Happiness tests are BS too. Anyone who tells you he's happy is lying.  Scandinavia may have a higher standard of living but historically they've not been as dominant as Great Britain. |

Happiness is subjective and does depend on the number of pints imbibed.  I was thinking of Britain as a European nation more dominant than the Scandinavian countries. |

What they did I believe was simply ask people. The results aren't the least bit surprising. Certainly Britain carried much more political/military clout than Scandinavia for centuries. As a matter of fact, she still does. I just don't see the relevance to happiness. Speaking of pints...(insert thirsty emoticon) |

I wonder if in Asian countries, based on Asian culture, people would be less likely to reveal that they are unhappy. |

Bahamas #3. Honestly, I could see why that is. Bahamas is a great place. Beautiful weather, great cuban cigars. The wife and I went there on our honeymoon. I hope to go back again sometime.
