I remember back in high school there was this Danish foreign exchange student one year, and she would not shut up about how this or that was better in Denmark.

    The average Dane is firmly convinced that Denmark is the most perfect place on earth, a paradise that the rest of the world can only dream of. It follows that any reasonable person who's not already a Dane must have a desire to become one. If they don't, there must either be something wrong with them or they simply haven't heard enough about how good Denmark is.

    The upper class in Denmark are just as big piss babies about paying their taxes as they are anywhere else. Ordinary Danes might like to say they're happy to pay taxes but in reality few of them would pass the opportunity to have their car fixed off the books or to buy beer in Germany to avoid the Danish alcohol tax.

    Well in fairness if you came to America and saw what a depraved, decaying shithole it is after being raised on a diet of airbrushed American media you'd probably be appalled, too.

    I can't count how many stories I've heard of people visiting from civilized parts of the world and breaking down crying in the street when they see how American's treat homeless people.
