    Clearly this poll was complied by Nazis as I see a suspiciously high number of Aryan types at the top.

    Also the populous of some those lower ranking countries are highly armed and so probably have no need for English to get their message across,racist.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    When I saw the headline, that is the first thing that came to mind. I was a bit bummed they excluded native speaking countries.
