I thought I'd post something that will make all the gloom and doom of the world seem a bit less so. Here's how it works:
You post 1 thing about your country that is positive and the person below must comment on that statement. Then that person must post something good about his/her own country and so on.
I'll start with where I come from: England. ![]()
We have a mild climate, so while other places are either frying or freezing, we're enjoying a nice, cool/warm temperature with plenty of rain which helps with our farms.
I love the Wilderness of Canada. It's so vast, especially mountainous and forested near me, which I love that setting over almost anything.
4 – Shiny, AuraKshatriya, GalliumGrant, JDxImpetusI think we have some pretty cool sights, like our bridges, amusement parks, national monuments and landmarks. Although I've lived here forever and all that's getting boring. I need something new and INTERESTING to look at.

2 – AuraKshatriya, GalliumGrantThat sounds cool I like interesting views.
Canada: (Being that I'm in Tampa Bay right now, I'll compare it to things that don't happen here.) People actually sleep in Canada, not stay up and go to Walmart at all hours of the day. Oh and it's much quieter and SOOOOOOOOOO much easier to navigate. And we have to hide cigarettes at stores so children can't see them. And the temperature is mild there, not humidly, impossibly hot.
AND DUDE, FREE HEALTH CARE. And no tolls where we have to pay $0.75 to go on a road.
2 – AuraKshatriya, GalliumGrantLebanon: It is a mountainous country, so almost the whole time, your view is covered with a series of endless mountains that are green with either cedar or pine trees. It doesn't have that huge amounts of buildings. There are many springs, rivers and waterfalls. The weather is great (rain and snow in winter, mild breezes in summer). It is a good place to relax after staying for a year here in the metropolis, Dubai.

1 – GalliumGrantChina: 5000 years of culture (commonly quoted number). Also invented fireworks, paper and compass. Nothing good to say about China today except how I liked urban China from high population density like frequent buses.
1 – AuraKshatriyaThat adds fuel to my burning desire to visit China and/or Japan. Thanks, Spaceman. :3
The United States of America has a lot of hidden gems, in terms of tourist attractions. For example, there's Ausable Chasm, which is settled in the Adirondacks of Upstate New York.
1 – GalliumGrantSweet, I love Chasms, I've got to check that out some time.
Also Lux is making this hard by mentioning most of the usual "Canada is awesome" stuff, but I'll add that we've got the second-highest amount of land to a country in the world (just behind Russia), and a relatively minimal population (equaling only a few States at most). As a result, we don't have any overcrowding, and resources are fairly plentiful. The scenery differs from province to province, but every one I've seen (8 out of 10 of them), they're all breathtakingly scenic and incredibly diverse.

Norway has incredibly lovely food. Google "Komler" and "Fårikål" for some examples c:
1 – GalliumGrantYou've really got my mouth watering... X3
Southeastern USA is probably the best area to travel through when you're in that Southerner state of mind. The Blue Ridge Mountains are just lovely, and there are plenty of great ridges from which you can take panoramic photos, traffic permitting.
Um.. I've got two countries.. Or three, if you count Germany.. (I'm English and Canadian, and I live in England, AND Germany. Confused yet?)
England is the home of quite a few sports, such as football (Known as Soccer in America), Rugby, and cricket.
Canada has some pretty good sweets, such as maple syrup candy.. Plus there's some pretty cool things to see, like the Rockies.
Germany is full of historic places, such as Trier, home of Karl Marx, Munich, where the Munich Putsch (Or Beer Hall Putsch) happened, before WWII.. And so on.
