Name the ****iest countries in the world

There is no such country as 'America'. I take it you mean the USA.

I think that before you comment on anything you ought to bring your education level up a notch or two. Try checking reality, like say, a few dictionaries. I think there will be posters kind enough to explain to you what a dictionary is.


If you think that 41 million people in the USA are "living in extreme poverty" then you have never seen what actual extreme poverty looks like.

Extreme poverty, much of it caused by the USA raping and pillaging myriad countries.
 
This reality doesn't make America the ****tiest nation in the world

It sure shines bright spotlights on the stunning hypocrisy of the USA.

The US is the ****tiest nation on the planet because it is the largest marauding gangster, war criminal, terrorist "nation" on the planet. Being at war for 93% of its years as a "nation" certainly boosts America up into the top ranks of the ****tiest nation on the planet.
 
Then they should end it
and make the situation even worse? Why not work toward repairs instead of abolition?

The fact that you and too many others don't or can't understand the problem of extreme poverty in the richest nation, is probably the primary reason there is no effective effort to solve the problem.
 
Lots of comments about white farmers in South Africa but the stats don't prove anything so far . Afriforum's figures which are widely circulated are based on 2007 figures from the last time only commercial farms where white farmers were counted, the murders include people murdered on small non commercial farms and does not give any account fo whether the people murdered were visitors / relatives or farmers themselves.

That approach gives a figure of 156 per 100,000 farmers. Here is the only reliable source so far attempting to calculate the figures.

More worrying however would be President Cyril Ramaphosa intending to copy what Mugabe did in Zimbabwe by confiscating white farmers' land without compensation and handing the land over to untrained "farmers."

It has to be remembered that the land was originally stolen from Africans, nobody with two brain cells can deny that but this proposed land grab (if the rumour is true) is wrong.
 
Really? Wanna know how they wash their babies in Africa? They spray them with breast milk and let the goats lick them clean.

Be glad you are in a country with values that came down from British Anglo-Saxon laws and values.

When, if ever, have you been to Africa?

Never, it would seem given your ignorance of the facts ...
 
Abductively, I suspect at the moment it'd be Syria, but my assertion to that effect is heavily influenced by the current state of affairs there. In a more universal sense, I don't know what is the crappiest country in the world, but I'm sure I've not yet visited it.

Obviously, there're a lot of places I haven't been, so I'd have to say that the crappiest country in the world must be one of them. Nearly all the places I have been have their crappy bits and aspects and their not so crappy aspects. I haven't yet found something not to like in St. Barts., but it's the only place about which I can say that. As for TROTW, well, if one wants to look for what's wrong and crappy about a place, one will surely find something. That's not how I travel; I seek what's good about the place in which I find myself. After all, I don't go there to gripe about the place; that'd be a miserable way to spend my time in a place I don't live and in which I have no vested interest.
 
I've been to quite a few countries. The Philippines is a pretty crappy place, as are the rural towns in Russia. Many of the slums in the Caribbean/Central/Latin America are extremely dangerous and the poverty is horrific.

I've been to eastern Ukraine twice since the Russian invasion. Very dangerous in contested areas and from buried MON-50 anti-personal mines. Ruined industrial sites in Donbas are an ecological disaster.

How do you expect anyone to believe anything you say when you advance lies? Can you explain why it was Victoria Nuland walking down the streets of Kiev with the Neo-Nazists the US's $5 billion bought and paid for instead of Putin?

Perhaps the crappiest country in the world is the one that has caused so many countries to be crappy because of US right wing dictatorships, US raping and pillaging said countries.
 
Syria or any war torn African country (I'm not up to date on who is killing who on the Africa continent) is probably top of the list
 
That MUST be why so many want to immigrate here. Your entire post is a clown car of propaganda failure.

Look, the truth is somewhere in between. The US has made great contributions to the world in many areas, reviving democracy and creating jazz and rock, to name a few. But... just read today that our incoming Sec of State said he wanted America to "get back our swagger." It's the swagger that is the problem, it gave us the Vietnam war, the overthrow of democracy in Guatemala, Iran, Nicaragua (Somoza is an SOB, said FDR, but he is our SOB), Chile, our notion of American Exceptionalism, i.e., we can do no wrong, etc. Now Pompeo said this to DOS employees, perhaps understandable given the agencies reported decline in morale.

But I can imagine the eyes rolling around the world. Mussolini had swagger too.

Don't like history, do you, unless it's the typical BS Hollywood crap lying about the US's long and sordid history?

I get you irrationally hate America. I just don't care for your brainwashed opinion.

I am not sure how you could be aware of that meme as you are unacquainted with "the truth".
 
Certainly not in Texas, the ****hole of the Earth.

I other words you are hiding something. Dishonesty suits you well.
Thank God you don't live in Texas, your mouth would make you a frequent flyer at the ER.

Take a deep breath, Casper, you are highlighting the US's true colors - resort to violence! 93% of your years as a nation at war. Doesn't that just make your patriotic heart swell to burstin'?

You refuse to address the US's long and sordid evil past and present and you have the temerity to accuse me of dishonesty. You sure do know your propaganda. But it doesn't work on people who can think.

How in hell would YOU know where anyone on this board lives or has visited?

Do everyone a favor and stay in CT.
