Believe it or not, not every CP member is a metal fan.

As a non-metal fan, I can't believe that.

That's either a double negative or a double entendre, I'm not sure which.

What about us from non-english speaking background? But I'm a metal fan though, but still could not only solve 24 out of 25 that I tried.
Hey, what about my dad? He doesn't even know what's metal !

Sadly it seems that site's been overwhelmed by traffic. I've tried to load it a few times but it keeps timing out.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would add Detroit to the most dangerous places list.

TL:DR Summary: Don't go to the African continent or the Middle East.
To bad, it has many beautiful sights.
I think more people should go see sharks. And swim with them. And get eaten. Now that's a fun holiday story! 
It's also a good solution to most QA problems

This article is actually about a very specific danger - armed violence against middle class (and higher) mostly caucasians.
In absolute terms anywhere with roads and low traffic enforcement is far more dangerous - in fact even in the countries mentioned driving at night is probably the most dangerous thing you can do.
If you are poor then anywhere that has a history of debt peonage or unregulated manual labour is very dangerous - garment factories in Bangladesh, construction in the middle east and sulfur mines in south America for example.
If you do not have access to antibiotics and hospitals then anywhere with human or animal excrement is dangerous. Pig or duck farms in China are going to be way up that list.
If you are middle class (or higher) and caucasian then the biggest health risks are probably diabetes and coronary heart disease. The highest risk areas for these are denoted by a large yellow M.

Is that ok to say Don't go to Netherlands?

We did the African thing last year, SA and Zambia, never felt threatened the entire time. Poverty is of no interest to us so there were no "shanty town tours" and we followed the advice of the locals on where and when to go. Fantastic trip!

Yeah - I'd put Ethiopia as one of the safest places I have been to in my life.
(Certainly much safer than any UK large town/city on a weekend after 9pm)

Hah we were in Glasgow just before the referendum, stayed in the hotel after sundown!

Getting eaten by sharks is too good for them. I vote that we stake them out in the desert, over an anthill.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I didn't see Kenya on the list. Maybe you could visit there and hang out with the Obama's.

Looks a bit too crowded for me: I like my beaches empty!

Frankly, the only people interested in those places as 'vacation spots' should go ahead with their trips, and thereby improve the species.

Hmmm...
I have already done six of the top eight. Mind you, it was a while ago, and things were different then. You know, the string of horses, the big sword, the chainmail hauberk, the white surcoat with red cross...

That's part of the problem; people in the Middle East have very long memories...

I remember it well. A shockingly good and very different advert. I believe it has only ever been shown once on TV, during the game.

Ja, totally agree: It was kinda a societal phenomenon! I've build a small database on the best commercials (re: 100 Best Commercials[^]) and this one sure thing in on the top!
