Petty insults do nothing except show that you are unable of coming up with a witty response 🙁 . If you would use the English language properly, misunderstandings like the previous one would not occur.
My friend, you are also apparently impervious to sarcasm. Very very sad 😖ad:
I'll just let that one marinate.
You mentioned comparing the US to the countries going through civil war is stupid. The discussion was about the list in the OP. I was comparing the US to the countries in that list. Not all the countries in that list are going through civil war. Again, your wording was incorrect which led to another misunderstanding.
No, not all of the countries were, but am I asking you about all of the countries? You answered my question with a question.
Just answer the question, you think that the United States is as bad as countries going through civil war?
We are discussing certain aspects of those countries, not comparing things like industrial power and such, so comparing a first world country to a third world country is not idiotic. Your reasoning however on the other hand...well....
Industrial power has nothing to do with anything. Economically, they are retarded things to compare.
To use one of your statistics as an example, The poverty line in the U.S. is MUCH higher than the poverty line in Indonesia.
Poor in the U.S. is around <$30,000 depending on how many are in a household. I bet anyone making $30,000 a year in Indonesia is closer to middle class.
Please let me explain as obviously you are hurting yourself trying to understand. You initially said "if you honestly believe that the USA is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, you're a clown." That was not only a misinterpretation, but also an assumption. I replied with a "misinterpretation" and "assumption" of my own to show you the error of your ways. That is Sarcasm, not hypocrisy 🙂 [/color] [/B]
I lol'd at this post, seeing as I NEVER said "if you honestly believe that the USA is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, you're a clown.". Read again slowly, and get the right user.
Second, the original post was this:
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.
In which he is saying that you believe that the USA is ONE of the most dangerous countries in the world, and you reply with this:
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
In which you say that he's assuming that you believe that the USA is the MOST dangerous. Then you go on to say that he shouldn't put words in people's mouths.
Hypocritical and ironic.
Read more slowly please, it will help everyone, including you.

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.
Others as well, true, not just the US. However, the US also belongs on the list.
How exactly does that affect the whole issue? If a poor person in the US is let's say a person who's salary is less than X where X is the cost of one kg of pork chops let's say (just for example's sake) and a poor person in Indonesia is a person who's salary is less than Y where Y is the cost of one kg of pork chops, then does it matter if Y is smaller than X????? I see no logic in that....
Yes, it is, you finally got it 🙂 . How many terrorist attacks in Iraq or Afghanistan are directed against the civilians and how many casualties do you think they produce??
Civilians reported killed by military intervention in Iraq:
Min 50998
Max 56533

NO, by your rational, ALL countries belong on the list as all countries have had tourist mishaps.
Because a poor person in the U.S. is less likely to mug a tourist out of necessity than a poor person in India simply because the poor person in India is in a much higher state of despair than the poor person in America.
Most terrorist casualties in Iraq & Afghanistan are civilians (read the news), civilians are being killed on almost a daily basis in Iraq due to terrorist attacks. Anyhow, we are talking about tourist, so if you feel safe that some homemade bomb placed in a cafe' won't kill you because you're a tourist while sipping tea in Baghdad, go for a holiday. I heard those explosives are" smart bombs" and the shrapnel avoids tourist.

I'm about to leave work now. Anyone got any suggestions on what I should throw out the window at anyone who ran out of gas and is trying to walk to the nearest gas station? I'm all out of grapefruits, so don't bother suggesting those.
A bottle of Strawberry Yoohoo
