What's the best thing about your country?
http://www.fahrtipps.de/img/vz/40p/282.gif This is "Zeichen 282", a German traffic sign. It is a "limits no longer apply" sign, lifting speed limits—except general ones, for example for trucks—and "no pass" limits. As you might know, the German autobahns are famous for being some of the few public roads in the world without blanket speed limits for cars and motorcycles. This is extremely awesome. If you have a car that can go 150mph, you don't have to worry about stupid 80mph speed limits. Needless to say, most Autobahns are pretty crowded, so in fact, it's quite impossible to drive that fast, but oh well, it's still a good thing :) So what's the best thing about your country? |
Well i would have to say in America the best thing would be that the fact we have two states that look like body parts. Michigan looking like a hand, and Florida (ill just leave it up to imagination).

As for Canada, well, fuck, we got Skills somewhere amongst the thirty million of us and he's probably got giant robots and a harem of Japanese schoolgirls in his basement so that's gotta count for something. |
Air conditioning
Gotta love it |
Good thing about America?
No TV tax. |
Due process.

Best thing about Canada I think is the vast amounts of untouched wilderness. In the next few years I hope to be able to see these areas. I love going on a canoe trip and canoeing out to random islands in the middle of a lake in the middle of nowhere, and seeing nothing but nature. Nothing better. |
That it's impossible to traverse without sacrificing an ass load of time.
Oh wait, that's a negative. |

AND, America has a state that looks like an Indian's head--New Jersey! But, the best thing about America is the natural beauty of the place. |
USA: Too many to list.
Not my country, but Canada: Hockey! |
Our willingness to do whatever we think is right, regardless of what the facts say. That's willpower there.
Actually, I'm going to go with our College Education system. It sure isn't perfect, but find me a better one. |
I love how we have kangaroos jumping in all of our backyards, wombat digging burrows in our front yards, and koalas sleeping in the neighbourhood trees. Grab the vegemite and some lamingtons and you've got yourself a good time! I'm always sure to have my boomerang in tow though, just in case those emus and kookaburras get hungry.
Ah, what a country. |
The single greatest aspect of America is that erotic cake bakeries are legal.
|
But but but cakes are erotic by default. :(

Best thing about Sweden? No war, no terrorism, no tornados, no volcanos, no earthquakes :)
Also, our beautiful winter landscape. |
Universal healthcare is one thing that really doesn't suck about the U.K. in my opinion. Of course it's also one of the things that causes enormous financial problems for the government, and leads to our vast tax burden, but you can't have everything.
|
I think the best thing about the UK is our insistence on doing what the fuck we want, despite the best efforts of our government to stop us. I find it hard to believe there's any other country where the populace have such a widespread disdain for the law coupled with such a wilful self-destructive streak as in England.

The best thing about America? Diversity. This is the one country that will openly accept anybody (even the Jews), and the resulting homogenizing culture is kickin rad. Now, though, people are talking about keeping the Mexicans out, but I'm like FUCK THAT. I wanna eat tamales for thanksgiving, motherfucker. |
Free healthcare and multicuturalism wherever I look and not in certain areas only, are the awesome thing about Canada. Not a fan of hockey and lacrosse, but those would definitely spark pride in others.
|
The best thing about Canada:
A) Our tax money gets spent on things like universal health care and pensions, instead of trying to police the world. B) All that wilderness. C) Hockey. |
It exists.
|
It's been said already, but the fact that there is no "standard" American, i.e. the diversity. It makes life really interesting when everyone's family comes from different areas of the world.
That, and nuclear power. Yay for the U.S. government. |
The French have got us beat on nuclear infrastructure, so we can't exactly lay claim to it.
|
We made it. Well, our government did. So the French can do whatever they want, as long as they keep in mind where they got the goods.
