Why Nordic countries might not be as happy as you think (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45308016)
Nordic countries like Finland and Norway may regularly come out on top of world happiness indexes for wellbeing year-on-year - but new research shows the happiness is far from universal.
A report authored by the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen aims to provide a more nuanced picture of life in the Nordic nations - suggesting their reputations as utopias for happiness are masking significant problems for some parts of the population, especially young people.
The researchers behind In the Shadow of Happiness looked at data collected across five years between 2012-2016 to try and build a better picture of the so-called "happiness superpowers.
That's because they're all eating frozen pizza and paying £12 a pint and on antidepressants.
-
"Happiness Research Institute"? Right.
-
They certainly are not as happy if their female citizens are getting raped all the time
I wonder what cultural underpinning has the male citizens raping them all the time?
Odeon is a Nordic male. He may know?

I don't and I do not see how your country being the rape capital makes me butthurt. But keep spinning your wheels.

Who was it that came up with the phrase "rape capital of Europe"?

I like your approach on stupid. It's always so effortless with you.
-
I, on the other hand, love your contortions as you tie yourself into a metaphorical pretzel whilst trying at the same time to tell me things are effortless with you
-
I also love the effortless fail of your "witty" comebacks.

Why do Swedes hate their own cars enough to burn them by the scores?? :orly:
-
Why do Swedes hate their own cars enough to burn them by the scores?? :orly:
Heh. The people burning cars are almost invariably people who a) burn other people's cars, and b) don't own cars themselves.
It's got to be better than killing your countrymen by the scores, though, right?

I wouldn't know. :dunno: Most murders (80% or so) occur in particular inner cities.

I'll just drop this here. The amount of denialism going on with the political left in Sweden is just off the charts.

Most of the problems are ghettoes in inner cities, and many of them are recent arrivals. The Swedes have increasingly woken up and are fighting back.

Odeon says there is no issue
-
I was responding to odeot, who continues to blame me for gun violence committed by ethnic minority gangs in the inner cities of the US.
-
Pappy, I'm interested in where you are getting your stats from regarding gun violence and where it is committed and by whom.
The US has more than 5 times the murder rate of Australia, for example, and we also have ethnic minorities and gangs and inner cities.
The US has almost 5 times the murder rate of Sweden, which has a few problems as well with ethnic minorities, as you've pointed out.
-
Pappy, I'm interested in where you are getting your stats from regarding gun violence
No you're not, you're just looking to poke holes in the facts so you can claim victory and stick to your authoritarian narrative. :M
Half of US gun violence is committed by black men. A disproportionate amount of gun violence is also committed by Hispanics. The gun violence committed by white people in the US is fairly close to their parent populations in Europe. The same is true with east Asians.

If you are unwilling to share the source of your facts in case I poke holes in them, perhaps you are concerned that your facts are (in fact) full of holes?
As always, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. They aren't entitled to their own facts.
I love how the claim is made that, once you remove all the underprivileged, the ethnic minorities, etc from the stats in the US that violence stats are very similar to the overall stats in Europe or Australia. Ignoring the fact that other countries also have underprivileged populations, ethnic minorities with high levels of unemployment, inner city areas, and so on.

Still with your head firmly buried in the sand, I see. I especially love the "blame it on anything but white people" approach.

Hey Odeon. Sweden is touted as the capital of the world, by some and the rape capital of Europe by others. So who is doing all the raping in Sweden.
Pappy thinks it is foreign men and immigrants living in Sweden and I think it is by Sweden male citizens.
Who is right?

Bigot is what bigot does. How does it feel to be one?

You don't seem to think that I've caught on to the games you're playing. You and odeot are perhaps the two most incincere people posting here these days.
I know damn well you're just going to play the same game that young earth creationists play with the theory of evolution. Taking one pice of evidence at a time and trying to poke holes in it, then claiming victory.
In the early days of youtube I saw them play this game repeatedly.
-
So you have no idea of what's going on in your own country but claim knowledge of what's going on in other people's?
I know what's going on in my country and have a good idea of what's going on in yours.
I'm not subject to the biased propaganda put out by your government and media.
-
Still with your head firmly buried in the sand, I see. I especially love the "blame it on anything but white people" approach.
:tard:
White people are only to blame for the homicides they cause.
You, on the other hand, are engaged in the soft bigotry of low expectations, trying to blame black homicides on guns, rather than a broken black culture in the US that is the source of their high crime rates.
-
I try not to base my opinions on fake evidence.
If that makes me less sincere than you Pappy, then go ahead and post your gaslighting chart.

Sorry, Scrap, but you demonstrate the opposite almost daily.

See my previous post, but add the fact that your bigotry sometimes speaks volumes. You're the classic case of someone who never accepts responsibility for anything. In a way, you're like the typical teen, only they have an excuse and you don't, save for ignorance and blatant bigotry.

This is perhaps the most disturbing thing odeot has posted to date. If this is sincere (I doubt it), it would mean that odeot's deceit is pathological, he's not even aware that he's lying to people. That would make him a very, VERY sick person. Although it's most likely that he's just lying about his lying here.
When I met PPK in Stockton, he went on a rant about how dishonest odeot was in debates about gun issues. His opinion about odeot was severely diminished after that.
I know you met PPK too Al, did he say anything about odeot's dishonesty??

Yes and no. That is no he did not mention anything about Odeon's very real dishonesty and yes Odeon is pathological in his lying. But I think he is definitely aware of this on some level which is why he goes to such efforts to not back himself.
I think there is some weird psychological feedback thing happening. His ego causes him to virtue signal his "intellect" and "morality" and rail against those that do not hold the same ideological lines. Shine the torch onto his shortcomings and inconsistencies or simply his stupid reasoning, then he can't handle this and so instead of admit to such things as being wrong, irrational, petty, weak, cowardly or dishonest, his psyche rebels and his ego pushes him to distract, lie, contradict, or avoid rather than face truths. I think though he is aware of this. I think deep down he knows he is NOT moral or honest or intellectual. He is a scummy guy who wants to present himself as something a little better and more than what he is.

Before you get your knickers in a twist again, let me try to explain this to you.
Al lies about me being a rapist, every time he posts.
I don't lie about him being a bigot.
Context matters.

Oh, and one final comment about PPK:
Don't you think it's more than a little cheap to use him to get to me, Scrap? Says a lot about you, none of which is flattering.

They get pretty much everything wrong in your video. Did you just buy it all without bothering to check the facts? See, THAT is what is wrong with Sweden, and a lot of other countries, too. It's become the norm to spread lies and misrepresentations, and to accept them at face value.
