Cons; live next door to the Scots, Welsh and French the ruling class are a glorified us missile base |

| Pros: - Affordable health care - The Castle - Chris Lilley - Living in such a multicultural society has a lot of really cool benefits - Madman, the biggest anime distributor in the country, are awesome and Siren have licensed a lot of cool niche stuff Cons: - Once you leave the Outback (Where only a tiny minority of Australians actually live) and go into the more civilised areas we're basically just a mish mash of other cultures with no real identity of our own - The low Aussie dollar - While I certainly appreciate the benefits of a multicultural society, it can be a bit awkward at times because you feel like a foreigner in your own country - Hanabee, the second biggest anime distributor in the country, suck dick and care more about Rooster Teeth than anime - Bogans |
 |
| Saudi Arabia Pros: Culture is still highly preserved. Oil is cheaper than the air you breathe. Extremely low crime rates and high rate of stability Women can't drive (Yes I said it! Women are bad drivers) Life is easy with free education and healthcare. Cons: Too much desert lands. Lots of crazy extremist nutjobs. Some people are stuck in the stone age. That's it folks, didn't mention politics because it isn't really that corrupted nor that righteous. It's abit mediocre if you ask me. |
| United States Cons - Mass Shootings Rednecks the government Expensive health care Riots The people basically everything about the USA. Pros - Food and nature. |

| Australia Cons: - Our Netflix is shit - Tony Abbott will forever be a mark of disgrace on our history - The current PM isn't much better - The stereotypes - Everything is double the price it would be in the US - Geo-blocks on internet videos - The weather can never make up its mind so its either freezing cold or you're burning to death - The only thing ever on free-to-air TV is sports - A TV episode can air literally months after it airs in the US - Real estate is so expensive unless you want to live in the middle of nowhere Pros: i dunno the checkout maybe |
Rick said: So I'm from Australia Pros: - The "Outback" I love the tranquility. - The animals. - Most of the people are genuinely quite laid back, easy going and funny. Cons: - The accent. - Bogans. - Everything is fucking expensive. What are bogans? .............................. |

Yeah pretty much. Bogan, redneck, chav every country probably has a group of people like this haha |
| I'm from 'MURICA. (America ._.) Cons -A large chunk of the population is overweight. -We are being denied our fundamental constitutional rights. -There is only two In and Out Burgers in the country (it's like the best restaurant chain... EVER?) -We lack a lot of common sense. -Incapable politicians -High crime rates. -Overfunded military -Dependence on cars Pros -Access to free education. -Technology saavy -We have Obama. -Variety in landscape -Opportunities |
| England. Pros: *Fish and chips *Pork faggots (look it up, they're a thing and they're delicious) *Haggis (technically Scottish but whatever) *Scotch eggs *British accents for those inclined. South for posh/chav, north for Scouse/Scottish. *An obsession with tea *Countrysides? Cons: *We pay TV licenses for "free" channels despite them all advertising every half-hour. *House prices are ridiculous. Especially in London. *To get a job you need experience, but to get experience you need a job. Volunteering often remedies this but it means you will have to work for free at some point. *We're surprisingly more xenophobic (and by extension, hypocritical) than British stereotypes would suggest *Our current government is basically Margeret Thatcher reincarnated, only she's returned with a vengeance and is out to destroy public services and the disabled as well as workers. They harp on about how morally wrong tax dodging is, while giving big corporations big tax breaks and we recently found out our prime minister has benefited from having off-shore accounts to avoid tax. When probed about it he called it a "private matter", but didn't mind having everyone else's privacies invaded when he tried changing online data laws in response to terrorism about a year ago. |

| I live in Mexico We have a steady and growing economy, yet inequality reamains a problem. There's an obvious dichotomy white/indian - rich/poor, the browner the poorer. This is not absolute but it's there, yet racial relations are much better than those in the USA. Most things are actually cheap and even shitty jobs will get you a good meal for the day. Drugs are cheap as well, so it's good. Goods are always near you in shape of small stablishments, I'm able to buy medicaments, food, office supplies, hardware, etc just by walking 100 m. Despite what they say I actually feel safe most of the time. The police is useless when it's about doing the actual job. Religion isn't an issue. People are late most of the time. Public transport is deficient. Druglords are bad people and no one trusts politicians even if they don't know shit about politics, they were taught to just hate them. Among other things Also, Spanish is the language of God so it's a huge plus |

| @lilcoffeebean I don't understand what you're saying. From my viewpoint you're either French or you're not and if you are that makes you a French Canadian. Majority of which live in Quebec for various reasons. Is it distinguished differently in Canada? |
| |
| @rekindledflame Yes and no. Obviously if you're a French Canadian then you're a French Canadian and the majority of French Canadians do live in Quebec. There is a distinction between dialects though, in a similar way to how Spanish in Mexico and Spanish in Spain are different, except in most closer proximity ofc. For example, I speak Acadian French which is quite distinct from what would generally be regarded as Quebec's French or even Metropolitan French. It's different in dialect as well as Acadians typically have a very distinct accent. It has more in common with Louisiana's French or what you guys call Cajuns (not Creole though) from an accent/dialect standpoint. So you find a small subset of people whether it be in France, Quebec or wherever, who believe they are the only 'true' French, which is quite ridiculous of course. I honestly didn't think a joke would need to be explained so much lol. It's kind of like Americans and British arguing over 'the real English' because you spell words differently and have different accents, except with culture added into the mixture. |

| Denmark: Pros: - Relatively low crime rate - Some services that cost money in other countries are provided at no or low cost by the public sector - Relatively low unemployment, compared to many other countries in Europe - Can travel to other members of the EU (and some non-EU european countries) without a visum Cons: - Extremely high taxes - Large dependent class of people living off welfare without working - Boring Nature - Boring Culture - Very high prices in general - Very left-wing politics in general |
| pros: america bald eagles freedom guns cons: bald eagles freedom guns america |

| Spain -Food. -Cultural heritage and variety of places to visit. -Nature. -Very active nightlife everywhere you move. -People are in general kind and approachable. In general, though. There's some variety depending on the city. -Free healthcare. -Politicians don't know about the internet so every time they try to apply an anti-piracy law nothing happens. Cons -The Government is a shithole of retarded decisions and personal interests. -Politicians in general seem to believe that their voters can't think for themselves or can forget shit easily. And they get voted. -Institutionalized corruption in pretty much every level, political leaders getting directive jobs in major companies, favoritism, "no resignation" culture and more. -The media don't know the meaning of journalistic objectivity. -Economic recession, high rate of unemployment, high rate of bad quality jobs, low incomes... -The Monarchy. An endless source of corruption, impunity and shame. -Overpriced stuff like cinema tickets or public transport. In addition, public transport sucks. -Relatively low offer for film and anime. Distributors in general. Lack of awareness of the chances of internet distribution, though this is starting to change now that Netflix finally could get here. -Bullfighting and everything around it. -Laws that restrict the right to free expression and protest and are overprotective towards the figures of authority. -Lack of a wholly effective separation between religion and state. Article 525 of the Penal Code is a law against blasphemy in disguise. -This seems to be getting better but Spain has been known for a long while as the paradigm of slow and expensive internet connection in Europe. -Lack of investment on science and investigation. -Reduction measures that compromise the quality of public education and healthcare services. -We dont speck Engrish heer |

Seeing you listing Bald Eagles reminded me of an eagle we have in Australia called the Wedge-Tailed Eagle and then I remembered these meme's: Not trying to start an argument over which country has better birds just thought it was funny :) btw can confirm, they are dangerous fuckers. |

| Norway Pros: - It's not Sweden - We can still shop food, alcohol and tobacco in Sweden, cheap - Highest standard of living in the world for 12 consecutive years - compassion and equality are the #1 core values of the country - Making fun of Sweden - Best dairy products in the world Cons: - Immigration from Sweden taking all health and service sector jobs - Upsurge of right wing radical racist scum - Food culture is thoroughly bland, except for the cheese and chocolate |

| @-Senpai- @Marco_abr @UnoPuntoCinco high five continent buddies! Fight me for who has it worse (or hug me, I need that more). I'm from Venezuela pros: Education is free Healthcare is "free" Racially diverse population, sort of cons: Pretty much everything else Crime, scarcity and devaluation of currency are the tip of the iceberg. kirisakitrash said: cons: the fuckign government, the entire "vino toritos flamenco siesta" stereotype. That freaking killed me hahaha @j0x How much does the average citizen make in the Philippines? Here minimum wage is around 12,000 bolivars a month and 1 USD is equivalent to 200 bolivars in the tightly controlled market and 1,000 bolivars in the black market, so prices are usually set taking the second price into consideration since most of our products are imported. As example, a pair of brand shoes would be around 75,000 bolivars. |

CatSoul said: United States Pros: -Free speech -Disney World Cons: -American cheese -Donald Trump is a legitimate political candidate -NSA -Cops keep shooting people for no apparent reason Cops aren't shooting people for no reason, it's always ALWAYS the victims fault. Even if it's something as small as a *cough* urban *cough* individual with pants 10 times too big doing that "sagging" thing If he's running away from the police and he reaches behind himself to pull his pants up it LOOKS like he's reaching for a weapon. In the eyes of a cop who just wants to enforce the law and go home to his wife at the end of the day, he's not going to stop and hesitate, he's going to shoot whether it's justified or not. Also, in *cough* urban *cough* areas. The kids there will pretend to pull a gun even if they don't have one as an intimidation tactic against other *cough* urban *cough* individuals. Yes, some cops can be bad, but in general no one is getting shot for no reason. Jamar Clark beat the shit out of his girlfriend then assaulted the paramedics when they were trying to render aid, the two police officers charged with shooting him had spotless records for the past decade. And they only shot him when he reached for their guns. Another incident, which I can't remember but the incident that sparked the "He's a good boy" meme, where the man who was shot was fleeing the scene of a strong arm robbery where he assaulted several elderly individuals and also got violent with police I've personally never even seen a cop pull a gun (even though white people are statistically more likely to be shot by police) because I comply with the police when they are affecting the law in a constitutional manner. |

I sometimes hear lass, the plural of lass is a pretty rare find though. It's more common now that "lad" culture has taken off and it's become a token of "cheeky banter". Still it's better than our neighbours in Wales, over there they call them sheep. kekekek. |

Many people find it unbelievable because Venezuela has oil too, but ugh it's just a really complicated thing to explain in a forum post. |

povsuduvolosy said: Russia: disgusting in everything. No good sides. Russia. Pros: - Nature, history, culture, women, resources - we have it all. - Major country. You get to hear our people kicking ass in wars, sports, arts and science. Well, not so much in science, and modern arts suck too. Also, a lot of people speak Russian even outside our country. - A lot of things we inherited from Soviet Union, like education and multinationalism. - It's not Ukraine. Cons: - Corruption. Corruption everywhere. From politicians making corrupt laws that promote bribing and unjust imprisonment, to the trolleybus you're riding seeming ready to collapse because it wasn't repaired for decades. It seems to be taking hold in people's hearts already. - Political system based on Putin single-handedly intimidating the whole country. Should he die, things will go straight to hell. Well, they'll probably go there even earlier. - The country steadily trying to become Stalin-age Soviet Russia. Censorship, only one political party worth mentioning, government lies, suppressing all opposition... - People being backwards on a lot of social issues, like gay rights. Even nationalism has reappeared. You forgot to mention war. We (Crimea) are lucky to have got away from there in time. |
