The left will run with this article and scream we need to be like Europe.

[Signalman]

Too cold there.

[Red Badger]

They eat bugs, don’t go anywhere and drive electric cars?..................

[2banana]

White and Christian?

I thought Disneyland was the happiest place on earth.

[Does so]

A Finn by the name of Erki Kulamaki told me it’s warm in Finland because of the Gulf Stream. (!)

Could’ve fooled me!

[I-ambush]

I thought they were suffering angst because of Putin’s expansionism.

Having vacationed there (in Helsinki) for ten days....I will say this:

1. There wasn’t any place in Helsinki that I felt unsafe (day or night).

2. Buses and trains run as advertised...are clean, and reasonable for the cost.

3. Winter weather is brisk, and if I were from some Middle-East climate...I’d be gone by the end of first winter.

4. People generally eat at home, and eating out is a slight luxury because of the cost factor.

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping
Or just watching TV
Finland, Finland, Finland
It’s the country for me

Gulf stream does warm Northern Europe. Search for a map, Gulf Stream.

[dfwgator]

There it is!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

A culturally and racially homogeneous country with a shared language and ethos goes a long way toward making a happy country.

[Exit148]

I thought NJ was the happiest. You gotta problem with that?

[qam1]

The happiest country has the highest suicide rate?

Yeah, ummm oK, whatever you say

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Part of it, anyway.

[MeganC]

Standing up to Russia makes people happy. So noted!

[ConservativeDude]

am I just imagining this, but didn’t Finland used to rank the highest on saddest? And most depressed? And most alcoholic?

[KarlInOhio]

and showed minimal suspicion of government corruption.

Are the politicians actually honest or are the people just fooled?

They were introduced to TexMex Chili so that they didn't have to eat blood dumpling soup anymore. Changed their whole attitude to one of gratitude.

I was quite surprised to learn that Finnish is not a Nordic language but rather a Uralic one. A language from which Hungarian is based on.
