hmm 979 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The title is simply a fact taken from the article It's up to the individual to accept it or not. That doesn't mean start bashing other countries though. The title is a quote, which itself is a generalisation taken from a list of statistics in an article. GDP per capita wouldn't be the only measurement of poverty so there's no reason to accept it. Maybe the author just doesn't have a good grasp of what he's talking about though, hence his aside insults at the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas 1 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You posted an article, and people are posting their thoughts and reactions. If what people are saying was nothing to do with the comments, then no one would've said what they did you're just pressed that not everyone is bashing the UK face it, the USA is decaying Still, that doesn't mean the UK is rising Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 52,864 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Still, that doesn't mean the UK is rising fact... Almost all developed Nations are decaying. Emerging markets are the ones rising And no i dont count the economic recovery that beggining to accelerate and maybe last another 3 years as "rising" Over the long term the middle class has been shrinking, taken a beating, Government Debt increasing etc in almost all developed Nations. Face it, 1st world is full of failures :coffee: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,776 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 PPL are quibbling over subjective numbers First of all depending on whos making the rankings and collecting the information the rankings will vary Secondly, these numbers dont represent which places are truly most prosperous. Exchange rate fluctuations alone will change rankings from 1 month to another.... Thirdly the cost of living in each country is not always proportional to wages. And they probably dont include how many free services each Country offers its citizens when calculating purchasing power These numbers can be presented in too many ways to make a huge deal over Why did the OP ignore the best reply in the whole thread? Anyways, I've noticed that every single time somebody has a good argument against the OP, the OP will come with: 'stop being off-topic' (random insult to show how mature he is) *OP ignores post completely* 'ok good for you' Still, that doesn't mean the UK is rising But it is the UK and all other West-European countries are rising in PPP at a much higher rate than the US except for the upper class.

Face it, 1st world is full of failures I think that Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, Scandinavia and Switzerland will stay growing and eventually become much more prosperous than the rest of the world. These countries have amazing education, which will really benefit them long-term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
