I want to find out what are people's most favorite, and least favorite countries.
First, some rules:
No flaming or degrading the choices of other people.
You may only pick one favorite, and one least favorite.
If you post, you must pick one favorite, and one least favorite, not just a favorite.
The country you choose must be in the real world.
You may choose countries whose sovereignty is disputed.
You may not use offensive language. This will be defined as any word you wouldn't use if you were addressing a person of respect and importance. Need I elaborate?

Wait...you dislike a country because someone you know might go there?

Oh yeah? Well that's my reason. Bite me.

Thanks for posting.

Name: The United Commonwealth of Kryozerkia
Favourite Country: Canada
Explain: It's my home country. It's not perfect, but, I still love it. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the entire reason I would never leave Canada. My rights are entrenched.
Least Favorite Country: Israel
Explain: The only people I've ever met from there were narrow-minded bigots. One of the people I knew had flung a racial slur at me because of my Turkish blood.

I'll be keeping to proper countries that have been countries for more than four centuries, thus:

Not really because I do feel a certain resentment because of that moron's actions.

The person that had said it, did say it to my face while studying here at a college in Canada.

I imagine that there are better people there, but, I haven't seen or met any and all I ever hear is negative stuff. But, it is nice to know there are some rational people in Israel.

France. But my friends do like to point out to me that I'm English, so I must be that too. ;)

Your just being difficult on perpose aren't you! :p

Well from now on your English, France outnumbers us at the moment so we need all the people we can get. :D

You're Turkish, Kryo? Who knew?

He didn't say he was Turkish, he said he had Turkish blood. It is possible he got a transfusion from a Turk. :eek:

Your just being difficult on perpose aren't you! :p

Well from now on your English, France outnumbers us at the moment so we need all the people we can get. :D

Name:Kiryu-shi
Favorite country: Japan, cause I wanna be there more than any other country.
Least Favorite: North Korea, cause I wanna be there less than any other country.

Name: The Most Serene Republic of Morganatron
Favorite Country: Canada
Explain: Tim Horton's
Least Favorite Country: Don't know.
Explain: Kind of explains it all.

Tim Hortens FTW!

You're Turkish, Kryo? Who knew?
I'm part Turkish. It comes from my mother's side. Her mother was Greek, her father Turkish. My dad's family is Irish and Welsh.

Favourite Country : Japan
Reasons: Beautiful Countryside, Cool language, Cool Technology, Anime and I like the people.

Least Favourite: America
Reasons: Sue-everyone culture, terrifying healthcare system, too many fundamental religious nuts.

(though they make some TOP tv series - Lost, BSG, Enterprise, 24, My name is Earl)

Least Favorite Country: Australia
Why?: Australia, why you gotta be all selfish and not share your continent with anyone? Poor New Zealand just gets shoved off to a few islands off the coast, and that's just not fair at all.

Favorite Country: Swaziland.
Why?: Say it aloud, Swa-zi-land. Its the land of the Swazis!
And, by all appearances, "Swazi" means "Guy who has AIDS", so that makes Swaziland the de facto homeland of Anthony Perkins.

Notice how I didn't follow your form, but, instead, perverted it by placing "least favorite" at the top? Oh yeah, I'm a rebel.

Favourite-Canada/Holland-home-both make beer that taste like beer should

least favourite-Belguim-bad football and strange tasting beers

too many religious nuts...ok. Wow, stick to your stereotypical views on america buddy, you'll go far in life with that kind of attitude. And just because we're not socialist and dont give our taxpayers money to crack addicts who go in for medical treatment doesnt mean our healthcare ssytem is terrifying. And...ive never been sued, nor have i sued, nor has anybody i know sued or been sued....and ive lived all over the US. People people people...find some new arguments about why you hate america.

I'm having some great luck for my first thread on this game... Keep it up!

Btw, anyone want to start a war in Serbia for me? Or maybe riot in Belgrade? She won't have to go there if it's a warzone. ;) :mp5:

Given that one of my best friends was born in Belgrade and is heading there in a few days for the Christmas holiday... no, I'd rather you didn't.

I must not do anything of the kind.

Seconded!

I'm part Turkish. It comes from my mother's side. Her mother was Greek, her father Turkish. My dad's family is Irish and Welsh.

AHAHHAA
Kryo... I am turkish on my grandmothers side (shes from cyprus) and Irish, English, Scottish. We're so alike.

Favourite Country: Canada (But Ireland is close)
Why: S'where I live fool. (But Ireland has a really good rugby team :S)
Least Favourite Country: Sweden. Yes... thats what I had down originally *shifty eyes*
Why: Fass is there, and its been around too long.

Favourite Country: Canada (But Ireland is close)
Why: S'where I live fool. (But Ireland has a really good rugby team :S)
Least Favourite Country: Finland
Why: Fass is there, and its been around too long.
Except for Fass is Swedish and Finland has been around for less than 100 years (I think). But that's OK. At least you know what you like.

Least Favourite Country: Finland
Why: Fass is there, and its been around too long.
Finland is neither very old, nor is it the home of Fass.

Name: The Modern Democratic Queendom of Darknovae
Favorite Country: UK
Explain: I moved there when I was four, and started school there and did great- had quite a few friends and did okay overall. I was in a town a few miles away from London and took the train there quite often and saw Buckingham Palace many times, which was awesome. Most of the people I came across were very nice and very curious about the US. That may have changed over the last 8 or 9 years, but meh. The only things I didn't like were Princess Di's death (:() and the hospital I was admitted to when I came down with pneumonia... I was in with kids who had all sorts of sicknesses and the doctors didn't change gloves or instruments or anything :eek: though hopefully that's unusual and has changed since then. Very good quality of life too. :) Now, though, the UK is now the US's lapdog, and I very much disapprove of the US right now.
Least Favorite Country: That I've been to, the US.
Explain: Bush. Need I say more?

Fill out this form and post it:


Name: Soviestan
Favorite Country: The United States
Explain: Freedoms(most important of which is religion), quality of life, and food
Least Favorite Country: "israel"
Explain: They are an illegal entity occupying and slaughtering Muslims thats why.

Name: Miiros

Favorite Country: The United States of America
Explain: I love the principles of my country and the Constitution. The diversity in this country is wonderful and there are many, many beautiful cities with lots of friendly people. The U.S. has also spawned wonderful things, like Arrested Development, triple cheeseburgers, and Denny's.
Honorable Mentions: Japan, Italy, and Singapore. Just three places I really want to visit.

Least Favorite Country: The United States of America
Explain: Yes, I know I said it is my favorite, but my country pisses me off to no end sometimes. You have the Bible Belt trying to ram the.. well... Bible down my throat, George "Dubya" Bush, the intolerance, the fear-mongering, the horrible materialism can be overwhelming and a lot of people in this country can be real jackasses. Sometimes I think about jumping over the Detroit River and living in Windsor.
Dishonorable Mentions: North Korea, Iran, and Israel.

My favorite country is Palau for no reason and my least favorite is the U.S because it is a little old to me (not in terms of years)

Least Favourite Country: Finland
Why: Fass is there, and its been around too long.
It's been around since 1917... before that it's just been an extension of either Sweden or Russia.

Fass is also Swedish. This is different to being Finnish.

No worries. Any press is good press.

Name: Bunnyducks

Favorite Country: Greece
Explain: My home away from home. Not cool and progressive, maybe that's why I like it.

Least Favorite Country: Tough. Has to be one I have actually visited... Lebanon? Twas a bit shot down at the time.
EDIT: that came out wrong... I love the Lebanese people, it's only that the infrastructure was poorly maintained... for some reason.

No worries. Any press is good press.
*coughs*

Not that there's anything wrong with Finland. It's full of sauna-y goodness, and as much vodka as you can afford with the ridiculous alcohol taxes.

*coughs*

Not that there's anything wrong with Finland. It's full of sauna-y goodness, and as much vodka as you can afford with the ridiculous alcohol taxes.I know. I'm weeping and drinking right now. Not Vodka, of course (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koskenkorva_Viina) (I wonder where that stereotype comes from), but...

Yeah I had forgotten... I was blind with rage I tell you! *hugs finland, turns away sweden*

Name - Joseph Michael Liberator, alias - The Imperial Realm of Nihon

Favourite Country - The United States. It's the only country I've visited, being as...I live here. So I can't say much about other countries much, except for the fact some out there really are human rights shit holes.
Explain - It is the beacon of Democracy *Atleast...supposed to be, :-P*, the people are nice for the most part minus a few million in the south and in New York...and it's literally just the melting pot of all cultures, if not most...and with that brings all the good things, and unfortunately the bad things, of other parts of the globe. I love living in Lincoln, because we are the most populous when it comes to Refugees Per Capita *if that made sense*. So we have a range of cool little businesses and areas of town ranging from 'Muhammad's Barber Shop' to 'T-Town' *T-Town...Vietnamese-esque area*. And someone mentioned Serbia...yes...well...we have plenty of Bosnians, not sure if any Serbians on a large level.
Honorable Mentions - Italy, Germany, and Ireland *these are my fatherlands*, and Canada and Scotland and England and the good ol' Cherokee Nation if they were a 'real' nation...*these are my motherlands*...and then Japan, Israel, and New Zeeland...BEAUTIFUL sites...and Japan + Anime + My fondness of Japanese Culture = Teh Sweet!!!!

Not so Favourite Countries - Being as I can't really make a sole decision on just one...

Iraq:
Reason - Shit hole, yes thank you Bush but also the Insurgents who for the most part don't care for the well being of fellow Iraqis but only for winning a cause of defending the Islamic World.
Iran:
Reason - "Tom", aka Ahmadinejad. The people I'm sure are wonderful, and I've seen pictures and videos of the place. I think Tehran is BEAUTIFUL, and I wouldn't mind vacationing there...once the riseing 'We don't exactly like America...' feeling dissepates.
North Korea:
Reason - Who doesn't, albeit 12 men and women and then a few million propogandized N. Korean Civilians...and I guess the conspiracists around the globe too?...eh...*those who think it is a just nation, atleast*....I mean, the place IS an effing shit hole. Pyongyang is a nice City *I actually do know someone who was allowed to go to Pyongyang on an Foreign Exchange Program, he is there to try and see the world through their eyes and so that a lucky N. Korean guy can see atleast 70% of the truth...saying that because yes, American Media and the American Class Room is highly biased...as is most the world, anyways...* and I've seen a video by an organization, can't remember it's name, but they are compromised of Canadians, Brits, and Australians mostly and go around the world doing documentaries...very cool video...people in N Korea are excruciatingly nice to them.
Russia:
Reason - Putin. Nope, that's about it.
France:
Reason - Pfft...because I heard somewhere they are a Beacon of Democracy...and...they really aren't...I mean we are more than they are, which is somewhat sad...then again Bush isn't a total despot either...regardless...

Their French...*I love the French at the same time though...*
The shit-holes of Africa, namely like Darfur and Somalia and a few other countries that claim to be right...not saying the continent is, just a select few countries...
China:
Reason - Their Government. Human Rights Violations, la la la...bla bla bla...
Turkmenistan:
Reason - "Look at me, I'm the leader and thus I get to have a religion...BASED OFF OF ME!!"

Eh I'll stop there...partly because somehow my cat managed to slip off a table top...partly because I think this post exceded it's length at North Korea lol...

Yeah I had forgotten... I was blind with rage I tell you! *hugs finland, turns away sweden*

:( I think Sweden is a pretty cool country...

*bursts into tears...*

Name: ummm, look a little to the left....

Favorite: Norway

Reason: I have great admiration for vikings and for black metal, not only that, but it has the most wonderful landscapes.

Least Favorite: hmmm, I've never really thought about this. probably France.

Reason: I hate the French language, and they are bound to be speaking that a bit over there.

Favorite: Israel - my country
Honorable mentions: Turkey, Holland, USA
Least favorite: Iran - wants to nuke Israel
Dishonorable mentions: Lebanon, Poland, Syria

Name: The Democratic Republic of Hamilay
Favorite Country: Switzerland
Explain: Dignified, developed, peaceful, good chocolate. Also mostly inhabited by super-smart aliens.
Least Favorite Country: Nigeria, probably.
Explain: Do I really have to?

2000th Post

Name: Amer i ca

Favorite Country: United States of America

Explain: It contains nearly every type of terrain and culture, prosperous, and civil rights are more or less secure (although it was a bitch getting them in the first place). Not to mention it´s The Homeland! :p Probably would have said Canada if I didn´t live in the States.

Least Favorite Country: Mexico

Explain: As someone who´s lived there: I don´d like the music, the women, the hipocritical anti-americanism, or the technological backwardness, to say a only a few reasons.

the hipocritical anti-americanism, or the technological backwardness, to say a only a few reasons. "hipocritical" or carping?

Favourite Country: The USA
Why: I love our country because it has not taxed me to death, kept me safe and given me the oppourtunity to suceed
Least Favourite Country: France
Why: Dont like them, they basically betrayed the US after all we did for em, their country is falling apart and, lastly, they're a buncha wimps. They have won very few wars and lost many more. Oh, to translate this into french: *Ribbit* Ribbit* Ribbit*

"hipocritical" or carping?

Hipocritical, although carping would accurately describe other aspects of it too.

Favorite Country: Europe
Why: Not so much a country as a state of mind. Also an excellent excuse for behavior this previous summer. For example:
Disbeliever: "Why did you do that?"
Myself: "Dude, I was in Europe."
D "Oh. Ok. Thats kinda understandable."
Least Favorite: Biafra
Why: Despite the aid of a badass Swiss mercenary, they lost.

Most favourite: Canada, freedoms, generally open-minded peoples.
Least favourite: China, no need for explanation.

Favorite Country: Canada
Explain: Tim Horton's
Least Favorite Country: Don't know.
Explain: Kind of explains it all.

I think that sums up my feelings quite nicely.

Name: Congo--Kinshasa
Favorite Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Explain: Intriguing history, fascinating cultures, beautiful rain forests and wildlife, and perhaps the most respectable people in the world: what they have gone through, and how they manage to survive with their humor and humanity intact, is nothing short of miraculous; I doubt any other people could do the same
Least Favorite Country: Mauritania
Explain: It's nothing but desert. Blegh.

Least Favourite Country: France
Why: Dont like them, they basically betrayed the US after all we did for em, their country is falling apart and, lastly, they're a buncha wimps. They have won very few wars and lost many more. Oh, to translate this into french: *Ribbit* Ribbit* Ribbit*

Dude, you've just covered yourself in kerosene and nailed a sign to your chest saying, "FLAME ME! FLAME ME!"

Two hours gone now. Nobody cares. I bet that is even worse for him/her.

Two hours gone now. Nobody cares. I bet that is even worse for him/her.

Ah, well. No skin off my nose. :p

Favorite Country: US
Reason: Despite being horrible, the NY metroplex is least worse place I've been to. (Though Northumberland - as per the pre 74 border - comes a close second, losing only because of its close proximity to makem town and Hartlepool and the smoggies who visit for their stag nights).

Least Favorite Country: Tunisia.
Reason: That entire fucking place smells like a french toilet. Also, I do not want to buy your fucking arab baubles or carpets.

Favourite Country: The USA
Why: I love our country because it has not taxed me to death, kept me safe and given me the oppourtunity to suceed

Least Favorite Country: Russia
Explain: It just irks me the wrong way.

Least Favorite Country: Tunisia.
Reason: That entire fucking place smells like a french toilet. Also, I do not want to buy your fucking arab baubles or carpets.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Tunisia, while it does have a lot of bazaars, is a fantastic country. Everyone is really friendly and theres so much to do. Excursions, camel-riding, visiting the Collosieum from "Gladiator" and the sites for "Star War: A New Hope", going to the salt lakes, visiting the desert people and cous-cous!

Tunisia is my second favourite place!

too many religious nuts...ok. Wow, stick to your stereotypical views on america buddy, you'll go far in life with that kind of attitude. And just because we're not socialist and dont give our taxpayers money to crack addicts who go in for medical treatment doesnt mean our healthcare ssytem is terrifying. And...ive never been sued, nor have i sued, nor has anybody i know sued or been sued....and ive lived all over the US. People people people...find some new arguments about why you hate america.

No flaming or degrading the choices of other people.


Ahem. Anyway, we're sort of entering the stage where people are putting down countries as their favourite because they were either born in it or politically idolise it and their least favourites countries are the ones they're politically against.

So? I'm French AND English. What does that make me? :p

Y'know, countries like Liberia, South Korea or Japan would be very surprised at being described as "socialist".

I'm never sure whether to be amused by ignorance, or despair... Assuming your post wasn't sarcasm. If it was, sorry, but you'll find there really are people here capable of posting something that ignorant.

Notice I said "pretty much the rest of the world". Of course, I knew that comment was going to draw some comment like "Well, [insert some 3rd world hellhole country] isn't a nanny-state, why don't you move there?!". South Korea, Japan and Singapore seem to be better. China is on it's way. But Western Europe? Forget it. Cradle-to-grave morons control those countries.

Ah, you weren't being sarcastic... I thought not, alas.

South Korea, Japan and Singapore seem to be better.

"Better"? If neoliberal policies are your criteria, they've gone further than the US.

(Heh, I forgot Singapore. And Somalia, for that matter...)

But Western Europe? Forget it. Cradle-to-grave morons control those countries.

Of course; actually ensuring that people have decent living conditions, including access to health care, is a sign of being a "moron". Thanks; I'll stay here where we have a decent enough concept of society. You seem to be happy where you are, preaching your silly doctrines, bless your cotton socks. Everyone wins.

I only wish that our tour operator hadn't gone bust and we could have gone on a camel ride to El Djem when we went, but on the plus side, it meant we could have seen a doctor when my sister got tonsillitis. And I got to have a goat's cheese pizza in Monastir...

I'll be keeping to proper countries that have been countries for more than four centuries, thus:

Name: Fassigen
Favourite Country: France
Explain: Language, culture, history - it has it all. I also like the people.
Least Favourite Country: Denmark
Explain: Language, culture, history - it has none. I also dislike the people.

Huh? As a Swede, you, of all people, should know that the Scandinavian countries are amongst the oldest monarchies in the world, and as such all have a long and (at least sometimes) glorious history.

What have we Danes done to you to warrant such a hatred? Except, of course, beating you in a game of soccer every now and then...

Doesn't get any more neoliberal than that, eh? ;)

(At least, in terms of economics)

Oh yeah? Well that's my reason. Bite me.

*bites*

Better get a rabies shot! :D

So many people are saying the United States are their least favorite country... Let me make myself clear. Stop being so socialist, please. It bugs me.
Please don't quote this and call me a facist or whatever, because I really don't care what you say.
Furthermore, when i said let's start a war in Serbia, I was kidding. Sorry if I offended that person back there. :)

I'm adding a rule; No offensive language.

It's great that this has lasted for so long without me, keep it up.

Why do so many people hate the US? The answer is because so many people are socialist, if not outright communist. That bugs me, stop being stupid. I hate left-wing.
Don't bother quoting this and calling me names, because I honestly don't care... At all.

Thread slowed down a bit...
Bump.

Favourite Country - Republic of Ireland
We're all rich and great now. We have even gotten over hating the Brits (well most of us).

Least Favourite Country - Australia
What is the difference between Australia and a yoghurt?
If you leave a yoghurt long enough, it will develop it's own culture.

Hmm... so many to choose...

Favourite Country: Would have to be either Italy, Philippines, or Australia
Explain:
Italy = Great food, great culture, lovely language, nice climate, I love the atmosphere of Rome, nice girls and a good mate and some cousins who live there
Philippines = friendly people, bloody-absolutely-amazing food, great climate, great culture, we've got lots of friends there who'll bend over backwards for us, bloody cheap for tourists, I'm half-Filipino...
Australia = laidback life, great climate, great scenery, hot girls around, and it's like a piece of Britain, but with sunshine :D

Least Favourite Country and Explain: Hmm... of the ones I've been to, I've never really not liked a place. Maybe Holland, because the recent memories aren't as pleasant as other places (getting drunk in a dodgy place with a friend and his friends, and they only spoke Dutch, and one of them tried to start a fight with the locals...)

Favorite country: France
Explain: The language, Mt Saint Michel and Orangina

Least favorite: Kuwait
Explain: It's ridiculously hot and the people aren't very friendly towards foreigners.

Doesn't get any more neoliberal than that, eh? ;)

(At least, in terms of economics)

I started a thread about it once, a few months ago...

We'll have to see how things go as the situation changes there, though.

Name: The Most Serene Republic of Morganatron
Favorite Country: Canada
Explain: Tim Horton's

Least favourite is Qatar, its hot, sandy, full of people who hate Brit's.

Name:NOT TELLIN' YA PERV!!!!
Favorite Country: Switzerland
Explain: It's small, and they have the most chocolate!
Least Favorite Country: Japan
Explain: Too crowded, they have too much technology (they will start the Apocalypse!), and the LANGUAGE! GOOD CRUCIFICATION! THERE'S NOT A CHANCE IN HELL I WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN THAT GIBBERISH!

Why do so many people hate the US? The answer is because so many people are socialist, if not outright communist. That bugs me, stop being stupid. I hate left-wing.

Hmm...are you deliberately infringing the rules that you set out at the beginning of the thread? The one about not degrading other peoples' choices. Saying that people cannot question the policies of the current single world hegemon is slightly strange as well, as being the biggest advocate and benefactor of the existing international system it is quite obviously going to be focused upon by those who disagree with said system.

Name: Duckquackmuse (Ducky)
Favourite Country: (Other than my own) Norway.
Explain: Not got bags of culture but I like Ibsen. Awful rock music :-). Largely underated, but nice skiing. Loads of free stuff. Things are expensive, but hell it snows. Free buses (even if they are crap). Oil, lol. Charming. I love it. Its so relaxing.
Least Favourite Country: I would name a warmonger country but I don't want to have to explain why I hate them so America.
Explain: If the conspiricy theories about EVERTHIING were so wrong then why can't the government explain some of the questions that are being asked. What's wrong with transparency. I don't like the way the government is run. It reminds me too much of a dictatorship, Bush does whatever the hell he likes, changes laws when he likes etc. He reminds me of Henry the 8th, a lot.

Least Favourite Country - Australia

Haha! :cool:

Name: Tetristanbloc
Favourite Country: Sweden
Explain: Left wing legends anyone? All the people i've met from Sweden are very friendly too.
Least Favourite Country: Too many to choose from really. *writes down the names of most countries in the world on little bits of paper, puts in a hat, picks from hat*...USA
Explain: I'm not writing an essay

Ironic that a thread that had the potential to be a flamefest, ended up so well. Then the OP came back and destroyed it by breaking his own rules.

New rule: you can't take US as a "least favorite country", you can't make "communist choices". :rolleyes:

Name: Latvias
Favorite Country: Latvia
Explain: A land of hard work, freedomwill and never ending hockey!
