Alright, I'll play along.

England

"The greatest" put it best, "where bad food meets bad teeth".

Ireland

Potatoes and drunks.

Iceland

Exiles.

Norway

Red cheeks and sheep's eyes for dinner.

Sweden

Biased.

Finland

Blonde mongols, apart from the mixed ones.

Portugal

Basically African.

Spain

A proud legacy. Now wannabee-casanovas with hairy backs.

France

Garlic smelling cowards.

Denmark

Smokers of the factory chimney kind.

Luxembourg

Germans not allowed to be German.

Belgium

Artificial country.

Holland

As impressed as I am by their history, I can't help but think of prostitutes and drugs.

Germany

Great country. Less great than it has been.

Switzerland

Wealthy country. Less German than it should be.

Italy

The north: Lovely. The south: A cesspool.

Malta

Heavily mixed descendants of crusaders.

Poland

What can I say. The country that should not be.

Austria

Equally great as Germany, but more proud of being that.

Czech Republic

Böhmen & Mähren= Great German land.

Hungary

Formerly sincere fascists, now most known as a tourist destination.

Slovakia

Shouldn't exist if it weren't for the founder Adolf Hitler. To no use.

Slovenia

The most southern part of Grossdeutschland.

Croatia
Bosnia and Herzergovina
Serbia
Montenegro
Kosovo
Macedonia

A bunch of infighting. Don't care who wins, as long as they're not Muslim.

Greece

Mixed descendants of a great civilisation. Now, I couldn't separate them from a gypsy by looks alone.

Bulgaria

Proud slavic people.

Romania

Informally known as "Gypsyland".

Estonia

It's proper name is Estland. I think that says it all.

Latvia

Poor country, lovely capital.

Lithuania

Ugliest flag ever.

Belarus

Probably better than reported in media.

Ukraine

Cossack country.

Russia

Wants to be so much, but fails due to lack of intelligence and productivity.

Italy

Oh my God those crazy Italians. They won't even stop for the Pope, let alone their own mother! But with crazy comes with some of the best tasting food in the world! :D

Malta

Closer to Tunisia than to Sicily? Not sure what makes it European, how do I know it's not just an island belonging to North Africa? I suppose it's cause of the Knight Hospitallers or something, but still...

Poland

Always causing a ruckus on the regional scene.

Austria

Hapsburg Empire :D

Czech Republic

Where beer is cheaper than water! :D

Scottish Inventors and Inventions
The average Englishman in the home he call his castle slips into his national costume, a shabby raincoat, patented by Chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow, Scotland.

En-route to his office he strides along the English lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland.

He drives an English car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop, Veterinary Surgeon of Dreghorn, Scotland.

At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by John Chalmers, Bookseller and Printer of Dundee, Scotland.

During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh, Scotland. At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, Blacksmith of Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

He watches the news on television, an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland, and hears an item about the U.S. Navy founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.

Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots.

He has by now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the Bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot, King James VI, who authorized its translation.

He could take to drink but the Scots make the best in the world.

He could take a rifle and end it all, but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland.

If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming of Darvel, Scotland, and given chloroform, an anesthetic discovered by Sir James Young Simpson, Obstetrician and Gynecologist of Bathgate, Scotland.

Out of the anesthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank of England founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland.

Perhaps his only remaining hope would be to get a transfusion of guid Scottish blood which would entitle him to ask:

"Wha's Like Us?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Originator
Who invented that? It was T. Anderson Cairns.

Tom Anderson Cairns was born in 1930 in Rutherglen, Scotland. He trained in Glasgow as a Physiotherapist and subsequently joined the Royal Air Force. Tom spent 10 years in the RAF and had the time of his life. He travelled extensively and revelled in the distinctiveness of peoples throughout the world, including even, those from England(!). Tom was an outgoing, sociable man who enjoyed the art of conversation; normally over a whisky or two! Throughout his life, Tom pursued his interests in photography, Scottish history and football(!). In 1979, while he was working as a physiotherapist in Glasgow, Tom published his famous prose wha's us?

So you are suggesting there is an another country in Europe called Macedonia that I have never heard for before? The only 'recognized' Macedonia in Europe is FYR Macedonia and as such it have nothing to do with Alexander the Great.

Ex Communist state created by Tito as a Republic which was part of SFR Jugoslavija, pretty much inhabited by Bulgarian and Serbian (loads of shiptars nowadays too) people that imagined in their heads they are nation for themselves, nothing to do with Alexander the Great beside the region under which it got it's name.

Alexander the Great was supposedly from a modern Northern Greek's region of Macedonia with a capital in Thessaloniki.

France : Nice countryside, lame army, hot girls

What ?!?

Sure, some too-stupid-to-breathe American GWB supporters may deride you as cowards and as "surrender monkeys", but come on mate, take even the most cursorial look at the military history of your country, and you'll see that nothing could be further from the truth!

Okay, so you got your ass kicked by the German Wehrmacht. Too bad. But the question is, was there any army on Earth at that time in history who would have done better ?!? I think not.

Have you forgotten all about Charles Martel (who stopped all of Europe from being turned into some Stone Age Muslim hellhole) or Joan of Arc (the straight up coolest military commander of all time? ??

EDIT:

Disclaimer: any American smart enough to find his or her way to the Apricity is automatically above the sort of Americans I described ihere.

I'm married to an American myself, you know, and she is the most intelligent woman I've ever met or even heard about.

Actually, his whole post is ridiculous regarding most things, a quick update on most European countries would not hurt :cool:

The part about France and the lame army was rather wow to me too.

Ouszo, we are all entitled to our opinions my friend. :) Dronckaert's post was far from ridiculous; his answers were his own personal thoughts. Personal perspective with respect to what each and everyone of us thinks of these fine European countries is the objective here. Nothing more, nothing less. :)

so we both agree on this one

I've posted here since december and I pay for this forum

that is irrelevant when it comes to the discussions

so before you call my post "ridiculous", take a look at your own stuff.

yup, just did

did not call people hooligans, connect a country with aids for no reason or logical explanation, called one of the greatest military forces ever lame, share pieces of recognized country between others with no valid historical or political ground, I will ignore connecting Poland with vodka etc

and beside, i was not serious in my post but i guess that is my bad, i'll give you that

I don't know about the rest of Europe, but Finland has the third highest per capita rate of firearms ownership in the world, America (I love that "FUCK YEAH" song btw) being number one, and number two is some Arabic country, don't remember which one.

But the vast majority of guns owned by Finns are hunting rifles or shutguns. As recently as 10 years ago, the idea of a person having to carry a handgun for self-defence would have seemed completely absurd. Unfortunately, it no longer seems so. Want to guess why? :(

Talking about recent reality and situations doesn't mean "your country sucks" and you hate it at all (if you hate your country that means you hate yourself, therefore you are just a feature suicider)...At least no one here seems to be such a loser.

Indeed! Criticizing your country and hating or saying my country sucks are two different things, I have more respect for niggs and my 'enemies' who respect what they are than for the people who hates their own country, if they cannot respect where are they from how in the hell are they gonna expect anyone is gonna respect them as individuals??

haha, I remember a thread on some forum, 'nonwhite prowhite' in which some mud was talking how he admires white race and hates his own asking to be allowed in, man, I never had less respect for a non-white or anyone else in my life than at that very right moment I had for that guy.

Face it, you guys just blew it up. ;)

If Finland would have fought till the end in a losing battle against a superior enemy, ending up as a Soviet Socialist Republic, how in your opinion would Germany have benefitted from that?

And it was actually Stalin who wanted to see some action instead of peaceful retreatment of German troops into Norway - threatening to send Soviet troops to "help" us against them..

Wrong. Europe is one continent with multiple cultures and civilisations. Some of them are more developed than other civilisations by objective standards. All happenings of the past are the keys to the situation of today and, thus, to the future. People must once and for all understand that Europe is not a monolith of equivalent nations and cultures. By contrast with Great Britain, Germany, France or the Netherlands countries like Romania or Bulgaria play the second fiddle. Acceptance of these blatant differences is no irreverence but a necessary notice of comprehensive truth.

Am I disrespectful to your country and culture? Nope. Be a proud Bulgarian girl and dignify your culture. It is your undetachable right and you have my support as an ethnic nationalist.

Do I evaluate your country and culture as second class in comparison with the highest adcanced European civilisations? Yes, I do. History is on my side. Not that I hate Bulgaria or deprive your country the status of a cultural nation. Not everyone can mess with the best.

If Europe is an orchestra, someone must play the more unimportant musical instruments. Their objective unimportance doesn´t make them dispensable. The absence of a xylophone or triangle can ruin a complete symphony.

Play your smaller instruments in a proud manner but don´t attack players of the dominating instruments for recognizing the facts.

Most of them are against any sense of preservation and are working hard towards dividing and depowering.

History is written by the winners. We just lost some important battles, which lead to the lack of significant historians and scientists on our side. Others just like to promote that "great mixing myths". Just like Germany and the anti Germanic spirits today. Similar things just happened earlier with us, that's the difference. However, every nation deserves its own destiny.
Anyway, I haven't spoken exactly about my country or your post itself, since I'm kind of used with the negative propaganda against it and don't feel offended, because these things don't refer to me as person, nor my family or friends. However, I answer you.

The problem here is the lack of reliable people, having whole the knowledge and powers to lead others properly.

Really???

Then, according to your logic, the current EU, with its political correctness, mass immigration and beaurocratic mode of governing (tending towards totalitarianism) is the peak of civilization and anyone opposing it, or unable to live up to its "standard", is by definition culturally backward and almost naturally destined to play the second or the third fiddle in the orchestra, or to play no fiddle at all, that is, to be thrown out from the civilized society. In that case it would include many people from your so-called developed countries, like many from this forum, for example, who don't like and are opposed to the current EU. Maybe it would include you as well, who knows.

If the current EU is the measure of all "civilization".

now I remember what Absinthe once said about some people's habit of judging countries and nations by narrow-minded petty bourgeois criteria.:rolleyes:

I think everyone felt that recent EU level of civilization. God sent EU to save us from the evil commies! In fact, being a part of the Eastern block we at least had our own production, even technologies. Seems the USSR at least knew how to use the potential of other nations, no matter "how big and loud their instruments were", even if it was only for the good of the communistic leaders, not the nation themselves. For now EU seems totally slighting about all his country member's inner potentials and bases of self development for the universal European welfare. This is what I call colonism, not union. I'm quite anticommunist myself, since I can blame the communism for the fall of my nation, but I haven't seen the positive sides of the so called European union for now. Full of "western" goods supermarkets, no customs on the borders? I've seen most of that things without the help of the mighty western nations. You haven't brought me out of the jungle, remember that.

What separates the civilization from the wildness? Stories about kings and their castles, artists, poets, composers, philosophers, forming the so called Western culture? We had our own, just centuries back, when your states didn't exist on the map yet. Other is called time difference and luck to be the recent winner. That's all. There are no greater, nor backward nations in Europe, just recent winners and losers.

But that is what the eu is, about creating a large market for its own products. And if that means some less market developed nations are entirely swallowed up... every company being a subsidiary... then too bad. (and by that, loss of all technologies and knowhow.. no own steel factories anymore, well.. dont be surprised if noone has a clue how to actually make steel)
So many joined the eu out of greed, expecting wealth for nothing...

Human rights etc niceties, well.. germany has never had this many political prisoners!
In the meantime the bribable politicans replace the decent ones, since ads buy votes... and the bribed ones dont care about anything but their next bribe... in the form of mismanaged eu development funds... money that is never looked after! Which in turn is funded by the plunder..

And thus hydraulic tyranny. Utter dependancy on the center for even the basest neccessities, having lost all skill and knowledge to corporate raiders. Only choise left is to either starve and fall really badly.... or support ever growing dependancy. And dont expect the terms getting better...

Many joined the EU expecting wealth of nothing, but only for themselves.
In fact no one asked us if we want to join the EU or not. Seems things as referendums are something utopic. I don't know a single person wanted to join the so called union, because we already knew what to expect from similar unions. In the same time no one made everything to show our disagreement. Not even protests. Mute nations look as backward nations, a well known fact.
Anyway, main problem is in the politicians themselves and the laziness of our own nations. Everyone now prefers to have a job, to be safe, to be fed. No one cares about politics and lets bunch of people candidate for politicians, then vote for them, then blame the mentioned above for their bad social situation.
Decent politician? Haven't heard about one recently. The whole system in gaining into politics makes you bribable.

The problem is that this so called new parties are well rebuilt old ones, with same people, different dye. People suffer from lack of interest for the party members, their past political life and connections and that is an essential mistake.
Usually parties lead by new to the political scene people never get the enough number of votes (4%) to enter the parliament. Propaganda is needed in the case, but you need medias for the purpose. The independent medias have influence only in certain closed circles, the mass ones are dictated by the current leading party and opposition. You can't go and shout your ideas in streets, promoted by a tin drum.

yes, those 4%, 5% etc limits spread out all over europe is the worst monstrosity, completely killing off most chances for change via politics. And we are to believe such laws were almost simultaneously erected... spontanely and from actual national needs... all over europe?!?

No, there we have the perfect evidence for corruption and conspiracy.

It hasnt been erected in finland yet, due to a leading party... has been in every government since independence.... that gathers no more than 3,8-4,5%. Those have been afraid they will be blocked, and thus lose their enormous historical power, like determining national policy when the two mainparties disagree in a coalition.

3 big parties at some 23% each... thus each coalition holds two and a balancer or two.

--------

The net is here, and thuis the greatest chance ever to break the massmedia. Creating your own media, and having 200+ people bombarding discussion forums, newspaper internet sites etc with their version. It takes 2 hours of work a day from each internet warrior... but its critical work. After a few months there just will have to be some change... better have a charismatic good speaker... with the tounge straight, to meet the need for live discussions.

Here much has been done, so much more remains... who would have thought about the need for stylists and marketers, lawyers etc... just to make a party look believable?
Suits, shoes etc... ugh...
And more pressure, always more pressure. cannot for a moment let it down..!

Media has been forced to take up our issues, and we still have to keep on pushing them. But the real policies are like greased lightning!
At one point massimmigration is about making prettier streets with colors, then showing tolerance, then unfilled jobs, followed by even more ridiculous excuses!

And at the same time managed to ever more clearly expose the inner group who ensures they remain.... people that profit enormously from lose money... housing, training and last but not least... lawyer services the state pays everytime one of these wonderful golden eggs rape, steal or whatever.

The same as the possibility to elect a government with less than 50% of the voting activity. That gives ethnic parties and such with regular supporters big privileges. Many normal people are just disappointed and don't vote, so at the end we are actually with government we don't want. Coalitions are something really unfair towards the ordinary elector, as well.

There are many people whose "personal experience" of some country is heavily tainted with their ready-made preconceived ideas they carry from their home country in their luggage like towels, so to say, which makes them see only those things they want to see, and overlook others which may not fit into their preconceived shemes, acquired through schooling, media, prejudice etc.

Even traveling into some country sometimes doesn't help to shake off such a priori views.

Here in Hungary too some people are all too ready to look down on, for example, Romania for the very same reason, employing similar criteria. I always say to those people: let's look at ourselves, we aren't that much better (two prime ministers thieves in a row etc). Now I do dislike Romania for other, historical-political reasons, but I refuse to judge it by these superficial criteria of shallow pretty bourgeois origin ("backwardness", low GDP, etc etc).

I am very well aware of that fact as well, but we've reached at such a point of idiocy and degradation that, in the fashion of "in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed are kings", I feel compelled to say "well...at least he's actually been there"

and no matter how biased and short-sighted, one is entitled to an opinion, as opposed to the majority of flamers whose allegations against nations are solely based on what they heard from "someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who had been there twenty years ago", as well as what they read on Stormfront ;)

Wrong. Europe is one continent with multiple cultures and civilisations. Some of them are more developed than other civilisations by objective standards. All happenings of the past are the keys to the situation of today and, thus, to the future. People must once and for all understand that Europe is not a monolith of equivalent nations and cultures. By contrast with Great Britain, Germany, France or the Netherlands countries like Romania or Bulgaria play the second fiddle. Acceptance of these blatant differences is no irreverence but a necessary notice of comprehensive truth.

Am I disrespectful to your country and culture? Nope. Be a proud Bulgarian girl and dignify your culture. It is your undetachable right and you have my support as an ethnic nationalist.

Do I evaluate your country and culture as second class in comparison with the highest adcanced European civilisations? Yes, I do. History is on my side. Not that I hate Bulgaria or deprive your country the status of a cultural nation. Not everyone can mess with the best.

If Europe is an orchestra, someone must play the more unimportant musical instruments. Their objective unimportance doesn´t make them dispensable. The absence of a xylophone or triangle can ruin a complete symphony.

Play your smaller instruments [ :D :D :D - jarl] in a proud manner but don´t attack players of the dominating instruments for recognizing the facts.

With all due respect, crap.

Poland: big poor country

Poland has pursued a policy of economic liberalization since 1990 and today stands out as a success story among transition economies. In 2007, GDP grew an estimated 6.5%, based on rising private consumption, a jump in corporate investment, and EU funds inflows. GDP per capita is still much below the EU average, but is similar to that of the three Baltic states. Since 2004, EU membership and access to EU structural funds have provided a major boost to the economy. Unemployment is falling rapidly, though at roughly 12.8% in 2007, it remains well above the EU average. Tightening labor markets, and rising global energy and food prices, pose a risk to consumer price stability. In December 2007 inflation reached 4.1% on a year-over-year basis, or higher than the upper limit of the National Bank of Poland's target range. Poland's economic performance could improve further if the country addresses some of the remaining deficiencies in its business environment. An inefficient commercial court system, a rigid labor code, bureaucratic red tape, and persistent low-level corruption keep the private sector from performing up to its full potential. Rising demands to fund health care, education, and the state pension system present a challenge to the Polish government's effort to hold the consolidated public sector budget deficit under 3.0% of GDP, a target which was achieved in 2007. The PO/PSL coalition government which came to power in November 2007 plans to further reduce the budget deficit with the aim of eventually adopting the euro. The new government has also announced its intention to enact business-friendly reforms, reduce public sector spending growth, lower taxes, and accelerate privatization. However, the government does not have the necessary two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto, and thus may have to water down initiatives in order to garner enough support to pass its pro-business policies.
So, Poland is average country. :)

No wonder people hate it. It's the very first time the Albanian Mafia had a whole country for itself.

On a socio-economic level, Kosovo is the Mexico of Europe. A Muslim Mexico.

If a romanian does not like the shared opinion of spaniards about their country, it should not justify to insult my Family, my father and these heavy offensive personal insults.

Direct way to the ban.

:rolleyes:

You called Romanians bastards, what do you expect?

Romania:
Bastards that sent us tons of thousands and thousands of their shit... of their gypsies.

Then are allowed the PERSONAL insults? :)

YES / NO

On a national level, it can be seen as an insult. What if I called all Spaniards `bastard scum?` - you'd see that as an insult, wouldn't you?

Besides, Romanians aren't at fault for sending Gypsies to Spain. As soon as they joined the EU, they decided to go on their own accord. Blame the EU, not the Romanians.

Spaniards are called everyday Moors. But Loki said maaaaaaaany times that this is different from personal insults.

But maybe the things have changed?... so:

Then are allowed the PERSONAL insults? :)

YES / NO

Personally no. But if you call Romanians `bastard scum`, what else do you expect? Horses for courses.

Btw, people call the Welsh `sheepshaggers` - I never get offended as it's not true (except on Fridays).

Greece Hairy and hairier, Turkish, Parthenon, philosophy, no one works there.

How silly! :no000000:

If no one worked then we'd all be dead now :P

Unfortunately for some people (including yours truly), the problem is that a lot of people don't work so those who do are always overworked and underpaid, in order to compensate for the other people's incompetence (otherwise nothing would run here).
Greece is divided in two basic groups: civil servants (and some other privileged professions),
and everybody else, who has to work damn hard in order to make a living.

Many TV shows from Spain have been broadcast around Europe -although not soap operas, that's true. But you'd be surprised. Médico de familia (which I've heard in Hungarian :D), Los Serrano (Finland, Serbia...), Un paso adelante (France), El Internado (Romania), and so on.

Romania:
Bastards that sent us tons of thousands and thousands of their shit... of their gypsies.

Sir...with all do respect, "we" did not send anything. The ones that left, left on their own free will.
Now, "you" (and by this, I mean your people, as obliged by your chosen leaders, that have accepted EU policy) have allowed "the shit"(as you kindly proceeded in describing humans) to come to your country and stay there.

I dont understand why you have to offend a whole nation, because of political issues. You see, Id never judge a forrest by its rotten trees, or by the disharmony amongst it, caused because of the unfortunate administration of the foresters. :) Id rather study its history, climate, trees, and all belonging to it, relate it to the surroundings, be in the middle of it...and then, and only then, reach a conclusion.
"Bastards" isnt a gentle word...
I hope your manners and good nature would help you see through the situation. You definitely strike me as a very intelligent gentleman.
Thank you!

Well associating us with Russians doesn't make sense. This isn't about bad/good, this is about how things are.

Associating Albanians with Russians makes considerably more sense and I'm not even joking. Estonians are completely unrelated to Russians in any possible aspect you can think of, sorry. :(

Germans, for instance, are also great people, but being "great people" doesn't make you similar to other people. Still, Germans are 50 times more similar to Estonians than we are to Eastern-Europeans.

You Eastern-European Slavs make great food, I personally love solyanka, but that is no Estonian food and not served in places that offer traditional Estonian cuisine. But yes, Eastern-European cuisine has gotten a strong foothold here with the Soviet times. Still, I eating solyanka and a Canadian eating tacos doesn't make me Russian nor him Mexican.

I doubt that Norway, Finland or Estonia automatically become Russian for being in the vodka belt.

Are you Russian or something? I know Russians like the back of my hand, as I have had to interact with these immigrants in my country for my entire life and they're very foreign in a country like Estonia. Maybe the Latvians find them less alien, because of your common Balto-Slavic origin with the Russians.

England: Anglo-Saxondom must be our ally in the fight against judeo-bolshevism! It is a beacon of Aryanhood. They are our Germanic brethren.

Ireland: The Irish have shown respect towards the Reich, and we shall therefore push Britain to give back Northern Ireland to the Irish folk.

Iceland + Norway + Sweden +Denmark + Luxembourg + Belgium + Holland + Switzerland + Austria: Small state rubbish! These states must be incorporated in the Germanic Reich! Their petty national flags and identities are a threat the survival of the Nordic people, and must be erased at all cost! New regional entities will be created for the Low Countries and Scandinavia. Hmmm, why not even build a German Singapore up there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordstern)?

Finland: They were our pals, until we remembered they were still a Jewmocracy...kill it with fire!!

Portugal + Spain: *sigh* If only this peninsula stopped chickening out because of our lil' war...

France: Even though we ranked them low in the übermensch ladder, they're still Aryanz', their social structure is rapidly negroizing itself, hence the need to not only push the Reich's border to Elsaß-Lothringen, but probably as far as Burgundy.

Germany: Ahhh, Der Vaterland! We are the last remnants of Nordic-Greek civilization! We possess more Germanic elements than any other nation in the universe! Everything we touch turns into gold, our poop turns into royal purple too!

Malta: Should go back to Benito's beloved Italy.

Macedonia + Greece + Bulgaria + Romania: Benito's bitches.

Poland 'Mordidland' + Czech Republic + Estonia + Latvia + Lithuania + Belarus + Ukraine + Russia: Living Space/Land for Aryanz'.

Hungary + Slovakia: The Reich's bitches.

Croatia + Bosnia and Herzergovina + Serbia + Montenegro: The racial component of these countries include the descendants of the Aryan Goths. We are talking about valuable Germanic blood here! They shall have a place of honour with the New Reich!

It was not the first time trolling and insulting Romanians was encouraged by the Fora leaders, in cases in which the Romanians involved did not insult at all or at least not in the same manner. Those who were on the Chat saw Don's PM to Athrox. Not banning the Spanish guy was awkward and deserved an explanation.

Retribution is the word.

You -cry baby- need also an explanation about why the poor poos are merciless treated by the toilet brush? Fight for the rights of faeces? OMG-NGO's!.

Now stfu and close your mouth regarding matters like retribution made to rats where no one called you, unless you want a warm toilet brush into it.

Re-tri-bu-tion. From flowers to toilet brushes. Your choice.

Our societies need more retributors and less NGOs idiots.

San Marino: Italian, should be part of Italy
Vatican: Italian but should remain the independent HQ of catholicism
Lichtenstein: Swiss German, Should be part of Switzerland as should Voralberg, fake nation solely for the purpose of making a noble family into a monarchy.
Andorra: Only "independent" part of Catalonia (if you can call joint Franco-Spanish rule that)
Gibraltar: Should annex Andalucia. ;)

.

San Marino is the oldest european state, and should remain independent because don't allow any kind of immigration except for ethnic italians or previous payment of € 800,000 for the citizenship.
Of 31.978 inhabitans, 31,969 are ethnic italians :laugh:

I got informed about San Marino immigration policy. You can enter only if you marry a Sammariner. It was my last hope to escape when we will crush like Greece and Ireland but it kicked me out. :thumbs up

I also support San Marino indipendency, I think that the whole Italy should be divided in small city-states, and also these States should fight each others so we keep economy high and continue to do what we have done in the last 1000 years: make our cities beautiful just to increase the neighbour's envy.

Chavs, bad food (although not so bad as frequently thought).

bad clothing/teeth, classy cars, old ladies, transvestites, bad although successful musicians, paki corner shops, dull landscapes,criket, monocles, absurd moustaches ,hooligans,awesome writers and world-class colonists. Darts superstars.Badmington

Lazy doctors , school uniforms, suck at basketball, fucktard politicians, TV license. Imperial Units (hell yeah) left-side driving (damn right),good humour, silence haters (not even Andalusians talk that much) , polite to the point of rude, absurd mannerism.

Forgetful about history when it hurts their enormous national pride (often) ,and irritatingly chauvinist when it comes to remember their merits.

Norther Ireland: self explanatory

Portugal= cod smelling, dirty, achieved democracy the best way, good people, great culture & nice songs, shitty food
Spain= snobs, noisy people, fog of tobacco, sexiness, tanning, unhealthy obsession with pork, salty food, seafood

England
Once-magnificent, but now being colonized by their own former subjects. The pinnacle of irony, and a just reward for World War II.

Scotland
A history of rebellious heroism, mysterious castles, forests and lakes, fierce women. What's not to like?

Wales
I do pity those poor sheep...

Ireland
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-64CaD8GXw

Iceland
A national park that has a nation.

Norway
Heil Quisling! Heil Breivik!

Sweden
Nils Holgersson; and what Loki said in post #44. Look it up... if you dare.

Finland
Talvisota, Perussuomalaiset; a great past and a promising future. Amazing landscape, aesthetic language and Big P Perkele.

Portugal
From Salazar to anarcho-communist mass-movements, they went a long way... down.

Spain
Reconquista, bull fights, long-term anti-Semitism, conquistadores, the Great Armada, Zorro, excellent football and many other cool things. But they really should have brought their own women when going a-colonising.

France
Napoleon? Fuck yeah! Trianon? Fuck no!

Denmark
:love0031:

Luxembourg
Neat little German city.

Belgium
Weapons, Tintin, chocolate and the ongoing gag that it doesn't exist. Oh, and Léon Degrelle. http://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif/bmi_orig_img/icon14.gif

Holland
I always found their historical cities extremely appealing, a real touch of old, medieval Europe. Now, if only they'd finally stop being the capital of liberalism and embrace their great Germanic heritage before it's too late...

Germany
Leaders of Europe since the Fall of Rome and steadfast comrades since we stopped raiding them. Time to throw down the shackles and bring in the Reich 4.0!

Switzerland
Proof that seclusion and isolation can work fine. Their mountains, sweets and clockwork are second to none.

Italy
The history. The architecture. The cuisine. The women. The music. The spirit. The buzz. What a wonderland.

Malta
Used to be fighting saracens for the glory of Christendom. Now feeding little saracens for the glory of UNICEF and Amnesty International.

Poland
„Lengyel, magyar – két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát.”

Austria
You mean Ostmark? Now that the cursed Habsburgs are no more, its place is with the rest of Germany.

Czech Republic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns http://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif/bmi_orig_img/icon14.gifhttp://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif/bmi_orig_img/icon14.gif

Hungary
I don't get it. What "beautiful women" are y'all on about?

Slovakia
Northern Hungary for over a thousand years. Now a laughable chauvinistic mini-state inventing its own history. Also, I'm older than it; WWII and modern years combined.

Slovenia
Pleasantly calm and civilized neighbours. And yes, Laibach is awesome.

Croatia
Healthy and strong people, valiant warriors, loyal allies. Their coastline is one of the most breathtaking in Europe; Mediterranean beauty combined with relatively low "Second World" prices make for a truly recommendable holiday destination.

Bosnia and Herzergovina
They bear the scars the Ottoman hordes left on Europe; their return to the faith of Christ would be a joyful, if improbable, development.

Serbia
Oh, I'm sure we'll get along just fine... after that minor territorial dispute has been settled, of course. Black Cat, White Cat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMjtZqm8PqU) is a must-watch. And they had Arkan, somebody men of the XXIst Century could learn a lot from. In masculinity and style.

Montenegro
I'm not a mountain-person, but I heard it's a gorgeous country.

Kosovo
If the people themselves wanted to secede, who is to tell them otherwise?

Macedonia
"FYROM"? I think any self-respecting, level-headed and future-oriented country should quickly get rid of a prefix as horribly-sounding as "Former Yugoslav Republic Of-".

Greece
First of all, it has Absinthe. Secondly, it also has things like islands, ancient ruins, more islands, revolutionary street dogs, did I mention islands?, earthquakes and a fascinating alphabet. Thirdly, by the power of Christ, I hereby compel you all to listen to Byzantine ecclesial music. It is enchanting and very, very underrated.

Bulgaria
I heard they shake their heads when they mean "yes" and nod when they mean "no". Is this true? Oh, and sorry about that thing back in 894. AD.

Romania
Vlad Tepes' Wallachia and forests of impaled bodies in the Turkish Wars. Those were the days. An often-underrated collective tendency to shrewdness, subtlety and cunning, all of which has served them well in the previous century. Too well. Say what you want about their Gypsy-infestation, but no European man should descend into the grave before having seen Transylvania once. 'Tis another world.

Estonia
Salutations. They fought like heroes, they were vanquished like heroes and they rose from the ashes like the phoenix bird. I will definitely have to visit the misty forests and eastern skyscrapers of this country.

Latvia
Much like the previous one, although less successful, but it's quickly countered by the fact they have Inese.

Lithuania
Hannibal Lecter. Another bunch of people who can tell you how it feels to blossom under the yoke of Living Socialism.

Belarus
Magical forests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Białowieża_Forest) in the west, radioactive forests in the south, and a badass authoritarian president who admires Hitler. In short: http://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif/bmi_orig_img/icon14.gif

Ukraine
Where, oh, where are the glorious days of the Cossacks and the White Army? What remains is remarkably corrupt politicians fluctuatig between West and East locking each other up, and misguided chauvinists agitating against ancient minorities. At least their femmes are aesthetic.

Russia
The apple might be polished on the outside, but it's sick and rotten on the inside. The "Great White Hope" of delusional American WNs, this country clearly was awarded more power - and responsibility - than it could handle.

You are totally detached from us Norwegians and who we are, as you can't seem to fathom our solidarty and comradeship with our fellow Norwegians wich goes beyond political affiliation.
