Things that Denmark has contributed with:
- Carlsberg, the best beer in the entire world, the number one beer drinked by everybody even in the UK
- Lego, best entertainment in the world
- Best food in the world, lots of Danish restaurants even in the UK
Things that the UK has contributed with:
- Fat old men for thai women
I think Denmark wins, hands down.
Denmark is also more of a world power. Look at how much the elite soldiers of the kingdom of Denmark are contributing in Afghanistan while the British soldier do nothing. America knows that Denmark and Danish soldiers are amongst the best soldiers in the entire world.

British Discoveries:
DNA â James Watson and Francis Crickâs discovery in 1953 of the double helix structure of DNA, pictured below, the genetic code for all living things
Genetic fingerprinting â Alec Jeffreysâ development in 1985 at the University of Leicester of a reliable way to detect differences in individualsâ DNA
Birth of the first working computer â Freddie Williams and Tom Kilburn, two University of Manchester scientists, are credited with running the worldâs first stored programme computer
Contraceptive pill â developed by Herchel Smith, a researcher at the University of Manchester, in 1961
Cancer and cell division â in 1987, Paul Nurse and Tim Hunt, scientists for Cancer Research UK, became the first to identify the key genes that govern and regulate cell cycle and division
CDs, DVDs and the internet â these have all been made possible through a technology called strained quantum-well lasers, which was first proposed by Alf Adams at the University of Surrey
The Gaia hypothesis â James Lovelockâs development of a revolutionary way of thinking about the Earth with the idea that it is a self-regulating living organism
Eradicating the tsetse fly â scientists at the University of Greenwich have been working to eradicate the tsetse fly from Africa through the use of an artificial cow, which attracts the fly and kills it through insecticides
Stem cells â Research by Martin Evans led to the discovery of embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to grow into the different cells that make up the body
Microscopic footballs â Harry Kroto at the University of Sussex, and his US collaborators, revealed that carbon can exist as tiny spherical molecules

What are some cities to avoid living California?
grr
I want to live in california and close to LA. I would be doing acting and modeling, I know LA is VERY expensive, but I am looking for something a little cheaper, preferrably a two bedroom for 1000-1400.
what are some cities I should avoid living in? I looked at hawthorne and Gardena, I dont want to live in the ghetto, I know its very dangerous.
Answer
I think for now, you should just avoid California, period.
Did you ever consider the fact that LA is not the cheapest place in the world?
Coastal California is the MOST COVETED area which means MORE $$$.
Affordability does not exist in Los Angeles. Starting prices begin at around $1000+/mo. and that's usually for a studio in a somewhat decent area. And those luxurious, modern looking condos you see in the movies and television programs are not common in a typical Los Angeles neighborhood. Common condos/apartments/studios in Los Angeles are old, ghetto-looking buildings, and those do not come cheap at all as mentioned above.
Jobs are also nonexistent at the moment. Unemployment rates have jumped to 13% so good luck finding a job. Even if you find a job, that job will barely pay the rent (or not even come close to paying the rent.)
Keep in mind you do NEED to buy groceries, hygiene products, clothes, gas, electric, water, insurance, car, etc. and none of that is going to be cheap neither. Also, you're going to need to save money for doctor visits and need to keep money in case something critical happens to you (you'll never know!)
Speaking of cars, you NEED a car in order to live in Los Angeles. The roads in Los Angeles are not bicycle friendly and things are not conveniently located, unfortunately. The insurance for the car is not going to be cheap since the rate in Los Angeles are high and the gas prices are going to make you want to move back to your hometown.
Also, keep in mind that there is NO SUCH THING as a "safe" place. You can live in a "safe" place and still have a looney neighbor that decided to get drunk and run over an innocent child playing outside with his car or a guy that has beef with another guy in your neighborhood and decides to pop a glock on his head.
And moving here to be an actor/actress is one sure way of saying, "You'll either be back home, in pornography, or dead on the streets in a few moths - to a year." There are literally MILLIONS of people who flock to Los Angeles for that dream and only less than 0.5% actually make it and only a small fraction of the millions that come actually have LOADS of experience.
Moving to Los Angeles is NOT going to increase your chances of becoming an actor/actress. All it means is that you live there. PERIOD. Take Fred as a perfect example. He's still currently living in Omaha, Nebraska and he's already got a contract with Nickelodeon.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake got contracts with Disney in the 90s and neither of them were living in California.
Usher started his career while living in Atlanta, GA.
Justin Bieber got launched in Canada.
Zac Efron already had his history and he was living in a small town of San Luis Obispo, CA then later in Arroyo Grande, CA (both are 200+ miles away from LA) while he was building up.
Also, major studios PREFER acting experience. If you have no experience, you can just forget about it. Those who have been acting since they were wearing diapers have a pretty slim chance, let alone those who now potty trained.
So please, spare us the details on how you want to live in Los Angeles, CA to become an actor/actress. The best way to do this is to get established at home and then when you get into bigger and better things, you can make the consideration of moving to Los Angeles.
