It could be a typo.... The publisher did the list back to front? And the official world happiness ranking by forbes reckons that the USA is 14th, but Mexico is 18th. So that's why the Mexicans are all jumping the border into America. Because they're happy and enjoying themselves? I think not.

I'm all for socialism but communism is about controlling how your citizens think, effective yes but not exactly ethical. but hell they re-wright their ethics so the citizen praise them for it. this perfect example of propaganda reinforces my point but with their censored internet they will never find sorces to contradict what they are told.

Indeed.

Being an engineer, I think about it in terms of gradients. Just like heat transfer is driven by a temperature gradient, and mass transfer by a concentration (or sometimes pressure) gradient, human transfer is driven by happiness gradient.

Since Mexico's happiness rating is 18, and the USA's is 14, there's a driving force from Mexico towards the USA for human transfer. It only makes sense! The only way we could reverse it is to increase the pressure on the USA side to drive transfer the other direction.

But China doesn't have any happier countries bordering it, and South Korea has too much pressure to allow North Korea to transfer out. So both China and North Korea are in human transfer equilibrium with their surroundings. Maybe that's what they mean by 'happiest' - there is no transfer out/in!

Yup. According to North Korean research. That's almost as reliable as citing encylopedia drammatica in a college thesis.

When I joined it was a year before I met any other engineers.

1. I hope this is sarcasm
2. Holy crap :O
3. I'd say its been highly influenced, but it's certainly not a puppet, they actually fight back, while we launch a shit-storm of accusations and call for measures to be put in place to limit North Korea
4. Believe it or not we actually have a democratically elected leader and government.
5. Actually everythings pretty mellow, i even put my helmet back on my shelf.
6. Granted i'm not a 100%'er or anything, I do say I like Imperialism, but I'm also a fan of other parties, infact the most imperialist thing we have is the media.


1. (incase of original number 1 falling apart) You do realize that we only pay attention to North Korea when they try something WMD wise or make threats? (in rare cases attack) I mean your talking about a nation that for the most part is rarely even seriously discussed, this article will probably go on the list with all the other hilarious antics their childish leader has produced.

2. And if you mean the light that comes from his ass where all his other information is produced then your way behind.
