But at the end of the day.. Money is the issue.. naa man unta tah pero government officials ra ang nabulahan..

Not surprisingly, guess what county you failed to mention and is 87th and ranked below China? The name starts with the 16th letter of the English alphabet.



Here is a link to another "ranking" for you from Reader's Digest: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13452608/from/ET/

that's right, namnori. it's not surprising at all...this is a third-world country, remember?

at the end of the day, home is where your heart is.

I apologize. I didn't mean "not surprisingly" towards the philippines being ranked 87th. I meant "not surprisingly" towards the Philippines never being mentioned in his post.

Like I said before: Propaganda pushers are like that. Like the Russians during the Cold War Period, sports headlines read in their newspapers: "Russia finishes in second place, USA finishes third from last". Fact was, there were only three teams in the competion, so the U.S. really finished first.

^ i believe his post was lifted from that readers' digest article. i guess writers dont care much about mentioning the philippines. heck, a lot of people dont even know where the phlippines is.

Well, I am not sure that the article had the same title as this thread.

Anyway, here is a link to the complete list: http://www.rd.com/content/best-places-to-live-green/

Nordic countries take the greatest care of their environment and their people, according to a ranking published on Thursday by the publication Reader's Digest.

Finland comes top of the 141-nation list, followed by Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and then Austria, Switzerland, Ireland and Australia.

At the bottom of the list is Ethiopia, preceded by Niger, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso and Chad.

The United States comes in 23rd, China 84th and India 104th.

The ranking combines environmental factors, such as air and water quality, respect for biodiversity and greenhouse-gas emissions, as well as social factors, such as gross domestic product, access to education, unemployment rate and life expectancy.

The statistical basis is the UN's Human Development Index and the Environmental Sustainability Index drawn up by Yale and Columbia universities and the World Economic Forum.

European countries -- again, led by Scandinavia -- also top the Reader's Digest assessment of 72 cities for their quality of life. The criteria for this include public transport, parks, air quality, rubbish recycling and the price of electricity.

The winner is Stockholm, followed by Oslo, Munich and Paris.

Asia's mega-cities fare the worst. At the bottom is Beijing, preceded by Shanghai, Mumbai, Guangzhou and Bangkok.

who says america is the best place to live?

im currently living in finland and trust me, they deserve to be on the top of the list. the entire country itself looks like a park. so green and lush which also makes the air fresher and cleaner.

Probably more white than green during those 6 months when the temperature barely goes above the freezing mark. But I'll bet it's great that month where you can take your jacket off... heheh. The clean air would be nice though and I love ice hockey.
