Happiness, Freedom, Equality, Rudeness: Welcome to Denmark

Just saw an article on a website i often go on. There's some food for thought that we should all at least nibble. If not, just give it a sniff before putting it back on the plate.

One thing that struck me was this:

In Denmark, the income for the 10% richest is only five times higher than the 10% at the other end of the scale, whereas in the USA the difference is 16 times higher.

Which is impressive unless you're a sociopath.

So do we have any Danish watmmers? What's it like being Danish?

another bacon thread coming up

I think legally Schmeichel can claim one of those for himself.

edit. oh i see they have won it once. Well i can see why Schmeichel would be reluctant to claim it.

Actually, they have made one awesome contribution to popular music.

They make the best pastries too.

Not saying that they are owned by Denmark but whatever. Costco do some bad bwoys!!!

my roommate is partially dane, he lived there the last 3 years. From his point people always were kinda reserved towards foreigners. But still, they seemed like nice people.

Also:

Sounds like paradise. Me and all my black and asian friends will move there tomorrow!

lol I was all like "chris isaak is danish?" then i realized....:)

Education is free there also, isn't it?

Sold.

Yes.

Denmark is nice.

It's kind of hard to explain the whole danish education system in English, because i can't find the right translated terms in english, i'm not sure they are even used/know outside of Denmark.

denmark and its neighbors do pretty much everything right that we do wrong in the states.

combining the best aspects of capitalism and socialism FTW.

in sweden you get, i think, around $400 / month for studying, and then you can get a loan on top of that if you want.
