Top 10 Happy Countries

[goat]

My question is why do Scandinavians in the U. S. have higher health states than other Americans? They obviously do not benefit from the safety net or universal health care.

I will stipulate that Scandinavians have good genes but their health is only part of their happiness. One could live to be 100 and be miserable their entire life.

The US comes in 19th happiest (which is amazingly high) in spite of our corrupt corporate owned government. Protests and riots will continue to grow over the next 10 or 20 years. My argument is the US bought its way into the top 20 happiest countries.

These Scandinavian countries do have higher than average suicide rates...

In 2019, Sweden had 14.7 suicides per 100,000 people. Historically, Sweden has had a high suicide rate, with the most suicides in the developed world during the 1960s. That may have been due, at least in part, to cultural attitudes regarding suicide and long, dark winters, particularly in the northern regions.

There are great differences in the suicide rates in the closely related Nordic countries. The suicide rates are higher in Finland, especially in males, and Denmark, especially in females, and lower in Norway and Iceland, with Sweden in a middle position.

So, they may be happy, but they've got issues too...

I can only take a month or 2 of winter so I was surprised to see all the Nordic countries in the top 10 happiest. It may still be part of the tradition in Finland to walk out on the ice alone once one becomes a burden on family. We stick our elderly in a nursing home once they become a burden. I'd rather take that walk on the ice once I'm too old to care for myself.

But they aren't really happy either... The dichotomy is the Scandinavian nations are really happy so why the high suicide rate?

Western Europe & it's satellite countries have the highest rates of mentally ill in the World.

Most aren't mentally ill... I supoose.

Maybe the mentally ill are the ones who are committing suicide!?

All the Scandinavian and Norden countries. Can anyone explain that?

Sure,

1) you probably made them up (though Nordic countries do have a high standard of living).
2) you sure as shit made up the word 'Norden' to mean what you say it means.

3) you actually tried to lump 'New Zealand' in with northern, European countries?

And 4) - you ever heard of a 'link'?

All 5 Nordic countries made the top 10 happiest countries. If Sweden and Norway were a little happier, I could've made it a top 5 list.

Do a search on top 10 happiest countries. New Zealand should be on the most recent list.

Post your list. I post the new list every time it is published.

I don't have a list.

I just think if you are going to post a 'list'?
The least you could do is post a link to it.

Bye now.
