neferti - that's a surprising list.
new zealand is a very violent place, I used to live there.



I didn't post the original list, Sprint.   Smiley This sort of World List comes out every so often, whether it is the best place to live, the country people would like to visit most, etc.  I've seen lists where the Americans vote New Zealand as the number 1 country they want to visit.  Even the Poms seem to vote for NZ over Oz as the place they would want to live in.  Grin

Then, any Kiwi  worth their salt, already lives in Oz.  Tongue

The UN study named Scotland as the most violent place, with 3% of its population involved in some type of violent crime, the US was second on 1.5%, I am sure that a lot of countries wouldnt keep statistics like that and others that did may not have wanted to share.

Glasgow is renown for the Glasgow Kiss (head butts)... they have "chavs" over there, young men roaming the streets of Glasgow, unemployed masses, who roam the streets with nothing better to do, I gather.  I am sure there are pockets if this type of person in all countries.  Edinburgh (the Capital of Scotland), on the other hand, is a much more "refined" city.  Wink

If you don't reckon Aussie is prob the best country in the world, try any other country at all.

I read somewhere that Adelaide has the highest rate of violent crime per capita in Australia, which surprised me, because I thought Sydney or Melbourne (Underbelly central) would win hands down.
