Denmark is the happiest nation in the world? ???

Iceland is rated 4th?
Bahamas is 5th.

That appears to be the most happiest place that doesn\'t suffer from snow. :D

(I might change my winter vacation plans considering this. One really needs to be happy on a vacation.)

SUFFER from snow...?
Snow needn\'t be a bad thing.

It\'s been YEARS since the south coast UK had any decent snow, and I still have fond memories of zooming down a snowy hill on a black bin bag when I was little :\'(

Yup, I\'m with Dan on that count. Abismal though the weather is, it\'s never abismal enough to generate that amount of joy...yeah...think about it :D

The UK is 41, Ireland is 11.

What do I use for Northern Ireland? :D

Silly thing, must be closer to the 11, few pints and a bit o\' craic. Do rightly, leave all the politics, economics and bothersome stuff to the mainland. ;)

Straight forward my good man - N Ireland is in the UK, so use 41! I wish we had seperate factos for NI, Wales, Scotland and England. That would be cool :D

Denmark may not be Disneyworld, but they do have Legoland! They wouldn\'t have made the top ten if Grendel were still alive:~(

But then again with a broken economy, high suicide rates and right now, stupid humidity - I can understand it! :D

This is so wrong I could cry!
Venezuela ranked 25? It did not seem quite like that when I saw the slums of Carracas, and the rioting in the streets a couple of years back.
Finland is the 6th happiest place in the world, why then do they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world?
The Tusisians are probably glad to be happier than the Greek, it probably consoles them from the village massacres by extremist militants.
It\'s not a PhD that this imbecile should get, but a round the world ticket to see for himself instead of looking up statistics. His idea is interesting, but the map should be compiled by people with brains, not just the first statistics you pull off the internet.

Oh well I like where I live.

We only send the moaners over to Oz. That way we don\'t have to listen to them whine and you do. That is why we are happier! ;)

Actually I like Australia to; just not enough to shift there.

I think it’s not based on money as on people\'s feeling. There is one country (I can\'t recall it now) that a friend of mine from Australia wanted to visit. They aren\'t as \"wealthy\" or \"advanced\" as the west. But they are still happy. I have come across places like that too. Thailand is the beast example. I have seen areas that we would consider slums and they were some of the nicest people. They never had a frown of a bad thing to say to me. Another example is my friend; Mustafa form Africa. He married an American teacher and is here with his wife in Korea. He gets the same bigotry and racism that I do from Koreans. We have ranted together about it. But he is one of the happiest people I have ever met. Hands down. Not focusing just on the negative doesn\'t make this study idiotic.
Maybe there is more out there than just the negative. Maybe that is the point being made.
