I just had a good idea for a forum game, basically you state where you live, whether it's a town, a province (or state) or a country then say why it's better then the person above you, sorta like the game you are banned but differnt.... anyways here's an example
I'm from Canada, it's better because our flag is a freaking plant so we are always allied with the elves.
Reply could be:
I'm from California, It's better cause in winter you can actually see past your nose, since there's no snow!
*kinda like that but feel free to say whatever you want!
to start:
I'm from Nova Scotia, It's better because our provinces name actually means something, and I bet you don't know what it is.
-
Nova Scotia? New Scotland?
And way (old) Jersey is better because the English queen isn't our queen, she's our duke.
-
Ohio is better because the weather likes to surprise you.
-
Montana is better because the weather likes to backstab you.
-
Dartmouth is better because everything wants to back stab you. (highest crime-rate per capital in the country yay!)
-
Texas is better becuase here we can kill anyone that trespasses on our land without warning :)

-
Italy is better because of the food!
-
Oh god wait 'till Jakkary is here.
Connecticut is awesome because JUDGE JUDY LIVES HERE.
-
Florida is better because hurricane seasons here are fun.
Skateboard + Blanket (Or giant beach towel) + Heavy Winds = Street Sailing Fun.
And let's not forget outrunning storm surges, especially if you have a beach wall nearby. Oh the fun games to play with that going on.
-
Poland
Because there is no econimical crisis there
-
I am a Berliner
the capital of europe
go ahead and claim something else, people in berlin won't care, because we have the nerve and the guts to claim the title, no matter what kind of arrogant london and paris comes around the corner trying to argue about it.
-
California is better because we neither have nor need weather; our weather is always perfect.
-
Ohio is better because meth is harder than marijuana.
-
Montana is better because of it's size.
-
Meh. Melbourne is better because our tap water is more or less the purest in the world.
-
Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Because nobody is from there. Except Andrew Bravener.
-
Belgium is better. Because it has beer. Lots of beer.
-
Michigan is better because...
...
I'll get back to you on that.
-
Germany is better because we have a bunch of clowns disguised as right-wing fanatics.
-
Australia is better because we have lots of cute animals that can do serious harm to you if they want to!
-
Holland is better because it's pretty much on the other side of the world.
-
Belgium is better because we have slightly more space that isn't polluted/in the process of being polluted.
-
Eastern Washington is better because we're the greenest power-producing area (counting hydroelectric) in America!
-
Canada is better because everyone loves us.
-
♪♫ AMERICA!! ♫♪
♪♫ F*** YEAH!! ♫♪
...Someone had to do it sooner or later.
-
Illinois is the best because of Abraham motherfucking Lincoln.
-
Australia is better because we have armies of DROP BEARS. MESS WITH US, DROP BEARS KILL YOU. SEVERAL TIMES OVER. We also have a regular army, so yeah.
(Some stupid Americans have called koalas 'drop bears', so I call them that when messing around.)
-
New Zealand is superior because we have Rhys Darby!
Also because your Aussie music scene was so lame you had to nick Crowded House and Evermore off us.
Basterds!
-
Australia is better, why? Well there are many reasons, for one. The sheer quantity of beautiful landscapes and geographical features.
Too bad about the tourists shittin' on Ayres Rock : (
( I had to google Rhys Darby.)
Also because your Aussie music scene was so lame you had to nick Crowded House and Evermore off us.
I had to google Evermore. I still don't remember them. Crowded House is fairly old, fairly 'meh.'
-
Australia has the Platypus, do you have the Platypus? I think not.
-
Australia has the Platypus, do you have the Platypus? I think not.
It's deadly too.
(At least the males.)
:|
-
Yes, as I said, Oz is better 'cos we have lots of cute animals that can kill you.
-
New Zealand is better because you can't be sued.
-
New Zealand is better because you can't be sued.
You kinda can be sued.
-
New Zealand is better because you can't be sued.
You kinda can be sued.
And you kinda can't be sued.
-
Us Oceanians aren't anything like as sue happy as the Americans anyway.
-
New Zealand is better because you can't be sued.
You kinda can be sued.
And you kinda can't be sued.
Sorry, but that's a pretty retarded law and it isn't a cause for NZ to be better.
-
I don't know, judging by some of the shenanegins American lawyers get up to i'd say no sue is better than sue.
-

Sure, but that's the minority of law suits - the retarded ones. But without having the ability to sue you can't, oh I dunno, say you had a really shitty employer, said employer did not pay you for a... months work. Since you cannot sue, you cannot recoup the deserved payment in court. A vandal comes and destroys something you own, you cannot gain the damages to replace the item. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages of being able to sue.
-
I'm not familiar enough with NZ laws to comment, but i believe that you can take lawsuits to court if you can prove an infraction, you just can't for example, sue your employer for not paying you 10,000 dollars and get 1 million dollars in 'damages' and soforth; if you want to bring a lawsuit against somone they actually have to have, you know, broken the law.
-
Australia is better because we discuss law rather than play your puny forum game!!! :P
-
The Netherlands are better because of... pot?
-
Screw pot, i have my imported Kava.
-
We get it guys, Australia is simultaneously the best and worst country in the world.
And people say Americans are full of themselves...
-
The Netherlands is better because while the rest of the world used the land already there we called bullshit and made more. And we have been doing that since the middle ages and earlier.
-
America is better because we won a majority of the wars we get into.
-
-
-
Canada is better because we are associated with both Britain and America!! HA!
-
America is better because we won a majority of the wars we get into.
True, but your recent track record is less than exemplary.
Also, in keeping with the thread; Australia is better because we not only stormed the wrong part of Turkey, we managed to take it, hold the line for bloody ages and then pull off a perfect retreat. And then later in the Kokoda Trail we performed such an incredible defense the Japanese overestimated our numbers by a factor of about 100.
-
New Zealand is better because nobody can be fucked to attack us.
We don't even need a bloody army.
-
How is being so useless that nobody can be bothered to attack you a good thing? I mean Australia has all the strategic importance of a watermelon, but at least we have that much.
-
Watermelons are pretty important.
-
Not strategically.
-
Tell that to Africa.
>_> YAY RACISM
Okay, that was a bit too farrrr D:
-
then pull off a perfect retreat.
I have to say, in all fairness, this only happened because the Turks stopped firing. Otherwise we would have been slaughtered. They were looking to repel and invasion - not to inflict deaths upon the allies. Albeit they had to do the latter to complete the former.

You should read up on your history a bit more; the Turks didn't even know we were retreating until our forces had already pulled out. It's one of the very few times in recorded military history where a retreat has actually gone right.
-
Belgium is better because we have a short and easy history without discussions about retreating.
-
While we're on the subject of the Gallipoli landings, the only thing I remember from some documentary I saw ages ago was a bloke saying about how after some really fierce battle or something, with lots of dead in the no-man's-land, an Aussie yelled out "Play you again next Saturday!".
-
...How can you be active on the same time of day as me, despite being on the other side of the world?

Yeah, Gallipoli was oddly polite. There's plenty of urban legends of the Aussies and Turks calling a ceasefire to play cricket for an hour, which are probably false, but one thing that is true (if my history teacher is right) is that every now and then both sides would call a ceasefire and get up out of the trenches to collect the dead, supposedly the Aussies would sometimes play cricket during these ceasefires, it's unknown if any Turks joined in or not.
-

Huh? You talking to me? It's ~1/4 to 5 here.
-
IMO, I reckon the Turkish were quite polite in Gallipoli, certainly not as bad as they are made out to be back then, and sometimes now days. It's a little disappointing when the major Gallopili film only shows one viewpoint towards the campaign (and WWI in general), that being of the British Australian. Yet Gallipoli was not much more than a training ground for the Australian troops, compared to the Western Front.
(if my history teacher is right)
He's right, there are many recounts from soldiers on both sides describing them gathering the trench. I cannot comprehend what they went through in WWI. Also, them playing cricket wouldn't be too far fetched, they played football one Christmas eve on the Western Front.

Even better, the Turks and ANZACs (Kiwis fought there too y'know) actually traded supplies during the ceasefires.

I love how we keep derailing this thread to talk about Australia.
-
Australia is like a black hole of awesomeness that redirects all nearby trajectories into it's infinite grasp.
-
I'd like to talk about Australian History somemore, but don't want to derail the read any more than it has.
(New Rule for this thread: Australia's already better, don't mention it?)

Maybe someone should go make a thread about it.
(New Rule for this thread: Australia's already better, don't mention it?)
Seconded!
-
Okayy... My country is better because the coffee is so thick it goes solid if it cools, the tea is so sweet it can be used as a glue substitute, and the wildlife is not homicidal. We're also in the axis of evil. Beat that.
-
China has Pandas. Do you have Pandas?
-
No, but we do have tulips. Which we got from Turkey. Which leads us to Gallipoli and Australia again.

Our windmills are more Oldschool...
-
Our windmills are more Newschool.
-
We have no windmills.
-
But what are the knights supposed to charge at?
-
Peasants. Obviously.
-
We don't have peasants. We have agriculturists. Or people-with-no-permanent-residence. Depending on which kinds of peasants you mean.
I don't think we have pheasants.
-
Florida is better, because we have NASA. And almost anywhere within 50-100 miles of it can still see the shuttle take off. Closer than that is the definition of awesome, especially at night when there's a second sunrise caused by the takeoff.
And an added note of awesomeness, one return flight of the shuttle (Atlantis I believe), anyone along the coast of Florida witnessed a modified 747 carrying the shuttle on top of it. I had a front-row seat as it buzzed right next to my house; pretty close to the water might I add. ;D
Thing sounds like a cannon going off; freaking loud. Nearly broke some windows.

Can any other place top that? ;D ;D ;D
EDIT: Okay, America rocks for this reason (Seeing as the ferrying was from CA to FL); but Florida is where it all happens.
-
Montana is better because we don't have shuttles causing property damage.
Or (crocodiles?) alligators in our yards
Or lots of people
Or lots of insects
Or etc.
-
You don't have etc? My god!
-
Australia does have some awesomeness though, since you can sue NASA for littering if you find some leftover rocket on your land...
