Stereotype other countries
May 20, 2018 at 5:57 pm
Guys, it's in the humour section for a reason!
That's right! Bring out your prejudices! It will speak more about us than the countries, but who cares
I'll start:
Africa - full of tricky scammers starving for a buck
China - one giant international 2 dollar shop
America - The wild west somewhere between Canada and Mexico.
Portugal -
an extension of Spain somewhere near Europe
Israel - Jew central
Australia - (I should know) ... The sports results IS the news!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I don't know enough about other countries to have a prejudice, especially since I live in the worst country in the world: USA.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Greece - a country literally in ruins.
New Zealand - sheep, bad weather and funny accents

Only if one is racist ... My own ignorance of other countries makes me laugh.
(my mind usually forms a picture of a foreign country based on the news and the movies (and some fading grade 4 geography)

Canada. WTF, curling!? I can see it now, some guy sitting in a bar and a conversation with some gal starts up, and the fact that he's an Olympic Gold Medalist comes out. She's all over him until she finds out he was a sweeper in the curling competition, eh?
Seriously though, I'd move there if it didn't get so damned cold there. I'm in southern California for a reason.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

USA: Gun toting, uneducated, inbred, rednecks.
New Zealand: Sheep shaggers who can't drive.

Canada: One in 10 citizens writes one.
