances.

Anti-terroristic law (Why not? Can you name me any country that do not have laws punishing terrorists?)

No civil rights (Based on what source and compared to who)

Publicly supporting torturing (Yeap Bush is supporting torture openly, but tons of other countries are doing that secretly to innocent civilians, whereas Bush was advocating its uses on top terrorist suspects, though on this front I don't really agree with Bush)

Very bad school system (Is it? Based on? Have you seen the latest ranking of the universities for eg)

Even crappier health care system (37 out of 191, I would consider that mediocre among industrialized nations)

Highest crime rate in the world (Based on?)

Sick society (Whats your definition of "sick" society as in health pointed out as the 37th among 191 countries?)

Brainwashing young population (American youth have the some of the widest access to news and information, certainly won't be easy to influence these people when this is an open society where information loves freely, no one is stopping any Youth from view Al Jazeera for eg instead of CNN)

 

I am not from USA, I am either living in Singapore which is number 6 on your list and Australia which is number 32 on your list.

I am certainly not poking anyone, you had your polls and posted your views, I did the polls and refuted your post. As I always said, this is a forum, we are into matters not members. I beg to differ from what you had stated and had posted my reasons, you are surely more than welcome to correct me on any wrong information on my post or challenge me on my views.
