Just look and enjoy.

People in Laos live 20 years less but have 3x more chance of getting a job

He's being sprayed with AIDS right now, hence the expression.

If you live in Ireland instead of United States:

You would have 1.95% more babies

You would spend 53% less on Health care

Live 0.17% years longer

lol

Wow, Germany makes the US look pretty shitty.

great way to compare superficial unsourced statistics!

Apparently if I lived in sweden I would make 20.69% less money. Being that I work for just above minimum wage in the Midwest, I find that hard to believe.

If The United States were your home instead of Sweden you would...

have 2.2 times higher chance of dying in infancy

experience 95.65% more of a class divide

consume 62.13% more oil

spend 2.1 times more money on health care

be 6 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS

have 36.39% more babies

make 26.09% more money

use 15.78% less electricity

die 2.73 years sooner

If Afghanistan were your home instead of Belgium you would... Spend 97.19% less money on healthcare = Totally thumbs-up awesome! Nothing wrong with Afghanistan where you die 34.72 years sooner!

Now reverse it, Sweden instead of US... the numbers aren't the same. Why?

All stats I saw were sourced from the CIA World Factbook

These are just macroeconomic aggregate stats - so individual experiences will vary wildly.

24ourange might for example, work for a good company which pays his/her entire health insurance coverage and thus not have to worry about that (btw your outraged nationalism is sooooo cute). That doesn't mean that all individuals in the US have access to that kind of health care coverage (and studies have been exhaustively done showing that the US pay a lot and get very little in return when it comes to health care).

If halisray weren't living in Montreal, his/her chance of getting the bad AIDS would be much lower. (I kid, I'm sure the AIDS in Montreal i no worse than the AIDS in Vancouver). The AIDS stats here: http://hiv-statistics.findthebest.com/compare/128-150/United-Kingdom-of-Great-Britain-and-Northern-Ireland-vs-Canada seem to indicate that the percentage chance of having aids in Canada is 76% more likely (although I've probably fucked up the math).

These are just averages, and while the data seems to be fairly well sourced, it's important to remember that your situation in each country will depend on many variables.

LOL the us gets owned by every western country. right in the ass

tho to my surprise I would consume 8% less oil in the US

consume less oil WTF I'm SHOCKED

its called FOR FUN.

lets say you make 100 bucks in the US and 80 bucks in Sweden.

so you make 20% less ( 100 - 20% of 100 = 80) if you move to Sweden

and 25% more (80 + 25% of 80 = 100) if you move to the US

so the numbers in % change but the difference is still the same

lol first grade math lessons ftw

I know it's for fun, I'm just doing some splaining to people who might not understand the concepts behind it.

If Barbados were my home instead of The United Kingdom I would...

be 6 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS

have 2.5 times higher chance of dying in infancy

make 47.44% less money

use 41.69% less electricity

have 33.75% more chance of being unemployed **BOLLOCKS**

spend 57.09% less money on health care **hmmmmmm, really?**

die 5.02 years sooner

have 16.49% more babies

consume 12.92% more oil

Didn't bother doing any math, just assumed that they should be reversible.

If Spain were your home instead of The United States you would...

have 94.62% more chance of being unemployed

Apparently I would spend 98.87% less income on health care in Ghana. I think I know why!

Regardless of the accuracy of this, this has reminded me once again of the many reasons I would rather be living in the UK or Australia.

Man, fuck the US. Right in the eye.
