FFS, a little rain and Lebanon turns into Atlantis!

Nonsense. Atlantis had technology at least on par with the Roman Empire. I see little evidence suggesting Lebanon has reached that level.

The cool Spike posts nice stuff and useful conversation.

Yeah, well if you listen to my high-school history teacher, we reached America before Columbus, invented trading and the alphabet (this one is actually true). All Italy has is a bunch of handsome men with long penises.

Mate, look at where I am and ask me again...

The only reason I didnt go to the beach with the rest of my friends is becasue my GF does not like sand (so stupid) and I would not leave her alone.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Please, you have to go the beach? Didn't you see that picture of the BMW? Here, the beach comes to you, mate!

Well then my people created the largest Empire in history.

I don't know about Finland but I do know that Japan has the highest suicide rates in the world

Yeah, Japan's one of the leading nations for committing suicide. It's even the main cause of death for people under the age of 30 there, IIRC.

Sure. Like Spike posted, Japan and a bunch of other countries have even higher rates but they do it for different reasons than our lot. Here everything is supposed to be great with one of the best education and healthcare systems in the world, not to mention them being completely free for everyone, no matter what your family's wealth or social status is. No one has to live on the streets because the government gives free money to people without jobs to get them back on their feet so one could assume everything is quite well here. In reality no one is ever happy and people have a shitload of problems with alcohol and other drugs and then they go and kill themselves when it gets even really depressing in winter time. I remember reading somewhere that the vast majority of suicides in Finland happen during those 4 months of the coldest and darkest winter period, so I'm not even making this sht up.

Can't wait till I graduate and find a job somewhere else, shouldn't even be a problem with the supposedly world class education we have here.

I remember, after the PISA exams last year politicians here in Austria would tell us that, in general, people in Finland are very happy with their lives, mainly because they've had such a good education at school

This whole suicide topic is still a taboo subject here, for example, it has never ever been discussed in my class at school which IMO is absolutely ridiculous.

I bet none of them have even visited this country, let alone ask the people who actually live here if they're as happy as they seem to think.
