China: Quiet but can be easily batshit insane if provoked. Love a good helping of dog for dinner after a hard 40 hour shift at the factory that makes Apple products.

India: Quite snobby with pretense of intelligence yet end up running really dodgy takeaways in run down areas. Usually will fucking piss you off at helplines.

Pakistan: Same as India, but with Islam put into the mix.

Most Arab countries: Will fuck someone up for the most stupidest of things. Keen photographers but tend to be utterly shit at it, as shown in their infestation of Flickr. When not photographing deformed kids and acting like fucktards, will either become extremist and blow someone up or whine about how country A does not have sharia law.

US: The most pretentious, arrogant bolloxes around. A smart American is very rare. :dunno:

Israel: Intelligent but are very sensitive. Tend to whine about even people joking about jews.

Most of Africa: Tend to be really really stupid, unless they're a corrupt leader of a country such as Nigeria. Make the most godawful movies/TV programmes ever, as shown on African channels on Sky.

SPAIN
People shout a lot at each other and make lots of hand gestures.  They have no idea how to make a decent cup of tea. :thumbdn:  They are so lazy they  take a few hours off in the afternoons.  The men are very short and the women have big 'toshes and sideburns.  The national 'hobby' seems to be being particularly cruel to animals, especially bulls.  They also serve lots of watery beer in very small glasses.

It is also nice and sunny there all year round :zoinks: :zoinks:

Greece: pretty much like Spain and Italy but hotter in the south and different language.

Shleed, have you visited all the countries you have an opinion of?

I've travelled to places that I thought I wouldn't like, and it gave me a different perspective.

You miss the whole point of this thread.

Bigoted racism and being judgemental with other cultures or countries you haven't visited.

It's a fact that Americans are one of the most untravelled westernised cultures, and it shows by the narrowmindedness of the thread.

I get the point of the thread Schleed...opinions based on ignorance.


Schleeed is not an American, as far as I believe what he has posted for a couple of years.

I also believe that the reason he chose to NOT include American bashing as a part of his original post, may truly be that he has little experience with Americans in his travels.

As a proud American, I must admit to only having traveled in North America and South America (although quite extensively, mind you, and over two decades time). Sorry, but "down under" is still on my Bucket List of things to do before I die. (I have only known three natural born Aussies and two Kiwis in real life, outside of a day or two with several dozen others who were traveling to America to promote their music, but that is another story.)

As much as it seems popular these days to "hate"  the French, I enjoyed France most, but mountainous areas of Spain would be where I would chose to live, if I was running from American authorities and could NOT actually afford to buy a whole island in the Caribbean. 

Otherwise, give me a cabana near an ocean shore that faces west just about anywhere, a pole to use for fishing, enough wood for a fire and I will be happy and supportive with whoever else lives there.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Venezuela: like southern Europe but hotter, cheaper and surprisingly more friendly people.

Holland is gorgeous.  America is big.  Poland is depressing.

You are quite sensitive about this. This thread is for a laugh, its not meant to be correct.

I'll leave the people of said countries to reply if they get offended, not some past white bint that is obsessed with political correctness.

I'm not obsessed with political correctness. Maybe if your thread is meant to be humourous, you should try making your take the piss slants on countries to be actually funny. So of course I just read it as one of your narrow minded rants. My bad.

Well taking the piss out of my OWN country made it pretty obvious. However, I do believe most of the Scandinavian people are bloody insane. :dunno:

I didn't mention the US at the start because I simply forgot. :zoinks:
