What is your *least* favorite country?

[Guy Fawkes]

(besides the US) I'd say Fiji. Not that I have anything against the island nation of Fiji, but I had to figure out what it represents in "The Truman Show" when I was writing a paper on it. (The movie, not the island; this was for Sociology)

[Placebo]

1. But Fiji Water Is So Damn Tasty!

but anways...

my least favourite: china.

I love chinese people and the culture, but the country just seems...scary.

[wickerwoman]

16. You should visit China some time.

It's not scary at all, apart from the motorcycles doing 50 mph on the sidewalks and the PSB guard booths on every block. :-)

Seriously though, I was a bit nervous about moving here, but it has surpassed my expectations on every single point.

Everything you think is true about China, is probably more true about North Korea. North Korea would scare the piss out of me.

In terms of countries I've visited, I don't have a least favorite. They were all great.

Countries you couldn't pay me to visit: Saudi Arabia, Iraq (for the moment anyway) and North Korea.

[Placebo]

18. I would love to go to Saudi Arabia!

But that's because I love middle-eastern culture, people, etc...

:)

[wickerwoman]

19. I love the food and it would be great to see Mecca

and horse racing, etc.

On the other hand, I have a big mouth and the odds would be pretty strong I'd end up stoned to death.

[Placebo]

20. But look at this way...

you'd be a shoe-in for a cameo in 'FAHRENHEIT 9/11 II" if that happened.

just a thought gotta find the positive man :shrug:

[RivetJoint]

30. Unfortunately, many of us are barred form entering Mecca N/T

[JohnKleeb]

2. *running* Great Britain

Irish Catholic here :P I am sorta kidding btw, I have British cousins by marriage now, still what were Jenny and Carrie thinking marrying british guys heh? If Pap Pap Keown were still around he'd be pissed heh. I dont really hate the British btw, just I hate what has happened in Northern Ireland, and can we for my sake not get in to that :D, thank you.

[D-Notice]

26. Some people...

They just can't take 800yrs of repression!

Get used to it! ;-)

[JohnKleeb]

38. ahh to hell with ya

At least you have a sense of humor about it, Pap Pap would be furious that his great grand daughters were marrying englishmen thats for sure :D.

[bloodyjack]

3. AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

j/k, actually my least FAVE country is Australia, cuz Australia sucks.

[JohnKleeb]

4. They have Elle McPherson though

Though yeah the Aussies are just weird. :D just teasing Aussie DUers, and I didnt really mean what I said about the british though I admit its silly ot have a queen.

[bloodyjack]

5. Around the time Martha Stewart was convicted for obstruction of justice...

the president of THE MARTHA FUCKING STEWART FAN CLUB was interviewed on the BBC and told the interviewer, "Just like the British have Queen Elizabeth, we in America have Martha Stewart...except Martha Stewart actually has a job!"

This guy totally needed to get punched in the mouth

[JohnKleeb]

7. you should have gotten me

I once had dreams of being a boxer.

[Tashi]

25. I really hope

mahay..I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down,

translation ..I hope your chickens turn into giant flightless birds and kick your john down.

An Aussie curse on you.

[TrogL]

6. Italy

God, the stench!

[bluestateguy]

8. Saudi Arabia

Visualize: THE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY IN JAIL!!!!

[onebigbadwulf]

9. France

The people are just mean.

[Placebo]

10. You take that back!

Viva La France!

[Donkeyboy75]

15. Didn't find that to be the case at all.

Well, except the waiters. And they were rude to everyone.

[non sociopath skin]

23. Sorry, wolf, but I find that a tad racist.

Yes, big city folk in France can be brusque and impatient. But I've seen some pretty provocative behaviour, not least by English speaking folk who seem to take it as a personal insult that, when in France, they're expected to communicate in French.

And much as I love NYC, I don't always find everyone there exuding the milk of human kindness towards visitors.

The Skin

[RivetJoint]

28. Racist?

French is now a race?

[non sociopath skin]

34. If you prefer, we could just call it bigotry.

The Skin

[German-Lefty]

24. Yeah, French piss me off when they refuse to learn languages

Chamonix's youth hostel made me hostile.
English - "no, no, no"
Deutsch - "no, no, no"
A youth hostel should at least have someone speaking English. I went snowboarding in Austria instead.

Why people won't speak languages:
Americans - no knowledge other countries exist
Italians - never learned it in school
French - just to be assholes (after all everyone in the world should have to learn French)

You'll get French that actually do speak another language refusing to, just to be mean. I have friends in Paris. I was going to learn French next, but now I'm making a point of it to learn Spanish instead. It's easier anyway.

[non sociopath skin]

33. So here was I in this Youth Hostel in the Schwarzwald a few years ago ...

and nobody spoke English and nobody spoke French and it was a damn good job I spoke some German.

Or maybe I should have tried Spanish?

12. i think my least favorite country

has got to be iraq.

[sasquatch]

13. Austria

They've only given us headaches like Hitler and Schwartzenneger.

[St. Jarvitude]

17. Hey, Austria is a beautiful country

Unfortunately, there are a lot of really strange neo-cons living there. :scared:

Then again, my homestay was with pretty rich private-school types (my host family owned a 4 star Apartment-Pension...), so my views may be a little skewed.

[jpgray]

32. I can think of two other Austria products

[T Bone]

14. Tonga

because if I moved there I wouldn't be eligible to be the king in a free and fair election.

[Baja Margie]

21. I'm gonna go with

Pakistan. Nothing like a Karachi double - dealer, holding out for those F-16's !

[praxiz]

22. Besides the US?

Wow .. tough one .. I guess I've always had it in for China (Get your ass OUT of Tibet!) and possibly Colombia (stop producing cocaine and kidnapping people).

Sweden is evil, by the way. No doubt about it. Being a Norwegian, I should know. Luckily we are up-wind :) I kid the Swedes! Söta bror!

[jdonaldball]

27. Surrey

oh, you said country, not county.
But Surrey just seems like a country all its own. :-)

[Zech Marquis]

29. besides the US?

you just had to throw me a curveball, huh? :evilgrin:

[terrya]

31. Saudi fucking Arabia. Our "dear friends"

[phillybri]

36. I'll second that one!

Fuck 'em...

[name not needed]

[JohnKleeb]

[Screaming Lord Byron]

41. I hate those smug mountie french fucks.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

42. You know, I was going to edit in an ironic wink there

but some weird glitch won't let me.

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

37. I hate America! because I'm a dirty, evil LIBERAL

just kidding..... I don't hate any country more than other ones. I hate them all equally :P

[Fleshdancer]

40. any country that would force me into a burka

I have a "when in Rome" mentality when visiting other countries and since my personal beliefs would clash with this practice, I won't visit.
