Opinion of the following countries

[dead0man]

US-mostly positive.  We're not as free as we think we are though.

Canada-mostly positive.  They look better every year.

Mexico-meh.  Some good, some bad.

Cuba-I feel for the people that are forced at gun point to live there.  They need a revolution.

Venezuela-same as above (although they don't seem to be quite as "forced")

Colombia-meh.  Some good, some bad.  I hope they are hooking to the American wagon for the good of their people and not for the good of their elite.

Argentina-I wish them well.

Brazil-I look forward to them being a major player on the world stage...but people have been saying that for 150 years about them and they're just now starting to step up.

France-meh.  I like that they are proud, I like that they strive for uniqueness.  It makes the West more interesting.  Still, they think they are much more important than they really are.

Germany-Mostly positive.  I have some issues with their limited freedom of speech, but it will always be my ancestral Fatherland.

Italy-negative.  I love the history and mafia movies and TV shows...not much else.  Even their food is overrated.

Russia-negative.  They seem to enjoy being under the thumb of powerful leaders.

South Africa-Their recent past is kind of ugly.  I wish them well.

Zimbabwe-poor poor bastards.  You get the govt you deserve.

Israel-positive.  It's hard to stand when everybody around you seems to wish for your death.  Are their actions not always fair?  Probably, but what choice do they have?

Iraq-I wish them the best, but fear for the worst.

Iran-I think they could become a great nation again if they could throw off the shackles of their primary religion.

Afghanistan-Even in a perfect world the people that live there would still be living there...I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Pakistan-The future is bloody.

ndia-They need to do something about their huge underclass, this will take a long time.

China-I feel for the people that must live under the largest repressive regime the world has ever seen.  At least it's so big the people at the top can never hope to control everything.  I hope for the best, fear the worst.  Because they have an ass ton of young men and many many fewer young ladies, the immediate future probably isn't good for them or their neighbors.

Japan-They've got some issues, but they make great cars and electronics.  I hope for the best.

Australia-Like Canada, only cooler.

Hello, StatesRights.

I'm not saying "ban" it or anything, just get it out of the govt.

That is good, maybe we'll all learn something every once in awhile.

There's really only racism against black people.

They don't take to kindly to Korean or Chinese either...or at least that's what I hear.  I've never been.  They seem to like us giant crackers though.
