Despite the presence of problems seen in any city, many factors contribute to Amsterdam’s livability. According to the Atlas for Municipalities, its large choice of cultural offerings, combined with the presence of a varied culinary selection, all set in a historical city, makes for happy citizens."
Only if the USA had just a single city that had cultural offerings and varied food !
Euro defined happiness at its best! We just can't compete with that!
and even more happiness.......
"A New Wrinkle for Hunters Transiting the Netherlands with Hunting Gear.
As if flying with hunting gear weren't difficult enough already, Sports Afield has learned of a new wrinkle that affects hunters flying through Amsterdam, a common transit airport for hunters flying to Africa. The Hunting Report recently reported that police at Schiphol Airport are actively searching bow cases for broadheads and threatening hunters with fines and jail time if they find them."
"Three bowhunters reportedly had their broadheads confiscated this season. The police told them that all arrowheads are illegal to possess in the Netherlands, as are folding knives.These hunters did not attempt to bring their hunting gear into the country-only transit the Netherlands on the way to Africa-and they had declared their bows and arrows at check-in with Delta and KLM, but were not told it was a problem.
Hunters transiting the Netherlands with firearms and ammunition are required to have a transit permit for these items, but there is no such system in place for broadheads, so bowhunters should not attempt to fly through the Netherlands. In addition, all hunters transiting the country should avoid packing any kind of folding knife in their checked baggage."
Anyone who types "if you don't like it, move" to any criticism of this country should have their faces smacked, Moe Howard style.
It's idiotic. Are you so insecure/brain damaged that you can't take criticism of the country?
Typical bawlbaby liberal wants to be left alone to whine about his situation.
Tell us, what exactly have you done to improve your personal situation if life is so harsh for you?
Most people I know that whine about how bad this country is have barely even travelled out of their home state, let alone visited these "glorious" countries they always bawl about.
I wish they had the guts to just go somewhere else.
No surprise to me. You can point right to the right wing peasant loving mentality to answer why. If not for democrats we would mostly be share croppers.
In general Americans seem to be grumpy, constantly angry, growling, paranoid (a long fear list), full of anxiety, insecure, chip on the shoulder attitudes, and always on the look-out for scapegoats.
Quality of life is an alien concept to America, quantity in life dominates. Americans believe that materialism makes for happiness.
Although materialism may provide brief satisfaction, Americans never-the-less, put all their efforts into more materialism, and obediently run on the hamster wheel until they drop dead.
Religion in America is extremely important because it promises eternal bliss in the afterlife. Sort of like the carrot dangling from a pole.
Yet, Americans are convinced that they do everything right and everybody else does everything wrong.
