Re: How happy are you?
I adore my country for it's vast multicultural variety, races and internal humbleness.
I despise it for it's nowadays people, who are dishonorable and unscrupulous enough to be looked down by every country that knows what's Peru.
Could be happier.

who cares about that fatty, jessie j is where its at.Originally Posted by Foxino
First of all I love being British, we have an interesting sense of humour sometimes rather dark. I love our food! FISH AND CHIPS -fangirling- Our music! yes adele is ours <3 and the majority of our culture..
However we have a lot of jack arses which in turn does give me shame to be British. Look at the London riots last year.. That's what i mean.people who never contribute to society and take everything!
Re: How happy are you?
I love that part also.
But I love crumpets more.. <3
Partly agreeing. She isn't that fat though. just a little curvy.
Re: How happy are you?
I must say I do enjoy alot of aspects of "southern" culture in Texas, although I don't agree with all aspects of Texas politics.
Re: How happy are you?
Having had an outside look of Brazil since staying on France for almost two years now... It's hard to say for sure.
I like:
-The people, the culture. There's a sincere openness to new relationship and it's easier to become friends with people
-The fact that there's a lot of opportunities with the way the country is growing
-The fact my friends are almost all over there
I dislike:
-The feeling of fear, a lack of security when going out on the street at any time of the day.
-The lack of a significant investment on infrastructure and education for the long term.
-The culture of egoism, putting your needs before the needs of the community/country. People complain that politicians are corrupt and fill their pockets with money, but they also don't care for the whole.
-Racism, sexism and discrimination of LGBTQ (is that the right acronym @FrozNlite;?), we are several decades behind France.
And in the end I'm leaning towards staying in Brazil to work and make my life.
Re: How happy are you?
...happiness...
what's that?
That's right.
Re: How happy are you?
Yes @Shidoshi, that's correct. Though Brazil does have some form of legal cohabitation recognized between same-sex couples, meaning in at least one LGBTQ rights issue it's relatively progressive compared to the global stage, though that's not saying much. However, I can't make sweeping judgments of your country's feelings towards LGBTQ as I don't know it that well.
Re: How happy are you?
We are not bad when it comes to LGBTQ legislation. Racism, sexism, etc in Brazil is different than in the USA. Here there aren't many people expressing their prejudice openly, it's mostly behind-your-back pejudice. It's like everyone knows it's wrong to feel that way, but they still discriminate.
Re: How happy are you?
The U.S. in many areas is still like that too, unfortunately. Take Madison, for example. It's one of the most liberal cities in the country, yet infuse its young populace with dizzying quantities of alcohol and you'll start hearing some disgusting racist/sexist/homophobic comments shooting from people's mouths. That being said, I feel that's maybe just an age/inexperience thing, as it's really college students/dumbass young professionals I'm describing. Older Madison locals don't do pomegranate like that.
It's weird though since you'd think the younger generation would be chill and accepting of it all, but apparently not on average...
Though the east coast seems to be pretty with it in terms of genuine progressiveness.
