Hey, I'm Norwegian! And my little brother used to play in a black metal band! I feel so lucky...

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Canada was no.1 for 9 years in a row for quite some time, until we fell to no.3. At one point, we were even lower than the US at no.8 or something. Good to see its going back up.

He wasn't part of Mayhem was he?

[thomaser]

No, he wasn't in Mayhem... can't remember the name of his band. They released only one album, and were supposed to do a tour in USA and Mexico, but it all fell apart. He's now working with hauling crates of fish, and will soon start working in an Italian ice-cream bar.

 

[moist]

Well thats probably for the better considering Mayhems ..... "interesting" history and all.

Go Canada!

177 Sierra Leone - Anyone been here?

 

[bjork]

I wouldn't mind visiting Norway... or moving there.

 

[clipunderground]

I love that whole section of the world. However they fail to mention the long dark winters that make people suicidal.

 

[MrPing1000]

interesting that ireland is 10th and uk is 12th.

I wonder where Northern Ireland fits in

 

[nubbe]

 

[thomaser]

His band was called "Celebratum", by the way, and the album is called "Mirrored Revelation". I doubt you've heard about them, but they were supposedly played heavily on Polish radio for a while, for some reason.

And living here is very nice. But so expensive! Liking videogames can be excruciating at times, with prices some times twice of those in the US, partly due to a 24% tax on just about everything. And importing things can be horrible too, due to all kinds of different taxes and fees being imposed on the items before you can pick them up. Travelling abroad is like coming to a magical wonderland of incredible bargains, no matter where it is!

I'm presuming it's in the UK's 12th spot, but i'd like to think that by 'Ireland' they mean 'The whole of Ireland' not just the republic

but up here is a hole

 

[psycho_snake]

[Dagless M.D.]

but up here is a hole

Hole or no hole I'm still anti British

 

[effzee]

woot pakistan is at like in lower human development but its the first one there...meaning we will be the first ones out then!!!


i wonder what bill o reily has to say about this?

 

[gofreak]

Hole or no hole I'm still anti British

How are you anti-British? You don't think Britian or Britishness should exist? Or do you mean solely in the context of the North, or............?

 

[videogamer]

Where's Taiwan? UN probably doesn't want to admit that it exists and is a better place to live than on the mainland. Pah how could they possibly miss the home country of Jay Chou.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Yay go US! On the flipside Miami, FL is rated at number 45,000!

 

[Dagless M.D.]

I suppose I should have elaborated a bit. I meant (slightly sarcasticly) that I am anti british empire and annoyed about the fact that the North is in the UK

 

[navanman]

hey im soooo over the British hate thing and so are the majority of young modern generation irish people. i think we just say we hate the english because everyone else used too.although i always want the opposing team to beat engand in the football, rugby cos theyre always really cocky when they win or always hark back to world cup '66

 

[Lathentar]

go UAE at 49.....

Dubai is probably the main reason it was in the top 90

 

[MrCheez]

But they how can they not rank KENYA! higher??

I know! Norway? More like Snoreway.

Kenya's got lions and tigers! O_O
