* they believe every german is a nazi (www.dailymail.co.uk is to blame for that bullshit)

Parent
+1 for sure
Parent
Germany

•nationalsocialistic attitude lol multikulti berlin city

•best engineers me not iz

•high ego me yes iz
I guess average dutch (young) people smoke more weed in comparison with other countries
i think actually spain might be on the same level if not higher:D
Parent
Bullshit, significantly lower.
Parent
yeh ive read that actually in spain we consume way more. I've been in holland several times and u dont see ppl around the street smoking joints while in spain its pretty common.
Parent
depends if u did vmbo or not...
Parent
i didn't, don't worry
Parent
* eating cheese all day long -> no
* wearing clogs -> no
* ugly fashion -> apparently if you look at pictures of me, yes
* too much hairspray and styling gel -> no
* ugly language -> no (subjective though)
* very patriotic -> hell no

The very patrotic makes me laugh because I think we're one of the least patriotic countries EVER. It only kicks in when we're winning stuff at sports otherwise we're not so patriotic. Considering we don't win a lot in sports we aren't patriotic most of the times.
Belgian for least patriotic of the EU ;)

Dutchies are stingy though :P
Parent
Stingy? Patriotism is retarded anyway, getting a sense of pride out of a list of achievements you've not been part of.
Parent
Stingy aka "gierig" :P
Parent
I've never heard that word being used before :| what the fuck. I honestly disagree with it on my part because I spend a ridiculous amount of money on everyone but me.
Parent
I think that's the most common prejudice though.
Parent
Heh, like you havent ever celebrated when Dutch sport teams etc wins something or if youd see two groups of ppl, other of them talking Dutch other something else, we both know which one you'd choose. Everyone is patriotic/nationalistic to a certain point, no point denying it.
Parent
I don't like Dutch people much and try to avoid them on holidays. And yes I have celebrated and I am proud of the team but patriots think they're the best because they're from country A. It's ridiculous and makes no sense. Americans do it quite often.
Parent
i agree about the patriotic shit

when u flame some countries like germany, poland, portugal, spain, france etc...u will mostly get replies from mad ppl who live on those countries.

while if u flame finland, estonia, holland etc.. nobody of those will reply to u or if they do they will flame their own country just for the lulz:D
Parent
depends, with sports very indeed, but also we rather have NL than EU etc. :p
Parent
actually, the language of the Netherlands is very alike to the language of Germany, non-dutchies or non-germans can't tell the difference most of the time, so would be strange to not set that one at germany aswell. And i guess the ugliest language is finnish :p.
Ducth and germany sound ugly as fuck:/

on guys its okay anyhow but on girls it sucks.

i think german is uglier tho.


ed: i can easily tell the dif cuz i hear speaking dutch evryday:D
Parent
haha ye well german is even more monotonous then dutch, so ye i guess german is uglier.
And yea if you hear dutch all day you'll probably understand a few words and whne those words fall you'll emediately recognize if its dutch or german, but i dont think many ppl would.

I met 4 canadians on holiday @ mallorca, and when i said im from the Netherlands, one of them said: from where? the other responded with: that's germany right? and another said: no guys the netherlands is holland. so 1 out of the 4 canadians knew what 'the netherlands' were, if people dont even know the country, how could they see the difference between the languages:D
Parent
I had to explain Amsterdam wasn't a country..
Parent
i had to explain to some americans in new york that u couldnt go by car to london and that spain wasnt in mexico XD
Parent
yeah, mostly because of the swearing its easy to indentify :D
Parent
i think the ugliest language is portugese!

it just sounds like wannabe spanish and russian combined.
Parent
this is a really nice journal actually.

about spain i do like the language but it doesnt sound that nice. Catalan from catalonia on girls is hot, its close to spanish but instead we have more sounds. (and many more shit obviously, nobody in spain understands catalan unless they studied it)

But the catalan spoken in mallorca is ugly as fuuuuuuuuuck on guys its ok cuz its like a really "rude" (sounds manly) form of catalan (dialect) but on girls it doesnt fit..

i can speak both dialects so when i speak mallorcas catalan dialect in catalonia itself its nice cuz girls like it.


also something else about spain: They are the first ones to critize their stuff but when someone else from another country critizes the very same thing they go all mad (which is ironically stupid) its like they are ashamed of the country but at the same time they think that its the best place to live. (tbh if it wasnt such nice weather it'd be worser than poland)

Another one: nobody speaks english


one of portugal: They have hairy women with mustache

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6vu6UoVvmBY/Scdnk6ISVJI/AAAAAAAAADs/949NmAdlWV8/s400/senhora_de_bigode.jpg

and girls here arent that nice, its just that here any girl with a decent body carries really light colthes on summer and they all look really hot. (krosan seen that)
+ siesta, + cheerful people, + man's are small and have a mustache ?
Parent
well cheerful ppl kinda depends, when tourists come here is while holidays so actually the cheerfull ppl are the drunk tourists:D and a good weather and a good atmosphere helps alot (but the atmosphere is made by the tourists)

we are warm but false at the same time. people here has a lot of prejudices against other countries and since nobdy speaks english here they dont mix with the tourists (except me XD i actually feel more comfortable with ppl from other places than locals)

+1 at mans are small (im like 180 cm myself which is tall here but kinda short in the NL for example) and mans with mustache... ehm not really maybe old ppl. and siesta is right too but we dont do it in catalonia, atleast i never did it and i dont know ppl who does it either.
Parent
and about portugal : You see that kind of women in the mountains, and villages. And it's always old widows that spend their day sitting on a chair in front of their houses :p
Parent
Poland - yes just yes! everything u wrote is correct!

France - see what i wrote about Poland

Nordic Countries - (i can only talk about sweden, own experience, 3,5 yrs of stockholm :D)
1. yes just yes
2. somtetimes, in summer its like 1-2 °C colder (approx)-->winter ye cold!
but in summer its not "schwül" (muggy?), because it is in germany!
3. ye kinda, didnt go to swedish school
4. no, but there are more sports they pay attention to
5. yes just yes
all true, we all fuck kids while driving stolen cars from western europe after 1l of vodka. Obviously we smuggle whore everywhere so while beeing there we can steal more cars. Thats what we do all day long if we're not cheating on bio at the time.
danm you polaks are badass
Parent
i like ur cheap petrol at least once a week im goin there ;)
Parent
but why are we a pedophiles?:D never heard of this one
Parent
i didnt either
Parent
for france:

Gay language: No, hard to learn but not gay !
Gay people: No, omg !!!! We just admit them more than other countries imo
Eating baguettes: Yes, i guess that 90% eat baguette daily
Bad in everything: explain me? ok, we are not rly good to talk in other language than our.
But our education is ok, better than spanish, portugal, italy,etc.
We are quite good in sports.

Ps: great thread!
if u have more gays in france than every other country does ur a gay country :D
Parent
i didnt said that there is more gay in france, but maybe we let them live their life.. For me belgium is this country.(legal marriage)
Parent
well i guess many will agree, that the sound of french is very gay o.O
Parent
yeh nice i agree mostly, since im from england i would change a few shits:
* Most people dont like the royalty
* There is the most clear divide between lower class <> middle class than any 1st world country I've seen. Lower class look like ugly apes, like football and east enders, violence, lazy and stupid, terrible diet and give us a bad rep.
* Take more recreational drugs than any country in europe
* Bad public sector because it employs all the niggas and other tards who cant work in private and unions stop them from ever getting fired
* Football: No one I know/ever met thinks national side england is good at football, leagues dont count because they are from so many countries
Germany

* eating Sauerkraut and veal sausages
i fucking love sauerkraut 8D but i know alot of people who hate it.

* wearing lether pants
nope

* nationalsocialistic attitude
nope
* best engineers
i guess so

* high ego
some have, some not.
we don't hate football????
eating cheese all day long ----> around here dutch ppl are known as cheeseheads think that says enough

wearing clogs ---- > only farmers

ugly fashion ----> guess so, but everyone is a stereotype, like emo's, goths, hiphoppers w/e

too much hairspray and styling gel -----> true 95% has gel in even if they have
their hair like casual down

ugly language -----> very, dutch is the whole way around if you wanna translate something to english
E: ik ga de tv aanzetten litteral translation > im gonna the tv turn-on'ing (very bad as you can see)

very patriotic ---> ye i think almost half of dutch ppl is
so if theres to much hairspray or gel, wth to use then? :D
Nordic Countries (Sweden,Finland,Denmark, Norway)
The list fits for me atleast (yes, i even hate football)
:{
i forgot "etc"

gay people : wat
eating baguette every day : true, and you should do the same
bad in everything : completely wrong : French workers have the highest productivity/hour rate (luckily, we don't work much :P)

- We demonstate all the time.
