UN: The world is (mostly) a better place to live in

The overall message is actually quite positive,” Jeni Klugman, lead author of the report, told journalists. “What we find is that the world is much better off than it was,” including a doubling of incomes in real terms over 40 years.

Once again, Norway — one of the most secular nations — tops the UN Human Development Index rankings. But even outside of Norway things have only gotten better in 40 years. If we look at Norway and other secular countries topping the list — and Phil Zuckerman’s research (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/phil-zuckerman/imagine-no-religion_b_731548.html) — this improvement could be partly thanks to secularism — the same secularism the Vatican is trying to abort.

(The Philippines is ranked 97th, up from 105th last year. You can read more about the Human Development Report here: http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/)

  1. The world is better place for morons , idiots , and criminals and those with negative intelligence. Human are no more born naturally ; they are (grown ; quoted from the script of the movie Matrix) or rather ; they are "raised in flocks" like animals…Nets have taken control in our world making this time the worse in history for humans , those nets are distributing wealth , comfort , and luxuries among idiots , morons and their slaves only, consequently making the world worse for free thinkers , cultured and educated people and anybody who has positive intelligence..
