Here we go again with another survey.
Australians have been named the world's worst sinners, British researchers have found.
Focus magazine (published by the BBC) states that Australia ranks first for envy and third for lust and gluttony among the world's nations.
The magazine's editors measured the level of "sin" by using a points system to determine which evils a country committed the most. Sloth, for instance, was measured by how many sick days workers took.
Rounding out the seven sins were South Korea (lust), the US (gluttony), Mexico (greed), Iceland (sloth and pride) and South Africa (wrath).
Gluttony is easy but I wonder how they measured Lust? |

Link?
I'd like to know how they measured envy, and how Australia got the nod instead of Korea. |

What a totally invalid measure of slothfulness. Taking sick days is socially responsible.

Spending on prostitution per capita maybe? |
