How many people have actually answered with their nationality?

Hint: Check your passport, right under your name.

Most people are retarded.

Chalk me up for another of the obvious answer.... American.

I love the people who claim their nationality is 50% Irish / 25% Dutch / 12.5% French / 12.5% Italian. That's got to be one effed up passport. Again, people are retards.

Some people are answering with their ethnic heritage, others their nationality. Since the overwhelming majority here are Americans, it's understandable that the topic would shift toward a discussion of ethnic background, even though the topic is technically about nationality.

Even a retard should be able to realize that.

Does anyone have a "good" political system?

(Er, wait.... Is 'polical' is a typo for political, or for policial?)

An individual American's culture is more defined by locality and ethnicity than nationality, so i will answer for all 3.

Amercian:
Good: Strong states' rights allow for different government systems and laws to exist in one country.
Bad: Strong states' rights allow for different government systems and lays to exist in one country.

New Yorker:
Good: Wide variety of cultures, liberal laws (except gambing and drug laws), Better food quality and variety than almost anywhere else in the country.
Bad: Wide variety of cultures, arcane drug and gambling laws, bad air quality, poor governemnt run sanitation and road mantaniance compared to rest of US and the world.

Of Italian Decent:
Good: Best food, best lovers, "mobster" image, close family units.
Bad: the best ingredients in our cusine, olive oil and wine, are trumped by spain and france, respectivily.

No way. Italian cuisine bows to no other.

Of course (when I'm not pacing restlessly)!

I sometimes get bouts of insomnia, though, and amuse myself with the game that cannot be spoken and posting OOTiocy, and then I'm sure I come across as the Eye that Never Sleeps. But I'm sleeping fine at the mo.

FYI, I just got up, going for a run. And yep, 6am here.

I like San Antonio, but I always wonder how a city with such extreme heat and humidity can also sport such a large number of gross fatties. They must simmer in their own gravy 9 months a year.

To cliarify, I meant the best ingredients in our cusines. I edited the post. Spanish olive oil is far better than italian oil, and french wine is better than itialian

Air conditioned Expeditions, m'man. Add that to a gallon-sized thermos fulla soda, kept that way 'round the clock, and you've got yourself some serious poundage.
