That for ones in history your more than a motorway between France and Germany.

What the hell does that have to do with my support for the Union?

Because Belgium plays the "big boss" of EU. But here is a newsflash: you don't! I really don't know what we are doing in EU. We should leave it fast. Sweden doesn't need commands from Italy, belgium, germany, holland etc. A Scandinavian union would be more preferable

What the hell? Big boss of the EU? What in the name of the almighty and relentless Duracell bunny are you talking about?
Just for your information: the scandinavian countries are also doing their share of "commanding" (that's what u like to call it) in terms of environmental policies so I don't know what you're complaining about???

You aren't living in the richest country on the planet, the US is the richest country in total (norway is 25), and Luxemburg is the richest country with GDP per capita, Norway is second.

Americans...when they aren't bonded against a common enemy (excluding eachother)

The South is so much cleaner friendlier safe etc.  The East Coast left cost liberal way of thinking, it defies logic

Well you obviously have never lived in the south. I was born and raised in Illinois, and lived in Alabama for 8 years and have been here in Florida for about 1. And from experience I can tell you the people in the south are dumb, dirty, racist, mean, annoying, and have annoying horrible accents, terrible food, and more lazy fat people than anywhere else in America.

I can think of nothing good about the south, the weather is way to hot, and they don't know how to handle morning frost on the ground in the "winter". They close schools, no wonder people are stupid down here.

And there is absolutly nothing to do down here, the only place worth visiting is Atlanta, and that city isn't even that great after going to Chicago a million times.  Southern Hospitality doesn't exist and never has.

Yur dum....Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. You were in Alabama. You asshole.

You are a poor excuse for a human being. But then again we love pissing off people like you - it makes you go home sooner.

Well, I've learnt my lesson.

NEVER BELIEVE STATEMENTS MADE IN PRO-GOVERNMENT ADS!

You Australians are a little too close for my taste... Could you, like, back off a little?

I don't know what to write... I live in Finland, but am Russian. So I guess I must cover both.

Finland:

1. Taxation = very high. Up to 60% of pay, depending on how much you earn. It is impossible to get rich like you can in the States, for instance. That alone isn't that bad as long as the money is spent on good causes, but supporting bums and alcoholics isn't my idea of a good cause.

2. The drunk Finnish assholes that travel to Russia and Estonia just for the free booze and then make complete and utter asses out of themselves and their nation by puking, pissing, shitting and passing out in their own filth in cultural and public places of the said countries, much to the disgust of the locals. I mean, ask anyone about what they picture a Finn like in Russia and Estonia, and they'll say that a Finn is generally someone lying face down in a pool of his or hers own puke. That alone makes me ashamed for Finland.

That's about it, apart from the weather and the short sailing season, but that doesn't really count as giving Finland a bad name.

As for Russia... Hmm, where to start. Too much crap, honestly.

1. Corruption, total and all-prevasive. It is everywhere, govenment money squandered, investments pissed away, money that could be used to improve the lot of an ordinary Russian citizen just ending up in the pocket of some bureaucrat.

2. The selfish attitude that partially stems from the above problem of corruption. Nobody is doing anything for me, so why do anything for anyone else? So the people live in a crumbling society, whining and bitching that no-one is doing anything about it while doing nothing about anything themselves. Of course, some are trying to make a difference, but they are very, very, VERY few.

3. The undertones of racism and antisemitism in the mind of an ordinary Russian that just keep getting stronger. I am not talking about the educated minority here, but your ordinary factory worker, truck driver, general labourer. There have been numerous cases of murders commited by racist bands of thugs, killing foreign exchange students that happend to have a darker colour of skin than they do. And those cases are on the rise.

Those I guess are the main problems that came into my mind. I don't really have a problem with Putin, and I do think that Russia needs a tough president like him to put the country on the right track.
