Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand

EDIT: Except for the mining towns in WA, which are generally safe if you don't be an idiot.

no where. most people would find it disturbing to know just how many people die in their bathroom each year. Its pretty much the most dangerous place in an average person's life.

Taking over the US wouldnt be too hard.
*wait until poverty gets bad enough and causes even more violence*
*send in your army while Americans are killing eachother*

I wouldnt consider America safe at all. Too easy to get guns, I much prefer restricting guns so not every drunken [censored] has one.


Edit: Australia seriously ?

Sydney funnel webs alone, make that place hell on earth. Didnt it also manage to be half flooded, while the other half was on fire recently ?
I wouldnt even visit Australia on holiday, way to many things that want me dead, and usually have the poison to do the job. (in horribley painful ways).

You see, we have this ingenious system where people live in these things called HOUSES, these venomous creatures can not get a mortgage and as such aren't often encountered.

And the chances of getting killed by a poisonous snake are rare, and as for Sydney Funnel webs, the fact they are named after a city should make it pretty clear they aren't a widespread problem.
Unlike bears and wolves, Australias predators 9 times out of 10 either accidentally kill or only do it out of self defence, they don't actually want to eat you. Unless you actually go around in the bush trying to find these dangerous animals you aren't likely to get killed, and other than baby taipans I can't think of anything that you couldn't get antivenom for before dying.

Not to mention the flooding was about 8% of Queensland, and was flooded a few years after the bushfires in Victoria.

any one can kill any one else with their bare hands, all they need is to know where to put them. Historically societies have tried to restrict weapons: Japan making it illegal to own a sword. now many other places doing the same with guns.

Statisticly the weapon humans have used to kill each other with the most are sticks and stones, had done so for tens of thousands of years until relatively recently. People will always kill each other.

now some one que the intro to FO3

So the most likely places in the world to get bombed with nukes are the safest? Speaking of funny standards.

Australia? With all the poisonous stuff out to kill you? No thanks!

I think I'm pretty well off where I am, though mostly any place in northern Europe will do.

Western countries.

Beating someone to death is much harder than just shooting him. The point in gun control is not to outlaw violence forever, but to make harming people (more) difficult.

RRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGEEEEE!!!

there are several times more venomous spiders in the pacific northwest of america than in the entirety of australia. and thats not counting the flesh eating viruses, snakes, and the common cold.

also. as i recall the american south, mainly the gulf coast. was/is mostly a malaria (and other diseases) plagued watery wasteland.

beating some one to death is niether subtle or effective. crushing the wind pipe takes only about 7 seconds and requires no more strength than a firm handshake. Also, harming people will always be easy, the world is a weapon. Even if you got your hands tied behind your back you can always hurt some ones feelings.

Even so, Australia is a politically stable country with the infrastructure to cope with the problem.

but i was pointing out that australia is not nearly as dangerous as people think it is regarding spiders and nasty venomous things.

I think the most dangerous thing about australia is probably getting lost some where on the mainland away from the coast.

I know, I was justadding that even if it was it is far more capable of curing someone who got bitten than, say, Brazil.

Are we talking about physical safety or economic safety? Those aren't necessarily the same. Judging from responses, I'm guessing the former.

Correct. However, I fail to see how this does not mean gun control is a good thing. Even if we could think each other to death the world is a better place when one artifact of destruction is taking away from the gullible masses.

OOPS!

no. because there are two reasons to die by a weapon. intent and accident. people with the intent will find away with out a specific weapon. accidents happen and people die regardless of what you restrict. Death is in no uncertain terms escapeable. im not saying yay or nay for gun control. im saying its irrelevant either way and more or less rejecting a delusion that it makes me safer.

Fear of death is a disease that makes people jump at shadows, wasting resources and time to combat a threat they can't escape.

Unlike the ham-fisted attempts with Katrina and the oil-spill disaster

Antarctica. Penguins are more trustworthy than people.

But you would have to murder them to survive.

Sorry.

Australia has a whole bunch more of them than Europe in any case, so I'll happily stay where I'm at.

Crushing someone's windpipe is still a lot more difficult than just shooting someone, with people fighting back and all that. Unless the windpipe-crusher in question is some super ninja, krav maga expert I guess.

Isn't Antartica full of Scientists?

Well, seeing as you introduced wild boar to our ecosystem I think we are entitled to select a species to introduce to yours

But it's too cold here for any dangerous poisonous stuff to survive... Right...?

Anyway, I'd very much prefer to be mauled to death by a bear or die fighting of a pack of wolves with my bare hands to being killed by some tiny critter that I've never even seen. But, since we killed all our bears and wolves centuries ago I feel quite confident saying that I live in one of the safest places in the world.

unless your buying a rifle (in america) you must wait several days before actually taking the gun from the store to potentially murder some one.

crushing a windpipe is as i said, like giving some ones neck a firm handshake, they can fight back all they want but they won't be able to do much with less than ten seconds. It takes guts more than any thing i suppose. still cheaper and faster if you ask me, only disadvantage is that its not stealthy.

And bathrooms are still more to blame for deaths that weapon related violence.
