I love learning things about countries and cultures.

Mountains, chocolate and cheese.
Yup....that was easy. Sweden....no, I mean Switzerland.
Guns, alcohol, and fast food
You shoveled the drive in your pajama pants, then got Tim's on the way to the hockey rink with your pals.
We shoot guns, we watch football, and we drink alcohol!
Baguette, cheese, wine, Tour Eiffel!
"Are you free this weekend?"
*Eagle screeches* *wipes tear*
"I'm always free"
We wear shoes inside
People being polite, maple syrup, poutine, and Tim Hortons coffee.
We are quite unpopular here on bp
We are making it harder for women to get proper reproductive care, we love guns, and we use any form of measurement but the metric system.
The country that has no original culture besides bad stereotypes.
My country: Has technically annexed three other countries(kind of)and is fairly new by country standards..
Bonus country: One of the smallest and richest countries in the world.

We have school shooter drills a lot and my teacher got kidnapped and murdered at the start of the school year. And someone robbed a restaurant that’s near our school so we had to stay in the closet for three hours :)
-I moved out of my home country because of political issues, so try to guess them both lmao
1. cold cold cold, government bad, why war
2. it’s smaller than any city but somehow holds more people than imagineable. (in asia)
Carnival, samba, and football.
Politicians in our country, laughingstocks in the rest of the world. Also, huge portion sizes.
Football but way more physically aggressive.
BBQs.
Pickup Trucks.
Eagles.
Beer.
Guns. Lots of them.
Massive $800 Billion defense budget.
We go to other countries saying we will "fix" their problems and by the time we leave, everything is about 10 times worse.
The most dangerous nine words in the world "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
White men shooting guns. If we want to be more specific in the place, white republicans milking cows in blue mountains. That’s about it.
fat and stupid; as kids, we're taught that we are the only free country in the world.

Locals PI55 on the Blarney Stone. Tourists KI55 it.
The Blarney Stone is in Country Cork, Ireland. Never been myself. I was in Dublin for a long weekend while I was living in the UK in 1998-ish. Been a long time. My mom went to tour Ireland about six years ago, and Cork was her favorite place, though she's not one for kissing stones and so didn't go to Blarney Castle. Ireland's a country I'd love to know better. Why don't the locals like it? Or is it because the tourists do?
I have eaten many exotic foods in my current country, including pork belly, snout & brain, duck liver, chicken feet & intestine, rabbit, rodent, yak, yak & buffalo milk, frog body, chicken noodle-carpenter ant soup, eel, shredded-candied pork floss, sea sponge, and grilled starfish. Lots of rice and noodles too. I can show you some photos

Without us, you’d be speaking German, Russian, or Chinese
I'm gonna guess US because we're arrogant like that.🤣 But I kinda feel like we could probably go with Canada, Israel or England too maybe.
Ugh, so much US bashing. I'm not saying we're good by any means, but we're not as terrible as just: GUNS BEER FREEDOM. Not many of us think like that, but the ones that do are just much louder.
Well to be fair about 70 million Americans think like that. This is larger than the population of many countries. But Americans are not uniquely ignorant in this way. Any country exposed to similar levels of propaganda have this issue. Whether it was the UK leave movement, my people under Bolsonaro, the Russians under Putin, or to it's extreme the North Koreans. The more büllshít you eat, the dumber you get.
