With the exception of Sweden, something is missing from every group photo.

A bunch of bloodsucking Socialist regimes who have all abdicated their responsibilities to preserve Freedom, relying on Uncle Sam to provide for their defense. They're masters at internalization of resources and externalization of expenses.

They all grew to economic strength under the shelter of our nuclear umbrella and since the demise of the Soviet Union they have been content to enjoy continued security at our expense.

It's time for them to grow up and assume real responsibility for world affairs.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I didn’t see Honduras on the list. I know people who have retired there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gP4PN6xGWA

Sorry, I prefer the USA to all of them. None of them would stand in the face of a full out assault from a united Arab world, nor a Chinese invasion.

What is with the scripts on the Forbes site? It took nearly 3 minutes to load the article, and that was after OK-ing the disabling of the script. I didn’t even bother trying to follow the “hit whore” (make us give them a new hit for every item in a list) article because of the delays in loading pages from there.

This happens on my desktop, laptop, e-reader and all 4 of my work ‘puters, so it cannot be “just me”, or a problem with my machine, since it happens on hard wired adsl, T1, cable, and wireless to boot

“I didn’t see Honduras on the list.”

I spent 4 days in San Pedro Sula last year - are you aware that it’s the murder capital of the world. While I was there (staying in a Hilton hotel), I heard some loud booms, went to sleep, then walked down the street the following day. A billboard across the street had multiple holes in it from the shotgun blasts.

Retire there? Not on YOUR life, certainly not on my life.

Homeschooling is forbidden. If the state owns the children, how is it limited? The Netherlands with its involuntary euthanasia had no business on the list either. Homeschooling is pretty much forbidden in Sweden, as well.

“Roatan is out of the crime zone I’ve heard.”

Whenever I’ve gone to another country, I’ve favored going to the country where the actual people are, not to a resort. Why go to another country if you really want to go to a foreign version of America, sort of like going to Jamaica but staying the entire time in a beach resort run by an American corporation that allows no natives (save workers) to enter. Yes, you get the stamp in your passport, but have you really been to Jamaica? From my POV, no.

If it’s “responsible” to allow unlimited access to your country by lunatic, murderous a**holes, I don’t think I want to live in that wunnerful utopian hellhole!

Responsible government?

The ultimate oxymoron.

Case closed.

Interesting how Islam has rocked Scandinavia - rape and other violent crimes by muslims against the ‘native women’ run rampant — they aren’t allowed to call out the Evil of Islam under penalty of hate crime prosecution.

Neither Sweden nor Austria relied on Uncle Sam. Both are neutral nations.
