Jealous Neighbors

[Dari]

I've been to many countries in the past decade. From these trips I've gotten to see countries that don't really like each other and the reasons why. As an American I'm not familiar with national shame but a lot of these countries are small so I guess it's ok. Anyway, a lot of the animosity comes from ancient rivalries and what not. Sometimes it can be so extreme that the envied wants to move away from the envious. So, if you find yourself in one of these countries, this list is a good place to start if you want to gain the trust of the locals. The country on the right is insecure of the left. Here goes:

America has the world

Spain has Portugal

France has Spain

England has France

Belgium has Belgium (this is not a typo)

Germany has Europe

Turkey has Greece

Russia has Poland

Japan has South Korea

South Korea has North Korea

Japan has China

China has India

India has Pakistan

Pakistan has Afghanistan

Israel has the Middle East

Ethiopia has Eritrea

Ethiopia has Somalia

Rwanda has Congo

Brazil has Argentina

Chile has Bolivia

Chile has Argentina

Chile has Peru

Peru has Ecuador

Colombia has Venezuela

Honduras has El Salvador

Dominican Republic has Haiti

America has the world

As an American I find that laughable.

This is why Canada is best.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Good grief.

 

[DrunkenSano]

Israel has Middle East

I forgot, most Americans are ignorant of world history. Consider this a history should you ever decide to get a passport and want to visit certain countries...

Yes, this is very true. I'll edit.

 

[Vdubchaos]

If you replace HAS with HATES you might be remotely close.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

what awkward wording...

India is not "jelous" of China, China does not have anything that we want, or there is nothing about China that we would like to be like... There is rivalry, China attacked Indian once we claimed some of the independent regions that China had huge influence over. Now they fight proxy/terrorist wars in the north east region. Also they are mad about our support for Dalai Lama and Tibetans.

So yeah, we don't like them, they don't like us, but jelous? not at all, you failed pretty miserably by pandering your ignorance and sticking our nose where it did not belong.

Brazil has Argentina

Chile has Argentina

These are the only ones that surprised me. I thought Buenos Aires was supposed to be one of the best cities in South America.

As an American I find that laughable.

Really? We're the only nation that projects military power around the globe. I think it's hard to argue that other nations feel marginalized by us.

China does not have anything that we want

That's true. India wants nothing to do with better treatment of women.

Perhaps their governments and/or militaries, but not the people.

There are reasons to hate on America and jealousy isn't the cause for it.

 

[Cuda1447]

huh?

 

[MaxPayne63]

I hate people from the vicinity of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I've been to Spain and Portugal and found them to be kind of indifferent to each other. I don't think the Portuguese are at all jealous of the Spanish.

And they are completely different cultures too I might add.

 

[raildogg]

That's true. India wants nothing to do with better treatment of women.

The Western culture has exploited women's sexuality for profit and power more than anyone else and is continuously doing it. As for better treatment of women in India, the spread of Western culture there has not helped matters much either.

Why do we care so much about countries? How does that help us in any way?

I'm guilty of it too but I find it curious. How does my country having more money than your country make me better? Etc etc.

 

[DesiPower]

Correct Troll, if we want to learn better treatment of women, you have MANY other place to learn from before we look at a communist regime that shoots at its own young generation and drives tanks over them to stay in power.

I've wondered that too.
