if it makes you feel better i have met a few Danes and they were all awesome. spoke better English than most Americans as well
 
When I was a kid my best friend spent a year in Denmark. Then his cousin spent a year in the US living with the family. He was the first person I ever knew who wore a speedo swimsuit. He scandalized the community.
 
one of the only thing that now is a little
bad in our country is that many of the Middle Eastern
immigrants are doing more and more violence and trouble.
many of them almost hate Denmark, then I just do not understand why they want to be here and not just go to there homecontry
it is the 5% who destroys it for all the others ... sad

Maybe just a little payback for the tenth and eleventh centuries.
 
I've always liked the Scandinavian countries but apparently they (or at least Denmark) are not without faults.

Not saying Denmark is a terrible place, just that it's not all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.

Still, I would love to visit Denmark along with Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. And like half of south asia, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm not going to bother looking it up, but what did the Danes to to the Arabic countries? If anything, shouldn't northern Europe and England hold a grudge instead?

Okay, they didn't quite that far directly. The Normans (descendants of the Vikings) did eventually get into the Mediterranean and had a few go rounds with the Arabs.

Denmark
I am an ordinary dane
I work at a factory where we produce food, sliced cold meats and sausages
smile.gif


we are around 300 employees
I have no education, and has worked there for 10 years.
I earn the equivalent of $ 42 per hour
I pay 46% taxes
but then a tax deduction of $ 1400 per month


all the workers at my workplace earn the same
next we also get 12% of our pay to spend a holiday for 5 weeks a year
it is about $ 8000 for the 5 weeks

a year ago I had hernias and had to operate
I received full pay during the 14 days I had to go home
and the actual surgery I pay over the tax.

I will say that I probably belong in the lower to middle middle class here in Denmark.

I love my country and the way we help each other
I have nothing against paying much in taxes
when we get a lot for our money
free medical care
free education + you get money for it
smile.gif


we have clean water clean air and a really really good police always nice and helpful
never violent for no reason.

USA

40% illiterate hicks who vote republican, carry guns, think they know what's best for everyone else, self righteous as hell and wrong about pretty much everything.

40% educated liberals who tend to think before voting but since there are only two parties and they're both corrupt and in the pocket of special interest groups and corporations tend to vote democrat, some of them tend to think they know what's best for everyone else too. Not nearly as self righteous as the conservatives and way below the christian conservatives who are just batshit fucking insane.

20% everyone else.

Sounds like a nice place. I'll help you defend it during WWIII if I'm not too busy fending off the religious nutballs trying to take over this country.

"Already paid for" would have been a better choice of words. This an area where the US could learn from Europe. Dump the private health insurance industry into the ash bin of history.

That being said, I award you one cookie for an awesome graphic.
