From what Country are the nicest people located?

Antarctica. But only the native population.

Minnesotans are reputed to be the nicest people on earth.

I think the Polish people are the nicest people on earth

Canadians are stereotyped to be nice, but since I haven't lived in any other countries, I wouldn't know if they are nicer

I'm from Canada, ain't I nice?

If you say no, then I'll rip your throat out!!!!!! *gets held back by cops....then beaten*

I think the Polish people are the nicest people on earth
Hardly. Almost every Catholic Pole I've spoken to has resorted to ad hominem attacks while debating religious issues.

People everywhere are cruel, miserable, disgusting beings.

Apparently not in Minnesota.

Not to mention that they along with Latvians are known for their homophobia...

Sounds about right to me. :)

Please, Fass, don't turn this into another homosexuality thread...

A very small minded attitude. Have you visited every country in the world? ;)

But you can strike out one country for sure, Austrians are a bunch of overbearing morons. (and I know that, I am Austrian)

They tend to be widely dispersed, and are in small numbers - some say they're in danger of extinction. They tend to avoid flocks, but can be found singly or in small groups in every country.

No. I suppose by that standard I don't know that people everywhere eat food and drink drinks and have sex either. ;)

Come up to Boston! Everyone here's friendly!

*applauds* hätts nicht besser sagen können ;)

btw: HUNGARIANS are the best, the sexiest, the most intelligent the most lovable people on earth. :cool:

There is no "nicest" country on earth, but I will agree with that one guy --- Minnesota has some ridiculously nice people (I knew two kids from Minnesota when I went to public school).

No. I suppose by that standard I don't know that people everywhere eat food and drink drinks and have sex either. ;)

Eat food? What about Ethiopians?
The entire population of the nation of Vatican City is celibate...
And... erm... Czechoslovakians don't drink anything, they live off sand. Prove me wrong. Ha! You can't because Czechoslovakia doesn't exist!

The Filippines.

In my experience, long-time stoners are very kind people.

Even if they smell and aren't too quick.

But that's not a nationality. Whatever.

Well, I rather like the Japanese. There are some bastards here too, like the governor of Tokyo, but I just ignore them.

I've always heard that the Japanese are pretty ardent racists/nationalists.

Eh... some extream right wingnuts exist, yes. The majority I have met though are not.

They have a belief that Japan and the Japanese are unique though, but are really nice for all that.

I'm Canadian, and I'll vouch for Canada being a pretty darn friendly country... AND I'll confirm that Minnesotans are great, too! It's one of the only states I visit (as it's really nearby).
Would love to go to Sweden, cuz I hear they're one of the few more socially progressive nations than my own. ;)

The Filippines.
youre right,they are about the nicest foreigners iv ever met

I couldn't really say, except to say which places I've been to do not qualify. Idaho doesn't qualify because while people will generally be very nice to you, half only do so out of the expectation that you will convert to Mormonism. If you make clear that you aren't going to convert, half will still be really nice to you, and the other half will be complete jackasses.

Nevada doesn't qualify because its the closest man has ever come to Ayn Rand's vision of utopia, and consequently is a hellhole if you aren't someone with the last name of Wynn or Goodman or incorporated.

I haven't been around other places enough to say that they are or aren't really nice places to live.

From what Country are the nicest people located?
From the USA, specifically North Carolina, more specifically Kernersville, and most particularly my family. :D

Eat food? What about Ethiopians?

Well, they have a bunch of kids don't they? Can't create more meat without getting it from somewhere.

The entire population of the nation of Vatican City is celibate...

Sure.

And... erm... Czechoslovakians don't drink anything, they live off sand. Prove me wrong. Ha! You can't because Czechoslovakia doesn't exist!

Good point.

HEY! That's not true at all, unless you're in Las Vegas.

But Northern Nevadans can be pretty good and nice folk, a little strange, but you have to be to live in Northen Nevada in the first place.

Eh... some extream right wingnuts exist, yes. The majority I have met though are not.

They have a belief that Japan and the Japanese are unique though, but are really nice for all that.

You know, my Malaysian family has pretty much banned me from marrying anyone Japanese because 'they don't treat their women right.' Or anyone Indian for that matter. Or Muslims. Pretty much anyone who's not Malaysian-Chinese, all for the same reason too.

I have a pretty racist family come to think of it.

The Japanese are quite nice though, but my knowledge of Japanese people is really little, pretty much just my stepfamily. But they were sweet.

This is a tough one because almost all of the places I have been the people are very friendly. If I were to have to choose though, I'd have to say Panama and Cosa Rica stand out as the most friendly with Israel running right along side them.
In the US and Canada there are just too many places to count with some great people, however I was most pleasantly surprised by my treatment from more people in Baltimore MD and Pasadena TX than any of the others.

Ironically, my Japanese fiancee is engaged to me for the same reason though. ;)

Most of the Japanese folks I have met are very nice and are willing to put up with an American who doesn't know what he's doing.

Who are the nicest people on Earth?

The Amish

Norwegians are the nicest, and if anyone says different, we'll kick them in the teeth!

well its definately not the Swiss. Yodalling Nazis.

The residents of Charleston S.C.

Its commonplace for strangers to walk up to you, and engage in polite conversation.

Its "the most polite city on the planet" , voted by some such magazine or another.....probably an american one at that.

Been there.

Its true.

The French.

The French.
*chokes on breakfast* seriously????

*chokes on breakfast* seriously????

:D I couldn't resist. Then again, so far I only met very nice and friendly French, both in France and over here in Ireland. Friendly and very witty.

I always thought the Irish were up there with the nicest. Although they aren't always that keen on us....

Ah well... they can get pretty nasty, too. But you can always be sure that it's nothing personal, even if they should happen to beat you black and blue :D

actually... i'm told that the SUN people, (some call them "Bushmen") are the nicest people on earth...


people here in Oddvilles are not bad either

I actually have travelled a good bit of the world as a result of a former job.

I've been in Europe, Africa, Asia (east and west) and of course, North America.

I like the post earlier about them being spread thin and hard to find in large flocks.

Human beings are human beings whatever society they form. If one guy has a dollar (Euro, Dracma, Sheckel, Yen, etc) somebody else is going to want it. If someone does something nice for someone else, there's going to be at least one person standing by that doesn't understand why and that will then mock that person or try to take advantage of him/her.

The best thing is to make sure you're one of the nice ones an let the others kill each other over time.

It has to be Canadians. Who doesn't like Canadians? *shakes fist menacingly*

Tie between the americans and the french.

has anyone ever been to an arab coutry. they are all smiling and love to help a tourist...

italians....hmmm... o always have a blast with italians and germans

cypriots are just not into fighting with anyone

americans are crazy and adventerous.. i like dowing that

brazillinas love to party..

british always know how to chitchat about someone... and know how to make you happy from blue...

chinese...hmmm... you gotta admit that chinese are hillarious... just looking at them makes me giggle... then hearing them talking... i literaly lmao...same with indians with there famcy cartoony accent... hehe

french are so LIVE... they know how to enjoy life...

anyways these are my views..

Oddly enough, if you take two of the most arrogant and self-centered groups of people on the planet: The Americans and the French and mix them together, you get Cajuns. And Cajuns are just some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Outside Antarctica. :)

i always heard the australians were very nice, but i can't confirm from personal knowledge.

and since i'm proud of my country, i'll say the Irish, yay Ireland

anybody else here from the emerald isle?

Ah well... they can get pretty nasty, too. But you can always be sure that it's nothing personal, even if they should happen to beat you black and blue :D


Well that will make nursing my teeth all the more comforting to know that its just because I have an English accent!

(I was a bit afraid of visiting Ireland for that reason.... Am i being a plank for thinking that?)

Cajun is short for Acadian. Acadians are old-school French Canadians.

On the other hand, being Canadian, I won't stand for this "Canadians are nice" crap. It's not that we're nice, it's that we're polite and genial to your face. Pure interpersonal politics. Whatever's said behind your back, or jammed into your back, is fair game. I may just be speaking for myself.

You are. You'll find that most people in the Republic don't actually mind the English to much, don't be paranoid about it :)

Come up to Boston! Everyone here's friendly!

Ha! What Boston do you live in?

I always thought the Irish were up there with the nicest. Although they aren't always that keen on us....

I doubt most Brits would agree with that. :D

I've yet to meet a Brazilian that wouldn't offer me the shirt off his back if I needed it. They seem to me to be the most generous people, if not necessarily the nicest.

chinese...hmmm... you gotta admit that chinese are hillarious... just looking at them makes me giggle... then hearing them talking... i literaly lmao...same with indians with there famcy cartoony accent... hehe

I don't find myself that funny. :).

Of course, I do have an American accent.. Strangely.

You are. You'll find that most people in the Republic don't actually mind the English to much, don't be paranoid about it :)

LOL Thanks people! This is why I love being part of this internatioonal forum, my eyes have been opened to how much you can learn from people of countries where all you reallyknow is mainstream stereotypes, so this is a thankyou to the Irish people for assuring me my teeth remain in my head if I visit - and thanks to everyone American, Canadian, Australian, EVERYONE who have opened my eyes to how the world works in different places as to how I THOUGHT it worked...

To me - you are ALL friendly! :D :D :D

I don't find myself that funny. :).

Of course, I do have an American accent.. Strangely.

I do.

*points and laughs*

I do.

AHAHA.

I guess I am kinda funny... LOOKING.

hahahahaha

that always gets me, for some insanely idiotic reason.

Oh!!!! A self-burn! The worst kind!

i always heard the australians were very nice, but i can't confirm from personal knowledge. Yeah, we're pretty friendly. But usually only to your face. Behind your back we cut you down. Aussies also suffer a major case of "Tall Poppy Syndrome", if you are different or successful then expect ridicule.

Actually, if you are anything in Australia, expect ridicule.

Especially if your ENGLISH!!!

*HA here I go with my paranoia!*


Actually as I've spent 3 perfect weeks in OZ I know thats not the general case.... :)

Who are the nicest people on Earth?

Italians...disagree at your own risk! :D

My two stops in Australia were quite enjoyable. I was in Perth and Sydney.

Only one incident marred my time there when some prowling teens stole my hat when I wasn't looking. They were nice too, just sneaky.

Italians...disagree at your own risk! :D


You know what I like about Italians?

When was the last time you went inside an Italian household, and made it out without being given anything to eat, and not being allowed to say no?

Never happens.

Well, in the US, I'd have to say that Minnesotans definetly rank pretty high (no false modesty here...I was born in that state. :) )

I thought everyone in Syracuse, NY was very nice, as well as Columbus, Ohio and Austin, Texas.

As for the rest of the world, my experience is limited, but Italians and Czechs are very nice.

Of course, there are nice ones everywhere you go...the key is to get to know only those people. :)

As no one has ever put them on top: the Germans!!!

Contrary to the stereotype of some imperialistic Bavarian nazi jack*ss, they are rather nice people, and quiete honestly, I can't say I've ever met nicer people...

Not even my dearly beloved Russians, and most defenitely not the English or the French. :D

And yes, mein Deutsch ist ja viel besser als mein Englisch... ;)
My French and Russian are even worse, though. Especially my French ;)

The people of South Croydon, specifcly Sanderstead. Come visit if you do not believe

My husband and I were stationed in South Korea some years back - the people there where absolutely lovely! Children are revered there and always safe. If I got on a bus with my two daughters a couple of older ladies would always hold them and make sure I got them back when it was my stop. Any attempt to speak Korean (no matter how badly I mangled it) was met with encouraging smiles - people greeted us on the street and tried to feed us watermelon, kimchi and other treats. I'm from Ohio and most fellow Americans think we are pretty nice here - but I'd move to Korea (or Scotland cause I love their accents lol) in a heartbeat. :D

i think aston villa fans are the nicest people in the world. ok, maybe scandanavian people. homosexuals the least nice (and thats not just because im homophobic, honest!) :rolleyes:

You lie! They are monsters...MONSTERS I tell you!! :mp5:

I should know what those people are like - I live there too!

*Small world eh?*

obviously Scottish people are the nicest (Glaswegians to b precise)

Really? Ok then what school is Elmfield way near?

Us up here in the freezing hellhole are pretty nice, so come to Scandinavia! In winter, you can stay at a hotel where you´ll never see the sun! Go to Stockholm and see all the busty blo... Sorry, my mind wandered a bit. Anyway, us is nice, and we´re good at english, too!

(Yes I know it´s "we are". Shu...lalalala)

My country.

Thats all this thread is asking is what country everyone is from

My country.

Thats all this thread is asking is what country everyone is from

Not really, I'm from China but I said the Japanese.

The Chinese can get preetty annoying sometimes, but then again, so can everyone else.

From the places I've been to (In Europe and America) I'd have to say the Irish and Americans.

My country.

Thats all this thread is asking is what country everyone is fromHmph. Besides the Bavarians, Germans tend to be very grumpy and unfriendly... :p

Eat food? What about Ethiopians?
The entire population of the nation of Vatican City is celibate...
And... erm... Czechoslovakians don't drink anything, they live off sand. Prove me wrong. Ha! You can't because Czechoslovakia doesn't exist!

Speaking of which, a person born in the Vatican, because of strange complications, would he be a:

Vaticanian
or
Vaticanese?

I say I am the nicest person on earth, if nice meant evil. The nicest country is...one of the small citycountries that only a few people live. Since humans are naturally evil, and they have the smallest pops, they are the least evil countries.

Please, Fass, don't turn this into another homosexuality thread...Homophobia is very topical for this discussion. If you don't like Fass referring to homosexuality, don't read it.

I would either go with

Various citycountrys
Germany
Ireland
Italy
Russia
Norway

Not all people see the name of the poster (like me), since we scroll to the right in order to read the whole post, besides homosexuality has almost nothing to do with this thread.

Really? Ok then what school is Elmfield way near?

Iam sure its Croham Hurst.... Thats cos its the only school I know in that rough area without looking at a map!

Friesland :D

Not all people see the name of the poster (like me), since we scroll to the right in order to read the whole post, besides homosexuality has almost nothing to do with this thread.Remember that this thread is titled "Who are the nicest people on Earth?". Whether people are homophobic or not plays a role in whether they are nice or not.

The nicest people on earth...I am speaking from my own experience and thats all that anyone can do really, the nicest people on earth are my three children, my wonderful boyfriend (he is Canadian) my neighbours, my friends and the nurses at the hospice who cared for my Mum while she was dying....noone has ever been nicer to me for no other reason than they are good people...makes no difference what country you come from..people from all over have good hearts.

Looks like nobody is takin this thread seriously on the first page

I nominate the people of Denmark. I was on holiday in Florida about 10 years ago and I *still* remember that time like it was yesterday because of the *wonderful* people I met at my hotel from that great country. That, and Rebilt National Park is the only place in the world outside sovereign U.S. territory that *celebrates* the American Independence Day (4 July).

I have been in Cophenagan Denmark at the Airport to Poland the people are to nice.

Some of the nicest people I've met are Germans, well German tourists in Spain at least... they'll help you out if you have a problem and will invite you for dinner afterwards, while all English tourists I´ve met will just ignore you, and that's only when they're behaving at their friendliest... :p

Actually, of all the Germans I've met in Spain, only one was a real jerk. He had named his vacation house `Casa ICH´ and had put a giant German flag on the roof, and he´d come out and scream at you if you walked your dog even 5 metres away from his property... needless to say, the sidewalk in front of his front garden became my dog´s favourite "sanitary" location... :D

The Philippines, without question. Or Canada.

It can't be divided into countries. I know this from experience. People from Northern California tend to be selfish *****s, and general *******s. However, I noticed that people from Southern California tend to be nicer.

All the Canadians I've met have been nice :) The Enlish are nice enough, as well. Most of the jerks I've come across online have been from America :confused:

The Polish. Especially if you speak in Polish.

Country italianos. We all have the philosophy of love everyone.

Not India, they're home to the greasiest people.

I Live in Minnesota, and People are passive agressive rather than actually nice. I've been around and the australians by far are the most friendly(sometimes cloyingly) people in the world.

Kiwis

Friesland :D
I second it.

Uhhhh thanks, I guess :confused:

my home land greece. most of the ural areas are poor areas of greece,but even if they are poor they will still through a banquet for any guest.

Greek people are nice so are Romanian

i think there isnt one certain place that has nicer peeps than others just nice peeps that make it seem that way :D

The midwestern United States.

I heard people in south United States are very nice

And... erm... Czechoslovakians don't drink anything, they live off sand. Prove me wrong. Ha! You can't because Czechoslovakia doesn't exist!

I like it. :cool:

Not to mention that they along with Latvians are known for their homophobia...

Polish, too?!

I'm Latvian, and Fass's statement about Latvians is entirely true. Very widely known phenomen.

But (living near them) Polish certainly are not the nicest nationality. Very far from that.

My vote would go for Americans, because they are so naive

cypriots are just not into fighting with anyone

Err...? What's this whole Greek-cypriot/Turkish-cypriot thing about then?? That's not really fighting then is it?

Kiwis are a pleasant people.
