[Sofi32]

Their criteria for decadence are stupid, it's highly unlikely that Zambia, Bolivia and Guatemala are so innocent

Surprised they didn't include sex related activities like prostitution, strip clubs or pornography as a measure of decadence.

Or rich lazy slobs talking about this online. Probably the apex of decadence.

But I thought #7 Bosnia has a lot of Moslems (although I'm not sure the percentage) .

I believe the most decadent countries would be about cultural wealth, superficial impressive country image, scenery, and how the majority of the world population internationally view those regions of a country.


Its not supposed to be about alcohol consumed per adult annually, cigarettes consumed per adult, net gambling loses as a percentage of GDP, propensity to vice, amphetamine use, cannabis use, ecstasy use, or all drugs annual prevalence percentage summed. What a delusional list not relevant to the real most decadent countries of the world.

There would be a difference between the world's most decadent nations and the world's most corrupt nations.

Decadent is just being self indulgent.

It should be titled 'most fun to most boring countries'.

But no, I agree. You can't take anything from that survey.

Lets look at the word decadence - take it apart it is de- cadence...Cadence is something very orderly it is precise measurement of a beat...a consistent and orderly rythm. To be in cadence is to dance perfectly...to be in de- cadence is to stumble about...dancing out of time..to be clumsy. Which is the most clumsy nation might be a good question...who is the most awkward?

I noticed a significant percentage of British people in UK/England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Island don’t speak English, their native language well, and this is just completely unbelievable, not expected, and unprecedented those people have lost their proficiency in native language. They don’t have any excuses and usually don’t even know other languages to justify the lack of being well spoken for whatever they say to people.


Please read historic British literature, and some books, promote being well spoken, and this might change the negative trend!

In modern times, plenty of people in France, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Argentina usually speak much better, more sophisticated, expressive forms of English compared to a significant percentage of people in UK. It is their 2nd or 3rd language, not even their native language, and they speak even better English! In their native language, they probably speak and write even better, and is especially impressive to me.
