I had no such intention, honest lol

[Socon-Econ]

There’s no objective way to compare happiness. Maybe they have the happiness of the brainwashed.

“No carbon emissions? Have they not yet discovered fire? Do they subsist on raw Yak “

That’s what the left wants..for us to digress and go back to being effing cavemen just to “save the earth” especially with this glowbull warming garbage..

[Track9]

They need a mall and a big parking lot full of SUV’s. You’d see smiles all around.

[ViLaLuz]

They eat air and fart clouds.

“No Carbon emissions would mean they were all dead.”

---

Even if they are dead, their corpses and the maggots would still cause “carbon emissions”.
Even this simple fact escapes the mind of leftists, the auto-proclaimed defenders of “science”.

[miniTAX]

“Most leftists have an Asian fetish.”

And a Mexican fetish, an African fetish, an Indian fetish...

[Boogieman]

I’m guessing the “world’s happiest country” also has no illegal immigration problem.

[Boogieman]

Maybe there are no emissions because everyone in Bhutan is too poor to actually afford to buy those cars?

[Bonemaker]

We’d be a much happier and joyous country too if, like Bhutan, we had no democrats.

[CodeToad]

If there are people then there are carbon emissions. What’s so wrong with carbon anyway?

[Olog-hai]

Hmm. I see pictures of paved divided highways with cars and other motor vehicles on them in Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu. That city is also served by Paro Airport, which is an hour away by road.

Another day, another pile of left-wing manure.

It appears that Bhutan is the world’s happiest country because their government has declared themselves to be according to their self-scored Gross Happiness Index.

But buried deep in the article: “The index hasn’t solved all the country’s problems, of course. A recent U.N. World Happiness Report ranked Bhutan 97th world-wide. Factors like an income gap and unemployment partially accounted for that.”

At least the impoverished, unemployed peasants can enjoy the sublime inner peace of knowing they are carbon neutral.

[Yulee]

Probably one race, one religion, one dictator for life.

[pabianice]

Bhutan is a terrorist dictatorship.

How do they breathe?? That’s simple — They only inhale and never exhale.

[Innovative]

I thought that Finland was the happiest.
