Poverty might not be considered the same by everyone, but when a single institution makes the statistics for two countries, I believe they can be compared.
America is one of the biggest targets of terrorism. While not being actively attacked, that is unimportant. It is a threat to the safety of both people living there and tourists. This threat does exist in other countries as well, but it is not as great in most other countries. As for Israel, I can assure you that is not such a great example. Check the number of civilian victims that died in the recent Lebanon issue. Considering it was a "war", you won't come up with the kind of numbers you'd think you might.
Then all countries belong on the list by your rational. Super.
No, I have already explained to you the world of difference between a poor man in America and a poor man in a 3rd world country. They cannot be compared as the standard of living "poor" in America would equate to a much higher standard of living in a 3rd world country. Apples to oranges.
You're right, it is unsafe for tourist travelling to America because of imminent terrorist threats. 🙄 Funny how you still proclaimed that Iraq & Afghanistan are both safer than America where they both (esp. Iraq) have terrorist attacks on an almost daily basis.

in jersey, the most densely populated and possibly most crime ridden state. never had anything thrown out a car at me, and fyi i worked on the njturnpike for 3 summers in the maintenance department. so, i spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, working on the shoulder of one of the busiest highways in america and never had a frikin thing thrown at me. does that make me qualified to call you out on your bullshit?meanwhile there are WARS in iraq and afghanistan, of which you have not experienced. so maybe you should shut your flapping lying noise hole.
lying and trying to blowhard your way to the win is a fruitless tactic worthy of recognition in a certain other thread.
You can think whatever you wish to. Doesn't change reality, now does it?
No, you cannot call me out on my "bullshit", because the simple fact that you have not seen it happen. If you were to say you have been typing to much and your hand hurts really badly and I tell you for the past 9 months I have been working on a computer every single day other than weekends around 10 hours a day and have not once had a problem like that would I be able to "call you on your bullshit" ?
It's really wierd how those WARS exist and yet the people there continue their lives normally eh? Maybe you should stop tossing insults around.
Assuming things shows nothing other than the fact that you are not willing to accept anything other than what you think and are arrogant enough to believe you're always correct.

that makes no sense at all. i have direct experience which debunks your little theory about an american phenomenon with untold masses of people being pelted with objects and killed from moving cars, a danger which dwarfs the hazardous living in baghdad.
you so want to be right, dont you? trouble is you're flat wrong. all the crying in the world doesnt change that.

Yes they do, however definitely not as often. There has not once been a report on any news station or in any paper that I am aware of regarding anything like that.
Also, taking the "throwing stuff" issue has been completely removed from my post without any of the other mentioned issues being even remotely discussed, such as drunk drivers and even being harassed by the police.

i really want you to move to baghdad. not so you'll see the truth of it all, but simply so you'll get bombed and ill never have to read your idiocy again
You've managed to make a post containing nothing but insults. Great addition to the discussion ❌

as bad as the US might be, how the hell would that compare to a country with 137 terrorist attacks on day on average?
I will confess that I've thrown stuff out of a car before, and it was more than a cigarette butt.
One time I was leaving Shea Stadium in Queens with some friends. We forgot to hit the head on the way out the door. If anyone's ever been to Shea, they know it's gridlock trying to get out of the parking lot. So there we were, stuck, and I had to take a wizz like you wouldn't believe. I'm sitting in the backseat and my friend hands me this 44 oz. empty Wendy's cup. So I go and then I'm like, "what do I do with it?" My friend says, "toss it." So I tossed a 44 oz. cup of urine out the window going 20 mph. I don't think it hit anyone on the side of the road, but some of it came back in the car.
True story. Guilty as charged. Take me to that terrorist prison.

No, this thread contains a number of US citizens who are adding nothing but insults and statements backed up by nothing to the discussion

Good grief, this just gets more insane... "Yes they do, however definitely not as often." You said you only witnessed this "threat" happen once in Texas, so how in the hell do you know how often it happens in America, let alone any other country? Please explain that one with your calm fact laden rational?
So now drunk drivers and police harassment make America one of the "most dangerous" for tourist? Please provide proof.

You received better-quality replies before people recognized it as a waste of time.
When your argument is, "America has drunk drivers, so it's more dangerous then a war zone," what the hell do you expect?
