Comments on: Map of the day: The world’s most and least emotional countries http://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2012/11/28/map-of-the-day-the-worlds-most-and-least-emotional-countries/ Headlines from the Hot Air authors Sun, 19 May 2013 00:39:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Seth Halpern http://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2012/11/28/map-of-the-day-the-worlds-most-and-least-emotional-countries/comment-page-1/#comment-2203808 Seth Halpern Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:54:24 +0000 http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=230778#comment-2203808 I don’t find this poll terribly useful. Some cultures like to dramatize, others not so much. That doesn’t mean their people don’t feel comparable levels of emotion, just that they have varying willingness to admit to it. A stereotypical Brit or Scandinavian probably thinks it’s vaguely frivolous and even a bit pushy to tell you what he’s actually feeling, whereas even WASP Americans for nearly a century have bought into Freudian thinking which holds that you can literally hurt yourself by keeping a stiff upper lip. Of course Catholic countries are traditionally more tolerant of emotional expressiveness than Protestant ones. There’s probably a division across Africa along such lines btw. Muslims present an interesting case. Jihadists are big on days of rage, that much we know.

What’s up with WaPoo?
On slow news days, they dig up old stories?
Reruns to become prominent in the news industry?

Sounds like by “emotional” they’re referring to happiness.

Having been to the Philippines a few times before I married my wonderful Pinay (Filipina) asawa (wife), I know they are a very happy people. This is despite the poverty, governmental corruption, & natural disasters that plague the nation.
