No, opinion piece = article devoid of facts, just presenting an opinion, which can be anything from a reasoned and well argued opinion from someone who has knowlege on a subject or just a spurious vehicle for vitriol.

Reliable news source = anything that sites source material that can be independently verified.

The sad thing is, you actually believe that what you posted is reliable and presents facts. That's a truly sad indictment of the US educational system.

Nonsense! We all know that everything on the interwebs is true!

I am pleased to note that you acknowledge that France is the best country in the world and that the communist states of Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and New Zealand are also ahead of the USA. We're well on the way making a good commie out of you, comrade.

You might consider taking the time to learn them all, instead of posting any links you find on the interwebs.

Having lived in Sweden myself, I find it interesting that the indices above do not mention the cost of healthcare and college education in Sweden.

Oh ye of little faith.

Statistics are the devil's work;)

A fact, eh? Got links to show how much better they (the Swedes) have it than I do?

Focus, focus. The debate is between Sweden and the US. Fact.

I admitted nothing. You, however, built an argument - at least in part - on a survey that puts France and 5 other communist countries ahead of the USA. That's quite telling, comrade.

The Swedes are happier than you. So says Forbes.

Sweden made # 4 in the list of the happiest places in the world. The US didn't even make the top 10.
