OT-People of the World

[Marc]

Well said! That's also why I have started that thread. I know some nationalities well but I'll be very ignorant of others. A part of my job is also to help people and I'm bored by the so-call powerful of the world. Any citizen of any country is more interesting to me that the most powerful or the smallest president on Earth. (IMO of course)

I must admit that I time ago, I had the same idea about to initiate a thread like this. This forum, besides the Twilight:2000, is a good way to know people from all around the world. For example, I"d never talked with an Australian, a Norwegian or an American before And a lot of questions emerge in my mind while reading the posts of people from countries I"ve never been. I love to ask questions and sometimes I"m too enthusiastic (GURPS disadvantage: Curiosity), but sometimes one realizes that some questions, though asked in an innocent, sincere and disinterested way, can cause rough answers. The same could be said about stereotypes and myths commonly assigned to a country by the foreigners and any personal opinions about the matter.

BTW... I love a good, cold Fosters!!!!!

Oh you poor, poor misguided fool!
Fosters is the rubbish we ship overseas because it's just not good enough for Australians to drink.

Yes but don't forget it's much but really much better than budweiser. If you have bud in Australia, they still get the best part of the deal.

By the way, how did we get from people to beers

You forgot us poor Canadians... imagine have Americans as YOUR neighbors!!

[Mohoender]

Hey they are not that bad and they are largely contributing to Canada's incom.

At least in Montreal that US students from Vermont visit weekly to drink alcohol and for commercial sex (nice St Catherine street you have there).

Well, Legbreaker, send us poor sots some of your best!

On the other hand you may not want to do that. Just think of the illegal immigrants you will have trying to crash into Aussie land to drink your GOOD beer.

I think Belgians win us all on beer quality.

On a trip I made to Brussels and the Bastogne area a couple years ago I tasted a lot of different types and brands of beer, and all were good.

I definitely agree to that. So I'll be singing the Brabanone today instead of the Marseillaise.
