Quote:"Only a very few countries do not commit significant human rights violations, according to Amnesty International. In their 2004 human rights report (covering 2003), the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Costa Rica are the only (mappable) countries that did not (in their opinion) violate at least some human rights significantly."
Where are you going to commit human rights violations? You have no world presence, no influence and frankly you do not matter to the way the world is shaped. You stay away from anything and everything and basically live your lives to your own satisfaction. You take no sides, you stay away from anything that is more important than saving Bambi and freeing Willy. When the world is in turmoil, you stay mostly neutral and hope that trouble passes you buy. You stand for nothing. You are never in a position to commit either significant good or significant bad. When I see packages of Tofu in the supermarket, I think of the whole of Scandinavia. Does not taste good. Does not taste bad. Tastes like nothing. The correlation is obvious.
