    And it’s still happier than nearly 90% of the world. To me, that’s one of the happiest in the world. Where do you draw the line?

      I don’t care where it stands in relation to other countries. The problem is that happiness is decreasing at an alarming rate.

        Well, I was responding to a claim that the US is a “disgusting shit hole” not that our happiness is dropping.

          Bowing down to the wealthiest people is what makes it a shithole. America sold its self respect to give the rich more tax breaks.

          1: Shithole is in response to your country’s remarks about other countries

          2: You are bragging about being lower than the DEFAULT for countries similar wealth and political stability as the US. Its like someone with an alcohol addiction, but who doesnt have to work for a living bragging that they feel more fulfilled in life than someone who is struggling to put food on the table for their children

            This makes zero sense in the context.

            You are bragging

            Challenging the nonsensical claim that the us is a “disgusting shit hole” is not the equivalent of bragging about anything.

              Ok fine, 1: you are one of the richest countries on earth and yet your citizens have to go into lifelong debt to pay for what would be routine and free surgeries anywhere else in comparatively wealthy countries

              2: The US houses 4.2% of the world population, but 20% of the world’s prison population

              3: You Country experienced a horrific school shooting in 1999, and instead of doing anything about it, like most of the rest of the world did when their own countries experienced similar tragedies, it sat on its ass an did NOTHING in the 24 years that followed and the Tragedy became a yearly, then quarterly, then monthly, now it seems almost DAILY occuranxe

              4: Your last president openly staged a coup 4 years ago now and has yet to see himself behind bars.

              Mind enlightening me on how this doesnt equate to a shithole?

                Already did: it’s one of the happiest countries in the world. If it were some disgusting shit hole, people would be a lot more miserable.

                  And I countered your happiest point in that you only beat out poorer countries because of your wealth and political stability, a political stability that is eroding at a terrifying speed I might add, partly do to the fact that your country likes to fellate itself that its better than the poors, while ignoring how it compares to countries of similar status. No one but you cares that your citizens are happier than North Koreans

                    only beat out poorer countries because of your wealth and political stability,

                    So the things that make the us a good country don’t count for… reasons… I guess.

                    while ignoring how it compares to countries of similar status

                    Lol I’m including all of the countries, which is why I said it’s one of the happiest in the world. You’re excluding and ignoring countries, not me.
