Lebanon Not so Happy Country in World Happiness Report
Lebanon has ranked 93rd in a list of more than 150 countries in the 2016 World Happiness Report.
Denmark, closely followed by Switzerland, is again the happiest country in the world while crisis-torn Syria and Burundi are the most miserable, said the United Nations, which published the first such study in 2012.
The report seeks to quantify happiness as a means of making societies healthier and more efficient.
The authors said six factors -- GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, social freedom, generosity and absence of corruption -- explain almost three-quarters of the variation across different countries.
The report compared levels of happiness in 2005-2007, before the onset of the global recession, with 2013-2015, the most recent three-year period for which data from a Gallup World Poll is available.
Of the 126 countries for which comparable data was available, 55 had significant increases in happiness and 45 had significant decreases, the report found.

Why Lebanese are successful in foreign countries but not in their own country?
Because they are emancipated from the discrimination of the feudal system of Lebanon.

It's because the report is ordered by a Zionist-CIA-Free-Mason-Coca-Cola-Shawarma conspiracy.

Cutie;
The houthians have made all of us civilized people unhappy. Our index of happiness is similar to that of Houthia. The whales have migrated Cutie; the humming birds migrated, the honey bees, the rhinos migrated so did the once happy dolphins. Our beaches are full of toxic waste and our roads are filled with criminals.
Even the refugees are unhappy. Jannah and Firdous both Iraqian refugees are no longer happy in Lebanon and want to go on a boat to Merkel Land. Cutie; we must do something to eradicate the Houthians. My great grandfather bless his soul used to tell me: " Beautiful Norma, Houthians are like termites, you cannot get rid of them easily, you have to eradicate them with bleach". I am stocking up on bleach for this purpose cutie.
2 more days and I will leave Koh Samui after receiving my diving certification after which I can carry out under water missions against the houthians.

They need more than bleach dear @norma.

بالفيديو: الكذب امامك يا نصرالله
نشرت الإعلامية ماريا المعلوف على حسابها على موقع “تويتر” مقطع فيديو يقول فيه الأمين العام لـ”حزب الله” حسن نصرالله، إن ملك البحرين استقبل حاخاماً صهيونياً في قصره، وعلماء البحرين رموزها يزجّ بهم في السجون.
وفي الوقت نفسه يظهر القسم الثاني من الفيديو الرئيس الإيراني الأسبق أحمدي نجاد يستقبل وفداً من حاخامات اليهود.
هذا وعلقت ماريا المعلوف على الفيدويو الذي نشترته بعبارة “الكذب أمامك.. #ماريا_معلوف

I find it funny how the Hassbara trolls of the israeli propaganda machine race to comment on every single Lebanese news article, talking about things relevant to israel and irrelevant to the lebanese themselves.
For all those who do not know what hassbara trolls are, google it and u'll understand.
LOL... but they don't have a filthy militia.
