The US - We're Number One!
 

No comment :winkwink:

surprised india and china don't have a few more of those titles as #1

Congrats to the winner?

.

I am sure if you look hard enough there is a #1 list our there with America having something positive that it is leading in as well

and seriously... of course we lead the world in the number of McDonalds... it was founded and built up here :)

Why is Puerto Rico listed as a separate country from USA in the divorce rate column?

Pick a country, any country - they'll all have at least nine embarrassing things they're globally #1 for. Make image. Troll GFY.

More rapes than South Africa? Congrat's !!!

that's becaue everybody is busting their hump to get so they can do whatever the fuck they feel like :thumbsup

Well statistics, something I enjoy, can be manipulated in many ways. For instance, Im sure the US and UK show up higher in the crime rates because we have very good police units, therefore more crime figures reported compared to say India, Mexico, China etc...

Because I can't believe a country like the UK with a pop around 60+ million, will have higher crime rates than Russia etc...

And yes, this list doesnt really show what the US contribute to the world, I mean NASA for a start, has greatly improved the tech world, greatly influencing the modern world we have today, yet many ignorant ppl don't understand how they do.

PS not from the US but appreciate when a country does do something well.

Probably going on reported stats.

is this per capita or?

Mexico #2 for plasic surgery? That surprises me since most of their population lives well below what the rest of N America would consider the poverty line.

For rapes I don't know what surprises me more, that Canada is #3 in the world or that peaceful fun-loving Australia is #4.

Interesting stats. Congrats to the, uh, winner.

I think a lot of this is America has better reporting on crime rates than most, Mexico has the number of plastic surgeries because of US citizens going down there.
I like that it said total crimes, I mean we just have more people, so yes more crimes

Mostly wrong info but funny :thumbsup

probably based on 1:100.000 statistics

Guys on the far side of either thought-train never look hard enough at anything outside of their set beliefs, even if they delude themselves into thinking that they do.

It's not America, it's United States of America.
America is a continent, not a country.

Stupid stats. Really. and who says it's true?
Something better:

USA gives the most vaccines per child; something to be proud of there :winkwink:

Wrong...there is no continent named America.

How is Japan 4 in heart attacks when they have some of lowest heart disease rates in the world?

Hard to believe that the us has more teen births per thousand than Colombia or other countries.

Nice looking stats.

there is 100% no way the US has more crime than mexico. More reported yes. More crime. now way.

Ok I see the reason now. The data is from 2006 and does not include most other countries.

There's a war in Europe! Call in the Canadians!

There's a famine in Africa! Call in the Portuguese!

There's a tsunami in Asia! Call in the Russians!

Humankind should put a man on the moon! Call in the French!

I don't think so.

both that and emissions sound like bullshit to me...

we were in both world wars before you guys were.. so they did call us...first

We are #1 in self esteem.

i think that is not true :winkwink:

In a collective cell membrane any cell larger than the others is called a cancer.
So you know, Ron Paul has the chemo. :)

My opinion on the crime statistics is: Most of it is part of the "War on Drugs" or "War on Citizens" as I call it.

It's the reason we have more "crime" (because we made so many damn things that people enjoy a "crime") and more people in prison than any country in the world.

And we can all feel safer because even right this very second, there are numerous local, state, and federal legislative bodies creating NEW laws. Because the thousands and thousands that they incessantly created for the last couple of hundred years just aren't enough. :(
