10 commandments of the law of Jante

Neurosis of Denmark

I just want you, that are NOT living in Denmark, know about the highest laws in Denmark - and maybe also in Norway. This is very opposed to some experiences, I had with people from the US, especially California. I got the impression, that people who started own business, were supported by the surroundings. Danish people can NOT praise other danes. It goes so much against their instincts. Danes love to bully and embarrass other Danes. It is the national sport of danes.
