| Egypt competes with world's unhappiest nations |
| 2013-09-23 |
| [Al Ahram] A report published by the United Nations' ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... Sustainable Development Solutions Network has listed Egypt as the 130th most happy nation out of 156 surveyed. Well, you know, Islam is the Answer®. Egypt's happiness rate dropped by 21.2 percent in comparison with 2005-2007, according to the 2013 World Happiness Report which was published in September. According to the report, countries in the Middle East and North Africa have witnessed a decrease of nearly 60 percent in their "happiness rate." Denmark was listed as the happiest nation in 2013, followed by Norway and Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... . The report made its assessment by looking at a number of factors, including life expectancy, GDP per capita, corruption, citizens' perceived freedom to make life choices, and "social support." |

| #4 Two big factors in generating unhappiness - too little food and too little s*x. Between geography, demography and religion, Egypt is hurting. The same factors pretty much apply across North Africa, the Mid-East all the way to Pakistan. |

| #1 Will need to chase down the actual report, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that 'happiness' (however they calculate that!) is inversely proportional to how Islamic a country is. As for Egypt, they still have their shambolic economy and lack of calories, but with their recent reset vs the MusBros, they are doing better than one would have predicted a year ago. |
