    The brits use to be great with stiff upper lipness, but now with the new generation of narcissistic socialized me generation, it seems that stiff upper lipness is going away. And it's a damn shame.
    Sure I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is Im not. I honestly feel that America is the best country and all other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

    Belgium also is a contender for the best beer, chocolate, XTC, weed, small firearms and isn't bad in medical science (most professional bicycle teams had a belgian doctor/vetinarian on their payroll)

    Why being alcoholics of course. Estonia is in the vodka belt. We are competing with the Finns and Russians. Hopefully one day we will pass them both.

    We also seem to be good at being hippies. Singing songs and forming human chains

    I'm sorry to disappoint you and make of this what you will, but I've tried Russian and Finnish vodka on numerous occasions but have yet to try Estonian vodka.

    Well the vodka sales are kinda huge there, every Finn just travels across the Baltic to buy (cheapish) vodka from there. I bet that the Estonians also drink quite a bit themselves, even though there aint many estonian vodka brands for sure.
