<p>I am trying to compare these high ranked countries (according to my uncle’s chinchilla, sixth and seventh ranked countries in the world) for a [url="<a href="http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php"]llama[/url">http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php"]llama[/url</a>] farmer applying for a tenured llama farming position.
Incidently I would also like to know which countries are considered the best in the following field:mustard quality, Fourier analysis & religious shrines, baked peanuts & street performing.
Please provide proof for your assertations (links to web pages, statistics, research surveys etc.) Unsupported assertations will not be tolerated!
A College Confidential wide poll would be VERY VERY nice !!!</p>
<p>Hahahahaha. Awesome.</p>
<p>Word on the street is that the average tenured llama farmer receives much more respect by disclosing they live in Australia than Luxembourg. This is all I can tell you from the few tenured llama farmers I know in both Australia and in Luxembourg. If I can get any of them to write anything on the subject I will gladly link here.</p>
<p>I really hope harvardguy was some sort of joke. Otherwise, I fear…</p>
<p>Well what kidn of reputation are you looking for? “Llama farmer rep, animal industry rep, toilet paper sales manager rep… so many reps!!!”</p>
<p>sagar_indurkhya, I think Ben’s looking for the reputation in the eyes of the general public.</p>
<p>you are mincing words and failing to provide concrete citations. which country is more reputed OVERALL? my llama farming friend wants to be in the best OVERALL country.</p>
<p>your country must be very proud of you.</p>
<p>The Wikipedia article “Luxembourg” refers to another article (see footnote). If we look at this article we find that Australia is ranked 6, in exact agreement with your uncle’s chinchilla. Furthermore, Luxembourg is ranked 167 - FAR lower than Australia. Therefore, overall Australia is the best option.</p>
<hr>
<p>Footnote:
See Wikipedia article “List of countries by area” (article begins with the sentence, “This is a list of the countries of the world sorted by total area.”).</p>
<p>Further analysis:</p>
<p>The fact that BOTH the numbers 6 and 7 appear in the number 167 proves conclusively that your uncle’s chinchilla is basically infallible. And since your uncle’s chinchilla ranks Australia above Luxembourg, Australia is the better option.</p>
<p>See? Now we have two independent logical paths to the same conclusion!</p>
<p>Well, according to the pet-owner’s information site linked at the bottom, some chinchillas come close to rivalling squirrels in intelligence. In fact, it says that “The chinchilla is getting more popular in captivity because of it’s sensitivity, shyness and intelligence.” Sensitivity and intelligence? What excellent qualities with which to judge llama farming prestige! </p>
<p>Then again, it’s debatable how broad the world-view of a creature living in a wire cage can be…</p>
<p>Unattributed hearsay. Hmph. Did you just come here to throw around subjective opinions or do you have some FACTS about country prestige.</p>
<p>Also there is no need to be so ad hominem with my sources.</p>
<p>Calling my statements ad hominem, while technically true, is irrelevant in an argument about general opinions. How can an opinion be independent of the critter that holds it? I rest my case. The chinchilla’s credibility is of utmost importance here.</p>
<p>Your grammar is terrible bye the way.</p>
<p>don’t personalize, emmeline, rationalize.</p>
<p>Yes, well, what can you expect of a llama farmer? I’ve given excellently valuable advice to hundreds of llama farmers, and having had the opportunity to farm in both esteemed countries, I said screw it and stayed in the US instead!</p>
<p>Ben, </p>
<p>I gather this from the US News Ranking of Agricultural Countries: Australia just edges out Luxemborg when it comes to animal husbandry. (9points on 10 v/s 8.995). But you should note that to maintain some animals, Luxemborg might be a better option. I would think that your uncle’s choice should depend on where he would be more happy, vis-a-vis the overall experience. He should not base his decision on the prediction of how happy his llamas would be in a particular country :).</p>
<p>But you see, the overall experience is what we are trying to quantify here, through Fact and Cited Sources. How can you be happy without knowing that you are in a place the general public more highly regards?</p>
<p>None of you want to have serious debate about this important topic. You all are embarrassmnet to CollegeConfidential. That’s exactly what I expected.</p>
<p>GDRtsasdfasd narrrrr.</p>
<p>You should check out the peer reviews for each countries llama department. Australia has a good overall reputation for llama-raising while Luxembourg is mostly known for it’s strong graduate-level professional llama raisers.</p>
<p>Golden Boy, Ben said in his initial post that:</p>
<p>“Unsupported assertations will not be tolerated!”</p>
<p>Actually, since Australia’s llama to uterine-surgery ratio is much higher than Luxembourg’s, we arrive at the clear conclusion that Australia OWNS Luxembourg.</p>
<p>In fact, if you go to Luxemborg, you will have ZERO chance of getting uterine cancer.</p>
<p>If Luxemborg loves their llamas so much, why can’t they improve on their llama to uterine cancer ratio?</p>
<p>Australian llama farmers really dont’ consider the Luxemborg population even nearly as carcinogenic or as good in the field of llama farming.</p>
