Happiest people on earth, danes. Low expectations.

That's a very funny clip. I can't remember how to say hei in danish either.

Denmark has been 1st on the  Worlds Happiest Country list.
One big reason Why is that it's  a country that looks after it's  people. Has good Health ,Education and Social policies.

De har de bedste chokolade kager og is og iscreme, som også skal gøre derefter meget glad

Denmark is my favourite, bro.

The Scandinavians never really place an importance of their existence upon 'Language', some say they seem to be more focused upon the 'medi' things in life. In fact, they have a really progressive Medical system (culture?) in place, possibly the best?

The Anglo-Saxons of England (and possibly the Celts as a whole : Germany, Holland,Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Czech and to a lesser extent, Slovakia) really did place an importance of their existence upon Language and the USA followed suit upon an even greater level (like Frankenstein's creation?). Language, of which such things as Politics, Law and Linguistics derive their existence from, can highlight other Nations' existence -even though it is not an important factor.
Take the Nipponese (or the Japanese as the Celtic/Western people prefer to say) for example. When they speak, they make sounds as if they are suffering from stomach pains or constipation. Now this is why a lot of Nips don't like to talk much at all and instead they 'make things' - hence "Made in Japan". Of course, the English language is the most versitile and enlightening of all the languages. It is able to advance into the future and grow without compromising its expression in regards to the well-being of the person.
Of course, a Nipponese person does feel a lot better when speaking English, than their own language ...but a lot of Nips feel that they will no longer be 'Nipponese' if they start talking an 'Anglo-Saxon' language or they will loose the empowerment of 'making things' as well.
This is understandable, but this is where the Anglo-Saxon Empire of the UK/USA & Queensland (& Melbourne) must come to grips that the GIFT that they found and brought into the world, must be released and given to the world if indeed, it is to THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE and not just the White Anglo-Saxon language.
Its much like the stereo-types (though justifably so, for everything has a source and beginning) of you need Black-skin to work out in the sun upon the land, or you have to be yellow and asian to live in a city like a Citi-Zen, etc, etc. Even other races who 'created' things like Maths, Religion, Music, etc ...will find that they need to 'Let Go' ("...of the Precious") and allow the rest of the world to embrace in their own degree.

So the Danes are loosing a sense of strength in their language. And the fact that the direction of Medicine, rather than Politics is their excuse. Not every nation must place an importance of Language as the Soul of their existence and thank God for that.
I think New Zealand has a Musical and Tourism excuse to (Fade to Grey) drift away from Language as an importance or priority (you don't need an actual Language to sing for the sound can convey an emotion beyond what a word itself could convey in relation to the Music played).
I know Mauritius does place an importance upon Language and hence has the highest percentage of Linguists in the world, a lot of whom work for the United Nations.

Sorry if its making cents but only in 5 cent peices.

In 2006, the Danish minister for employment, Claus Hjort Frederiksen, spoke publicly of the burden of Muslim immigrants on the Danish welfare system, and it was horrifying: the government's welfare committee had calculated that if immigration from Third World countries were blocked, 75 percent of the cuts needed to sustain the huge welfare system in coming decades would be unnecessary. In other words, the welfare system, as it existed, was being exploited by immigrants to the point of eventually bankrupting the government. "We are simply forced to adopt a new policy on immigration. . . . the calculations of the welfare committee are terrifying and show how unsuccessful the integration of immigrants has been up to now," he said.

A large thorn in the side of Denmark's imams is the Minister of Immigration and Integration, Rikke Hvilshoj. She makes no bones about the new policy toward immigration, "The number of foreigners coming to the country makes a difference'. Hvilshoj says, "There is an inverse correlation between how many come here and how well we can receive the foreigners that come." And on Muslim immigrants needing to demonstrate a willingness to blend in, "In my view, Denmark should be a country with room for different cultures and religions. Some values, however, are more important than others. We refuse to question democracy, equal rights, and freedom of speech."

Hvilshoj has paid a price for her show of backbone. Perhaps to test her resolve, the leading radical imam in Denmark, Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban, demanded that the government pay blood money to the family of a Muslim who was murdered in a suburb of Copenhagen, stating that the family's thirst for revenge could be thwarted for money. When Hvilshoj dismissed his demand, he argued that in Muslim culture the payment of retribution money was common, to which Hvilshoj replied that what is done in a Muslim country is not necessarily what is done in Denmark.

The Muslim reply came soon after: her house was torched while she, her husband and children slept. All managed to escape unharmed, but she and her family were moved to a secret location and she and other ministers were assigned bodyguards for the first time in a country where such murderous violence was once so scarce.
