Subject: First thoughts about countries

it is not argue about land, only about sea ?

Yeah, Slovenes want passage to international waters and Croats dont want that so Slovene boats should go through Croatian sea...

Long live Tito!

Really...?

he's right... Pinochet wasn't that bad either.

because one part gets benefit from it while other one loses profit, noone wants that:p

Honestly, the level of ignorance presented by some people here is unbelievable.

I don't mean to start this as a debate about kids' education nowadays, but if a teenager can be an expert in online RPG games and at the same time the only he/she knows about Columbia is the word Cocaine or about France to say Zidane, that is extremely sad.

[...and it's NOT because the title says "First thoughts..."]

And Italy is only pasta, pizza and godfather. This topic isn't a challenge on who have a better knowledge of the world, it's a simple brain storming.

and yes, it's because the title says "First thoughts...", not tell me what do you know about those country.

Ronny, look at the comments in Italics at the bottom of my last post. I know it's about 'first thoughts' and NOT "deep thoughts", but still... how about some creativity, some knowledge...
:)

Take two countries for example; Columbia and Belgium. There is so much more to both these countries than drugs and paedophiles and if this is what comes into people's minds as first thoughts, it IS sad and also ignorant, because those people should know there are far more interesting and important things to say about these two countries.

@zambra - I have visited many of these countries and know that there is more to them than "first thoughts" but even if I haven't visited them I know more to say than just the first copycat word that comes to my mind. It seems as if "first thoughts" and "brain storming" is used as an excuse for not thinking. I don't want to turn this into a discussion or debate and simply noted how repetitive and superficial some responses are, maybe people should try to say other things?... Please feel free to continue saying whatever you want for each country even if it's only Pasta for Italy and stay happy with it. :)

Thanks to try to defend or to show the world that Colombia is not cocaine but that is what the world or the people from other places thing about my country. I cnat do anything. Still i havent seen too much drugs in colombia. I only seen marihuana and allot of drinking. But you can find drugs very easy because in my country(COLOMBIA) We dont consume it, we export it. (THere is one exception, in Bogota you can see ALLLLLOT of drug addict thanks i am not from there.

But wat some people dont know is that we have THE MOST BEUTIFULs woman. That live in Medellin just search in google for Paisas. You will get impress....


And by the way i dont care about wat the people first thoughts are. That just shows me wat the people things aboput my country.

For eample everybody things the people of USA are stupid but thats a lie.... Just some part of the population... The sad part of USA is that almost everybody received education and they cant identify their own country.

first thought about albania is always mafia xd

its not ignorant, its history. Unfortunatelly, some peoples do the wrong things in the name of country. Look how many peoples wrote 'hitler' about Germany, but the today Germany have some Hitler heritage? Of course not.

Anyway, bad things mark most than good things.

Good point, too bad it's true..

however belgium is mostly known as chocolate, waffles, EU,..
and not as: paedophiles, language conflicts,..

So i figure Belgium is getting through this very well xD
