new thread! something i don't like about Romania is the fact that compared to other countries there are some really expensive shit, at least relative to the normal salary(mostly the utility prices) and of course the EXPENSIVE stuff(musical instruments , PC software and IT stuff like I-pods, playstations etc.), of course music albums goes without saying, they're ridiculously expensive, and then there's really cheap stuff(mostly food, which compensates with low quality).. you can't be sure of anything here!

haterz hate on!

The constant fucking-around approach of our political system. A few examples

1.There's this area called Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde here in Belgium. My country is divided into 2 fronts the Flanders and Wallonia. People in Wallonia speak French, people in the Flanders speak Dutch. This BHV thing is located in both of these fronts and in BHV there is a lot of bullshit going on about funerals, voting, town counceling, ... in French or Dutch. Politicians have failed to solve this problem for years and it's procrastinated all the time...

2. A couple of years ago the politicians have failed to form a governement for more than 300 days because the Walloons always opposed the Flemish politicians...


Another thing I also hate from this country is how people react when it comes to Soccer, yes, I know this happens not only here, but still, I don't like it, they put it as a priority, even sometimes above important things, like if it was a truly national event, and not to talk about local teams, and worse of all, people call you a fag and a pussy for not liking it. I don't have a problem with people who like it, but hell, this doesn't happen with any other thing.


Oh yes, definitely agree. I don't understand why people get so emotional about it. But when you look at it, it kind of is. I have barely any idea about World Cup, never seen it. All I know is Spain won 0 to 1 this year against Holland. XD

However, we don't have that problem here, as Bulgaria... well, our team is pretty weak from what I know.

Australia is isolated from the rest of the world and while this can be viewed in a positive light, it gives companies an excuse to hike the prices up on pretty much anything as anything and almost everything has to come across the ocean to get here. Example: It's generally cheaper (in the majority of cases I've encountered) to import something like mid to high-end musical gear and equipment from the USA or the UK and pay all postage fees any everything else that comes with it, than it would be to go in-store and buy it here. That is, if the store has what you're actually looking to buy as the selection is often rather limited.

The metal scene here in Melbourne is either extremely small or is hiding from me. There's no shortage of people willing to play music but unless you're interested in playing screamo with 15 year olds, then you'll have to invest more time looking.

I'm not that into politics and current affairs so I can't really comment on the pros or cons of this country in that aspect.

Oh and at the moment, work is extremely difficult to find. I doubt that this is something that's just unique to Australia, though.

Since moving to the States, I really hate the liquor laws. In Israel, you could have your bar open to whenever the hell you wanted, you could get a bottle of wine and sit out in the park and it wasn't a big deal. And drinking at 21? Seriously? I think if teenagers got their drinking escapades out when they were younger, it would be a lot healthier for them mentally and emotionally than say, 21 when you're probably well into several semesters of college.

But other than that, I really love this country \m/

Does people from Flanders are extreme religious and also speak in doodily language? [/badjoke]

Well, we have a couple of religious fuckheads who are mostly pedophiles but a lot of people are atheistic or non practising and what do you mean with "doodily language"?

I hate that my city (Cairo) has 15,200,000 people .. and its is only as little as 214km2 .. giving it the Ranking #1 in the 'population density' in the world with density index of 71,028 person per km2

Delhi (India) in second place with 31,972 person per km2
Seoul (Korea) in eighth place with 17,296 person per km2
Buenos Aires (Argentina) ... 9th place ... 15,028
New York City (USA) ... 13th ... 10,636
Moscow (Russia) ... 14th ... 9,722
London (UK) ...32nd ... 4,823
Berlin (Germany) ...39th ... 3,860
Los Angeles (USA) ...43rd... 2,970 (almost 3,000 people sharing a whole kilometer square vs. 71,028 people in Cairo... GODDAMN !!!)

most of your european capitals aren't even on the list ... so, immigration destination, EUROPE !!

Definitely, the thing I hate most in my country, is the ridiculously slack justice system that allows kids to run riot and rule the streets, and the yob culture to thrive. Also in general, I think the law is pathetic. Even a lot of adults get away with highly inadequate sentences for horrific crimes. Every successive government says they'll clamp down on crime, and do something about yob culture, but its always just empty words.

I miss Beijing... not that Tallinn is more populated, no... Beijing was just a metropolis but at the same time it was so vast that the millions of people just disappeared into it... That's the funny thing... Beijing's a large small town...

Now speaking of Shanghai, it has a small area but it is the most populated city in China which makes it instantly more crowded...

Shangahai IS more populated that Cairo, however, that 'Small area' is about three times as large as Cairo's area ... so, still cairo is about 3 or four times more 'dense' and crowded... the picture included in the previous post is a VERY generous one of a non-busy street (notice the amount of people trying to get on the bus at the upper right of the photo, and they're standing IN the street occupyng almost a lane and a half forcing the bus to cross lanes)

But why are there so many people? Why raise children if you have to bring them up in poor living conditions? I really can't understand why there are couples who live in absolute poverty, where the woman delivers 10 or sometimes even up to 20 kids and the husband sometimes being an abusive bastard... and they all live in one tiny room...
Or when some very religious parents arrive at church with their "gypsy team" of at least 5 kids of whom at least one (usually more) are screaming and kicking and running all the time disturbing everyone... and the parents are "SEE! We are tro0 religious! We've never used condoms!"
Well... yes, it's nice to have kids and yes Father has said "May you have lots of kids" but not that lots... not so lots that overpopulation makes kids suffer... 'twas different earlier when lots of kids was necessary for a family to survive and when the population was scarce anyway...

Our government is pretty harsh in terms of prison sentences and population, but that's only if you don't have money. Not sure which is worse...

two reasons:

1) as you said, misinterpretation of religion, the poor uneducated people aren't enlightened enough to correctly interpret religion, and most of'em think that "interfering with god's will" and use of contraceptives is a sin.

2) second reason applies to extremely poor families, they just have lots of kids to use'em for child labour, especially in third world countries where there are no restrictions on child labour and it is not considered a crime .. so, they basically 'sell their kids' to factories and farmers to become child slaves .. or.. they wander the streets and beg for money from pedestrians and vehicle drivers, wo not only are they poor.. they lose their dignity too begging for money and food.. its a really fucked up mentality .. and the government isn't doing anything to fix it..

Our gouvernment, i would say. This is becoming a bit of a police state, this country. And things that the gouvernment can't handle are to be banned. Thats what our gouvernment is good at, banning things and stealing your privacy. And taking your money by making changes to the economy wich have a negative effect to 80% of the population.

And this country is beeing overrun by people from other countries! Middle eastern countries. I have no right wing or racial problems with that what so ever, but its gone a bit to far when Dutch becomes somewhat of a secondairy language in some neighborhoods. I don't like the way thats going.

Yeah, just like Bulgaria was the most dominant country in Europe when under Tsar Simeon the Great's reign.

I'm not aware of Estonian history, but generally historical facts like these tend to be exaggerated or modified in some sort of way to appear more "dignified".

Can't be sure though.

Actually I ain't aware of Estonian history either... we didn't have any written history until the Germans came and brought written language here...

As much information there is, it goes like this... this area here was divided into small communities which all robbed each other constantly. The society was a primitive hunter/gatherer one. Since the Scandinavians, Germans and Slavonic peoples were trading and our area was near their trade routes, they soon felt the need to "civilize" these dangerous areas since our savage people were constantly attacking them to steal their goods. Then the Germans and Danes came and "civilized" us... and thus began our history...

Lately, of course, we've been speaking about having a glorious "viking" civilization before the Scandinavians and Germans came...
