hello all. this is my first thread on this site.
i found this very intresting thing about who stands where in this so called "PEACE" world thingy.
i think its really cool that if we were 25% peacefull with other countrys we would actully not be in debt!!

things could turn out soo much better if the world is peacefull. violence is not the answer to anything. i wish are politics would know that.. i hope you guys injoy!

In before people claim this is a zionist plan to take over the world.


Great post btw...but the idiots on ATS always have to make something out of nothing.

Isn't it great how the USA is 82nd. Even China is more peaceful than us. Egypt is more peaceful and they just had a revolution! What does that tell you?

Somalia, coming in at dead last!

I knew someone would have to make a comment about the USA.
Still rather live here than Xenophobic China or Radically Islamic Egypt.

Well yes, I wouldn't move to China if you payed me. But, it just goes to show....

I am patriotic, don't get me wrong. I just think our foreign policy is leading us down the wrong road.

Sorry if I sounded anti-American there, I get carried away sometimes

Uhuh.
I guess you don't take into account their oppressive regime which possibly scares a lot of people from committing crime.

I'm not saying usa should be top ten, or even top twenty.

Go look up HDI.
The USA is top fifteen.
But i'm sure you don't care since you think everything the usa does is bad.

Let there be peace, peace and peace....
