The North and South Walians (Wales) have a long standing rivalry because the North considers the South (where I live) to be too 'corrupted' by English influences. Even the Welsh language is spoken differently between North and South and the North refers to our Welsh as 'Wenglish', whereas the South refer to the North as 'Gogs'. Don't get me wrong though - we still like ea bother better than we like the English.
There are a lot of fun facts about the country I live in that not a ton of people know about. Alaska is the biggest state (NOT TEXAS!). We have over 400 national parks (Alaska, which has the most parks, has 23 places that are a part of the National Park System). The US spans across 11 time zones if you include the territories in it. The US mint has a program that designs coins; some of the best-known ones are on quarters, like the state quarter program, or the national park one, but they also do this on $1 coins, and I think that they are going to be decoration the $1 coins with important US woman throughout history. Also, the US isn't all horrible, urbanized hell, and depending on where you are, it can be pretty nice.
There is no real freedom here
In Australia theres a type of plant called a 'Zamia palm'. Its fruit looks very delicious but is very toxic. In my opinion though, the most interesting thing about it is the fact that it looks like what would happen if a pineapple and raspberry had a child.
Australia has a strange reverence for criminals, particularly killers. Ned Kelly was a thief and murderer, and yet he is considered to be a great Australian. In recent times, a TV series called Underbelly has glorified and normalised the most abhorrent of crimes in modern times.
First off, I live in the US. And I'd say that the best thing is the small towns. The small towns are like little pieces of peace.
All of us are at least slightly crazy, but some initiate an insurrection because they lost an election, fair and square.
Not all of us are idiots. We just have the loudest ones. (United states)
It’s America. There’s like a million secrets we don’t know, this country sucks.
Please, feel free to move. Maybe to Afghanistan or somewhere around that area, just don't come back saying you changed your mind. Every country has it's flaws, but the U.S is better off than a lot of other places.
I know I’m probably going to get downvoted but
The U.S isn’t as bad most of the stuff said are movie stereotypes
Israeli inventions.
Waze is Israeli. Mini tomatoes are Israeli. Those pipes with holes that water your plants if you have a farm, in Hebrew we call them "taftafot", israeli.
Also, israeli snacks are super underrated. We have some really god-like tasting snacks.
You guys should do some research on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It's not just black and white. The conflict dates back to WW1 and actually is a lot more complex then it seems.
