Cheer up, it might never happen

The World is angry and stressed says this article on the BBC website. Well no shit Sherlock. After Christchurch and Sri Lanka the World is angry and stressed. Well you do surprise me.  I'm always a wee bit sceptical about these polls, they never seem to interview enough people. In this one the telling words are these

"Of some 150,000 people interviewed in over 140 countries, a third said they suffered stress, while at least one in five experienced sadness or anger."

Of some 150,000 people in over 140 countries. Doesn't sound too accurate does it? That's an average of 1,071 peeps in each country. 

The Top 5 Countries with Highest Positive Experiences are Spanish Speaking and in Latin America. The Top 5 Countries with Highest Negative Experiences have either been ravaged by War or Civil War. Did they interview people in Palestine or the Gaza Strip I wonder. Syria? I can't imagine that they would have many positive experiences.

Greece had the most stressed population in the world with 59% saying they experienced stress on the day before the poll. 

"The concept of a democratic society, such as the one our country enjoys today, began in the Greek capital some 8,000 years ago. The city of Athens is sometimes referred to as the cradle of Western civilization." from the New York Post which is interesting because around 55% of US adults said they were stressed.

I haven't downloaded the Gallup Report which you can do here  for two reasons. I don't want my information processed, transferred and possibly stored on servers that reside in the United States and I don't really care about other peoples' happiness. I only care about my own.
