    What are your comments about this? UK is on number 21. And Phils is not included.
    Thanks.

    Well, the UK, I am shocked it's so low to be honest.

    As for the Philippines, it's no shock that it's a developing/underdeveloped country! Otherwise Known As = Third World!

    Yes i was shocked as well UK in #21. Phils belongs to the 3rd world country thus under the category of underdeveloped hence it is developing?.. I have to make a research on this. not so sure...

    Wow Ireland on # 5!!

    I did watched news before about Norway. Their prison cells has a capacity of a certain number only so if there are new prisoners they have to wait in their homes until a vacancy..lol. They don't want to have an over crowded prison cells. So people that are convicted of major crimes are just roaming around town and have a normal life but of course they are being watched by authorities. I wonder why are they on top of the list? wowow....Based on the three HDI combined dimensions
    " The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
    They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
