November 15, 200619 yr *sigh* Nothing unusual, the nordic countries with their super-liberality and NK at the bottom. And yes, USA's rating sucks compared to even some of the worst human rights offenders in the world. American media is sometimes censored and journalists are denied from writing certain articles, etc. which is not exactly very democratic. An ironic extreme then, compared to North Korea is Finland. Even a schoolkid can have his/her article published in the biggest newspaper of the country given that the article is well written and entertaining. It can criticize anything at all. It is also very interesting that Bosnia/HG has become the most press-liberal country in the Balkan area despite being ravaged by war just over a decade ago.
November 15, 200619 yr 56 United States of America 13,00 Blame Fox "News" :shame: I know the price. I pay it gladly.
November 16, 200619 yr What do the numbers represent? I don't get that part. (Meaning I don't understand the rankings at all)
November 16, 200619 yr 56 United States of America 13,00 Blame Fox "News" :shame: This index has nothing to do with the validity of what is being reported. I've posted this in one or two topics here. There is also an econimcal index, in which the USA is doing a lot better. Ranked #11 or #12. Still could be better.

It wasn't even a decade ago, their capital city, Sarajevo, is still rebuilding from being split. Sweden actually suprises me, I would've thought higher. Finland is no surprise, neither is Norway or Denmark, scratch that, Denmark is kind of surprising. Czech, Slovenia, and Latvia surprise me. Czech is a good country, don't get me wrong, loads better than Slovakia, but it's a former satalite nation, though I will admit, they've rebuilded fast. Slovenia is a nice little country, but just kind of surprising due to the fact it wasn't too long ago part of Yugoslavia. Which makes me think, why isn't Croatia on there? And Latvia, despite its nice location, is, I've recently learned, a very financialy corrupt nation. Me doing staff.
