Like if you're a Brit or an Aussie, you have very good reasons to hate your own country. But, well, we don't say "death to America" for no reason either. This obviously isn't an issue for us Americans here, but I'm curious how you all see it.

Of course, the obligatory :amerikkka:

    Denmark is a horribly racist and nauseatingly self-fellating country that likes to think that it is paradise on earth and that the rest of the world ought to want to be like us but it doesn't have the material ability to do as much harm as the Great Satan so of course I hate the US more.

      Ugh I'm a little embarrassed to admit I once read The Danish Way of Parenting. As if the Danes have the market cornered on good parenting.

      (Though I'm even further embarrassed to admit I thought it actually had some good points)

          you send the uninheriting youth on a longboat for 4 years and hope they come back with booty and slaves or settle somewhere else :stonks-up:

          I don't remember most of it, mostly just an American lib thinking anything Nordic = better. The one part that I did remember and thought was useful - and I doubt this is just a "Danish" thing but idk - is to try and raise kids to understand the whole spectrum of emotions is good and healthy. Like you don't have to try and be "happy" or entertained all the time. Sadness, anger, melancholy, those are all ok too. That is something I do feel American kids are bombarded with at a young age.
