The Obamedia knows better than to take a Happiness Poll tomorrow. When the clown and the poseur take their redundant oaths (totally unnecessary since they were legally sworn in today), half the country will be swearing in a totally different context.
Switzerland at No. 9? They have one of the highest suicide rates per capita in Europe...
Royalist propaganda.
very subjective criteria of course
So we can now say (as based on the demographics of the top 10 happiest countries), being happy is racist.
Libs = 1
Conservatives = 199
Diversity leads to unhappiness. Is this the conclusion I should draw?
On the other hand, the same Liberals don't seem to be too concerned about the national debt and downplay its significance.
I don't know... I am so confused! But I know that I am unhappy! /sarc
I notice that the “happiest” countries are extremely liberal, Socialist, and have very low moral values in general. If that’s what it takes to make their list, I’m glad we’re not in the top 10.
These poll results make me very unhappy.
Gallup’s list is COMPLETELY different!

I know that a lot of beer will be consumed in the next four years. So maybe that will make us happier.
At least it helps me forget that our country is going to hell in a hand basket. For a little while anyway.
Happiness is mandatory. Unhappiness will result in termination.
Are YOU happy, Citizen?
I’m shocked! There’s no country in Africa of the Middle East in the top ten!!
Well, comments about suicide rates and alcoholism aside, I have a problem with this article.
For one thing, the survey didn’t seem to actually ask people “are you happy?” I believe a poll that actually did that showed that put Nepal on top.
Also, the countries on this list aren’t “borderline socialist.” Having a large welfare state (in terms of services offered) isn’t the same thing as socialist—these countries have functioning mixed economies, with private industry, capital and labor markets, etc.
Also, all of these countries on the top have greatly scaled back their welfare states and liberalized their economies in the past thirty years. Ireland would not have been this high thirty years ago, when it was considerably more “socialist.”
For more information, google “Scandinavian welfare myth.”
More proof that Conservatives outnumber lIbeRaLs. If they outnumbered us, the US would be off the hopeychangey charts.
FRAUDULENT POLL!
North Korean is the Happiest country!
The Dear Leader has said so!
/s
“ve haf vays of makink you happy!”
Obvious racist poll. No African countries in the top 10.
yeah, those Scandinavians are going to be deleriously happy when full-blown Sharia law kicks in!
