The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an “unincorporated territory†of the US. The United States Supreme Court defines it as “a territory appurtenant and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States". It can still be considered for a survey on happiness...just as any other country, island and territory should...stop being haters...learn something from the survey and try to be a little 'happier' maybe the US can keep from becoming number 50 on the list....

What can I say. I am speachless. PROUD of my country and my people. Just came back from PR 2 weeks ago, and started missing my beautifull country as soon as I step into the plane. And when I said "MY COUNTRY" it is because we are our own country. Yes we do have a commonwealth with the US, and we all are US citizens, just like the US Virgin Islands, Guam and Surinam. But like my partner said we have our own Constitution, language and culture, and according to this the 2nd happiest country in the world. GO PUERTORICANS.

Puerto Rico is it's own country!!! It is a commonwealth of the US just like the US Virgin Islands, Surinam and Guam. They have thier own constitution, Olympic team, and some of the most beautiful people in the world. (Physically and mentally) They are proud people that take pride in thier culture. I have been there and wanted to move there ever since. When I leave the city that I live in the US, since I have been there, Puerto rico is the place that I choose to go. Beautiful Beaches, nice weather and a respect for man and nature is my favorite things about Puerto Rico. No more racist Bullsh*t, No more winter and no more bitter unhappy people like here in the US. One of the 1st things I said to my partner when I visited there for the first time was Damn these people seem to be happy and content here.

Duh! Puerto Rico isn't a country. It's a possession of the US.And I know too many Columbians to believe this poll. More left wing, anti America propaganda. Why does everyone want to come to the US if it is so bad? And why do all these people who hate the US stay here? Let them all move to Columbia, or Iceland, NOW!

But we (USA) are number one in many other things, such as drug addicts, incarcerated people, alcohol and cigarette use, these things are because we are free to choose...however, we make many wrong choices ....we are the only remaining "super power" because of our military, but i'm afraid after this administration that will be gone also...God help us !!!

Americans are so unhappy because we have no time for happiness. We are constantly on the move and we don't take time to take in the world around us.
