Who wants to go to Denmark?

Denmark. Come for the Fjords. Stay for the Moral Chaos.

For those who don't get the joke, Denmark was the first country in the world to allow gay marriage.

In 1989.

Since then, their society has like, totally collapsed and people are running rampant. ;-)

Half of the stuff in that video isn't even from Denmark.. (like the fjords, those are ours! :P)

it's comedy, they're used to unreality :D

Unreality. Not just for invading sovereign nations anymore!

Hehe, yes, I can see our society is falling apart here. I think it was the free healthcare and education that made everything go to hell.....

As an American, I cannot begin to tell you how much the lack of free higher education in my country pisses me off. A good education is probably the greatest investment we can make in our young people, and it's just not happening. (Unless you come from a rich family, that is)

Yes, that's how we generally say around here too; the older people believe that the free education is an investment in the youth while the youth believes that the free helth care and pension is the older people's reward for having served soceity all of their lives. Denmark (But also Norway and Sweden) have a very great deal of solidarity, that I don't think you find anywhere else.

If you ask me, you will never get it like this in America... its simply a whole different way of running a country! ... It's sad, yes, but feel free to argue for the opposite...

I think it would be more accurate to say that the Old White Men who run my country are terrified that free education might help improve the overall financial situation that minorities are in and erode their positions of power.

Yes, I think that has something to do with it, but also, I don't think the US have the money to finance this kind of system. Mind you, taxes would probably have to be raised quite alot to support something similar and I doubt most americans would like that idea...

People end up paying one way or another. America needs to learn to manage its finances better. If I were a shareholder, I would be demanding a new CEO now, not in two years' time.

Denmark is VASTLY awesome. I've not returned there since I worked there in 1998, but I seriously should. People are nice and friendly (and they like beer a lot), you can go around your daily life on a bike and it's all normal and the car drivers actually watch for you, and it doesn't get overly hot in summer, except the sort of 'hot' that involves rock festivals and lots of blond Danish girls, which are plentiful and friendly. (Dortia, should you ever read this, I have not forgotten you, and I hope the large dude glowering at us in the corner was not your boyfriend.)

Plus they have all sorts of wicked-cool Brit shows on TV.

Denmark == ♥, but you already knew that.

Eh, I just go there for the cheetahs. They make great sources of heat in the winter.

Damn

I've allways wanted to tour Europe; however, the only way I could get over there right now would be to join the French Forign Legion...

yeah, right...
