The 10 Safest Countries on Earth

[GabiandVi 34]

I'm surprised Switzerland didn't make the list!

I was just going to say that. And how the hell did Slovenia make the list?

My thoughts EXACTLY! Slovenia? No Switzerland? Otherwise, sounds about right according to my limited knowledge.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Yay Canada.

That's all I've got to say

[Der Bücherwurm 1]

Yes, but it is safe as far as violent crime and likelihood of terrorist attack. I think level of violence is the primary thing they were measuring for.

I'd take a terrorist attack over a catastrophic financial collapse of the entire country any time.

Um, so where are you living right now?

4. Iceland

Iceland went bankrupt in 2008 and had to be rescued by the IMF. Its stock market index was down 93%

in króna terms and 96% in Euro terms.

Guess it wasn't all that "safe" from financial disaster.

And you neglected to mention that the Iceland Krona was then essentially banned from use outside of Iceland. The world then no longer recognized it as a legitimate currency to trade or accept!

[Ban Hammer 13,334]

I totally thought Australia would have made the list!

I don't think I've ever seen a moderator bait another user on VJ before. There's a first time for everything, I guess

[NickD 202]

Yay Canada.

That's all I've got to say

Have to watch for those mosquitoes in the Canada that is north of me, they will eat you alive. Wonder who taught them that, most have never seen a human before.

If you want to travel even a few miles north of Lake Superior, bring you chain saw and plenty of gas. Trees are super thick, can't even walk through them.

Trying to figure out that cartoon. Does that mean they are whiners? lol

No kidding! But the black flies are the WORST up North.

I can't even walk through them when they're thin.

Irrelevant countries generally are.

Don't tell me you actually think Bin Laden attacked because he is jealous of the US.

His family could buy the mid-west.

I think you missed his point, you think Bin Laden and friends are concerned with atttacking Canada?

[Heracles 417]

So true

So you actually think a son of a multi-billionaire attacked because they are jealous of you?

Jealous of what? the ghettos.. the third world infrastructure

I think you missed his point, you think Bin Laden and friends are concerned with atttacking Canada?

Why do you think that is?

Canada is also considered a more probable target for a terrorist attack based on the nation's participation in the War in Afghanistan and strong ties with the United States and Great Britain.

It's not true, it is simply moronic.

Use your brain and ask yourself why that is.

Yeah yeah yeah I have heard it a million times from you, were big bad and evil. Regardless of his reasons there is no way you can justify them. Osama's reasoning is whacked and to try to prove some sort of point by addressing your statement you just made will only make you look bad so it might be a good idea to drop it.
