North Korea second happiest country in the world, China's #1

Postby Herrebrugh » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:27 am

Chaoxian.com.cn, reported on Thursday that North Korea's Chosun Central TV recently

released the survey result of a 'Happiness Index (Gross National Happiness) of each nation,' which was

conducted in North Korea. According to the index, the happiest country in the world is China and

North Korea is ranked no. 2. Interestingly, South Korea is ranked No.152 and the U.S. ranks last at No.203.

Chaoxian.com.cn sarcastically commented that "North Korea gladly gave the no. 1 spot to China and North Korea

itself ranked no. 2. North Korea must be the happiest country in the universe." China scored 100 points and was

selected as the country where the happiest people live in and North Korea with 98 points, ranked at no. 2.

The top five rankings include Cuba (no. 3, 93 points), Iran (no.4, 88 points), and Venezuela (no.5, 85 points).

South Korea, with 18 points, was placed at no.152 and the U.S. ranked no. 203 with its score not marked.

Free North Korea Broadcast, a South Korea based broadcast, commented that the North Koreans who are completely brainwashed,

repeatedly proclaim "We are the happiest people in the world. I will trust ‘the General’ and always follow him only."

Some readers said the ranking is wrong as it seems to survey only those people who do not know the world. Therefore, precisely speaking,

the happiness index of North Korea should be not no. 2 but no. 1 in their survey. Some even commented that the those who voted were not

the common people but those who held power and authority in the government of North Korea.

Either North Koreans don't know any better or the propaganda machine is in full swing.

Or could be a Western vs Eastern society thing. Citation needed.

This isn't a surprise. It has been scientifically proven by the best researchers in Pyongyang that imperialism causes suicidal tendencies, so while South Korea is a Puppet Government of the Imperialist US regime, the US must be even more unhappy, as everyone and everything American is imperialist.

One day the light of eternal Leader Kim Il-Sung shall shine over the entire peninsula.

For your information, I, Kim Jong-il was the one who conducted the survey, and yes, it is true. It is not propaganda, it is the real truth. The capitalists brainwashed themselves, into believing they're happy, when they are not. Why? Take a look at the goddamn American advertisement for Easy-Feet, for example. It claims to improve things when in reality, makes people sad. If any results are from me, it is true. Ergo, the DPRK is better than the USA.

North Korea has all of those educational camps, that's why! They find the people who aren't happy, take them there, and make them not not happy!

Not surprising at all.

Imagine you were locked up in a room from birth, given food, and constantly bombarded by the "truth" that in outer world people kill each other for food, people are starving, etc. Wouldn't you be happy to be safe?
