    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    Ireland is good at being neutral, drinking and sending it's immigrants to all corners of the world.

    We're good at fooling the rest of the world into thinking we actually like U2, country barns, shoeless school-children, the riverdance and traditional celtic music.

    We're good at not seeming as modern as we are.

    We're friggin fantastic at terrorism.



    Britain is good at killing Irish people, and plugging the gaps with settlers.

    In fact, they're truly gifted!

    America..

    Finest fighters in the world.. Since the days of the Minutemen. And our natives certainly help in that area too.

    Some of the finest guns in the world. Although technically we did steal the Mauser. Shame on Springfield.

    The country where petty European rivalries do not matter. Here it doesnt matter if your of French descent, Irish, Scottish, English, Italian, Russian, Scandinavian or Dutch.. were all Americans.

    Beautiful girls, and beautiful men. Certainly beat the English in that department!

    Offering the best of what Europe has to offer, as far as food goes, while Italians may say their food is better than French, or Chinese, or vice versa, none of them can say their food is better than ours though, because their food is ours. We have all food!

    Entertainment like movies, music, sports..

    Having a Constitution, that even though through our own weakness we watch our government turn into something that would make our Founding Fathers retch, we still have the citizen given right to destroy that government, and take back our country.

    We have a neighbour just as large as us, and probably just as powerful as us that we've never been hostile with at all. We enjoy nothing but peace and friendship with our neighbour. Her name is Canada, and while our little wannabe British Imperialist relic of the Victorian era, friend Eric, may think differently, our countries and people are more or less identical. I've been there you know. I quite like the place. I just hope they love freedom as much as we do.

    Now, continue to ***** about us!

    We are the only country in the developed world without a codified constitution.
    And for Americans claiming to be most beautiful. Russians and Americans both have a minority that are far too good looking and a majority that damage your eyesight

    Belgium

    We're good at brewing and drinking beer, frying and eating fries, making fun of the Dutch, being assraped in wars (luckily, we're also good at kicking out invaders and oppressors)...

    Oh and soon we'll be good in world domination, what with the European Union and all.

    - movies
    - American football
    - basketball
    - fastfood
    - theme parks
    - motorcycles
    - computer games

    In Canada we make good oil, with a much lower blood content than that of the middle east or Nigeria.
    As well, we supply the US with buckets of uranium and plutonium for their toys.
    And a lot of electronic parts for the US military's aircraft and missiles are manufactured here and shipped to the US for assembly.
    So really, what Canada does well is supply the US military for all their needs; mostly blowing **** up.

    Apart from that, there is the auto industry, agriculture...
    OOH! I know something! We are good at making noise and doing little to nothing about problems in the world. Plus we are very talented polluters, only being surpassed by the Americans and Australians.
    We also have the world's most ethnically-diverse selection of prostitutes.

    YOU BUY! YOU BUY!
