    Money can buy happy, it just has to be from steady growth.

    We do seem to have become an unhappy place to live.

    Another worthless poll by the negative America-haters over at Gallup.

    They asked 1000 people from each of 148 countries, so different countries carried more weight percentage-wise.

    Also, repeating an alarming pattern that Gallup has held to since the company's inception, they didn't poll MARIS61 (the happiest man in the world).

    MARIS61's happiness > all the happy Latinos combined. :cheers:

    I see no link to the actual poll, and the actual poll doesn't even mention happiness, so there you go.

    Gallup Inc. asked about 1,000 people in each of 148 countries last year if they were well-rested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment.

    Enough to demonstrate they have little to no actual value in the attempted assessment of the emotional state of 6,000,000,000 people by asking a few vague questions of a non-random sampling of 1/6,000,000 of them.
