The following is simply my honest opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.

Every nation has its good points and its bad. If the people of all nations were truly smart, there would be no war, no poverty, no violence, no starvation, no unemployment, etc. Most people (as individuals) can be smart, but human beings (as a species) are basically greedy, stupid, thoughtless, etc.

All nations possess their own inherent form of "smarts". If those in control weren't smart, they wouldn't be in control. They may not be smart in terms of the big picture (what's best for everyone), but they are certainly smart enough to maintain control, tenuous though it may be.

One nation is no smarter than another. It's all a matter of perspective and degree. Superiority in terms of financial stability or technological development or athletic prowess or artistic prevalence is not what makes a nation smart.

ali110: You are right that they are realy doing well but it is also true that smartness is necessary in the games ,if a captain of the team is stupid and makes the wrong decision his team can lose the match on the other side if a captain is smart and setting the good field postions in the ground the team can perform well and win


Well Ali, Just how many of the Pakistan Cricket Team were in trouble for match fixing this year in the tests against England?

Olsojente: I think we've done this before... Norway is one of the least corrupt countries in the world, you managed to read the statistics the wrong way, when you posted about corruption, and Pakistan being on almost top of the list...
"Unfortunately" we have a social security system that actually works...


... My ex in laws went on a cruise up the fjords and absolutely loved every minute of being in Norway. They raved about the people, the cleanliness, the beauty... everything! My ex's great grandfather (Axel) left Norway when he was 15 and sailed here on a schooner, and my first son has his name as his second name. I'd love to visit one day! thumbs up
