fave countries other than own

Switzerland. Hands down. It is so beautiful there, and the sky was so many shades of blue I have never seen around here. Tied for a distant second I'd have to say Ireland, Austria, what little I've seen of Scotland, and the British Virgin Islands.
 
Countries suck and this thread is stupid.

The whole problem with the world today is nationalism.

"But I'm an American!"

"Isreal is better than All You Bitches!"

We all live on Earth. If nature gets really pissed and decides to throw a comet our way, we're all going to die. It doesn't matter if you're an American, Irishman, German, Indian, whatever. You're dead. The only way to survive is to stick together.

"But Poop Loops! We're not saying countries are bad! Just the ones we like!"

That's still saying all the others are not as good, as if the laws of physics stated so, when it's really just the impact of the people in the country and other countires, in other words, it can all be changed.
 
I actually want to live in Alaska some day. Not for the isolation, but because I can't stand summer heat. I don't know if it's just me, but when it gets to like 80ºF I just feel like I'm going to die.

And what do you mean by your post? I just said that Earth should be united, and you say to go to a specific place on Earth. Did you not understand what I was saying?

Okay, from here on out, let's refer to our favorite locations only by their latitude and longitude.
 
Nationalism does worry me. I feel a little uneasy during the world cup and all these " Canadians " are proudly flaunting some other national flag out their car windows. It makes me wonder who's side they'd be on in a war.

I think when you move to a prosperous country and get citizenship - you should ONLY be Canadian, or whatever.

be proud of your heritage - but don't be flying a foreign flag in my face.
