6 weeks per year vacation time is laughable.

In Denmark I would never have been able to build a business from nothing and take an average of 8-9 weeks vacation per year - and I intend to increase that to 12 weeks per year in the coming years.

Denmark might allow the average person with average abilities to be happy, but those that have ambition and talent will always have their spirits crushed... that''s why the best and brightest will always move to America.

There are enough socialist countries in the world already. The politicians and media are pushing to make America just like Europe. Why not let there be one country remain as its founders intended that allows people the freedom to grow to their full potential?

I watched the "Science of Sleep" and "And The Happiest Place On Earth Is...". One question was unanswered: How much sleep do the Danes get?

Once agains, shame on 60 minutes for the usual leftist, socialist, and very anti-American/anti-Capitalist slant on life...I''m an offspring of Danish and Norwegian immigrants, and I assure you, there is NO COMPARISON...sexual immorality and the move to silence Christians there is d i s t u r b i n g !!!!

Wow, if only you could see me grimacing and then finally flicking-off the TV you would know my opinion of the story.

There is nothing wrong with the "American Dream" and if you work hard in high school you can "get paid" to college too... I am not sure what that story was supposed to do, except cause more discontent for the Danish.

Was there even a point?

They just sound pragmatic, and I have noticed that pragmatic people tend to be happier, or at least, less stressed. I have tried to develope pragmatism in myself, but it isn''t easy to tame my reactionary personality. Maybe it is in the Danish DNA. Pragmatism!
