If you're looking for happiness, move to Denmark.
Following behind Denmark came Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and the Bahamas.
At the bottom came the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe and Burundi.
The United States came in at 23rd, Britain was in 41st place, Germany 35th and France 62nd.
Countries involved in conflicts, such as Iraq, were not included.
Would you move from your home country to live in Denmark -- the happiest country in the world?
~@~
YES, I would |

There has to be something rotten in Denmark, there just has to be!

| No, I wouldn't. Though, I would support shipping all of our liberals to Denmark; they'd no doubt greatly enjoy the "stronger sense of collectivism." |

I remember seeing this article in my RSSReader, I never read it though.
Free Thinkr: Get the ship ready. Put up or ... well, you know. :-D |

sorry, its true :roll: |

Except conservatives are the ones who want an agressive foreign policy in the middle east to change Saddam's government and the Afghan government. While it is high likely that if a liberal was elected in 2000 Saddam would still be in power.
It's ridiculous that you can even call yourself a progressive. Conservatives have led the charge on these brutal regimes, while your side of the isle has complained about it.
So put up or shut up, let's see someone from your party stand up for what is right in this world. |

Are you aware of the filth that's spilling from your keyboard?
I support democratic government, and I'm a "liberal". But I don't believe I am in charge of determining what's right and what's wrong. And that is what this argument of Iraq boils down to. We didn't find weapons, so our reasoning is lost. I did support the battle, but the battle was a lie. |

Actually, 29 dems voted for the Iraq war, 21 did not. You do know how probability works, don't you? 8:)

Conservatives are also the ones who supported Saddam's regime (and other terrorists) in the first place. Try again. :roll: |

They had them. They used them on their own people. Just because they shipped them somewhere else doesn't mean anything. |

| As for the OP, I answer yes. I would gladly leave the United States in search of a better place to live. In fact, I plan to do so. Been looking at Iceland, but not to much to do there unless you know Icelandic. Plus there are only around 280,00 people in the entire country. But as long as they have broadband, hot women, and awesome heavy metal I am content. |

YES, I would
No, I'm pretty happy here. I live 5 minutes from the beach (15 by bicycle), 20 minutes from work, and I never have to scrape ice off the car. Why would I move to someplace that's cold and damp, and where I can't speak the language? |

Courtesy of the USA, of course. You turned your backs, like the rest of us. |
