Why can’t the US be more like Denmark?

Not enough smart people.

Denmark and the US both have an average IS of 98.

Are you one of those hyper partisan people that think all people that disagree with you on politics are stupid and morally bankrupt?

Let me guess, using your logic we should screen immigrants by IQ to push our Denmark future.

I think they are looking for an intelligent answer. I'm sorry you can't provide one.

Probably not the first time you've been wrong today.

I've been to Denmark. But I'm American.

It has some very nice qualities.

Tell me about your experiences there.

As if US liberals would ever be like Denmark and tax everyone. As usual liberals want everything, as long as someone else pays for it.

Progress marches on.

It will only effect 200 women or so.
Because we are not Danes, if Americans wanted to be like Europeans they would have stayed in Europe, same goes for the rest of the world, enough said.

It's easier for a nation of homogeneous people to be progressive. We have too many factions here. You can't blame X nationality/race when your country is the same as you.
