Seven Deadly Sins

[Wikkelspies]

Australians have come out on top as the world's most envious people in a tally of the seven deadly sins.

BBC magazine Focus found Australians also scored highly for the other six sins, making Australia the 'most sinful' country on Earth.

"Sin-prone" Australia was followed by the US, Canada, Finland and Spain.

Researchers used a points system to determine which countries committed the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride), the most.

The tally compared national statistics for plastic surgery (pride), theft (envy), violent crime (wrath), number of annual holidays (sloth), annual salary (greed), money spent on fast food (gluttony) and porn (lust).

Australians ranked first for envy and third for lust and gluttony.

Despite a fondness for the occasional sickie, sloth was was identified as the sin Australians were least likely to commit, with eight other countries considered lazier.

Six nationalities were considered more wrathful and three more greedy or proud.

Highest in each of the sin categories were the

US (gluttony),

Mexico (greed),

South Korea (lust),

Iceland (sloth and pride),

Australia (envy) and

South Africa (wrath). :twisted:

whoa!
I thought we'd win!

1) Sloth - We got more pubic holidays than any other country... and 15 days annual leave instead of US's 10.
2) Envy - C'mon... we're right up there! check with insurers and re-insurers.
3) Wrath - we won hands down...

I really thought we'd do better at this guys!
TRY HARDER! We can't let those blerry Ausies beat us at EVERYTHING!
