[Cdub100 3,417]

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/safest-countries-2020-scli-intl/index.html

 

They are Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Slovenia, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

I wonder what makes those countries so safe...? Also, weird Swedenstan isn't on this list.

I’m noticing a trend....

I wonder where Sweden was ranked in 2000 or 2010.

Syria

Afghanistan

South Sudan

Iraq

Somalia

Yemen

Libya

Democratic Republic of Congo

Central African Republic

Russia

 

[Gladiators 1,906]

High in socialism

Democratic socialism?

Hmmmm...no I don’t think that’s quite it.  Not sure though I just can’t put my finger on it.

[Hawkeye21 1,874]

Most of those countries look to be very liberal.  Luxembourg is the only one that's not listed in the top 10 most liberal countries.  Doesn't sound like any places where you guys would want to live.

Maybe... But we are talking about safety not political leaning government's so I don't think that's it. 

Safe, hmmm maybe it's something they are missing. I wonder what the fried chicken shop ratio is. Maybe that has something to do with it.

The entire US is yellow - low risk.

Seems odd, with the millions and millions of illegal immigrants raping and killing everyone...

That can't be it. The vast majority of our cities are extremely liberal and the are infested with crime.

It has to be something else. Hmmmm I just can't figure it out.

It’s actually the ones we let in legally who are a bigger problem

Good point thankfully the illegals that are doing the raping and pillaging are in and around cities.

I wonder if the areas that are low risk in the US have anything in common with those other countries? Weird.

It is though.  Go ahead and look it up.  Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Slovenia, and Switzerland are all at the top for most liberal and progressive countries.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Switzerland and that whole area is so great. I see pictures and it’s clean and beautiful. There’s def a trend...let’s just say it’s not as dark outside as other places. Forget visit, I’d love to live there.

Take a “certain element” out of the stats for the USA and the safety numbers skyrocket across the board.

I believe you. It's just not what we see in our liberal cities. So if it's not a political philosophy it must be something else.

I know what you're getting at.  It just made me laugh a little that every country you listed but one is considered one of the top liberal countries in the world and you guys are always complaining about everything liberal.

It's a lot easier to be liberal with lots of social programs when you don't have lots of people abusing the system. People who work to get out of the safety net opposed to living in it.

That is very true.  They definitely know how to work within that system much better than the US.

Why do people feel the need to defend illegal immigrants, as a whole? What's the reasoning behind that? 

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,615]

Switzerland requires every citizen to own a firearm. That’s not very liberal. It’s also impossible to immigrate there not to mention illegally. There are also no Popeyes 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Sweden is liberal, and for some reason it is surrounded by most safe countries while not being one. 

[taco breath 419]

gun control laws perhaps?

In the context of this thread, what are the main attributes that make the countries "progressive".

[Fireballer 2,401]

Interesting...

Switzerland hasn't had a mass shooting since 2001, when a man stormed the local parliament in Zug, killing 14 people and then himself.

The country has about 2 million privately owned guns in a nation of 8.3 million people. In 2016, the country had 47 attempted homicides with firearms. The country's overall murder rate is near zero.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,792]

If our immigration policy is racist, what's theirs? It sure ain't liberal.

Switzerland has mandatory military service and there are armed soldiers pretty much anywhere you go. They act like an informal police force. As of 15 or so years ago when I was there they also had a minimum wage of an equivalent of $27/hour or so. The poverty rate there is much lower than here even with a higher poverty line.

Switzerland has a population of 8.5 milllion. Almost everyone is Swiss. Can we stop now?

Yep.  And it proves that gun violence is, well, peoples fault.    But please keep fighting the 2A libtards.

They're also the countries with the highest percentage of white people.

To expand on this a bit...

• Demark - 86.9% are "Danish"... hence, "White"
• Finland - 94.3% are either "Finnish" or "Sweedish"... hence, "White".
• Iceland - 94% are "Icelandic"... hence, at least 94% "White".
• Norway - 83.2% "Norwegian", 8.5% "European", and the rest is "Other"... hence, probably about 90% "White".
• Slovenia - Approximately 96% are either natives of Slovenia or Yugoslavia.  Hence, at least 95% "White".
• Switzerland - Population demographic is German 65%, French 18%, Italian 10%, Romansch 1... meaning, approximately 94% "White".

Norway has a pension that has passed $1 trillion ($200,000 per citizen) this week to take care of future generations of Norwegians.  Must be nice.
