| Oh look at that, the other thread got locked because we weren't discussing our cultural enrichment Hey, I thought it'd be cool if we listed 3 pros and cons of our countries and explained why we feel that way. Oh and hey, try to mention what country you're from, so that if someone from the same country as you disagrees you can discuss it ;) or you can discuss why you agree ;) because discussions. United States: Pros -The food. I LOVE my southern cooking, anyone who disagrees with chicken fried steak is mentally ill. It's the best food ever -The 2nd Amendment, I fucking love my guns more than anything. And I love hunting. -The cost of food and stuff is super fucking cheap. Cons: Hippies. While I love the first amendment, and I support their right to use it, I fucking hate dirty smelly hippies. Regressive popular culture. I hate how the media is owned by a select group of people who passively brainwash the masses through repetitive subject matter. The minimum wage- It's too low. Discuss with me, my fellow Americans, and discuss your cultural enrichment too. Discuss everything, OR ELSE. |

Rick said: So I'm from Australia Pros: - The "Outback" I love the tranquility. - The animals. - Beaches and bushwalks. Cons: - The accent. - Bogans. - Everything is fucking expensive. What's it like being part of the commonwealth territories? And is it scary living in a place where literally everything can kill you? I'd be terrified of swimming for fear of getting stung by one of those box jellyfish. |

| Philippines Pros - foods are delicious - the language is easy to learn and spell Cons - high crime rate especially corruption, well one of the presidential candidate here wants to improve or change that and people like him to be the next president - prices are expensive for the citizens especially the poor, but foreigners said its so cheap since 1 USA dollar is equal to 45 philippines pesos so you got a lot of foreigners here living when they retire especially retired USA military people - voters vote for entertainers rather than achievers sometimes or a lot of times, seriously Manny Pacquiao who is just a boxer and dont have much of a education is winning the senatorial race |

| Mexico (and every other Latin American country for that matter): Pros - Food Cons - Corruption, drug dealing, violence, unemployment, poverty, contamination, illiteracy, impunity, lack of investment, lack of credit, lack of economy growth, etc. But the food tho. Discuss with me, biches. |

Reagan maybe not so much, I don't care for the lasting impact of his "Reaganomics" i think its because most voters care more about good personality and popularity rather than expertise or education background here, Manny Pacquiao is very popular here and is considered a hero by many so they think that is enough for him to do good in politics |

Is it true that the English NEVER wash their teapots? I heard that it was bad manners, but then I heard David Mitchel rant hit angry logic at that on QI and it makes me think... could the lull in British dentistry be the result of rotten tea leafs decaying the enamel on your teeth at an accelerated rate? |

Lothloran said: Ourselves as a nation are the problem.-Senpai- said: Mexico (and every other Latin American country for that matter): Discuss with me, biches. What do you think is the biggest contributing factor to the bad economic growth? Politicians got it down how to play "us" 1. Cater towards the lowest common denominator, which don't know shiet about politics or economics. 2. Get them votes. 3. Steal everything while you can. Literally, the current president is one of the most hated presidents of this country, yet, he's still the president. Why? Because his campaign was targeted towards the kind of people that don't understand economics, which are the majority of the population. |

Everyone knows it's the accent that causes crooked yellow teeth. Nothing wears down teeth like a cockney accent. It's like acid in voice form. Just try saying "'Ello Guvnah" three times over, I dare you. By the time you finish you will have three cavities. And that teapot thing is only really true for a rare few people (old people) now lol, those that follow tradition. Give it a few years and they'll be compost and maybe we will see a rise in dental health |

| United States Pros: +I actually have a job and money in this country. +Dem Ladies Body Pillows +The cuisine is diverse. Cons: -Everyone is a Bigot -No one knows how to drive -Kim Kardashian is worshiped as a god -The 2016 Presidential Elections -Internet is slow and my ISP are a bunch of money whoring fucks |

yep its just near our country lol and ye our country has an overpopulation problem too just like yours what do you think is the solution to the overpopulation problem? |
| US -Very low cost of living outside of the coasts and some other major cities -BBQ -Can afford whatever meat I please, and I can get stuff that I thought at one time I would never get to eat locally (Emu, camel milk, ostrich, etc.) -Nice selection of wild game to eat Cons -Major cities are a mess right now and filled with anger and tyranny. -Rural areas in some places are so neglected (Appalachia especially), I've seen at least 100 ghost towns or near ghost towns (towns with less than 100 people in them) in the US. Politicians don't seem to care either even the GOP which you would think would care about the rural ruin. -The political system is completely broken, I mean you have senators serving for 47+ years and an election that may end up with a tyrant on each side getting the nomination because superdelegates are tyrants themselves and don't care about anyone but themselves. -Too much greed and corporate tyranny, and many companies wanting cheap labor in skilled jobs people want instead of training Americans for these jobs and hiring them. There's way too much cronyism in the tech industry. You have areas where no one but the rich can live and still live at their means (and these aren't gated communities filled with ultra expensive condos and mansions) such as San Fransisco. |

| Pros: 1. Great heritage 2. Great elderly population 3. Home of one of the greatest revolutions in Europe Cons: 1. Women are allowed to vote 2. Can get arrested and imprisoned for discussing historical events 3. Anti-nationalism is encouraged 4. Presence of migrants, especially Muslims 5. Low birth rate for the natives 6. Men are weak 7. Native culture being displaced and suppressed for the sake of multiculturalism |

| Indonesia Pros : 1. Cheap, tasty, and nutritious foods 2. Everyone's quite polite and willing to help you. 3. Strong patriarchy system, especially in Balinese culture, and i'm male so it's very beneficial. 4. Relatively free from first world problems (feminism, PC culture, libertarians) Cons : 1. Crappy TV shows 2. Corrupt, nepotism-laden government 3. Weak law enforcement. No money, you lose. 4. Hardcore muslim group constantly making up stupid rules. 5. Poverty. Those beggars and homeless people, they're so depressing to look at. |

Volksdeutsche said: Nonnel said: So they're better because... you grew up with them? You didn't really answer my question. Kinship. Preservation of your own. So instead of accepting that everyone on Earth shares being the same species on the same planet, instead of learning to understand different cultures, you'd rather keep them separate. Just because. Also having your family or a random family killed is not a great analogy. It's more like your family or everyone on your block. |

I can learn about New Guineans' culture without having to let them co-exist, occupy and breed on my land. |
| Straya Pros: - First world country - Student loans don't fuck you in the ass like in America - Solid healthcare system - Lot of sports shit going on Cons: - Weather - Shit's expensive - We're pussies who censor and ban everything - Internet sucks dick |
