Lolwut: America is the best country in the world? Meet Denmark. Yes i said Denmark..

Posting about political views is usually frowned upon in this blog, but to lighten the mood i feel that the ideals presented here are quite shocking and very, very intresting, i do love my country but it doesn't mean one shouldn't ever question if it is truely doing the best it should.

First and foremost i would like to give thanks to my friend Matt for this rather intriguing topic. I would also like to thank Behar for the information to persue this point of discussion. With out further ado:

Let the flame wars begin, jajajaja.

Now you may ask what is so special with Denmark that it could even remotely compete with America? We know for a fact that they do not have the wealth as that of an American. Denmark is rarely even in the news and isn't even considered a power house in the U.N. so why would it be a better place to live?

It's all in the socialism, the ideal that people are, within a reasonable boundry, equal. Yes, i'll be the first to admit that the concept has its flaws, as does democracy though. Look at our country, we are in a constant struggle for not taxing the rich because of all the money they "put" into our economy then turn around and tax them out the ass because they can "afford" it.

All i'm saying is that figures point to Denmark as being one of the happiest countries in the world. Despite the limited say in government, despite the absolutely insane taxes, there are more people living more comfortably in Denmark then there is in America.

The main reason for comfortable living is this:

Better health care, better insurence and better tuition schemes for people in Denmark then that of America.

With all this being exciting and all Denmark is NOT perfect, if you are a strong believer in civil rights i would not suggest living in this country.

So as i stated before, Denmark is a better country then America, in a sense that the country makes the people in it happier, Happiness in essence is the deciding factor of why you would want to live in a certian location. (vast majority of the time).

Again, political topics are generally frowned upon, this is neither a heated discussion or have to do with the nasty domestic politics in our country, just some interesting information and a shocking conclusion to who is the happiest country in the world (according to a 2008 world values survey).

Some food for thought.
