Of course St. Wronge lives in a swamp, and wouldn't know natural beauty if it hit him in the face.

So Norway has a higher standard of living...big deal. Probably has a higher happiness index too.

You don't here people describing Norway as a "shithole" or "armpit" do you?

Depression hits half the population

Just one day after Norway was ranked as the best country in the world in which to live comes news that roughly half of all Norwegians will suffer depression or anxiety at some point in their lives. Psychiatric ailments have taken over as the country’s most widespread, and expensive, in the health care sector.

It’s a paradox of sorts: This year’s United Nations Human Development report,released on Monday, claims that Norwegians enjoy the highest life expectancy, literacy and income potential in the world. That apparently doesn’t mean they’re happy.

Depression and anxiety are the new folkesykdom , or national illnesses, say researchers at the state public health institute Folkehelseinstituttet . In a report issued this week, the institute claims that mental health problems are also costing society dearly because they can crop up early in life, often lead to long-term sick leave and expensive treatment programs. Patients also can suffer relapses, because of the chronic nature of their illness.

The study notes how alarmingly common diagnoses of depression and anxiety ( angst ) have become in Norway: They are the main cause of around a third of all sick leaves, affecting at least 100,000 persons at any given time.

1) Norway is the Seattle of countries when it comes to depression.

2) Made you look!!!

Texans are so great they produced Ted Cruz and that dipshit governor.

It's a fucking shithole full of conk fucks.

It's a **** shithole full of conk ****.

Cruz is Canadian and dubya is from Connecticut. Texas is a little short on homegrown talent that isn't totally batshit these days.

No but nobody cares about Norway. It's irrelevant. Put it this way: If Norway disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow we wouldn't even notice. Well, we'd see news about it. But there would be very little impact on anybody outside of Norway. If Texas did, we would. And so would everybody else. Not as much as us, but some.

The point is there is no reason to say things about Norway because nobody thinks about Norway. It's just there.

It could very well be that at least SOME people who have lived in the US in general and in Texas in particular would say that Norway is a shithole if they lived there for a while after having become accustomed to living in the United States in general or Texas in particular.

I don't know. Texas is vast and boring. Houston is a dumpster fire. The only city worth a damn is Austin.

[JohnStOnge]

I don't know. Texas is vast and boring. Houston is a dumpster fire. The only city worth a damn is Austin.

Texas has a lot of oil and things like world renowned cancer centers and very good public universities. I would be very willing to bet that there are more people from other places going to Texas for advanced medical treatment than there are going to Norway. Also things I happen to know about because I have a deaf son like top centers for Cochlear Implant surgery. There are more people coming from other places in order to go to universities than there are going to Norway. Then there's the oil. Texas is just flat out WAY more important to the world than Norway is.

Austin is full of liberal smartasses. I like San Antonio much better.

Houston is too hot but has a big Vietnamese community so you can get a decent bowl of pho and get your feet done cheap.

Oh - and BBQ is pork, motherfvckers

I agree. I don't travel as nearly as much as I did before the baby came along. This past weekend in Texas was the first big trip I had in 2 years. I should've stated that I wish to visit San Antonio. I've heard good things.


But still, Houston is disgusting.

Who cares about liberals. Austin is all about Music. That's the only reason to go to Austin, for all the great music.

Hands down, the worst BBQ I've ever had was on Sunday at this place outside Houston. It was disappointing.

I understand Texas' economic importance, but I'm pretty sure people in Norway think of Louisiana the same way you feel about Norway.

I haven't be to Louisiana, yet, so I can't judge it.

Aren't you always talking about how big cities are awful and are just necessary evils? We aren't talking about how economically important Texas and Norway are, we're talking about quality of life, scenery, crime, etc. Good God, you're dense.

Hell, you won't get any argument from TEXANS about Houston. The rest of the state, though, is underappreciated.

Marfa and Terlingua are great spots besides Austin.
