The Happiest Country is....Denmark?

Actually, I think the suicide rate in Scandinavian countries is higher, but only during the peak of winter. Apparently, sunlight is essential for human beings, and sun deprivation takes a big toll on a person's psychological state.

 

On the other hand, on a more personal note, lack of sunlight during winter didn't seem to affect me at all. No night time during summer was the bigger problem.

Well, you haven't lived up here your entire life... or so I assume, correct me if I'm wrong.

DENMARK!

 

It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

I don't get depressed during winters, thanks to it being beautiful and all.

 

It's too damn hot on summers, now that is depressing.

It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

I'm sure glad he's doing something useful. Instead of trying to cure cancer, he wants to know where people are happy.

:(

 

I like how the article states the guy admits that "collecting data based on well-being was not an exact science." r00fles.

Well, perhaps from a mass-population psychology point of view it could be interesting but...

I just read in the paper that supposedly, the most common cause of death in ages 15-44 in Sweden is suicide. If its true thats a pretty depressing fact.

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

 

Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.
