Is Afghanistan really all that dangerous right now, for ordinary people? I'm not saying I'd want to go walk around there, but if you're just Habib the Apprentice Goat-Herder are people really gonna frick with you? Not sure I buy it.

If we removed Louisiana from the United States do we move up what 50 spots?

Take any area, like Louisiana, that has been controlled by Democrat politicians for generations, remove them from the list, and the US shoots up 100 spots.

I still laugh at people that think Louisiana is a "red" state. This state has been run by Democrats for 95% of its miserable life. It should shock no one that it is a borderline third world country now.

Based off their COVID-19 responses, I’d rather live in the worst New Orleans slum than any of those top ten. Sure it might not be peaceful, but at least you’d be free.

1974 Randy Newman says “Hello”:

“Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage
On the South Side of Chicago
And the West Side
And he's free to be put in a cage
In Hough in Cleveland
And he's free to be put in a cage
In East St. Louis
And he's free to be put in a cage
In Fillmore in San Francisco
And he's free to be put in a cage
In Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the ______ down”

I could post some crime stats of what’s driving this but I don’t want to get banned on Christmas Eve.

We're currently more socialist than a lot of Scandinavian countries. There's a ranking somewhere that bears that out.

If we didn’t have white supremacy in America, we would be top ten.

Crime stats are a part of it, but this group also considers access to small arms, hate crimes, and “fear” into their equations. Also those blaming Biden, you really think some international group is not blaming Trump too? They bring up his post election reactions as well as Jan 6th.

Oh and the militarization involvements are a huge factor in their equation it seems. So of course the US is going to rank low while some of these European countries rank high.

Didn't a lot of the Houston burbs go Dem last election? Transplants from CA, NY etc I'd imagine.


Yes. I live in Fort Bend and it’s sickening to see it happen. “Hey, this place is great! So great we want to live here! Now let’s change it!”

I’m surprised not to see any Oriental countries.
