Peace Index released. US 82#. FOX surprised

[Triple A]

I was wondering arround the webzx and found this:

An Australian organization called the Institute for Economics and Peace has released its annual "Global Peace Index." And it doesn't fare so well for the United States. Iceland is the "most peaceful" (okay, maybe) country and Somalia is the "least peaceful" (I get it). And the good ol USA? We rank #82. That puts us below Egypt (major killings and internal conflict anyone?). We barely beat out....Bangladesh which weighs in at #83. Cuba does better than we do...as does Laos, Vietnam, China, and Sierra Leone.



America is engaged in 3 wars but for Fox News should be one of the most peacefull countries, above countries in peace.

I share my laughs with you.

How is Cuba violent, in any way, at all?

Oh God did any of you see the thread. Its absolutely hilarious. Its all about how Soros is funding these organizations to overthrow America.

Some highlights


An Australian Company, in NY funded by Soros and lists really great terrorist nations as peaceful - Did I miss something ???? Vietnam I can see as legit but the Muzzos - come onAlso what are Muzzos? Is it a thinly veiled insult at Muslims?


Imagine my surprise to discover that SOROS is behind the funding for this Org.
You shouldn't. Soros is a master manipulator. He dumped $800 m worth of gold to shake the world market in an attempt to break America. Follow Glenn Beck, he's pretty accurate on Soros activities.Is the gold thing actually true. Not for the break America reason, but did he actually do that? It makes me wonder why Americans think that a billionaire is attempting to destroy capitalism. And if he is destroying America he's not alone, and is accompanied by other billionaires.


To hell with the Institute for Economics and Peace. They want America to be peaceful, stop attacking us:laugh:. What a bunch of dolts.


Want the terrorists to be peaceful? Stop attacking them.

In some of these 3rd world countries, Military trucks come by at sun up an pickup the dead that wee placed out on the curb the night before.
This is the liberal vison for America.

Don't forget that they're trying to take your guns away.


If we let dictators rule the world and stay out of it we will be peaceful, right?
Or we coild k ill mussies like they k ill Christians in Egypt?Sectarian dick waving


We are the worlds police department when they need us we come in and than leave so I guess that makes us cruel and unjust. Polls are like a**holes everybody has one.

Why would this surprise anyone? In terms of peace towards other countries right now the US is dead last.

To hell with the Institute for Economics and Peace. They want America to be peaceful, stop attacking us. What a bunch of dolts.

I don't recall either Libya OR Iraq attacking the US.
