where do i begin!... first of all i'm not gonna sugercoat things so here it goes:

Saudi Arabia

pros:

1. no taxes what so ever!! :)
2.fuel is VERY cheap for all cars!!
3.crime rate is low thankfully.
4. we get major video game releases before most countries ;p

5.so close to Dubai :))


cons

1.no cinema theaters for fucked up reasons!
2.women can't drive for no apparent reason!
3.corruption is at a high rate and its really slowing down the evolution for the country.
4.people are very judgemental towards each other.
5.no freedom of speech for any important matter that shows the royal family in a bad frame (who ever does that faces major consequences)
6.shops close temporarily during prayer times which causes problems whenever i need something to buy during those times.
7. overly conservative culture (banned GTA5, God of War from being sold in retail)
8. the weather sucks major balls in the capital during the summer which lasts for 6 months and it goes from 42 to 50 C!!

 

sorry for writing more than 3 reasons but i had to get some things out of my chest and blow some steam.

i heard from the news that the president said that he thinks women should drive... i hope he push it....next thing you know women can drive themself to the booth where they will be voting...

Great things:

- People have plenty of free time. In fact, over 25% of the population have 100% of free time due to unemployment.

- Soon to be one of the countries with the cleanest air in Europe, because only politicians, football players and Emilio Botín will have enough money to buy a car.

- World leading country in nighttime solar energy production the last decade.

- La Macarena. I know it was only three great things, but I couldn't skip this.

 

Shit things:

I can't think of anything...

 

Country: Eastern Visigodia, AKA the country formerly known as Spain.

i never heard of that country... but i heard of macarena :)

The Netherlands:

The Good:
- Liberal; the people are (mostly) laid back, nobody judges you, and smoking weed is legal.
- You can bike literally everywhere within the country, as there are bike lanes everywhere. (I biked through the province of Limburg over the summer and even accidentally ended up in Belgium and Germany a couple of times.) Public transport is also extensive and easy to use. No need for a car, really.
- I enjoy the country side; cows; quaint, small cities; polders; windmills; tulips; etc. Some may find it boring but I think it's Tolkien. Cute and whimsical. :P

The Bad:
- If you want to do any thing at night, there's not much to do. Even in Amsterdam a lot of shops close early. The exception being clubs, of course.
- Pixar movies are pushed back and only released on Chirstmas... and extra six months!? Bah!
- Lately, the conservative anti-islam thoughts in politics.

Oh, yes, and everybody speaks English. No worries about not speaking the throat-diseased Dutch.

how man language do you speak?

Agree with the Good, except for health. In recent times its all about numbers now. Doctors have quotas to fill not care for patients. However compared to most the world it is still pretty good overall.

 

The bad

1. I think he just conforms with the general public (ie religious groups majority). His sister is gay, if he hated them so much he wouldn't go near her lol.

2. Agreed, we are pockets of multinational countries and not multi cultural.

3. Don't agree, look at Tasmania can't develop anything there as every tree is protected lol. 

 

My bad would be.

1. too many dole bludgers who don't want to work. we should have some sort of work for the dole scheme.

2. too many goverment jobs wasting money.

3. Not enough future planning, it is all about NOW governements and not the future of Australia. Once the moning boom ends thing will get interesting.

3.

good thing about australia...

hot people on the beach????

I find it amazing how the UK people seems to complain about their welfare system. Having a generous welfare system is a good thing guys...

About my country of birth:

Portugal

Good:
- Looks like paradise.
- People are in general very nice.
- The women are beatiful in general.

Bad:
- politicians
- taxes
- economy

The country i live in:

Netherlands

The good:
- a special someone.
- not in a huge financial crisis (not as bad as portugal at any rate).
- work pays really well, even at minimum wage.

The bad:
- so much lol. The forceful health ensurance that doesnt pay for your doctor appointments, basically incentivating the population not to go to the hospital and dieing at home.
- The forceful and unpaid service of separating the trash and keeping it at your home until its pick up time. Besides the fact you need to pay for the trash you throw out aswell (on top of standard city hall fees).
- The people in general arent very helpful.
- The limited variety on food supplies.
- No pizza hut!

you rather live in portugal or netherlands?

out of curiosity who has the most beautiful women and handsome guys between the two countries? :P
