With all this news that's going on recently, I've come to a conclusion.

Canada is the best country in the world.

Canada. It's a beautiful country, yes, and that's all well and good, but plenty of the world is beautiful. That's not why it's so damn awesome. Let's look at the other main first world countries in the world today. England is England; we're in masses of debt, we've got an idiot government, and I need not go on. Don't even get me started on why America sure as hell isn't, and Russia is overran by the goddamn Mafia, and is crime ridden. Germany's still yet to separate religion and state, seeing as they've got a Christian Democratic Party in main power, which leaves the sex crazed Berlusconi and his government along with France.

Now, France, as much as the British part of me doesn't want to concede it, is second. So I'm not knocking them down.

Canada has, first, one of what I think to be the most important factors in deciding a worldwide country of great advancement in the world. They have free healthcare. I don't even need to explain why this is so damn important. Abortion is legal, gay marriage is legal, gay adoption is legal, and religion and state are well separated. There country isn't filled so much as with the idiots in SIN's Tea Party YouTube link, nor is it overridden by crime or mass teenage pregnancy like we have the "honour" in England of having.

Add to that that they're pretty liberal.

That's why, in my opinion, Canada really is top of the world.

It also has Kurt, Laurent, George, and Brent.

They're like ****ing rockstars in Canada. TruFax.

And while yes, our Health Care isn't the greatest with long lines, you get treated for free, and our doctors aren't incompetent. And if you're seriously ill, you don't need to wait. The biggest issue with Canada's health care is elective surgery wait times, which is a far cry from the legions of Americans without any health care at all.

Also, our government is pretty ****ed, but it isn't incompetent. It's simply not the party I support. And I bet you we've got our share of whackjobs, but a) we've never had the mindset of 'fear your people' and 'rebel when angry' and b) we're simply too polite to do anything so disruptive, so you don't notice them.

Whoops, I forgot.

Exactly.

Whether it's ****ed or not, I'd take yours over mine any day of the week.

I don't care if they exist, as long as they keep their idiot opinions to themselves. Like in Canada.

Unfortunately Ireland is very similair to what you listed about England, the education system, the musical and arts system and traffic system have all had their budgets cut. The country is as ****ed as everyone else since the recession, probably worse so given our idotic goverment. We've definitely got some of the most bogus political parties ever, we're horribly crime ridden and drugs circulate every school in the country and also the results for each school year are gradually getting worse and worse.

My only hope is that when the recession ends, the goverment will then get a reality check and start running things properly, so we can be half as good as the rest of the world.

Otherwise we have beautiful food, country side and tourism is pretty high right now.

Our head of state is the Queen, who is also the head of some absurd religion.

So no, we aren't perfect.

I've learned English.

Why can't they learn french?

Because our government doesn't fund the programs well. Almost every one hates French Class, because you don't learn **** all in it.

Also, really, it isn't as imperative that 'we' learn French as it is for the French to learn English, considering the country is dominated by the English (barring of course if you want to go in to politics).

It's the official language though. I'd appreciate if you guys made the effort.

I thought we were the most friendly country on earth?

Fun fact about Ireland, only about 35-40% speak Irish fluently.

Aren't there like a ton of dialects of Gaelige that are completely different from one another? At least that's what I heard bout Gaelic.

I've been to Dublin, and the only people I saw speaking it was some dude at the air port.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, he was probably drunk.

Exactly. I'm alright at it, but noone at my school was remotely interested in it, the methods teachers are using are dated and terrible, thus I believe in another few decades it'll be a dead language.

There are irish speaking schools, but its no different to any other school, you won't need the language in the long run so noone is interested in learning it.

Neato.

Nope. Both completely different and the only ones there are.

We do make the effort. The problem is French sucks.
