Yes, the beer bottles thrown out of cars is an actual thing to be scared of, in all truth. People will throw shit at you if you're not careful, so I think you have all valid points. There aren't many guys wandering around on camels with uzi's however, so there may be an advantage in that department.
compare the number of drive-by shootings in the US with the number of ride-by shootings in Afghanistan 🙂
ps: I am not on some mission to make the US seem like the most dangerous country in the world or anything. I am just trying to point out it should have been on that list from the get go

That would be completely retarded, so no. I'm going to assume that you meant compare the homicide rates. But that's impossible, because Afghanistan doesn't report their homicide rates.
If you made a list of most dangerous developed countries, the USA would belong on it, and near the top. It clearly doesn't belong on this one.

With all due respect my friend, if I were to move in to the US and live there or travel to the US, I would go to one of the large cities, not rural farmlands, woodlands and mountain ranges. As I recall, the OP was about "Live in or travel to" .Also found it funny how there were so many third world countries in that list, yet the US which has a huge criminal rate in cities was not even mentioned.
You think the U.S. is just as dangerous as countries going through civil war?
You need a reality check. It's bad here, but not that bad.

I still don't think the USA would be on it. You would have to take all of the USA into account not just the big cities but the small towns as well. The USA is very safe almost as safe as Canada.....but you did say developed countries so Canada wouldn't count.
Take it easy you bloody Canadian it was only a joke.

My comment was a direct retort to the "people on camels with Uzzis trying to shoot you" comment. I didn't actually mean someone should do that (compare the two) unless they have no life and a lot of money that they don't need.
The OP did not mention that his list involves only developed countries or poorly developed countries. Given that, I find that the US should have also been on the list. The title mentions "Most dangerous country in the World". Consider that I just nominated the US for that list since the OP left it out 🙂
I made it back from lunch and am still alive! I did, however, see some dude on the corner of US-701 reading a newspaper. I floored it, fearing for my life! Luckily, he didn't sprint after me and knife me to death.
On a serious note, if anyone bothered to comprehend the dude that started this thread (M.T. Style or whatever), he makes threads like this on purpose. You know, intentionally leaving the U.S. out so as to start a fiery debate. Frankly, I'm surprised no one (including me) didn't point this out just as soon as the thread started.
PVS loves the guy.

Wickerman, if you honestly believe that the USA is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, you're a clown. There's no nice way to ay that, so I won't try.

😂 Pfff......don't be silly. That dude didn't wanna shoot you. He was obviously from the NSA, spying on your every single move, cause that's what the US government does 😖hifty:
Yeah, I can see how it's a bait, but it is an interesting discussion how some people would consider the US as not a dangerous-to-live-in country.

I'd really love it if you could please point out where you got that list from.
Also, you did not reply to my message.
Also, if after two pages of my saying "all I'm saying is that the US should be on that list" you are still under the impression I'm trying to say the US is the most dangerous, then you're functionally retarded 🙂
See how it's not nice to put words in people's mouths and assume? So don't do it mkay? 🙂

Because as a whole it's not dangerous, unless you want to write out a super detailed definition of dangerous for me to respond to in regards to living in the USA.

That is a dangerous thing to say. The dude might be a nut job and he is going to wait for you with a icepick behind his news paper and shank your ass and scream out * Told you the US was dangerous *
What happened to that dude who called me a hick? Where'd he go to? I just wanted to tell him about our progress. Within the next few years, we're getting the Internet down here!!!!

Yeah, it could have been someone in this thread who needed to show me first hand the brutal violence we go through every second of every day.
