What’s The Best Thing, About Others?

[lional6]

What do you like about other nations or nationals?

Too hard to do as a poll, so this time you will have to do some work.

British is their music

Americans is their politeness

Germans is their efficiency

French is for their desserts

Thailand worlds best food

Australians Input please.

List whoever you want.

I've learnt one thing in my 3 years here and that is that every nationality has its share of the above and their share of absolute &lt;deleted&gt;, drunks etc etc.

When i lived in the UK I had some narrow minded thoughts about other nationalities, Not all cases of course by my thoughts before have turned out to be completely true. (including us brits before you flame me).

But as far as your list is concerned i would say-

Brits- yes. rudeness, yobs etc, narrow mindedness

Germans- yes/ no, rudeness. great cars and sausages.

French- yes, rudeness, hatred of brits

Thai's- Not the worlds best but delicious, best wife (in my case) friendlyness (the normal everyday people), dozyness, too care free.

Australians- Can I get back to you on that one

But its all part of life and nobodies perfect so who care's.

Cheers

BTW the rudeness remarks are based on me watching the way some customers treat my thai staff (and myself sometimes) . not all are bad though.

I could go on for hours about this subject.

My flamethrower is broken, there is good in anybody just tell me what you see.

Not really about the people . but a few of my favorite things.....

[Jockstar]

Brits and thats not just the English can be total yobs. But the good ones out number the &lt;deleted&gt;

Germans. Nice cars and beer. Not met too many so cant comment.

Americans i find loud and abnoxious. though i have met some cool ones.

French. So far up their own arse, hate the brits and many others that are not French. But then again i'm sure you can get some good ones.

Thails have great food and genuinly decent people. But you will also get &lt;deleted&gt;. The good out number the rest.

Aussies are great people. Got some great mates. I'm also an Ozzie resident. Though i find the Kiwis more friendly.

I think that every natioanality have good as well as bad people. Just take each person as they come. Where ever they are from. If they are ###### then dont hang out with them. Simple!

[Laurie]

Every country has its stereotypes but one's personal opinion is shaped by the representatives that each of us come accross. For every rude englishman Daveinthailand might meet, someone else might meet a rude Aussie, German or American.

We are all citizens of the world, aren't we?

Baseball was created in America but it isn't just Virginia farm boys hopping around those big ballparks you know? Professional American Baseball has everyone from Korean phenoms to dirt-poor Dominicans playing in it's leagues. No matter what country a person might be from, if they're good enough, they can play. The "World Series" it might not be but the countries of the world, albeit not all, are represented so it's the closest thing there is.

No - it was created in England in Tudor times and called rounders. Check out this

[poolcleaner]

All nationalities have their bad examples but the one country who's natives do get on me tits is the Yanks.

No, not all of them but there's a running joke about the yanks who use the "I'm in the Secret Service" or "I'm a Navy seal" etc. etc.

Whilst having a quiet bevvy in the Beergarden on Monday the poor fellow next to me had to suffer such drivel from a skinny but very loud American of at least 60 years.

Why would some one who works for a secret Govt organisation go to Thailand and then tell everyone what he does?

Are Americans so insecure that they habitually have to lie about themselves?

I had to move as I thought after I had given him a somewhat 'withering look' and he proceeded to tell his unfortunate audience how deadly he was in a fight "Not that I start fights, mind you" that if I had a few more beers i might put this braggart to the test.

Which would only give Aussies a bad (worse) name as bar brawlers.

I've never heard a Brit, Aussie, German ("I voss in der SS") ever bullshit as much as the yanks.

[Thaddeus]

Slightly off topic (very OT actually ) but I do believe that the only sport invented in America was Basket Ball.

[Marmite the Dog]

I'm only going to post a positive comment, so only one country gets a mention.

Australia - nicest people I have ever met (No, I'm not an Aussie, I'm a Pom).

You're French then Darknight eh ?

ps My Fave beer is Leffe.....

[gburns57au]

Aussies....we hate everyone else....not in a hatred sense mind you...its just that all these other people dont understand why................

We have to insult our mates

some of us have odd nicknames like Blue and the others always end in "ey"

we sometimes prefer a beer than a root

same with football and cricket and sex

we run down to the bar after sex to tell our mates

why all the girls are called Sheila

Why we get maggoted and not drunk

Why our dog is really our best friend and not the missus

Why marriage does not need to be consummated that night....especially during the footy season

why we dont all have kangaroos as pets.

why we feel the need to take the Piddle out of ourselves

NOpe , Flemish belgian , the best between the dutch and the french ...

aah , leffe .... dark or blond ? a real classic with a morcel of cheese next to it.

[Ted]

Felt like someone had to stick up the French so I'll have a stab at it

How about the wine, the cheese, the baguettes, the fact that knowone seems to have a problem with dinner lasting for 4 or 5 hours and finally the sexiest of sexy accents on the French girls
