Country differences

[Tarranium]

I was just wondering this because I found this one guy on these forums whos username is Kassa.
Here Kassa means a cash register.

And when I thought of it theres a lot of people here from across the globe so tell me whats special in your country?

In here also in many European countrys all the wheels in shopping carts turn.
Here we dont care if your from China or if you'r black.
For some ungodly reason, no matter what holyday all men get piss drunk.
We were part of world war 2
We are part of the Europian Union
We are neutral
Our president is a woman
Our prime minister is a woman
We have one black people representitive

(They question the goverment and ask the thing the people want to know)

We are like the Japan of Europe in technology
We are one of the top athelics
We have sort of perfect periods of the year, snow in winter wind in fall hot in summer and perfect during spring.


Now its your turn, tell the community about your country!
Sorry for some of my typing errors.

We have an african american president. Everyone cheered when it happened since he was the first, but no one is cheering now.

We have TV shows about people eating at great places in our contry.

We usualy get movies and games first for the most part, save for the ones made specificly overseas.




Just off the top of my head.

Our government is fail.

Our military will pwn you.

I would guess about 35% of the population are assholes.

There are a lot of fat people.

Per Random. US Gov't = Failtastic. US Military = Pure win, but has to play by the rules set by the assholish aforementioned gov't, thus reducing the amount of awesome they can bring to the battlefield.

Also, local governments here are hilariously inefficient. The city of Coos Bay is dealing with degrading roads, budget problems, a small police and fire force, and other nasty little things... So this year, instead of putting aside 2 or 3 million to help pay for our police force for the next several years, they put the money into a bloody museum. It's brand new, right on the waterfront. It's not grant money either, iirc, so they've no excuse.

We've already got 2-3 small museums in the area. Our economy is in the shitter because the local yokels charge such ridiculous taxes and extra fees that no business will bother setting up shop, and we've managed to chase away literally every business venture that wanted to come in here ever. [We've had a steel plant, an LNG terminal, and a Moller-Maersk terminal that all wanted to set up shop, but gave up, said 'FU Coos Bay/North Bend' and went elsewhere. The LNG terminal has all but given up, anyways.]

We lost our paper plant and one of our biggest timber mills thanks to the slump in the lumber market, so there's not enough demand to keep a big mill in business here. We've got barely any tourism, save for out on the Sand Dunes; that brings in craploads of people, but only generates revenue for a small percentage of local businesses iirc.

I could rant more, but what's the point? Point is, stupid stupid stupid.

Ever since we've elected Obama we've been hearing the same old phrase,
"You must construct additional pylons."

Canada, I love you you beaver-loving-poutine-slurping nation, but no one has commented on the fact that Canada invented apartheid?

Lol sup Indian Act. Let's segregate you guys and basically turn your lives into a mess of alcoholism and abuse.

I am in no way saying that this is true for every reserve and band in Canada, but sadly it is true for most. Port Renfrew, a small town on the Island, has one of the highest suicide rates in British Columbia or something. First Nations have a higher risk of committing suicide than other ethnicity. My mom gets called out to too many; it's incredibly sad.

Also:

Health Care in Canada is not free.
led by Keifer Sutherland's grandfather - the great Canadian Statesman and Baptist Minister, Tommy Douglas - we made a decision about what kind of people we are, and will be. So, regardless of the squawking objections of those ever-present ultra rich people and the doctors, we decided as a country and as a society that this is what we want. Universal health care.

Including every citizen in national health care is in no way 'Anti-capitalist'.

"To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature."

and,

"With the greater part of rich people, the chief enjoyment of riches consists in the parade of riches."

Who said this?

Adam Smith did.

The recent election of Jack Layton and the NDP as the national 'official opposition' speaks loudly to the fact that Canadians intend to keep things the way they are now. We will care for the basic needs of citizens within our borders. We do this happily, via taxation and insurance premiums.

We made a decision that this will be our way.

Health Care is NOT FREE in Canada. What a silly notion. We pay for medical services via taxation and provincial health plan premiums.

Like the good people of England, France, Germany, Australia and a bunch of other countries with the universal health care system, we are moderately confused about why Americans would be so angry, so insistent, so vehemently determined to choose to continue to pay massive (one friend told me - $1,100 monthly) insurance premiums for essentially the same care we receive for (I pay) $108 per month?

Every great country has the good, the bad, and the ugly.

When you owe people trillions, it tends to cancel that.
