No quotes to make it easier to read... http://lifestyle9.com/top-10-safest-countries-to-live-in-the-world
-------------------------------------

As natural disasters, terrorism, robberies and massacres made our planet a hell, everyone are in the urge to settle down in one of the safest places. But unfortunately when it comes to preparing a list of top 10 safest countries in the world, it becomes extremely hard to find such countries that satisfy all the criteria an individual has in mind.

So now, how would you picture a safest country? Is that the one which must have:

Low crime rate?
No natural disaster?
Low corruption?
Immunity to economical crisis?
Or is it fast solving cases?

All the above factors are something you would certainly expect from a safe place you wish to settle. But the reality is, not all these factors make it. Out of the entire mentioned factors, crime seems to be making any place unsafe to live. Crime is one of the major reasons for a person to develop anxiety, post-traumatic stress, physical pain, loss of property and so on. After researching a while and keeping all the factors in mind, we the team of lifestyle9 have framed the list of “top 10 safest countries in the world”. We have considered “crime rate” as our prime factor.

Although governments around the world continue to strict their laws towards crime, it is still increasing massively on a daily basis. Often we see it with our own eyes or at least hear it on television news and websites. While high prevalent crimes make some places completely unsafe to live, strict laws, culture and few good qualities continue to make few countries as a perfect place to live, raise kids and happily retire. These countries have zero or at least low crime rate. Yeah, we have exceptions in everything. That’s the universal law.

You're looking for www.news24.co.za with a comment like that :D

I checked costs to immigrate to Australia this morning. Got a bit of a shock. 50K + just to check if you are allowed to move to another country.

If you consider the average person in South Africa: then I would agree. However if you are lucky enough to be wealthy then I would say the standard of living is quite high (comparable to the wealthy in first world countries).

Um... we are 115 on the list. How is this bad ?

Some would have you believe we are no1 on that list...



They say Kenya is safer but they need to update. They currently have a travel warning against their name... not a good idea to settle there anytime soon.

Also that top 10.... LOL

+1.
If you take ALL of the variables into account, then it would paint a different picture. Even the article states it

All the above factors are something you would certainly expect from a safe place you wish to settle. But the reality is, not all these factors make it.

I would have thought Iceland, Greenland will be on top of the list.
While we're at it why not Antarctica with its population of ±1000?

Wow...sad state of affairs.

Indeed. From the subject, which should read "Top 10 most safe countries in the world in which to settle." to the numerous other grammar errors...

"everyone are in the urge"
"Is that the one which must have"
"Immunity to economical crisis?"
"Or is it fast solving cases?" - I assume "Solves criminal cases quickly"
"from a safe place in which you wish to settle"
"Out of the entire mentioned factors, crime seems to be making any place unsafe to live" - WTF does this mean?
"continue to restrict their laws"

If the "the team of lifestyle9" are barely literate, I doubt we can trust their maths skills.
