Wait a minute! These guys weren't factoring in their nation cricket performance.



For the Aussies, that shiney thing he's holding is a trophy.

Bow to your cricket overlords.

Said every teenager who ever lived....including me believe it or not.

We're the same the world over. Just got to fight through it and stay positive.

If Australia's the "happiest" nation what are the other countries like????

Anyway here's a link for a few laughs.

Happiest nation in the world eh?
Well, no idea how they jagged that.
Must be all the stereotypical stuff that 1-day tourists pick up from sales assistants in over-priced gift shops which are stocked with koalas, tea spoons and thongs.

Happiest because maybe the general populous doesn't take politics very seriously and when they blindly vote in the wrong government, purely on a "she'll be right mate" attitude then yea, it's happy days.
Not so happy for us who give a dam about the country's economic woes, or the success of the country's political factions.

Needless to say, i'm being a tad negative here, but, as the old saying goes: the truth hurts.

Sure, there a lot of "happy" people here, same goes for any country.
I think this is one of those awards with a serious lack of value in the real world.

What next?
An award for the "luckiest" country in the world?
Heck, we'd win it every single year, purely based on the fact that so many ill-informed and unrealistic people here say Australia is the "lucky country" so often they have started believing their own little fantasy world.

My post is rather harsh, or so it may seem to the people living in other countries, and perhaps to some of the Aussie contingent here in SubSim.

Take it any way you want, but the cold hard facts are that Australia has a long long way to go, what with the 'massive' 200-odd years of culture behind them, and 2 (the biggest) political parties who demonstrate in the House of Reps on a continuous basis what a distant horizon it indeed is for visuals of some real backbone and leadership skills.
Rolling up the sleeves and actually working on common goals rather then displaying pre-historic animalistic behaviour patterns when attempting to defeat the cross-benches' ammendment suggestions.
But, that's politics,
and i've hi-jacked the thread and spelt out some negative points...
in light of all that:
Congrats Australia!
