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

Great idea. I liked learning about Icelanders

Most countries are beautiful geographically. I thought we were talking about societies of people. :-)

1) That the USA is a real-life alien space bats story. Seriously, we're the luckiest damn society on the planet. And I love every minute of it, as I'd rather not be in one of the unlucky ones

I was almost beginning to worry that you wouldn't bring up the Civil War.

I don't recall mentioning Libya anywhere in that comment.....

We love horses too. Also ponies. Some of us still go to work on horseback. In the city. You should move.

Which are the 3 things you love the most about your respective society, and which are the 3 things you hate the most

Spoken like a true Briton. I bow to you, Sir.

No girls on the internet?

Yep. This is the place I know, and love alright !

The only other thing I would add is that 'religion' in Britain usually means either Catholic ( a foriegn import) or the C of E (aka 'the Tory party at prayer'), or 'Nonconformist'. Although I suppose that there are so many British citizens these days who can identify as Sihk or Moslem or something else that this will not apply for much longer.

The Quakers, the Salvation Army, Traidcraft, Methodists, Weslyans, Make Poverty History, William Wilberforce and the Abolition Movement, Oxfam - they were all made in Britain, and all had a background in religious movements or even were religious movements in their own right.

Religion, over here, is not just about banning gays and abortions. It is also about tolerance and caring for the less fortunate.
