The question is do you like your own country or not .

could be worse, crime rate is pretty low round my neck of the woods.  And when I think what my alternates to staying put are...  Britain has horrible food and unpleasant weather, Europeans have no respect for personal space, Japan has insane population densities, everything south of the border is owned by drug kingpins, Canada has cold weather and high taxes, India also has horrible food, the Middle East is just plain out of the question, Australia is full of criminals and deadly animas, and Africa is unfit for sustaining human life. 


We could do with tougher immigration policies though, ours are actually less stringent than most countries.

ITT: People bawwwing when they're in fact pretty confortable. Probably not intended by OP, but whatever. Hey, if you're not happy about your opinion of your country, do something about it. And by that I don't necessarily mean politics.

Where I live ? Far from the worst place to live, and IMO certainly not the best place to live as well. But I'm a difficult man.

Scotland is alright but everyone thinks of Scottish teens as getting totally hammered every night and fighting everyone they can see. I live in a bit that isn't that bad but loads of kids in my year and the year below are getting totally hammered every night and smoking just outside the school gates cos they think no-one can see them.

Also, if a headbutt is the Glasgow Kiss, that says something about how they think we treat everyone else.

Whether or not something is a country is not dictated by personal choice. England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are all classed as countries and are part of the United Kingdom (well, saying that, technically only northern Ireland is part of the UK). Also a kilt is not a dress. A kilt is a kilt, hence why it is called a kilt. Also, if I remember correctly, a dress is one that covers the whole body, a skirt is what only covers the lower half. Even then, kilt =/= skirt. Kilt=kilt, skirt=skirt, dress=dress.

Also, 'Scotland' requires a capital letter, as does 'Englishman'

This.

UK sucks. Weather is ehhh in East Anglia (I live in Cambridge, suck on it) and there are plenty of decent schools and historical place (see cambridge), but the current governmental policies are dumb as all hell atm.

If there was a country I wanted to live in it would probably be Norway, Sweden or Finland; good education (especially Finland), some of the highest living standards in the world (the highest in the case of Norway) and decent employment rates.

could be worse, crime rate is pretty low round my neck of the woods.  And when I think what my alternates to staying put are...  Britain has horrible food and unpleasant weather, Europeans have no respect for personal space, Japan has insane population densities, everything south of the border is owned by drug kingpins, Canada has cold weather and high taxes, India also has horrible food, the Middle East is just plain out of the question, Australia is full of criminals and deadly animas, and Africa is unfit for sustaining human life. 


We could do with tougher immigration policies though, ours are actually less stringent than most countries.
High taxes isn't really an issue when you have decent employment rates, which can't be said for the US atm (though Canada and UK and so on are also suffering currently). In addition it's got some of the highest inequality rates of any highly developed country; add to that the excessive patriocism (I can't even stand people going "God Save The Queen" over here, sorry TRB) and heavy homophobic communities in some states and really I would hate to live there long term.

Seriously though, the Scandinavian countries would be my favorite areas to live in, followed by maybe Luxembourg or Liechtenstein (which isn't in the EU and has virtually no unemployment, so EU bashers take note).

On the actual topic, Netherlands.. Not that great. sh**ty laws even make it so that you can get punished for defending yourself. Mostly retarded politics that get to say stuff. ****ed up education.
Area I live, the rest of NL doesn't give sh** about it and just has multiple powerplants placed here and other stuff like some big factory that works with chemicals and burns up a lot of waste. The air in my area, well it can't possibly be any form of healthy (maybe most polluted part of NL).
And despite all that sh**, I still wouldn't want to leave.

Something else I didn't know until a few months ago, is that if you set up a wind turbine in Scotland, then no matter where in the country the electricity it generates is going, you'll be charged the same transmission fees as if it was going all the way to London. Why that is, I have absolutely no idea.

Don't forget about Northern Ireland. Although when it all inevitably splits up, I wonder whether they will change the name to something other than the British Isles. Then again, I don't really care, I am sure that both countries will find something wrong with being separate. It will either go horribly wrong, or just about alright. It's just a good thing that the USA hasn't decided to try to all be separate yet. If that happened, I'm pretty sure that sh** would hit the fan hard and fast.

My opinion of Britain.

I'm sort of a mix and match here. I do like being in a city, because of this strange sense of adventure I have, coupled with a strange (Though somewhat lacking) admiration for the buildings around me. I like to see more towns and cities, cos going into the same old town center here in Northampton is getting rather monotonous.

Though I really like area's with huge fields, lots of grasslands, hills and forests. There's a small wood like area near me, It's too damn small for me. Which usually has an end result of me travelling halfway across Northampton by bike to find a good field or forest for me to relax in and read a book or something.

I am indeed a strange boy.

I'll elaborate: So here in murrica the food industry's company's such as micky d's and coca cola and all those are competeing against eachother by making the cheapest food possible to make the largest profit. Therefore, the stuff the food's made out of gets, the crappier in quality it gets. For example: did you know that beef here is injected with ammonia because it's good at killing echoli ?
So i think, there should be just one megacopration who has a monopoly on the food industry. Therefore, quality of food is higher because of there being no competition, and everyone's happy.

but one entity should never hold too much power, it'll corrupt waaaaay too easily. and they will probably attempt to make advances at the goverment(s)

if the corps are stripped of all lobbying power, and MUST follow guidelines, there can be variety AND good quality without any of that megacorp nonsense.

here's france's war record btw:
The following is Frances war record.
- Gallic Wars
- Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or at this time in history, a Roman -ed.]

- Hundred Years War
- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted.

- Italian Wars
- Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

- Wars of Religion
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

- Thirty Years War
- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

- War of Revolution
- Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

- The Dutch War
- Tied

- War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War
- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

- War of the Spanish Succession
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.

- American Revolution
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

- French Revolution
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

- The Napoleonic Wars
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

- The Franco-Prussian War
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

- World War I
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late -ed.]. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

- World War II
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

- War in Indochina
- Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu

- Algerian Rebellion
- Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

- War on Terrorism
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

Along with England and Canada and Russia (yeah, those "commies" you trash) and Poland. Fact is that really the Western front really wasn't as important in actually ending the war when the deciding capture of Berlin was done by the Eastern Front. Now stop being arrogant.

Also, while the War probably wouldn't have been won without the US just imagine the crap we'd all be in if it wasn't for the fact that Russia provided a bunch of the war effort.

Finland is better (no. 11).

be mad.
Plus your own little butt buddies Israel ranks higher.

However, I'd like to state NFX's list is a measure of economic equality rather than overall living standard. By Human Development index the USA is fourth, but isn't very equal at all. Since Norway, Australia and the Netherlands have very similar IAHDI and HDI results that means that they are more equal in terms of high living standard.

By GDP PPP (as in how much the country can actually spend) the US is smashed by Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Norway. Proportionately to population it's doing even worse.

One thought does come to mind on the matter, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a seperation from the rest of the UK, only to accept Dominion from the EU doesn't seem to my mind representative of Independence. It's basically swapping from one master to another- and a considerably worse one at that.
Whatsmore, if Scotland does end up becoming a full-blown member of the EU with its miserable single currency, how long would it be until the other British nations (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) are forced to follow suit?
 
I might not be the brightest one on the matter, but common sense makes me think- stick with Britain and the Pound. The further all four of us remain away from Europe, the better- just look what happened to Ireland.

While perhaps true, several Eurozone countries have also benefitted while under it as their currency. Also, the fact is that the EU is overall the strongest economic power in the world; in addition Scotland may follow the political direction of several of the more successful EU countries and be able to follow it through due to the sheer amount of skilled workers who head to England and Scotland at the moment. In addition it might mean they don't need to have their heads up the US's ass constantly like we have for a very long time. (Plus Ireland has a greater GDP that us, which may be an obvious advantage of being in the eurozone, which makes sense considering the successes of Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Netherlands, ect.) Also, Scotland has a monstrous potential for capitalizing on renewable energy which it has the perfect enviroment for. Lastly, Scotland is the largest exporter of petrol.
Simply put, they have good potential to survive on their own rather than feeding their cash to us, and if they do join the eurozone the potential for exports will just increase.

Yes...on a side note, and this probably irrelevant, but if it does go ahead, then hopefully they'll at least keep the Pound (Scottish or otherwise) as currency rather than the Euro, still use the white stripe on the Union Jack, and keep good trade and relations with the rest of the UK rather than completely isolating themselves.

Or at least...if it'll work or not. Sorry.
They've got a few less crackpots than us :P
Hey, I like being a crackpot  XD
 
One thought does come to mind on the matter, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a seperation from the rest of the UK, only to accept Dominion from the EU doesn't seem to my mind representative of Independence. It's basically swapping from one master to another- and a considerably worse one at that.
Whatsmore, if Scotland does end up becoming a full-blown member of the EU with its miserable single currency, how long would it be until the other British nations (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) are forced to follow suit?
 
I might not be the brightest one on the matter, but common sense makes me think- stick with Britain and the Pound. The further all four of us remain away from Europe, the better- just look what happened to Ireland.
While perhaps true, several Eurozone countries have also benefitted while under it as their currency. Also, the fact is that the EU is overall the strongest economic power in the world; in addition Scotland may follow the political direction of several of the more successful EU countries and be able to follow it through due to the sheer amount of skilled workers who head to England and Scotland at the moment. In addition it might mean they don't need to have their heads up the US's ass constantly like we have for a very long time. (Plus Ireland has a greater GDP that us, which may be an obvious advantage of being in the eurozone, which makes sense considering the successes of Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Netherlands, ect.) Also, Scotland has a monstrous potential for capitalizing on renewable energy which it has the perfect enviroment for. Lastly, Scotland is the largest exporter of petrol.
Simply put, they have good potential to survive on their own rather than feeding their cash to us, and if they do join the eurozone the potential for exports will just increase.
Yes...on a side note, and this probably irrelevant, but if it does go ahead, then hopefully they'll at least keep the Pound (Scottish or otherwise) as currency rather than the Euro, still use the white stripe on the Union Jack, and keep good trade and relations with the rest of the UK rather than completely isolating themselves.
England's still a member of the EU, so relations would probably still be kept fairly nice, but I see no reason for them to promote patriotism (which is bad enough in any country if you ask me; then again, I'm one cynical bastard anyway :laughing) of something they no long belong to.
Fact is there is no reason for Scotland to have to be under our thumb constantly. If I were Scottish I'd see no reason to hold respect for a nation which tried and succeeded at capturing it. In effect having the union jack as its flag will promote or at least respect the ridiculous imperialist attitude the English had for a very long time; the fact that we have a bunch of countries in the commonwealth and the fact that we hold ridiculous amounts of offland territory such as the Falklands and Bermuda only furthers that.

That slipped into rant mode, plus my views got pretty damn harsh there, but it's my two cents.

Hmm, those are good points. Not saying that they should keep it as their flag though, Just thought that the Union Jack would look a bit rubbish without the white stripes behind the cross of Northern Ireland, so that's why I brought that into consideration.
 
One final thing- would Scotland remain part of the Commonwealth, though? That's something else I've wondered, considering nations like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa did after they left the British Empire.
I assume they probably are, considering they're due to host the Games in 2014, but I'm not 100% certain.

Uh honestly ? nope.

It was colonization. Conquest. The very state of Israel was built on previously Arabian lands, and with spilling of Arabian blood ! (sure it was badass but we're not discussing that, we're discussing if it is right or not)

It seems like the US just but in halfway through the war.

You have a point there, but i'm pretty sure the reasons for the US attacking the Third Reich was long-term self-preservation, AND also that the Germans (i think) sunk a cargo ship aimed for the UK, because it was holding weapons...

...oh no wait that was WW1. Did the Americans attacked Germany because it was allied with Imperial Japan and Japan had the first strike or what ?

In the case of the former point, that was the RMS Lusitania-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania)
A passenger ship that was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland by a German Submarine, killing 1,198 people.
 
In the latter case, I'm not certain of all the reasons, but Pearl Harbour (Which was deliberately bombed by the Japanese Air Force in 1941, whilst the US was neutral) was definitely a catalyst for the US joining the war.

To address the topic of the thread, I have an incredibly poor opinion of the United States. If I were able to apply for citizenship in Canada, I'd have moved there a long time ago. My ex-boyfriend lives in Canada, if things had worked out I'd have been able to live there. :( Oh well.

Haha, well now here's the big question: Are you crushing on me because "I'm RFS" or is it because you're legitimately interested?


At the risk of sounding incredibly self-absorbed and narcissistic I get the former too often. Not in the scope of being "RFS", but mostly because I'm relatively well known in certain circles of the goddamn furry fandom and I have a number of creepers and unwanted followers who want in my pants solely because I'm popular and not because they care the least bit about my feelings. It kind of hurts. >_>


Honestly, though, I'm not sure if I'm legitimately open about looking for someone right now. Even then, I'd like to find someone with interests similar to mine. :c


e: augh this is awkward :(
