Title: Describe a country (in a political sense).
Post by: Mingbearer on October 20, 2007, 10:32:28 AM
Yes, in a political sense; but add whatever descriptions add to its social unease (like rural behaviours, if you can).

I will start with Germany/Deutschland....

Germany is a land of good beer, fashion faux pas, waving your arm only below the elbow (yes, this is a serious political statement), strange color choices, friendly farmers, a female president, and very strong and fast highways.

The fact that they have a female president/chancellor before America has - the autobahns are ten times better than U.S. Highways, the full arm salute/wave is sincerely banned?

Yes, those are political enough - and the rest is here because this is the so-called humor thread.

You forgot to add their world champion status of pushing people in queues. Watch an Aldi open a new queue and watch the stampede. It is like watching the rugby world cup.In other countries, they line up in an orderly fashion when in a queue. In Germany, it is every man, woman or child for themselves.

Orderly queuing not known in any country within a 1000 km radius from my location.

Political description of Germany is kind of boring as Germany is not a major player outside EU. I wonder who will start to bash USA in this tread? Chevive?

I am a bit slow on the uptake here, but I am not exactly 100% sure, of how we are meant to be answering this thread.

I am a bit lost on the OP, not because of the poster(Ming is a good quality poster) but I get the impression that this thread is a split from somewhere, so I missed the overall context of it.

In other words, I am clueless like shoeless.  :)

Jericoacoara,

I suggest you have a jibe at a country you know fairly well.

I am just looking for any 'amusing' anecdotes on their political situations (in general), but their social ambiance is a good target too.

Ireland: Awwww, blimey. Another country of fine beer, and fine cuisine. We looked to our fellow Irishmen in America (to be sure!) to support our defeat of the Imperialist and non-Catholic British by giving money to the IRA (someone's terrorist is not anothers). They are not hypocrites post-2001, are they??? Bog-trotting is fun, and so is eating potatoes, says the terribly honoest politician Gerry Adams.
