It doesn't matter whether you are George Bush, Pele or Chuck Norris, you are not safe in Iraq

Yes, but safe is boring. Most of the "safe countries" if there are any aat all, ceep a watch on everyone and are usually small

War, famine, no government and poverty makes Somalia the most dangerous country. You will die if you go there. Trust me!

Another way to kill yourself is to travel to Somalia. You will be killed few days after you arrived.

War and famine makes Somalia the most dangerous country. It's really bad there

HOW ON EARTH IS THE USA THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE TO LIVE IN! Don't come here saying the country is vulnerably to terrorist attacks... that's mainly the reason they started spying on the whole effing world. I would've accepted it being on the "Most Corrupt List." Yeah, the government is nosy, but don't go saying that it's not a safe place to live in... You might be anti-Yankee (I kind of am) but I have to face reality as well... and truth is that just like every country the USA has its dose of violence, but it's certainly NOT worse than Somalia or Venezuela, Mexico, Pakistan, India, and Brazil.

Yeah I agree. We've been pissing off so many countries- going into war with them and what not. Since we killed Osama bin Laden, we now have to except the fact that we are even more vulnerable for attack then 9/11. What if they get their revenge on us just like Japan on Pearl Harbor and 9/11 suicide plane crash into the twin towers. How do we know Iraq isn't planninm something right now.

10 Mexico Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic located in North America. The country is located between the U.S. and Central America, and is known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches and its diverse landscape of mountains, deserts, and jungles.

Mexico has a lot of violence with the drug related stuff going on in most parts of Mexico and has cost many lives as well as people getting afraid to go to the country because of it. Though people in the U. S need to stop thinking it's a terrible place to live in because it's awesome! :D

Just stay on the good side of Mexico, and not the seedy side. That's what my parents did.

Mexico is the most violent country in the world, second is Brazil!

One reason why Trump builds a wall.

It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho.

Ever votes for all these other countries, why South Africa 8th and USA 3rd? Abit stupid coming from the face USA has 3 out of 1000 people murdered and South Africa has 50 out of 1000 people murdered. In fact South Africa has higher then all the ones above it! If you read the Internet the top 3 most dangerous countries are...

Why is South Korea in this list? I'm from the US and I lived in South Korea for 3 years. It's amazing and completely safe. Probably the safest country where you could walk on the streets with your cellphones

The most dangerous country of the world, they're still fighting to North Korea. You should refrain from visiting both country for safety reason!

North Korea and South Korea hates with each other, they can't stop ther feelings and also lack of morality. Don't know till when Korean war continues.

Hey Koreans, you guys should face the reality! Stop making up your own story!

15 Colombia Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country situated in the northwest of South America, bordered to the northwest by Panama; to the east by Venezuela and Brazil; to the south by Ecuador and Peru; and it shares maritime limits with Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Colombia should be at number 1 when I went to Colombia only saw people doing drugs on the streets, I do not know how the guys in Colombia can live in this very violent country where if you live in some parts (like Medellin or Bogota ) would not live over 1 year.

The kids can not live in peace in a country where they are treated so badly.

Not only that also 90% of the murders is not resolved, then that means that a person can kill all the people he wants and never be arrested by the police mediocre and unreliable

They say that Medellin has ceased to be the most dangerous city in the world, but I think this city is going from bad to worse

Actually, I went to Colombia this year, and I saw it's an AMAZING place to live in. Really. I did some research and Colombia is actually leaving all the negative lists (danger and kidnapping) and is being welcomed by list such as greenest countries, most innovative cities 2012 (because of Medellin), CIVETS (a bit like the BRIC's),... And yeah, today's situation in Mexico does remind everyone of the old Colombian drug war, which haunted Colombia's image for years and still does, but less.

Love Colombia. I feel safe there. I been to Medellin and Bogota. People are friendly and will want you if you are in a wrong or bad neighborhood. I would definitely live there. I took Uber around Bogota and walked the streets at night. Still alive

Mexico Is The Worst, It's A Whole Differnt World... Colombia Used 2 Be Terrible, Gotten Better But Stll The Most Dangerous

16 Yemen Yemen, officially the Republic of Yemen, is a country in Western Asia, on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula.

17 India India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages.

India consists of corruption, poverty, money laundering, scamming western nations for their money (e.g. impersonating tax authorities), female infanticide, arranged 'imploding' marriages, difficult in-laws, beggars, overpopulation, unhelpful whinging idiotic hostile people, too many tribes, littering, pollution, public defecation, lack of civic sense, lack of safety, dodgy food, racism, tribalism, too many tourist traps, scheming hotels, poor infrastructure, poor public services, inhumane men, violence against women, violence against children, exporting their problems to other nations and rubbish Bollywood movies that deflect harsh realities of India. Screw the Taj Mahal, India deserves to be extinct.

India is what people think Pakistan is when in reality Pakistan is in the shadow of misconception and India is all-praise. India has a mostly glamorous world view but reality is seen on-ground. India is not safe at all.

What A PATHETIC PLACE TO LIVE. I wont travel to this country anymore. And also advice never ever go there. Its poor and disgusting. People there r so mean and clever. What A DISGUSTIN PLACE TO TRAVEL AS WELL AS TO LIVE.

You never know the food you're eating in India...

Secondly on 2016 at Lahore at gulshan Iqbal there was a bomb blast and it is near my house because I was reading Quran with my grandma and she heard the voice when the bomb just blasted.Right know it does happen in Karachi because some people stole money and do murder.
