Re: Comments?
Dunno why the dude placed the us so highy up on the life expectancy chart because us is on ranks 36 th on the life expectancy per country list Slovenia falls a bit behind on 40eth place.
The bottom chart shows to my best guess average income per person, usually a deceiving number some countries rank high on average income per person tough the majority is broke and only a few have such a high income that it raises the countries average so high. in my opinion not a very good thing to use in such a graph.
depending on the survey
International Monetary Fund, nr 1 is Luxembourg US is on nr nine Luxembourg tops te US by double the income so freaking fare away on that graph from the us
CIA World Factbook, Quatar is in place nr 1 with 3 times as much frigging fare away from Luxembourg not to mention the US us is on the 10th place
World Bank, Monaco leads with 4 times as much as the us frigging far away on that graph us is ont the 10th place
Luxembourg is also on the 30eht place at the life expectancy chart so a way better score al together then the us, quatar is not on that life expectancy chart that includes the US tough their life expectancy is roughly the same as the us so it would haveto be at the same hight and wayyyyy to the right, Monaco's life expectancy ranks on 14teenth place on the same chart where the us ranks at 36 place so it would haveto be higher on the chart and frigging fare to the right
And these are only the top countries i looked at there are allot more places on those charts between them and the US.
This graph is incomplete and it gives the delusion that the us is the best country in the world to live in.

Frako, all that the graph shows is our(U.S. position as a whole relative to other Countries as a whole.) It does not reflect individual achievement.
Look at the graph once again the vertical axis represents average lifespan, the horizontal axises represents average income.
but what insures that your money will remain stable?
Every country member of the EU
What power keeps Slovenija safe?
No one can find it on the map of the world , nato pact, eu, and the slovenian mentality you mess with one of us you mess with all 2 million of us
ranting about unemployment and low wages abroad.
Well yea the recession hit us hard unemployment is up to 10% tough not the educated ones mostly those whiteout education or low education our calcification the hard to employ people
Nobody ever told me that capitalism could be so harsh! I suppose that there are no guarantees in life, however.
Yea capitalism sucks for the majority, its grate for people like me tough. If i had a vote back then when we split from Yugoslavia i would have voted to split but no change to capitalism.
As for the recession we all know ho started that u Americans, and the idiots who thought that a country that is in debt is a good thing.
, will have to scramble and work harder
well the way i understand it u Americans already work to hard, we have a limit on how much time you can spend at the workplace and heavy fines for the ones who try to slave drive their workers. 40 hrs a weak max and a max of 20 hrs overtime a month, and max of 180 hrs overtime a year. You dont live to work you work to live.

No, it's a world we inheritied, that was created by fallible people over hundreds (in America's case) or thousands of years, each glomming more sludge ontop of an already sludge-filled sundae.
{AbE} WHen your choices come down to "the better of two evils" can you really say the world is as we want it?
Well siting behind the computer crying about it does not realy help to change things.
A few days back the goverment in slovenija tried to pull a fast one on small buisneses so we ganged up together and threatend to pull all our money from the bakns it got them to listen real quick
when the goverment tried to pull a fast one on the truckers they blocked the highways with their trucks it got the goverment to listen
if you want change or in my 2 points dont want that kind of change you haveto fight for it, the ones you elect dont give a rats ass about your needs as long as their promises are enough to get you to vote.

Re: Ignorance is no excuse
I find it amazing when folk do such stupid things and then get surprised by the results.
Lol we have just as a stuipd goverment asthis guy then. Basicly some new guys camein to power before the recesion and i dunno if its their lack of experience or pure stupidnes. Basicly we had few reforms that would actualy help the economy to fight the recession that would in turn generate more profit and more tax for the state the idiots tried to go a noter route they tried to tax us more to fill the loss in taxes, They did not suseed as well as they hoped so they where forced to tax the rich more. Thighs likelonger boats, more then one house and new houses where taxed a bit more so basycly me , now their scratching their heads why our economy is recovering more slowly then moste others we only had a 2% increase in GDP last year to our usual, cca 5% growth.
I think the gratest problem in politics is that people get elected who do not know what they are doing, and the advisorsthey take on tend to be their family or friends who usualy do not know alot too.
I think countries would be much better if say an economic minister could only be someone with a background in economy and at least 5 years experience in the field either as a professor or maneger, as for the other nitwits that get elected they should at least have a MA (dunno the english word uncle google said it was MA), and some experience in their feilds.
