why do you love or hate the country where you live

Hi, this is my first topic. But that's not important . This topic is about why you love the country where you live. I live in Holland. And i love my country because of: the nice people, the nature, we know seasons (spring,summer,autumn and the winter) and our food. I know this is not really much, but enough for me.

(btw, i don't know if this topic already exists and excuse me for my bad english sometimes. I still gotta learn some grammar and stuff XD)

Re: why you love the country where you live

If you really want to get technical, these two topics are not exactly the same. The other topic was asking "Where you (anybody who would post in there) live", whist this one is asking "Why you love (but I do hope hating your country could also be stated here as well) your country".

For now unlocking this, until the higher ups deem this not worthy for discussion.

Anyway, the one thing I do love about our country is how our National identity is not entirely our own, it's the result of centuries of colonization, oppression & influences by several other older & well-established countries from all over the world.

Our "Native" ancestors didn't even "own" this country in the beginning. Our Geological/Anthropological records tell us that the native nomadic tribes from Borneo found their way here to our country by means of land bridges from larger land masses of Asia. These early people were Nomadic in nature but as soon as they got here they decided to settle in these 7,107 islands of ours.

Then came influences from China, The Arab nations who later founded the Islamic countries here in Southeast Asia, The Europeans (Spanish, Dutch & the British, but we became the property Spain for over 300 years), the American & last were the Japanese.

So yeah in essence we have our own identity, but it's the result of the mixture of a lot of this from everywhere

But God I hate the Politics here

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

but he also asked people to tell him why/what they did or did not like...

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

And so that's why I did on my reply to his thread.

In the other thread, you were not exactly asked what you like or dislike about your country, we ourselves who posted there said what we liked/disliked after we said where we are from. This one directly asks that.

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

so this doesn't count ? :

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

Hmm... I guess my reasoning might fail here, so anyway, he (naruto) posted what you quoted after several posts to his thread, ergo what I said about the participants in his thread starting to talk about things they like/dislike about where they (again the participants) live in on impulse, where as the OP here stated that matter in the beginning of his post.

Another way of looking at it is by not outright telling where you live on your reply just like what I did, I just stated what I like/dislike about my country but I did not tell from which country I'm from.

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

oh ok i get

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

so every post in this topic is whether its approved or not? lol. I live in the US and i love it bc..... well actually its hard to love it now with all the debt and horrible government but i would have to say i like the people, the fact that we have full shelves on every store we go into, technology everywhere, and how diverse the country is bc we adapt things from so many different countries into our own culture

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

and thus already off topic.

but my 2 cents in is I never said I loved where I live I was born here, but would rather be somewhere else but I also can't have everything. :-\

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

Im from bangladesh and i luv it there cuz the nice ppl and the food over there lol

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

I love Canada because of the stereotypes, the variety of land, the multicultural culture, and because I love the winter. I also like the system that we have in place for our government, and our mixed economy.

Although I don't like Canada because of the government and Nickleback. The government sucks because he's trying to pull us away from our system of a mixed economy. That he's almost a carbon copy of Bush except a bit smarter. Nickleback sucks because it's god damn Nickleback.

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

The things here are cheap, although it imported from other countries
Some people here are friendly, but many of them are bad guy though..
And I love the food

 

Re: why you love the country where you live

Re: why you love the country where you live

I haven't watch this topic for a while because i thought it was closed(?). But anyways, feel free to leave your messages. I will appreciate it very much because this is my one and only topic on romulation :].

 

I live in the U.S.A. and...
I love it because it's freaking America. We do random stuff cause we can.
I hate it because it's freaking America. We're (for most of the population) obese or ignorant. Darn America.

 

Yea Random stuff is good =]. It's such a shame that we 'copy' the random stuff they do in America and not make our own things in holland. (my opinion).

 

England, Preston.
I love and hate it.
I would be proud to say I'm from England but at the same time, I want to move away from England as soon as I can.
