Danes are friendly, good humoured and slightly racist.

[Digital_Ice]

... and mean drunks

[Surprize]

About the Russian - they are mean and sometimes it seems they hate everyone.

[Ranman]

Every country has some mean and hateful people and Good and caring people (except the Brits, they're all cretins). As for me, I am a good and caring American, young and handsome(when i'm not sick) and very good at sex.

[Hazzle]

Cretins? Bah! We used to own you people. In fact we owned most of the world. It was precisely because we were good and kind that we gave it back.

We kicked you pussies arses 200 years ago and we can do it again

The Dutch made three big mistakes. Had we not, you would all be speaking Dutch.

1. We exchanged New Amsterdam for Suriname so the English could turn it into New York. We all know how that ended.
2. We didn't claim Australia when we found it (several times, but let's not be pedantic).
3. William III felt the need to fall of his horse and die. Otherwise you would all be OOOOURS.

Bit of a shame.

Pffft. We let you believe that. Just like we let you believe you won WWII.

actually, it wasn't untill the french got involved with all their european allies that the British were overwealmed, the prime minister resigned, and the new PM (who was a supporter of constitutional rights for colonists, and backed the claim for American independence) made sure the peace treaties were signed... but of course the British are never going to admit that the worlds most powerful empire was beaten by the French. And the americans are never going to admit that the British (excluding Lord North) didn't "loose" the america's but actually supported them getting independance.

I guess I have to put some input on this seeing as I have done a lot of traveling, although it's mostly in Asia. First off let me clarify, Asian girls don't have sideways vaginas . Although most Asians are a bit excentric, I only wish I could show you some pictures of the way the Asian guys dress, they all look like fairies (by that I mean they look gay). Seriously in Japan some of the men look more feminine than the women.

South Koreans are all queers, we had some South Korean Marines ride aboard my ship and they walked around holding hands and they would feed eachother at meal times. One time one of our sailors saw two Korean Marines walk out of the same shower stall. It's no wonder all the Asian girls want American boyfriends, or boyfriends from some other Westernized nations, all their own men are fruits.

Anyway, moving along. I have also been to Australia and I have to admit those were probably some of the coolest people I have ever met, not to mention some of the most gorgeous girls probably in the world. The best part was the girls were easy to approach infact some times they would approach us, they're very bold and self confident. Not like American girls at all who are usually totally stuck on themselves and extremely snobby when you try to talk to them.

This is kind of an ironic post considering I'm in the U.S. military and yet I'm the only American on the thread that's bad mouthing my own countrymen. Another thing I noticed in Australia is that they treated our servicemen better than our own countrymen do. In the states there's a lot of places where people will spit on you and call you a baby killer whereas in Australia when we went into pubs we had people buying us rounds of beer when they realized we were American military. Apparently the girls love it when we wear our uniforms too, I wish I had known that at the time because I just went out in ordinary civilian clothes. You don't get that in the states much either, atleast not from my part of the country, as snobby as the girls already are they're even snobbier to men in uniform.

So all in all I'm not even going to try and defend the way my fellow Americans act because it's true, most Americans are loud, abnoxious, and rude. I'm not saying they're all like that, just most of them. The funny thing is I didn't really feel this way until I joined the military and came back home for the first time to recieve nothing but scorn and hatred from my own countrymen.

Well that's enough ranting for today.

We brits like you.

What Ice said. Both times. There's someone who knows his history. Unlike Ran.

Oh...and the English think they're a major footballing nation, though except for the 1966 World Cup, they've been shit.

[Hazzle]

Tell me about it. I'm sick of people going on about how England are a major footballing nation and comparing us to the likes of Germany, Italy or even France. It's embarrassing. We're shit, we've been shit ever since football became more technical and less physical.

This has NOTHING to do with foreigners (there were few foreign players between 1966 and 1996 and no England trophies) and everything to do with the quality of coaching where physical attributes like stamina and workrate are praised more than technical ones. We'll never produce a Messi.

as someone who enjoys vodka its my opinion that the best vodka ive had is French in the form of Grey Goose or Polish in the form of Snow Leopard, i agree with you about Russians not being mean though, ive known some that are very friendly and fun not to mention stunning.

That... and you don't use soap or dental floss.

Americans are fat and lazy.
Canadians are pretty cool.
Brits have a weird sense of humour and are rubbish at sport.
The Dutch are clever.
The Germans have awful taste in food, no sense of humour, but care about the environment. Oh, and they're not very good at wars.
French are romantic ponces. But have pretty women.
Greeks are friendly. Well they were to my family anyway.
Aussies: From what I've heard, anybody who visits Australia doesn't want to come back. So Australians must be pretty awesome.
Spaniards all look the same.
Italians like pizza, pasta and mafia.
Chinese people don't know when to stop reproducing. But should do considering they're good at maths.
Japanese people like robots and pokemon.
The Irish are drunk religious madmen.
Scandinavians are clever, have strange languages and stay out of everyone's way.

On the whole, white men can't jump, black men can't swim and everyone's scared of Asians.

I am British so it'd be fair to say we're racist too.
