Not surprising, although I thought South Africa topped the list for Rape.

Maternal mortality is on the rise, too.

I give thanks for the fact that I live in Australia. However, I give thanks to the US for their super cheap shopping. ;)
 
USA #1- CO2 Emissions?? I thought it was China being number 1.

I am not surprised about Germany being number #2- Heart Attack. I have several German relatives who have heart problems..

Blame it on bratwurst, liverwurst, butter, sausage, bread rolls, and.. beers.

I had to quit eating bratwurst and liverwurst years ago. It is not easy to gaze at liverwurst when I shop at a market.

Can you please provide the source for this? I would like to know how these rankings were determined.

It's a humourous Internet meme I found on Facebook. I was going to post it in the Jokes section, but figured the picture is too political and is better in this subforum.
 
I can tell you this is not a joke and that the USA is No.1 as shown. That is because of accounting. While in American rape is way under-reported, we are serious enough to report as much as possible but a place, South Africa, does as much as possible to hide theirs. Here we have a system of excellent (but not perfect) data reporting...others have none or are lacking.

I love bratwurst! No worry, I eat it once a month.

Also most German live at north area of USA.

Me, too. I found it in We're #1
but it doesn't say how they came by those figures.

Don't know about the CO2 emissions, but the crime statistics have been supported through several sources. Criminology and sociology are two fields that have done research into this. Anytime the effectiveness of our penal system is discussed, these statistics are used to show that it isn't very effective at all.
 
This also assumes everything has been reported. I agree with rolling7. I've personally been to South Africa and in the townships, it's normal and common for women to get raped several times throughout their lives. I'm willing to bet that most of them are not reported at all.

Not everything gets reported for the U.S. statistics, either. In fact, rape is the most underreported crime in the U.S.

I'm not surprised. And I'm sure that happens to other countries too.

Sad.
