It is now official, norway is the best country in the world
 

Well atleast according to UN, their little organisation UNDP publish each year a report where they rank all the countries in the world based on income, education, life expectansy and more...

The top 5 for 2002 is:
1. Norway
2. Sweden
3. Canada
4. Belgium
5. Australia

If you wanna read the whole report you can download it here:

Weeeeeeeeeeee :D

But Belgium is number 4. All Belgiums are short, fat little people with strange twiddly moustaches. You can't call looking like that a good quality of living.

I think they also included the quality of the girls in the survey! :thumbsup

lol

Not true - I work in Belgium for couple of month and I swear most of the people not short and fat

Canada No 3. Gooooood !!!!!!
:thumbsup

What a crock............Canada #3.................what a sham:thumbsup

Canada should be #1

WOW Somalia is #6

they all have moustaches though, you can't deny that

3rd aint bad at all

GO CANADA :-)

calm down!

List Canada's exports:

1) Maple syrup
2) err...
3) um...

:winkwink:

The UN can suck my dick.

I will stick with the good old USA!

Hello

My name is UN

I've puckered up

Now please present

Thats it I am moving to Norway

I bet you never been outside the USA :winkwink:

NOTE: Just to let all you people know - all the top 15 countries (rated with the index of health, education, literacy etc) are decimal points away. Eg: .001 different between each of them...

You have to read the whole report to know what it really means. The UN released the report, and it's quite interesting, and it says how countries can improve their democracy. Of course being a "top rank" makes people feel all warm and fuzzy.

Cheers,
Matt

As if we're <b>that</b> shallow ... :winkwink:

Oh, so basically what I was saying is if you are in the top 15-20 then there's no real difference. Sorry to say. It is the bottom 25% of countries that really show how bad of a situation they are in.

And not that this means Canada is going down hill, it just means Norway and Sweden are advancing faster with social welfare - Canada previously was ranked #1 in the world by the UN.

Cheers,
Matt

why are all those countries coming HERE then? We must have something better than anywhere... I'm going to make my own list... give me 5 minutes

What?? Countries aren't going anywhere.

What the fuck are you going on about??!

Canada Rocks!!! If only it could be warm in the winter here, then it would be perfect :)

the people are migrating here you cocksmoke,not the actually countries... where do you live? I'm bumping your shitty country to the bottom of my list...

everybody wants a piece of the U.S. baaaaby!

just find me some Americans that have migrated to Norway,for every one you find,I'll find a hundred Norwegians that came here to match :winkwink:

It is now official, norway is the best country in the world....

if you like women with armpit hair.

Are you volunteering to smoke my cock?

Puff it baby! Puff it hard!!!

GO CANADA GO!!!!!!!

You US people are ungrateful for all the electricity, lumber, minerals, oil and wheat you plunder from our country.

ha, good one

I have lived all over the world (with the exception of africa), and every time I come back to the USA I am more and more thankfull that I live here

LOL, that'd be the french. No norwegian chick that looks decent has armpit hair, I dunno what kind of skanks you have run into, but...

On another note, one of the reasons Norway is the best country in the world would be that it has only 4 million citizens and has oil. Lots of it.

It's not the best country in the world if you are in the adult industry though, as porn laws are very strict, no erect penises etc..

..and Finland was only 10th :BangBang:

You know, Scandinavian countries can be very pretty (as are Scandinavian women), and clean, too, but they have struck me as pretty boring places to live by comparisong with places one could live in the US.

Yeah - and Australia slipped from #2 down to #5 because of our stupid far right government and their treatment of asylum seekers :(
...still: it's a good place to live :thumbsup

i agree

should be #1

Canada is consistently in the top 3 of those. I wonder if anyone has a list of the older ones...

But who can kick all their asses?

Thats all that matters.

You will be #1 so long as we allow you to be.

Give us a week and we will make you #215

Belgium is home to the best beer in the world - now THAT is what I call good quality of living! :drinkup :drinkup :drinkup :drinkup

And besides, Belgium is cool. Brussels is a little boring but Brugge is a very cool place.

People aren't just migrating to the US you cocksmoker. We get boat people showing up on our doorstep here in Australia every day.

In fact, since September 11 the number of US citizens migrating to Australia is significantly up.

I believe 400 only domestics labels. Very gooood beeeeer.
:drinkup

No way! Canada has the best beer in the world! :thumbsup
Not that stuff we call water that everyone else drinks! :D

Yes Sniperbabe, and specifically in Canada you should come to Winnipeg. Why? Because I am here. I hereby proclaim myself as your #1 fan. I will wine you, dine you, and love-you-oh-so-fine-you.

Plus I could pay you handsomely for your sniping duties. Are you really a good shot? I have a few board-stalkers here that need to be picked off.

You can't tell me that! I know as I used to watch Poirot!!!

Gotta admit though they do make good beer and chocolates

I understand your patriotic excitements , but you can not even compare Belgium beer with Canadian, especially dark one

I am not a sniper CD, but I can make 46-48 points out of 50 in 25 meter pistol exercise and you definitely may count on me if we thinking regarding same individuals on this board
:1orglaugh

Canada would have yet again been #1, but the judges remembered this time that Winnipeg exists within our borders.

how about
2: BC Bud
3: Comedians

lol

4.Hockey players :thumbsup

My GF is from Belgium and I've lived about 1,5 year in Brussels & Antwerp. Not sure why you have this image, but I can confirm it's totally untrue.

Anyway I really like that country, they have the best beer in the world and weed is tolerated :thumbsup

... but my heart still belongs to the good old USA :)

Ever been hersh?

I've been to Vancouver, and honestly I think I'd prefer the Island.
