Nope not even close.

Please show us your statistics and the links?

Here are a couple. Look at gun deaths by % of population.

What country do you believe is the most dangerous in the world? [View all] L0oniX Feb 2014 OP

Most dangerous? hughee99 Feb 2014 #1

Take your choise. To banksters Iceland is the most dangerous IMO. L0oniX Feb 2014 #2

My answers are different for the two questions. hughee99 Feb 2014 #4

Disagree... Adrahil Feb 2014 #7

Well considering the gun deaths here you could say USA for both. L0oniX Feb 2014 #12

Really, is the US the country with the MOST per capita gun deaths? hughee99 Feb 2014 #16

You wouldn't think that by all the gun death news posted on DU IMO. L0oniX Feb 2014 #18

The incarceration rate percentage is not about guns. proudretiredvet Feb 2014 #30

Just one of many stats. L0oniX Feb 2014 #35

Most gun deaths?? proudretiredvet Feb 2014 #42

Those supposed stats are just suggestions as to what perspective the danger may be coming from. L0oniX Feb 2014 #43

Not at all I do like honest and ethical discussion. proudretiredvet Feb 2014 #51

There are applicable facts for a location that are not facts for other locations. L0oniX Feb 2014 #55

Got it. proudretiredvet Feb 2014 #82

Obviously you are not worth responding too ...welcome to my ignore list. L0oniX Feb 2014 #88

How can there be any doubt? RC Feb 2014 #3

Weren't we told once upon a time that Marksists (from Freedonia) were the worst? L0oniX Feb 2014 #8

A proud member of the worst. RC Feb 2014 #14

No China option? Adrahil Feb 2014 #5

Subjective. Those living near a fracking site may have other opinions. L0oniX Feb 2014 #10

So Wal-mart dictates Chinese environmental law? Adrahil Feb 2014 #13

Consumers dictate IMO. L0oniX Feb 2014 #17

That's why regulations exist! Adrahil Feb 2014 #21

That's my choice Auggie Feb 2014 #27

or what about India? hfojvt Feb 2014 #57

Wow, what obvious flame bait....and you didn't even include China? MADem Feb 2014 #6

Sylvania is a horrible country Gman Feb 2014 #9

They are forced to work 18 hours a day 8 days a week making light bulbs! L0oniX Feb 2014 #15

Just accidentally forget China? Rex Feb 2014 #20

Why? The protests are very limited seattledo Feb 2014 #67

You're wrong there... truebluegreen Feb 2014 #75

Wow, I did not know that and feel better now. Rex Feb 2014 #80

My pleasure. nt truebluegreen Feb 2014 #84

The weapons they don't have? seattledo Feb 2014 #81

Unable to answer as the question is too vague. Define "dangerous" first as there are too many uppityperson Feb 2014 #22

DU polls are limited. The DU complaint dept is on the 13th floor. L0oniX Feb 2014 #24

But there is lots of room in the message text area of a Poll's OP to define the terms. uppityperson Feb 2014 #25

But if all one wants to do is give the old wooden spoon a workout, who needs defined terms? MADem Feb 2014 #60

The question was "*is* the most dangerous", not "*was* the most dangerous". Nye Bevan Feb 2014 #69

A track record does have implications for today. L0oniX Feb 2014 #72
