The Phillipines and Nicaragua aren't bad places to live I don't think. Hardly world leaders but the standard of living is hardly third world.

I'm still not sure what links all the countries in list two. They're all reasonably poor, some have had civil wars recently (not all), some have dictators (again not all), some are communist or ex-communist nations (not all), most of them are quite near the equator and in tropical zones... I dunno. Something relatively obscure I guess.

List one: Rich, mostly Christian.

List two: Poor, mostly anti-American.

Finally, the obvious is revealed. The countries mostly run by and mostly inhabited by a high percentage of caucasions are world leaders. They are safer, richer, more educated, more industrialized, more civilized and just more advanced in general

The mostly non caucasian countries are 100s and in alot of cases 1000s of years behind.

If you want to break it down further and look at mostly caucasion states in the US vs states with a higher population of non caucasions, you get the same result. Lower crime, higher education (which of course go hand in hand). Facts dont lie.

LOL

Is that actually supposed to mean anything, Ice? What conclusions do you draw from this, other than that Europe (then the US and Australasia) developed intensive agriculture and industry first - well someone had to be first, didn't they?

And in terms of the US - well, we all know how much racism and legalised, instituitionalised anti-black discrimination you had until relatively recently, so it's totally f[]cking obvious to anyone that those States with a high proportion of blacks are going to be the poorest, becaue whites still earn far more on average.

Horrid.
