World's Happiest Nations

[friendlyskies]

Yeah, those dogs are America. I don't know what's up with Costa Rican dogs. They all have really short legs. It's kind of weird, then you get used to it, then you leave the country, maybe to a place with real weed, and it's like, "Oh my fuck, look at how tall that dog is!!!"


Maybe 90% of Costa Rican dogs are like the mutt version of whatever this dog is. I guess this isn't the Happiest Place on Earth for big dog lovers. Those people could go to El Salvador, where it's all about German shepherds.

So Costa Rica is a socially libertarian paradise? I might have to give it a shot. I was going to try to make a correlation between the price of grass and happiness, but that statement about having lousy grass nixed that hypothesis.

A friend of mine has a Corgie/Rottie mix. Shape, coloration and body size of a Rottie with the short legs of a Corgie. I call it the mutant Dachshund.

That's a beagle.

The mating is rather alarming to picture.

I don't know how anybody could even ask the question about what nation is happiest when America is in the running. Of course America wins. I am offended that some shithead somewhere would even ask the question. That's like asking: What's the most important gas in the atmosphere? Duh, the answer is oxygen, oxygen, oxygen -- every fuckin time. Don't even bother asking.

Dumbest dogs on the planet. No sane person would keep one inside as I think they are practically impossible to house train.

I just thought this belonged here.

Before lunch

Isn't that just like a Brit. I show you why America is the happiest place on Earth by showing your normal, everyday people and the normal, everyday bounty of the US. And the Brit shows images of elites representing .01% of the UK population.

I have no doubt that Sir Fox Huntleroy is one of the happiest (if he isn't completely numb and bored from being born into great weatlth) people on the planet. Unfortunately, he doesn't represent your average Brit; who lives more of an existence like this:















When was the last time these people ate fresh cod, forget about deep sea fishing for cod before lunch.

Looks like a ling (from the same family as cod and often served as cod) to me:

The word "ling" is related to "long," because of the fish's elongated shape. Though it belongs to the cod family, it looks more like an eel.

But what the hell do I know? I don't claim to fish for that fish after my morning fox hunt.

It's a conger you know nothing spacker.

Isn't fox hunting banned already or am I suffering from being able to predict the future again?

America and England share a common heritage. Not language of course , that is really different. Culture? It is just similar enough to be confusing for both sides, so no. The real similarity is the fact that when people of both nations tire of watching people drive old tractors in parades or get bored by having inbred people ride horses and blow horns in pursuit of a fox urine soaked rag pulled accross some mud by a servant...then they go off into sheds, basements, garages, studios or expansive estates and invent incredibly useful things.

Reading about the industrial boom in England and the one years later in America is a parade of geniuses (Scotland too). Both happened in areas where men worked with real things and gentry were no where to be found until much later.

Brunel and Edison are only two but when they were active what they presented to the world must have seemed like alien technology at the time. The Great Western appearing in New York harbor would be like a flying saucer landing at JFK from outer-space today...an actual steam ship in a harbor filled with barks and sloops. When the awe faded away the locals must have felt like they were wearing lip-disks and grass skirts.

I could go on and on about Westinghouse, Ford and the many others plus those that they all inspired but I would love it if people would actually be proud of their achievers in their country rather than the sentimentality that people like these made possible in the first place.

Besides...Industrialists freed more slaves than any abolitionist ever did and liberated more women too.
