Cubans are still trying the inflatable boats to get to US. Armenia 82? Armenia can easily replace Cuba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamavor Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Ireland N10?!? Albania N65?!? Thats what I call perverted sense of humor! I wonder if any of those that worked on this ranking ever visited Albania. And in Ireland one needs to walk around with bullet proof vest in order to continue enjoy the human develpment index.

Teutonic Knight Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Guys this is about per capita income. Not security or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 How is the per capita income computed? A simple average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghos Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 (edited) This not just per capita income, it is much more than that, literacy for example. Of course it is not a perfect index, as none are, almost by definition. I do agree with Armat about Cuba, but Gamavor is probably mistaking Northern Ireland for Ireland.

gamavor Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Well, yes partly probably, but Ireland experienced economical growth in the recent 10 years and more so prior to becoming EU member, but I doubt that this trend was to extend to surpass Britain, Finland, Swiss, etc... I think it is exaggerated. Per capita income in Ireland is still not on par with those generated in Germany and Britain. It would be more accurate to place Ireland somewhere between Portugal and Spain. Boghos, my friend you missed big time! You know what I'm talking about. I will open a special thread about the games and the parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Interesting, but brief article on Ireland's positing in the rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 way back about year ago or so, there was a program on 60 minutes about Ireland and how much of a model country it became as rapid development such as software development and high tech sector it ranks if I'm correct 2nd in the world next to India. I often think of Ireland and Armenia two nations had there share of hardship, one from Turkish oppression, and the other from British, and Armenia very much could end up like present Ireland some day in near future, I hope. For some 40 years ago Irish used to go to England much like Mexicans who come to US for low paid jobs, now days it’s English who “invade” Ireland in an Ironic twist to work at those same low paying jobs. Well some day I hope Armenia will resemble Ireland, I admire this country very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Ireland is one of my favorite countries. I was there 2-3 years ago and it was WONDERFUL. People were super nice, country is beautiful and I was there work related and the work force(high tech) was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Reminds me of my affinity for the Irish gene pool. I actually have an offer to visit and be shown around Ireland. I might pick it up sometime, depending on how the future works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Interesting. If Turkey can apply for EU membership, then so can Armenia. Application and Accession are two different things. I am surprised about Georgia though. I didn't think that they were in such a bad situation. They might improve after they started to solve their minority problems, which are dragging them down.

Ashot Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry, not only Armenia, the full website is based on 2005... therefore the tables used from the site cannot be used, because it is not updated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
