Comments by "Halfdan Ingolfsson" (@Halli50) on "Why Finland Is Happier Than America" video.
The Nordic countries are secular, but seem to be practicing what Jesus preached. In a nutshell, treat others like we want to be treated. Sling mud all you like, scream "communism" all you like, we simply ignore your manic rants and enjoy our lives in a society where we take care of each other,

Take your pick, it is a toss-up which Nordic country is the "happiest" on this globe! Bottom line, the Nordics are the least-unhappy people in the word! A Nordic myself (Icelandic) I want to replace the concept of "happiest" with the concept of being "the least-discontent" nation on Earth (the Jante-Law in full force!). I have a sneaky suspicion that my Finnish cousins will whole-hearaterdly agree with this interpretation of "happiest"!

Holy cowpat, I seem to be losing my cool: Commenting like crazy in an environment where sensible thought is a banned commodity. A very significant point Thom made: Post WW-2 Europe was - and is - based on concepts introduced to us war-torn Europeans by US Americans! Furthermore, it is still being practiced in just about every country in Europe, AND IT BLOODY WELL WORKS! Affordable (pre-paid) health care and education is a RIGHT, not a privilege in Europe. Again, it bloody well works! You 'Muricans can argue on the behalf of the blood-sucking elites in ´Murica, and it is your prerogative: If you WANT to be shamelessly exploited, you actually have the FREEDOM to be exploited. Just leave the rest of us out of it!
