If you removed the scores of Liberal white women from the mix, the US’s score would be considerably higher.

Finland saw a notable increase in reported sexual offenses in 2023, with 7,100 cases recorded, marking a 29.6% rise from the previous year. This surge, amounting to 1,600 more cases than in 2022...

Immigration is awesome 👍👍👍

Noteworthy - Finland is also one of the most homogeneous countries in the world.

About 65% of Finns are Lutheran. About 33% are not religious.

About 90% are ethnic Finns.

10% are not, but most of them are northern Europeans.

Despite being mentioned as the happiest ME country, Gallup left off Israel’s flag in its scatter chart. Or in blind this AM.

I’m sure it’s an “honest mistake” and they’re not trying to erase it.

If you removed the Democrat inner cities in America, we’d not only score higher, we’d have a violence rate equivalent to Switzerland or Japan.

Finns are among the very top of the most naturally violent people in the world. There is an extremely high concentration of the “killer gene” called MAOA among them. It is like the berserker gene, but unlike the berserkers, they go cold-blooded instead of hot-blooded when starting the killing.

That helped them in their defensive war against Russia.

They used to have a very high murder rate, but somehow they figured out the cultural changes to overcome it. Probably because they are also one of the smartest nations in the world.

The happiest countries are also the whitest countries. I suspect this poll is racist.

Finland has been named the world’s happiest country, again.

In an unexpected way, because like a song, there is always a Hebrew word study.

I'm happy this topic came up again, because I'd meant to reply to the earlier thread.

Calling code +358

[משיח] Messiah = 358

It's not just that it is the same number (many words and phrases = 358), but that the Finland topic is happiness [שִׂמְחָה], which is literally associated with the Messiah for the letter permutations involved.

For example, Mashiash [משיח] permutes to "ישמח":

יְשַׂמֵּחַ yesameach
יְשַׂמַּח yesamach
Future tense, 3rd person, masculine, singular:
he / it will cheer up

יִשְׂמַח yismach
Future tense, 3rd person, masculine, singular:
he / it will be happy

Happy coincidence?

Another permutation of Mashiach is "shem chai":

When we divide the word Mashiach into two words we have the following: שם חי, Shem Chai, Meaning the “Name” is alive. Which means that there is always a sense of new life which is coming and popping into every moment in which we can feel, or sense the spirit fresh and young. What does it mean? No depression, no heaviness, no despair, but the opposite: Hope and beliefe in a new clear horizon. Optimism cheerfulness and the ability to think and to plan for the future. For the “Name” refers to the tree of life of which life is steaming from without stopping.

What Does The Word Mashiach משיח Mean In Hebrew?

For a mathematical connection to the name Finland [פינלנד] -- named the world’s happiest country, again -- 224 is also "derech" [דרך], way.

YMMV, but when there's a will there's a way, so what exactly has been taking so long already? 🤔

It's like someone stashed the honkytonk pianos deep cover.

about one-third of the population of Western civilization carries the low-activity form of the MAOA gene whereas the portion of the population that are serial killers is far less than 1%. So, if you have low levels of the MAOA gene, it doesn’t mean you’re destined to go on a killing spree. It just means that you’re a little more likely to get aggressive.

To be predisposed to being a violent criminal, you have to have low MAOA, plus a gene called CDH13, which controls impulsive behavior.

Finns have low MAOA, but typically normal CDH13. Thus, the behavior you cite.

Blacks, in America at least, have both issues.

We visited Helsinki a few years ago and liked it enough to arrange a 20-hour stopover on the way back. Clean. Safe. Great pass for five types of public transportation including ferries. Bike lanes everywhere. Nice grocery stores, as we don’t eat out much.

I wonder when the survey was taken. Would the results be lower in late winter? Or are the Finns like this I once read: “Russians love winter and eagerly await its arrival”?

And yes, it’s homogeneous. It was refreshing to not see much destructive diversity from Africa and the Middle East.

I was in Finland in 2011. They seemed pretty happy and the country was thriving. I think the list is correct. Our country is too big to even be close to happiness.

THAT’s why Putin wants it.

Prepare to defend yourselves, or you will be happy like Ukraine.
