Iraq. Those people are hopeless. But hey, they're just fulfilling Bible prophecy.

Canada, spent enough time there to know the people are more pompous and proud than Americans.

Well, considering New Jersey is pretty near the top of my sh*t list...

Do you also hate french food also? I happen to think that is very good.
Last time I checked Paris was a favorite destination among Americans. I wonder why they go there if it stinks there.

Well, it started with the British hating the French, which makes sense historically. And they did it with class. But then the colonies decided "HAY ME 2!!!' and started hating them, even though HISTORICALLY France has done a lot for the US...and the US does it with a lot less class. I mean, "Freedom fries"? WTF? Seems like it would belong on a WW2 propaganda poster.

I do have to admit that the French SUCK as travellers. They go to another country, then get together with other French people and speak French as they eat French food in a French restaurant, all the time talking about how it's better in France, but much more expensive...when they're on a boat or train or whatever, they glance out the window with a bored disinterest, doing their best to pretend they're still in France.

Seriously though, Turkish people don't hate the Greeks. It just bullsh!t politics.

We have a house in Bodrum (near Kos islands) and we travel daily to the Greek islands, then our Greek friends come in to our town, etc. Have so many Greek friends...
Well of course TURKS don't have GREEKS...Turkey has all the stuff Greece has at a much, much lower cost. The Ataturk fetish seemed a bit over the top, though.

Of course I'm kidding. :p
I was just about to post the same thing! To the day he died, my grandfather hated every last Turk. And most Italians, even the obviously non-Italian workers at Italian restaurants.

But I love you guys!

:p

You malakas!

:p

Not always for Greeks though. :p My Grandmother (R.I.P) was a Greek refugee from Turkey when the Ottoman Empire split. ;)

EDIT: Of course that resentment died with that generation. :)

China, though I'll admit the landscapes are incredible.

EDIT: They just got the luck of the draw anyway.

Wow, lots of people bashing China.

Like some others have said, I can't say I hate any country I've visited, but I'm bothered/annoyed by some governments and the attitude of some people. Actually, too many to list.

England, because they won't get the ****** out of Ireland!

Good call.

BTW, I had a friend in highschool who actually wanted to join the IRA.

Edit: But England has Lotus and Ariel, two fantastic car companies that I can't stop reading about.

It wasn't a very good call when they blew up part of my home town, so STFU.

Are you talking about Derry or Omagh?

England didn't give the Real IRA (the splinter group) enough credence... woops.

I voted for Kerry, but I really wanted to vote for Nader. I only voted for Kerry because I wanted Bush to lose so badly.
