Just came across an interesting news item on Belgian news, about the Global Peace Index ...
According to this index the US is the 85th (out of 149) "un"safest country to live in, while the DR is only number 93... not much of a difference then???
I was sticking a medal to myself, as Belgium was number 17, (spit medal that was)... untill I delved a little deeper into how this index was formed and calculated...
Just a couple of ex. (as I do not want to spoil your fun, figuring out all the hilarious mistakes)...
- Trustworthyness and efficiency of the policeforces in the DR score almost the max...
- it is as easy to get a gun in Belgium as it is in the DR (in Belgium I would not know how to get a gun (and I tried to protect my business), and given the money, I could get one here, yes... illegally, in about 30 minutes...
- because of the involvement of UN-forces, Afghanistan is one of the safest countries on that point... heuhhh?????
Let us just say... my confidence in those kind of statistics took one more blow... and, to get a job in one of those UN-, Government-, Whatever Agencies apparently requires you to be a blithering idiot...
Anyhow... enjoy... and am looking forward to all "educational" and "intelligent" replies... :bunny:
