They are right about Spain, you can get absolutely destroyed there for less than a fiver. That the Spanish don't generally do that is probably a good sign that sin taxes aren't a magic bullet.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

Someone should plot that list against blind gropers list of happiest nations. Seems like a lot of the same countries are in the top half of the table.

Nanny was the only woman I truly loved.
