What do you think countries should do to make them a happier country to live in.

What an amazing thing to do. Just great
This came up in a previous post and someone said, "When you have Free health care for all and better welfare protections for your citizens and FREE third level education you have a society that allows people to thrive and have opportunities that are based on their abilities and not how wealthy their parents are. So you get less Crime, More opportunities. More social cohesion. It's a WIN WIN for the rich and the Poor. All of the Citizens come out better."
I think that's a spot on response to your question.
We in the UK at one time had all those things, free third level education went bye-byes in the 1980s replaced with student loans, but most people don't fully pay them back for one reason or another.
And we are still a country full of miserable whinging racist buggers who vote for proto fascist tories because historically there is only one thing that really makes the British happy and that is moaning about everything and everybody else!
@LenHazell53 Seems to have become the way of the world, not just the UK. The moaning about everything and everybody else part, anyway.
@LenHazell53 Sometimes people are at their happiest when they are not happy. The Victim Mentality is growing ever greater
best thing I can think of is to give out free ice cream and plenty of it.
That's a pretty cool suggestion. lol
What about Chocolate?
@Amzungu I suppose we all have our thing. I'll tell a quick story about chocolate. Once Upon a Time I was at a party and in attendance was the young mother and her little girl of about 3. the mother was eating a Hershey bar and the little girl wanted some. she had never had chocolate. the mother broke off a little corner and told thelittle girl to open her mouth and stick out her tongue. the mother placed the chocolate on the girls tongue. she closed her eyes and leaned back her head. you could see she was working her mouth is if she was nursing. then suddenly she straightened up open her eyes wide and look at her mother as if to say "more now, right now." we all laughed and the little girl got another piece of chocolate.
Reminds me a study we looked at in Sociology; part of itβs in this: How Ice Cream Kills, a study of cause and affect.
