Describe Your Country

I think Turkey is ground zero for all Turks around the world.
Most of my family are Turks from outside of Turkey's current borders. We spoke a different "dialect" of Turkish, had different customs, cuisines and etc...
However, we were able to find a refuge here, and really feel like we're a part of it.
Not that we would have had it better in the place we had originated, the Turkish government had treated us very generously.

@ Chuck, true, some of what you say, but i know of only 1 person who believes in intelligent design, and im from the hick areas of UK.

One thing we can be cocky about is the ability to speak English, unlike the population of New York, who seem intent to say 'like' every other word and have trouble sustaining a conversation. I was very suprised and disappointed how the language has been ruined by New Yorkers. (i'm not saying all the US is like that btw) We are also a protestant country, the rest of europe(Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Ireland) is almost entirely Roman Catholic, hense why we have more 'evangelical hucksters.' And Roman Catholic doctrine now goes along with Evolution and big bang theory. (god damn bandwaggon jumpers)

We're girt by sea.

Don't feel sorry for us, it's something to rejoice about I think.

we've boundless plains to share"

"fuck off, we're full"

Louisiana, a largly Christian state with over 90% of the state. I live in Southeast Louisiana, where everyone with their grandma and her pet duck are Catholic. But besides that, most people down here are generally nice. I live in a small tradition based town with lots of history and nice people.

What I like about here is that people judge more on WHAT YOU DO, not what you think or believe. Most of my Catholic friends I talk to don't care if I'm atheist or not. Most of them tell me I'm a good person and they respect me just as much! (you would never believe, but these are good friends I've known my whole life who don't judge as much )

That's what I like about down here. We are largely a conservative state, but we don't worry about other people and their beliefs so much, we worry about ourselves as a whole.

There are the occasional loonies, but no one gives a shit about them

A certain William Shakespeare put down a description of my country that is worth a read, even if you don't share the sentiment of it. What genius though.
