The problem is that the counterpoint doesn't have very much to do with issue at hand. It's like a number of people read "Denmark" and thought "Let me tell you what is wrong with Denmark!". This is exactly the type of political discussions that should be avoided on HN, because when arguments are vague and with little relation to the article the quality of the discussion will suffer.
- mseebach 13y agoBringing Denmark up as a model country (as the OP does) is an inherently political statement. There is nothing "hack" about the BBC article. I agree this doesn't belong on HN, but one of the reasons politics on HN is so dangerous is that it's so easy to get dragged in - which I am clearly guilty of here.
