Apparently they couldn't find anyone in Greenland to ask if they wanted to leave.
 
An estimated 166 million people want to move the USA:

But 45 million want to move to Canada (which currently has only 35 million inhabitants):

Nearly one-quarter (24%) of these respondents, which translates to more than 165 million adults worldwide, name the United States as their desired future residence. With an additional estimated 45 million saying they would like to move to Canada, Northern America is one of the two most desired regions.

The rest of the top desired destination countries (those where an estimated 25 million or more adults would like to go) are predominantly European. Forty-five million adults who would like to move name the United Kingdom or France as their desired destination, while 35 million would like to go to Spain and 25 million would like to relocate to Germany. Thirty million name Saudi Arabia and 25 million name Australia.

Roughly 210 million adults around the world would like to move to a country in the European Union, which is similar to the estimated number who would like to move to Northern America. However, about half of the estimated 80 million adults who live in the EU and would like to move permanently to another country would like to move to another country within the EU -- the highest desired intra-regional migration rate in the world.

How this was calculated:

Results are based on aggregated telephone and face-to-face interviews with 259,542 adults, aged 15 and older, in 135 countries from 2007 to 2009. The 135 countries surveyed represent 93% of the world's adult population.

For most countries, aggregated sample sizes (across three years of surveys) range between 1,000 and 3,000 interviews. One can say with 95% confidence that the country-level margin of sampling error, accounting for weighting and sample design, ranges from ±3 percentage points to ±6 percentage points. Results are projected to the total population of each country aged 15 and older, using 2008 World Bank population estimates.
 
Spoiler :
At least 700 million people worldwide - a minimum of 10% of entire population - would like to permanently emigrate from their countries:

Almost 4 out of 10 of all Sub-Saharan Africans would like to emigrate from Sub-Saharan Africa somewhere else:

"If everyone in the world could land in his country of choice tomorrow, Singapore's population would rise by 219%. Zimbabwe's would fall by 47%."

The top 20 destinations, according to this measure:

It's interesting to see Botswana on that list! I heard they were doing well for an African country, but I didn't think that well.
 
I wonder how much will "racial achievement gap" in the USA change when you exclude Jews from Whites ???

Because it seems that Jews might be significantly boosting up "White" performance in these statistics.

Take Jews from "Whites" category, add them instead to "Hispanics" or "Blacks", and see how it magically changes.
 
I'm not saying what that graph does show, but that graph might show more differences in reporting than differences in raping.
 
Comparing official crime statistics across countries is meaningless. Doubly so for sexual assault. Tims is right to identify reporting rates as a factor. Swedish law enforcement almost certainly has higher confidence among victims than most other countries. Their laws and procedures are also better geared to protecting victims, and social attitudes more supportive of victims. And they specifically state in their laws things like marital rape, and the victim being intoxicated makes it rape, which isn't always terribly explicit in other countries jurisprudence.

In most cases a rising rate of recorded sexual assault is a good thing as it reflects rising reporting rates and improvements in law enforcement.

Moreover, though, some jurisdictions record crimes at the point of reporting, some at some point of being taken seriously enough to record, some at charges being laid and some at actual convictions. Some record repeated incidents as one crime. Others as a series of separate crimes.
 
That's also potentially fraught, due to changes in societal attitudes, policy, and the law. You've always got to use precise judgement about why a change is occurring. An example is Australia's assault statistics which are almost certainly going up due to changed official and societal attitudes to domestic violence (and probably also to changed copper and public attitudes to random drunken fights and bashings).

A couple more things I've found related to Swedish statistics. They record crimes at the point of initial report, which is early. As I mentioned earlier they're a country which counts every incident separately. They also have a proactive onus on police and prosecutors in their legal system to register offenses as they are identified, whereas other places have negotiable charges and plea bargaining.
 
That's a pretty poor graph. Not only are the columns nonsensical, but the values shown are pretty silly. Why 356 and 474 and not like 300, 350, 400?

I know it's a serious subject matter, but come on.
 
I agree, it seems to have been put together to make a point. I suppose the point leaves a mark with me, because I don't think the subject matter is discussed nearly enough. People are just ignoring it, imo. I'm not even sure if the numbers are accurate, but..
 
 
Definitely Pong. 1975 or so. Played it endlessly. Only downside was that my younger brother was somehow always better than me (grrrr).
