	I liked the quiz so that's a plus but I hate this list. The criteria for being considered lazy is vapid in my opinion. Caloric intake means you are lazy? Maybe these countries have higher caloric intake because they are developed and have more access to food. Sports Aversion? Australia loves sports but Australia is also a very healthy nation overall. If the Daily Beast is trying to say that Ethiopia or Mali are the least "lazy" because their people have no TVs or food, then they need to go back and make an actual list. This is nothing but a jab at developed countries and doesn't consider what laziness truly is such as productivity per GDP or something like that.

	Manitopia, I agree that the criteria for laziness is a bit arbitrary. However, it makes sense that the more developed countries have more resources and free time to have the luxury of being lazy. Folks in Ethiopia and Mali most likely don't have the luxury of being lazy. I'm sure a more exhaustive study of factors more closely related to "laziness" (most hours of sleep, fewest miles walked per year, etc.) would make a more accurate quiz possible, but this is the first quiz I've ever created and I wanted something simple that hadn't been done before. Thanks for your input.

	South Korea lazy?? That's hilarious!

	I think the list is quite obviously not meant to be taken too seriously, I thought it was a fun quiz.

	Accept "United States" for "United States of America". Jeez.

	I agree with HelloPossum; UK is accepted for the United Kingdom, but you have to write out the whole United States of America? Also, the quiz is so arbitrary that you just type in country names at random and see what sticks. Japan, for one, is well known for having an excellent, almost manic, work ethic, but because they like tv and not sports, they are lazy?

	Fixed the United States thing. Also, the complete subcategory list is available on the daily beast link if anyone wants it. The subcategory ranks column justs lists one or two facts about each country. And the list is ranked in order, so kryan's comment about the country names being at random, I'm not sure what you mean.

	Thank you Daily Beast for coming up with another creatively concocted list that makes the good old USA #1!! (in a bad light).

	The absence of Greece is ridiculous.. And there's no place on earth where people work as hard as the South Koreans do..

	im not trying to jab at the european social model (which in many ways is successful), but its no mystery that americans and canadians work much harder and longer at their jobs than people in western europe. and an accurate list would rank the wealthy persian gulf countries in the top 20 for sure

	surprised at this list... countries with the highest rates of obesity should be on this list, like nauru, UAE, etc. and Japan is on this list? they have the lowest rate of obesity of any country.. hardly think thats lazy. and thailand is actually the #1 in TV viewing per capita.
