Are these statistics per capita?

@blueveinedthrobber,
Is this normalized for population?

The US is #1.

Stop trying to normalize us down to average.

@parados,
I don't know about the rest--but the US has the highest incarceration rate per 100,000 in the world (shades of the failed WOD). As far as the Divorces (or Divorve rate) with the UD being #1 and Puerto Rico neing #2, I always thought Puerto Rico was a US colony.

@parados,
Some of these just don't make sense from what I know about the world (if the rankings are calculated per capita).

I'm not anti-American at all. I don't agree particularly with ALL of the practices and stances of the government and Americans in general, but I'm not against them (us), in fact I wish us all well, just the same as I wish any person or community of people well instead of harm.

This just seems like propaganda packaged too simply to make an inflammatory and possibly inaccurate point.

I don't know - I'm asking.

Are you implying the US is a bad influence?

@parados,
Why do you say that?

How about this - I know America has the most Dunkin Donuts and the best iced tea in the world - how come they didn't include that?

@aidan,
Absurdity seems to go over your head -


A: America is #1 in crime
B: I don't think they are (because I love America)
A: Do you hate America so much you don't think they are #1?

I'll tell you what let's not chuckle over this fluff post... let's analyze it to death and squeeze out any humor that might exist in it... because we're surely becoming number one in the world for that bit of business.

Uh duh? Yeah - you guys are number 1 when it comes to humor. Maybe I don't think your fluff post and attempted irony were funny.
Maybe I think accuracy is more important.
Maybe I like to try to separate fact from fiction.
I DO like to learn - this IS Able2know right?
I wanted to KNOW instead of to massage anyone's bigass ego by laughing at WHAT?

But yeah - Americans are the new n***** of the world so say whatever you want and spread your 'funny' fiction.

Ya'll are oh so funny and smart.
And I'll respond however I want to whatever I want.
I'm free.

Are you gonna call me a **** now too?
Chuckle over that!
******* chuckleheads...go live somewhere else if you don't like it.

@aidan,
aidan.

You missed the humor in the picture.

America is # 1 in a lot of bad things for which the response is to chant:

We are #1! We are #1! We are #1!

Or maybe you didn't get the part about McDonalds being a bad thing.

@parados,
The humor is so stupid and lacking that it's not what's important to me.

I want to know what the truth is.

Then go look for the truth.

Don't expect to find it in humor since the purpose of humor is not to highlight truth even though it can use some truths. If humor isn't important to you then you should figure out what humor is so you don't obsess over it when you confuse it with "truthiness".

It all depends on whether you want a fat body to go with your fat head.
