The index is based on a definition of prosperity that combines economic growth with the level of personal freedoms and democracy in a country as well as measures of happiness and quality of life.

So, we are either really poor or nobody even know we existed.
Tell me what you think? Is our country that bad?

You knew the answer but why you stil asking people to answer what you knew it? People knew well about Vietnam and Burma but they don't know where the Lao is?

 That is true!!!

Yes, it's still a country. Why do they have rights to not include us in there. Even Yemen made it to the list even though they are the lowest one.

We have a long way to go to prove to the world that we belong to the world.

So, please stand up and roar.

I  totally understand that Laos is not on the list. Laos is starting a new life. 
What are you expecting out of  less than 10yrs?  But I believe Laos people  are smart. We have too many jealous people that live close to us. I know lao people can be headed of any country if we have freedoom of choice.

Hmmmm...that's interesting. At least I didn't feel that way. I thought our Lao people lives happily and I don't think we are that poor as Westerners perceived.
I don't have to get up every day to make a living like in America. I am still well off.
I don't know what you guys think?

It all depends on your definition for a word " WELL OFF " it can be for someone stayed home and just eat sticky rice and fish sauce so they don't have to wake up early and go to work or some stay home and live off their parents income who's also depended on foreign aid and acting like helpless child for this matter Laos economy is moving in a speed of a turtle , because people there don't want to grow up become more independent as an adult like the rest of the world. You do not impress me a bit!no

I can see his/her point. I think both of you are correct. It's really depend on how you think about things. A lot of people including me kind of fed up with woking 9-5 everyday now. I might have some money left over, but I also felt like I have wasted my life working for somebody. I can't wait until I am retired to enjoy my life, I want it now since I am still young. I don't get why a lot of westerners just waiting for that moment...old and can't do much.

According to the Worldstats (2007), Laos was ranked "135th". However,still many nations were/are behind Laos. WHY DON'T YOU TELL PEOPLE OF THOSE COUNTRIES THAT THEY ARE POOR???. no
 Today Half of the world's population still live under poverty line. Are the half of the world's population only Laotians? - NO. NO. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, are we Lao people living in Laos really that poor?
I guess I have to go and find out myself next year.
I like how Thai government is promoting themselves as the country of "Piang Por".

In Response to the Gentleman Who said'' Lao should be another State of U.S.A.'' I don't know if you were joking or seriously, But if you really serious about What you just said. I would like to be the first person to oppose it. Why?? very easy Answer, now, look at these colonies countries, Puerto-rico, American-Samoan, Guam, Now tell me how many high Rise building you see in these countries, None, Right. What about Skytrain, Zero, especially Puertrico just became tourist destination that's it. and of course these countries used American currencies, and their infrastructure just a litle bit better than Laos.
