japan at 3?

surely we love japan over here in the US

but, sadly, the suicide forest is called as such for a reason and they have some of the highest rates

some people there work un-fricking-believably hard




I'm not so sure about the "work hard" part anymore. Western culture is sort of a social AIDS over there.

Japan's strength lies in the fact that it's populated by practically nothing but Japanese and they make no apologies for it.

I'm not even sure those frickers have a word for "diversity".

God i love the Japanese.

25% of Switzerland’s population is foreign

A lot of those are Italians and Germans but they aren’t all white. They also gave a significant Turkish population who are European but I wouldn’t call white. And their Asian population is growing.






No they're not "all white" but for practical discussion purposes, switzerland is an overwhelmingly "white" country and as far as the turks are concerned, there's only about 80,000 of them in a country of around 9 million.

I get your point in that Switzerland is a "diverse" cultural country but it's not at all racially diverse. And when all of your neighbors (except the "guest workers") are rich, you're gonna get along just fine. But like i say, throw in some "american style" diversity and let's see what becomes of Switzerland. That part will never happen though.

Oh, so we aren’t a freaking push over now we are untrustworthy?



Clearly we were more trusted during Obama's apology tour.

Throw a dart anywhere in subsharan Africa and you'll get a worse country than those bottom five countries.

It’s hard to believe people would read this and actually make life changing decisions based on these lists. Ever wonder why the US has an immigration problem rather than a expatriate problem?


Being #7 puts you in the top shelf of countries. We have an immigration problem because of border problems from a de facto cultural caste system in Mexico.

No they didn't.

I said "largely and primarily". Not "completely".

Australia, at a minimum is 76% white and up to 90% white by those who may be mixed race but identify as white. The problem is Australia doesn't keep exact figures on it's population's racial make up.

But i'll tell ya this though. The Australian parliment is over 90% white and that's a fact. That should tell you something.

It amazes me how many people are stupid enough to still think the progressive propaganda being pushed by the media is legitimate news. You’d think after three years of “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA” people would wake up.

Yeah the list is ridiculous. Oman has a monarchy based on sharia law sure, but it has a functioning government with ZERO terrorism. Whereas their neighbor, Yemen, is in a full blown war between Hezbollah and the Hadi govt which has killed hundreds of thousands of people. There is no central government in Yemen. And Somalia isn’t in the bottom 5? Spare me

I was pleased when Trump intended on classifying cartels as terror groups. That’s exactly what they are.

But, for whatever reasons, there was no follow through. The wall won’t solve the cartel problem and as long as the cartels are doing cartel things, we are going to have an illegal immigration problem.

FWIW I could give a shite about the wall, build it. I just don’t think it’s addressing the root of the problem.
