1300 Unopened Fry's Rebate Forms Found In Dumpster

Good at following orders?
:).
What are you doing working for a rebate company? Try the Mafia next time, even if they are a bunch of crooks they have some honour.
You are like spoiled middle class twits who think everything you have is owed to you and you have no idea what your Daddy (that would be the U.S. in this analogy, idiot) has to go through to keep you in new shoes and unfiltered cigarettes. You only have the luxury of living in the soul-sucking welfare states you live in because the individual American worker produces and consumes enough to foot the bill. If it were not for our shielding you from the consequences of your stupidity you would have long ago sunk into war and depression under the weight of your ridiculous governments. Cheers
I only scored 35% on the Nerd Test, I'm sorry.
I'm not going to disagree with you - Denmark's a really wonderful country.
However, I will take a slight issue with your comparison. It's one thing to have a set of rules governing and supporting an homogenous* population of 5 million. It's entirely another thing to have a set of rules that apply to an ethnically and culturally diverse state of 300 million. Not just a matter of scale, there are intrinsic differences that make the problem far more than (only) 60x bigger.
Denmark
91% Danish descent - not simply by skin color, but from a common ethno-cultural background
83% of them are Lutheran
The US?
More than 31 ethnic groups number over a million members.
White 74.67% --- and this includes Danes, Germans, Swedes, British, Italian, Russian, French, Spanish, Hungarian, etc, etc, etc....
Hispanic 14.50%
Black 12.12%
Asian 4.32%
Indian 0.82%
Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 0.14%
Other/multiracial 7.92%
No, I envy your society in many ways. I live in Minnesota and while I'll probably be accused of being a racist for saying so, I believe a lot of the reasons Minnesota has (had) such a historically high 'quality of life' has been our overwhelming Nordic homogeneity as well...but now as we're absorbing ever-increasing numbers of Somalis, Hmong, and a host of culturally-foreign emigrants from Chicago, well, Minneapolis/St Paul is becoming just another shitty crime-ridden and emotionally empty American city.
