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

Jaysus this is a recipe for racism.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

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.
