BF2S Forums For the world: How does your country see itself?

How does your country see itself?

As a Nurse Maid with Mexico sucking on its tit, bouncing a crying France on its knee, and putting Iraq in the corner.

Australia

We see ourselves as a fairly wealthy, well off, secular nation.

While we have a reputation for being 'outback' and 'outdoors', we are actually urban are affluent.

We do not have a militaristic culture. We ahve a very multicultural nation.

We have massive mineral and ore reserves and we are making maximum use of them.

I'll leave the rest to my many compatriots on these forums.

No were not. We have 70% of the worlds urainum yet we have only 1 nuclear power station. We should be inriching the uraninum to plutonium, selling it high prices and manufactuaring nukes. We , theroeticly, should be economical super power, but we are not.

We own.

We have a military of 4,000,000,000 x2 and we will kick anyone's ass who.....

Actually, thats BS.  We are a large country who needs to get off it's high horse.  We start shit and then claim to be the victim.  We invade countries for no reason.  We also have a lot of fat rich corporate oil barons who like to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.  Our goverment is largly corrupt at the moment and no one seems to care.  Pollution is an issue here, mainly because of people wanting to look pretty in thier Hummer H2's with 50 inch chrome rims with baby seal eye hubcaps.  Crime is bad.

Time for a "regime" change.


Ohh and on behalf of America, I apologize to the world for the U.S. being an extreme ASSHOLE.

What a tired old liberal saw, and I'll gladly take -100 karma points for saying so.

You also forgot to mention the pride people (including you, as you brought it up in another thread) take in getting away with multiple abortions on a yearly bases. That conflicts with my idea of morality more than owning a Hummer.

Hey I remember his abortion thread......and how the whole multiple abortions a year thing....was a joke. Yep a good ol' sarcastic joke to get some of you guys riled up. Looks like it worked Cougar, you unmoral bastard you!!!

This proves what sense of humour the wankers lack.....

and the topic was "How does you country see itself?", not the other way round.......

United Kingdom

I'm one of those people unlucky enough to have been born in Yorkshire, but have Scottish family. In other words my surname is McDonald. No Im not joking. If the internet had been invented a century ago I would be posting about the glories of the Empire. As it stands however I'll just say our nation is a shadow of it former glory, but still not own and out. My pwned the Taliban with the yanks and we pwned Iraq with them too. Perhaps I should point out that there were more friendly fire deaths on the British side than from the actually enemies, silly Americans

Technically, I know we're still stuck in Iraq but it had to be done, hopefully Trust me Tony and Believe me Bush will get out of there soon. Preferably after the Iraqis can defend themselves.

I hate chavs/neds/scallies/yobs whatever you wanna call 'em. The young hooligans that walk about in Burberry, cheap jewellery and tracksuits. OMG they suck. They're a blight on society.

We try hard to retain our sense of identity and culture but the political correctness in this country is insane. For example, Hundreds of Muslims march across London with banners and signs calling for death and destruction of the 'infidels', they call for the beheading of non-muslims, they call for murder and praise terrorism. What do our police do? They give them an armed fucking escort to avoid trouble. Wheres the sense? Arrest the fuckers and send them back the desert.
Also, a burglar is wounded in a womans home when trips and falls down the stairs and breaks his leg. He sues the woman and is awared £3,000 in compensation. Excuse me, what? The victim has to pay a thief because he is a crap burglar? Im sorry but that is just too much.

We have the highest average debt in Europe, the claims and compensation culture is bonkers.

Other than that I am immensly patriotic and love my country and Scottish roots to bits

you forgot scumbags and eegits!

and jakies.......I have no idea how to spell it but I'm sure you know what I mean......or is it a racist term? I dunno I picked it up off a guy from work a while ago but he was a proper Leith nutcase

Finland:

(I am not checking the bs I'm writing, so the information provided below can be incorrect in some occasions, and leaves 90% of everything unapproached)

The land of a thousand lakes (187,888 to be more precise), Nokia (the phones, the tires and the rubber boots), and large internationally listed forestry companies, Finland is located by the Baltic Sea. Neighbouring countries are Sweden, Norway and Russia (land borders). Although ranked thirteenth in the UN Human Development index and first in the WEF Global Competitiveness Report, Finland (IMO) has under the last years slowly gone in the wrong direction as the China-effect and other global phenomena have forced a deterioration in the once superior social system which has been a benchmark (and still is) to other western countries (with e.g. free healthcare, a public schooling system all the way to university level and a quite comprehensive financial support to those in need). Similar systems can be foud also in other Nordic countries.

Some military info ('cause I know you BF2-addicts want it)

Finland hasn't been in war since WWII (against the USSR), yet has a fairly large military reserve. Finland could mobilize 490,000 trained military personnel in a crisis situation. Basically all Finnish men are drafted into service at 18-20 years of age; they can choose between military- or civil-service. The military training period is 6 months for crew, 9 months for special service (e.g. MP, Transport, Medic), and 12 months for non-commisioned officers (Corp./Sgt) and officers (2nd Lt.). The civil service is 13 months. The basic military operation of the Finnish army is based (IMO) on a type of guerilla warfare with fast mobility and knowledge of the battleground.

Finns (again, IMO) have a slightly low self-esteem. As this could be considered a disadvantage, it is more something that makes us try a little harder.

Trivia (accurate or inaccurate, idc, it's my opinion):

- Currency: Euro
- Languages: Finnish, Swedish, Sami
- Population: ~5.3 million
- Capital: Helsinki

- The worst thing that can EVER happen to Finns is to lose to Sweden in hockey (DAMN OLYMPIC FINALS!! )
- The silent Finn is not being rude, he's observing
- The world's most swedish speaking township ( % of inhabitants) is in Finland (!)
- There are no polarbears in Finland and no, it's not always cold
- Late Nights Conan O'Brien looks in his opinion like Finnish president Tarja Halonen
- Linus Torvalds, Mr. Linux is from Finland (For all you nerds out there )
- According to the World Audit study, Finland is the least corrupted and most democratic country in the world
- Voltage: 230V, 50 Hz; Power connector: 2-pin round (German) (Interesting...)
- Miltary assault rifle: (Sako 7,62 RK 62 (AK-spinoff))
- Dallas Stars wouldn't be s**t without Finns (Neither would the Flames without Kiprusoff, nor the Canadiens without Koivu, etc.)
- One of the richest countries, but with one of the highest suicide rates (?)
- I think I'm done here, since it's time for lunch..

Attention all Finns! Complete, continue and correct the above if/when needed! Thank you!

As stated by one of my national comrades above....half the world claims to have had Irish heritage at some stage...

Our Army.......ok I'l refraze that.....our defence force is one of the only non aggresion armies within the world.....and has a great reputation within the EU and the UN as a force that gets the job done....our Sepc Op's devision IRISH RANGERS.....have also never lost a man and never lost on a mission....

What you'l find when u travel to Ireland....nice and friendly people thats what...and enough Guinness to make u puke 3 times over....

Great place to go sigth seeing and tourist there is plenty to do...

But for its populace its slowly getting to a stage were u cant trust anyone thats including all the politicians and the Police force....ie Garda Siochana

Other than thats its all good....

Oh one last thing.....the reason why GOD created Guinness.......is so the Irish wouldnt rule the world......
