Stupid quiz for ya now

[ddstory]

See, I'm kinda dumb*, so this was the smartest thing I could come up with to-evening. You're welcome to laugh at me.

It's the old worn-out quiz: "Which are the 3 top... X".

So my question to you is this. Which are the 3 things you love the most about your respective society, and which are the 3 things you hate the most?

I'll ask those who choose to

Country: Canada

It's interesting, because in international travel, Canadians are very high on my personal list of people who are the most polite and pleasant to talk to in general. I've met one horrible Canadian in my day, and that's pretty good statistics, since I meet a lot of people.

Yep, canucks are way up on my list of international favourites, along with Scandinavians and Latin Americans. Sometimes the French are nice, but they are also often spectacular douchebags (I know the same goes for Australians; meet one of us at a time and we're awesome, as a group we can be very boorish).

I haven't been a lot of places, Denmark, Israel, and Vietnam, I know scores (if not hundreds) of Canadians and Brits, and the one thing I have found is most places (including our wildly divergent states) the vast majority of people everywhere react and interact based on Me/You and I would imagine you like I find people polite and pleasant everywhere.....but Canadians really are special :D

Aw, I'm blushing at all the love for Canadians :D

[anfalicious]

The world is full of awesome people and arseholes :)

[geezer_also]

Exactly, and my point is, for the MOST part the percentage of which one meets is determined by one's attitude :D

[anfalicious]

Right on.

Of course we have assholes,but in general we just have this need for everyone to like us. I have met only one Swede in my travels but he was very nice. And I will never forget him because the first thing he said to me when finding out where I was from was "Canada! You have very nice skies there" It was odd but endearing at the same time.

hahaha, trust me, it is a typically Swedish thing to say!

I lived in Calgary for two years, and as far as I can tell, everything you said is totally, utterly true. Except I think Harper is really a mutant Ken doll.

He does have the hair. But he has children so I'm guessing no on the lack of boy parts.
