in responce to some comments made here, (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=476360) it is nessesary to ask the question "Which nation is Kanabia most like?"

As of now, I am partial to Quebec. Whiney and self-centered, with a hint of balls.

I was going to say France, but did Kanabia ever have a time when he was the top dog?

No. He cannot even have a thread about him without it fading to the back between each post.

Well, then he can't be France, Germany, Russia, China, Japan, Mongolia, any of the Scandinavian nations, the US, Spain, Italy . . .
*goes on and on*
I guess Kanabia can be Turkmenistan: Internationally irrelevant, but everyone who knows about him thinks he's vaguely amusing.

I reckon New Zealand. ;)

Kanabia always reminded me of Bananas.

Durka-Durkastan.

Quebec's not even a nation. But you're right about the whining and balls.

Quebec isn't a country, but it's most certainly a nation. Look up the UN's definition of the term "nation".

Cool it, cool it. We don't want the Quebecois to get even more uppity. They've been sour ever since the Nordiques left and turned into a GOOD team.

Hey, you're talking to a Quebecois right now, you know :rolleyes:

Although I'm not bitter about the Nordiques: I never really cared about Hockey. Still, he was right about the whining and balls, though, so that's 2 out of 3.

Snazzy, I live in New Brunswick. We have a nice contigent of the whiny and ballsy here, too.

Maybe we do have more in common with the rest of Canada than meets the eye at first :-p

Anyway, I don't think much of the conservative government's platform, but there's one good thing to be said about them: if they really go for this "open federalism", they'll have done a whole lot of a better job at keeping us Québécois into this country than the liberals have done in the last 20 years.

But 'nuff said, I've already hikacked this thread too much. So, um, yeah, he's like Quebec all right.

I reckon New Zealand. ;)
Well, I reckon Australia - friendly and cheerful but loud mouthed, opinionated and obnoxious when drunk and annoyingly bloody good at beating people in various sports.

opinionated and obnoxious when drunk

Have you EVER seen a drunk Quebecois? They sell 8% beer at the gas station, for crying out loud!

If you do happen to come in contact with a drunk Quebequois, I recomend machong the french language. The Quebequois have always had a soft spot for that type of humor.

That is a COMPLETE AND UTTER LIE.

I'm terrible at sports.

See, I was right. You are Quebec.

No, I can't be.

I hate the cold, I don't eat cod, my French is atrocious, and I have never clubbed a seal.

(And I don't consider myself particularly whiney or obnoxious, and actually, I don't really care if anyone else does, so there.)

You'll have to keep trying, methinks.

You're Spain!
You like rain on the plain, as well as interesting architecture and a diverse number of races and religions. You like to explore a lot, but sailing, especially in large groups, never really seems to work out for you. Beware of pirates and dictators bearing bombs. And for heavens' sake, stop running around bulls! It's just not safe!

WTF? That website said I was the country of Kanabia.

You like rain on the plain...
If only rain ever actually fell on the plains.

Mariehamn is Canada!
People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've got a much better life than they do. In fact, they're probably just jealous. You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and others. If it weren't for your weird affection for ice hockey, you'd be the perfect person.

Whoa. That quiz says I'm Cambodia. What the fuck's up with that?

The questions change depending on the answers one chooses, and Canada has mysteriously transformed into Iraq...

ha...depending if I'm feelind disciplined or not, I'm either Spain or Brazil. And the day I hated soccer (my team lost) I ended up being texas:confused:

You're Michigan!
You really love cars. In spite of their environmental hazards, the value of public transportation, and their total lack of safety, you want nothing more than to spend time in and around cars. This has brought you to the brink of financial ruin and total despair, but the joy of the cars still outweighs your difficulties. Would it really kill you to use less gasoline? You are a truly incredible singer.
Does the rest of the US know anything about Michigan other than cars?!
Yes, I realize that these are all generalizations. Big, ugly generalizations.
What is up the singers?! *doesn't understand*

singers=motown and the huge number of artists who call detroit home.

oddly enough, i got CT, and they claimed that we call our cities "fords". I've never heard that in my 19 years.

yeah, it depends...I've taken that quiz about a dozen times and gotten four answers. Tonight, seeing as it is 2:30 and I wanted to be in bed by midnight, I voted for no discipline.

simgers=motown and the huge number of artists who call detroit home.
Guess that is true. Never really considered it note worthy. *shrugs*

I was going to say Aus, but I thought that it was a bit obvious.

You're Thailand!
Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

Woohoo! Thai girls are sexxxyy.

I didn't know I managed to attract tourists and admirers are certainly thin on the ground. As for sexual promiscuity...I wish I had the chance.

You're Fiji!
As calm, relaxed, and removed from life as they come, you're just so chilled out, it hurts people to see you. Everyone aspires to be where you are, but most of them just can't put their stress away. Little do they know that even you sometimes have inner turmoil and struggles! For the most part, though, it's sun and fun for you, and that's the way you like it. It's just sort of hard to get things done with all that partying.

Whoa. That quiz says I'm Cambodia. What the fuck's up with that?
Hey, no dissing, please, I'm Cambodia, too.

You're Cambodia!
Life's been really rough, but it's slowly improving. You know way too much about the skeletal structure of humans, mostly from being forced to study it. This has given you a fear of many things, most especially the color red. The future has to be more promising though, and your greatest adversary can now never come back to hurt you any more.

I like the bolded part for the sheer desperation of how it's phrased. All that's missing is a pleading "Right? Right?" :p


Oh, and I'd say Kanabia is Finland. He doesn't say very much, keeps his emotions to himself, stays mostly inside his dark room :p - and in there, it's a whole different picture full of weed and booze and silliness and melancholic desperation. (Eh, I just had to put in the desperation to make it look more Finnish :p)
Oh, and Topher - if you're going to say "But I hate cold!", just shove it, or I'd have to start thinking they were right about the "whining". :p


Also, they changed the smileys again. Fluffles are back in sight, but now the grinning one is gone. Who comes up with that shit? Why don't they ever put the stupid guns and upyours down into the black hole?

How bad can you really be? So many people have said so many bad things about you, but you know they can't all be true. Not even most of them. You went a little crazy for a while, but now you're just getting older and tired of all the nasty stuff people think about you. You could use a little more money and you really wish people wouldn't keep leaving you for richer people, but other than that, things aren't so bad. You really like used military clothing.

LMAO - I love it. Winner!
Oh, shuddup. You just love it because it has weed and booze and let's you stay inside. :rolleyes: :p

They're phasing out the friendlier smilies to see how long it takes until we go at eachother's throats...

Thailand baby! not sure about the sexual promiscuity issues, but can cook a meal so good it'll make people cry :)

Oh, shuddup. You just love it because it has weed and booze and let's you stay inside. :rolleyes: :p

Your point being? :p

(Actually, pfeh to that. I like going out places, especially if there's booze there, but i'll even go without for certain things. *nods*)

You're Egypt!
Curator of ancient mystical secrets, your life on the surface is fairly typical these days. Though you are in denial about more things than most people. Nevertheless, you're trying to convince people that you're safe despite your more volatile and unstable times that seem to be behind you. You like cats a whole lot. You'd probably really appreciate The Blue Pyramid.

Err...I'm Egypt, that is.

I'm either Mexico or Spain. How on earth can anyone choose between pyramids and cathedrals? They can both be so interesting. But yeah, definately feeling a hispanic vibe there. I should really pick up learning Spanish. I miss not being able to speak the language. :(

The Alhambra > other buildings

If you say so. Machu Picchu is pretty cool. As are the Pyramids at Giza.

Brazil, probably has fine ladies but won't share them.

You're Vatican City!<br>

You're pretty sure that you're infallible in all that you do or say, and
it's hard to say whether you're right. You have a lot of followers, most of whom will
do whatever you say without question, or line up to see you ride around in your spiffy car.
Religious and reserved, you have some wisdom, but also a bit much contempt for
everyone around you. You're also fabulously wealthy, no matter what you say to
the contrary.

Personally, I thought of myself as Tudor-England...

Kanabia seems, well...pretty damn Austrailian.

About as laid-back as they come, and likes to have a good time.

His penchant for doom-metal and reefer, make him that much cooler.

Wich is why, after taking over the world, I plan to harvest a few Austrailians to see if I cant chemically withdraw the gene that produces "Laid-backishness".

I will then synthetically reproduce this chemical, and disperse it into the worlds drinking supply, making everyone that much more docile and less likely to resist the Revolution.

You're the United Nations!
Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

LOL!

In the words of Bob Dylan, you "haven't known peace and quiet in so long [you] don't remember what it's like!" Sad but true. Boss after boss has led you around, using you for their nefarious purposes, and dumping you when the time was right. You've hurt and been hurt and now you're just sick and tired. When will people leave you alone and let you do your own thing? But you don't really even know what you want anymore.
