Your Country

[Stardust]

United States of America

- What do you like about your country?
The diversity in environments.  You don't have to travel outside the country to find someplace different.

- What do you dislike?
The Electoral College.  We call ourselves a democracy, but we have someone else vote for us.  WTF?
Corruption in government.  One of the democratic superdelegates said he'd vote for whomever gave him the most money.  Well, at least he's being honest...

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
Australia.  It sounds so much peaceful than the U.S. and they already speak English, so I'd probably love it there.

- What country would you/do you like to visit?
I'm not much of a traveler, but I do like going to Canada when we're in the northern part of Vermont.

america

What do you like about your country?
pretty much everything, but mostly the history. we don't have the THOUSAND YEARS OF ANGLO-SAXON DEVELOPMENT bullshit like europe but that's alright because we skipped all the faggotry of CASTLES and the renaissance and shit and got straight to the ass-kicking and subjugation of native peoples. also despite the huge number of faggots here we still destroy everyone else regarding pretty much everything and everyone depends on us in one way or another so yeah fuck you guys.

What do you dislike?
there's lots of stuff that TICKS ME OFF but really the only thing i DISLIKE is shitty broadband rollout. there are lots of areas that have no highspeed whatsoever and the areas that do generally have like three overpriced companies to choose from. seeing as everything is going DIGITAL now it's really shit to not have affordable universal highspeed.

What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
america's the only country that really matters as far as i'm concerned but iceland would be pretty dope too.

What country would you/do you like to visit?
anywhere would be cool, really. countries of particular NOTE are sweden and japan.

note: my desire to visit japan stems solely from the fact that their experimental music scene is totally badass. it's like MECCA. i mean these are the guys that pretty much INVENTED NOISE and onkyo-kei is tight too (sachiko m, toshimaru nakamura, etc). everything else japanese is pretty much complete shit (games, television, pretty much all forms of media) but the experimental music scene is rad.

@ Darkfire : yeah i dont think you got any right to complain about gas prices. in canada we pay $6.18 so yeah

Damn it...  I knew I should have replied after I saw Venetia's post.  If anyone cares to check my original post, they would notice that I said I do know gas costs more elsewhere.  You don't have to keep rubbing it in. 

I was complaining because it really sucks when you work minimum wage, commute 20 minutes to half an hour to work and school, pay $500-600+ a semester on books, and have to cover whatever my Stafford Loan doesn't pay on tuition since my parents went into major credit card debt (and seriously fucked up their credit) putting my five year elder sister through college (in-state, I might add.)

Gas is higher in other countries, and there are probably people in situations similar or worse than mine, but that is where I am.  If you don't think I have the right to complain about higher gas prices in jolly old Canton, Ohio, then fuck you.

btw, isn't the Canadian dollar still worth less than the American?  I know the gap has closed a bit , but... (apparently it has changed a bit since 100.00USD is equal to 101.23CAD)

its changing alot. one day our money worth more. the next yours is worth more

- What do you like about your country?

Underage drinking is socially acceptable. We have Gaelic (Its like extra violent rugby) Hurling (It's like...uh...screw it just watch for yourself http://youtube.com/watch?v=AM-kB1e96CA , that explains it, the description in the video calls it "'field hockey in the air,' 'brutal field hockey,' 'like lacross but with solid sticks' etc.")
All the drinking leads to lots of sex. Also we've got some pretty decent traditional music.

- What do you dislike?

Fat american tourists who think they're Irish.

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?

I'm assuming that Ireland isn't an option for this since I already live here so I'm gonna say Australia.

- What country would you/do you like to visit?

Antarctica, it would be cool to go there, just so I can say I've been.

- If you're not a native English speaker, where/how did you learn to speak English?

I kind of am a native english speaker, I learned both english and Irish at the same time while I was growing up.

Seconded!
But one question Iceplosion how is gaelic football worse than rugby?

Okay then again Im half and half and I live in Northern Ireland...

But i Do count myself as Irish for 2 reasons.

1: We Along with Wales and Scotland and Ireland hate the fuck out of the english most of the time. (And therefore call ourselves Scottish or Welsh or Irish instead of British)

2: It seems oblivious to nearly everyone outside of Ireland and Northern Ireland, that Northern Ireland even exist except for a select few educated people (this just booted out any replies saying how I am being an ass for saying everyone is stupid).

3: And thirdly when your Irish you can be a complete dick, I mean you can hack to death someones familly, set fire to the house, Cut off their legs and make them drag their bloody stumps out of the burning Wreckage and while they are watching you casually bone what remains of the bottom half of their sister while they are bleeding to death. But as soon as you open your mouth and speak that beautiful Irish Accent they always forget about it and say "Awk, its alright mate"

I don't know if you were being serious or not, But skipping the faggotry castles etc, and ditching thousand years of anglo-saxon Development. you say it like its a good thing and it is in ways, and the ways i mean is that you can go have a romp behind the bike sheds and not end up missing much in history.

It is not good though when it comes to polotics and country to country polotics, as america is a relatively new country they still haven't worked out that the rest of the world has allot more experiance, when it comes to those type of things. Like etc: America thinks because it has the most money that it knows the right answers to everything and they therefore try to impose their morals and ways of life on other undeveloped countries which in hignsight sounds good but infact isn't because the countries they try to impose these ways of life on have thousands and thousands of years of religious history. And therefore end up pissing off that country and the rest of the world.

Im sorry that wasn't meant to be a go against america I just thought the remark was rather Ignorant and so i wanted to correct him on a few things.

ps:
Wow the Americans really do invade every place they come across digital or otherwise...

I'm sorry that was a cheap shot.

But remember I'm Irish, I'm a dick.

Yeah it's like the geeks uniting at school against the cool kids.  You know, like where they have a secret HQ.

 

[zornsthorne]

Actually probably more like the poor kids rebelling against the rich and posh. lol

who...who..

 

[zornsthorne]

Hey as i said i didnt mean to offend or have a go at america, I know allot of americans, I like them, They are good friends of mine. As i said i just thought the comment was a bit ignorant about current affairs and decided to share my view.  And the last bit was a joke. But again it is just a point of view, and it is personal to me.

 

[iceplosion]

But one question Iceplosion how is gaelic football worse than rugby?

Worse? I said more violent, that's not worse, that's better.

Yeah it's like the geeks uniting at school against the cool kids.  You know, like where they have a secret HQ.

and that's not petty at all. XD

 

[zornsthorne]

I didn't mean worse, i meant it in the way as there are worse accidents.

- What do you like about your country?
The only thing that Uruguay has going for it is that...okay, it has nothing.
- What do you dislike?
Two things; everything, and anything that will help me get back to my real home; New Zealand.
- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
America. While I don't like the general superiority issues it has, I love the second ammendment. As I'm a guns enthusiast, and it is either illegal or near impossible to own the guns I want in New Zealand, I would really love to go there.
- What country would you/do you like to visit?
Brazil, Chile and Paraguay were pretty cool. I'd like to visit Korea, and learn a martial art. I'd also like to visit russia; they apparently have awesome strip clubs that allow touching, lol.

 

[CeruSkye]

Australia.

 

[DJ]

- What do you like about your country?
Korea had many fast-speed internet line. even my internet is 100MBPS.
Korea make most of IC chips using in the world. and also, Korea sell many Phones. So Computer and Phone is cheaper, and also internet cost is cheap, but fast and good.

- What do you dislike?
School education is too hard!!!
I heard US High schools ends at 3:40.
but our middle school ends at 4:30, and It's very far from home, SO when
I got home, It's 5:00 and In 7:00~9:00, I have an academy.
and there's no school bus. our law didn't allow it.

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
South Korea..

- What country would you/do you like to visit?
LOL anywhere safe and good...
I never been to abroad...

[Danny]

I love in central Scotland


- What do you like about your country?

The vast amount of chinese take aways and indians that surround most areas. The good solid decent people that'll joke about practically anything and aren't here to waste time, just to have a great jam packed life. The humour. Most of the slang. The scenery. The large shopping centres and cities. The endless amount of concerts and festivals. The university courses available.

- What do you dislike?

The neds/chavs specifically, they tend to waste things, the country would be better of if they got a life or we got rid. Not too sure if its true, but if alot foreigners think we're kilt wearin, red headed, red blooded, haggis chasing farmers. Some of the high school schooling system really annoys me too.

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
I don't really care where I live, I'm hardly patriotic so I'd move anywhere, given that I had my decent friends with me. Somewhere hot would do me fine.

- What country would you/do you like to visit?

I've visited quite a few places. Greece/Cyprus and Turkey are all quite nice places to go. Same goes for the Canarie Islands. I like to travel in general so touring the world is something I'd love. I guess I'll start with europe right enough.

 

[tofurkey]

US is Best

- What do you like about your country?
*The South. Namely, the Deep South. Specifically, Louisiana; more specifically, New Orleans. Texas is not a part of the deep south, btw.
*Quality baseball. All the scandal that's going on right now is really dumb and petty, and it's pretty irrelevant.
*American football. There's a lot dynamic athletes in this area. Geaux Saints!
*Diversity of culture. I'm a pretty diverse guy.
*Hip hop and R&B. Korea's barely in the picture, and Japan tries, but they just suck at it.
*Did I mention New Orleans?

- What do you dislike?
*New York and everything that spawns from it. Specifically, Long Island. You're not special; you're just a suburb.
*Bureaucracy.
*Idiots in general. There are a lot of people who, regardless of intelligence, are just plain stupid.
*Houston, Texas.
*FEMA, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, and George Bush.

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
*Probably Ireland or somewhere else up by Britain. No real reason, it just seems interesting.

- What country would you/do you like to visit?
*See above. Italy wouldn't be too bad, either.
