I don't know, Mo. I've been a few places as more than a fleeting tourist and wouldn't say that America is the most dangerous with the most shallow people in the world.
Hard for me to rank such things. What's considered dangerous and shallow can be highly subjective. I'd think that Yemen was more dangerous on the whole, but it might not look that way to you, sitting heavily armed in your secured home enjoying a poolside cocktail. The eye of the beholder and all.
I've also found the 80⁄20 rule to apply to hold true in most group situations. And, shit humor isn't typically funny to me, but anything mocking it and other shallowness typically makes me laugh. That's probably why so many people tune in to Colbert and Stewart. Gotta laugh at the absurdity of reality sometimes, it's a sanity-keeper.
Anyway, I like people who can visit or live just about anywhere; doing what it takes to avoid making themselves easy targets without failing to see and taste all of the good things and people around them. Doesn't matter whether one's in Yemen or California -- not much point in surviving if you're not gonna make the best of it and enjoy life, IMO.
