Yes, the truth hurts doesn't it.

But knowing the truth can do some good. And who can't get at least some enjoyment out of listening to the establishment supporters whining and screaming, is not, is not, is not?

It's just a discussion for dog sake!

Who is the truth hurting in this situation? I haven't heard too many claiming the U.S. is that happy. The liberals are whining about Trump and his supporters and the conservatives are whining about the liberals. They both seem to hate each other---doesn't sound like happiness, but neither are they claiming to be so happy.

And then there's life expectancy, social mobility, it goes on and on. Don't dig further.

Close to 60% of your country is apolitical. How do you think they feel about it?

Some of the "happiest" nations have higher levels of alcoholism (maybe that explains the happiness) and suicide.

Does it make you happy to constantly criticize the U. S.? If so, you must be giddy.

They are too busy with other things than worrying what a happiness index says about them. Being apolitical makes them happier than all the haters obsessed with politics.

Alcoholism lowers life expectancy. What else contributes to the same degree? Likely nothing you'll want to talk about.

The truth is that Marxist states aren't very happy.

Could be a point you've made there if you can explain which state is Marxist?

My personal position for you is that Canada, the Scandinavian countries, and most other European countries are 'socially' responsible capitalist states. That means, capitalism that contains a healthy blend of socialism. They are the world's happiest countries and will continue to be the most successful for 'all' of their people.

Now let's talk about that Marxist state?
