Reveal your country

I think Ariel might have already wrote about this, but here I go...

I was born in former Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia means “land of the south slavs.” All that formally is left of the country are its two republics: Serbia and Montenegro (February 2003). Those two republics are all that remain of an old federation that once included Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia. Former Yugoslavia has had a very harsh past, but today is a less violent place.

Serbia and Montenegro offers a variety of scenery, from the low mountains and highlands of Serbia to the mountainous coastal republic of Montenegro. A range of architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and baroque, dot the landscape. Ruins, fortresses, Byzantine-style basilicas, churches, amphitheaters and various other monuments all evident of the complexity of the region's history.

i like the way you think philly

It is renowned for its scenery, which attracts millions of tourists each year. On a per-capita basis, its resource endowments are the second richest in the world after Australia.

Canada is the second largest country in the world but has about the same population as the state of California, which is one-25th its size. This is because the north of Canada, with its harsh Arctic and sub-Arctic climates, is sparsely inhabited. Most Canadians live in the southern part of the country. More than three-quarters of them live in metropolitan areas, the largest of which are Toronto, Ontario; Montréal, Québec; Vancouver, British Columbia; Ottawa, Ontario; Hull, Québec; and Edmonton, Alberta. French and English are the official languages, and at one time most Canadians were of French or English descent. However, diversity increased with a wave of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that brought in people from many other European nations. This trend continues into the 21st century: Canada is one of the few countries in the world that still has significant immigration programs. Since the 1970s most immigrants have come from Asia, increasing still further the diversity of the population.

I'll respect that those are your opinions. But with me being a W supporter, does that mean I lack morals? Just because you do not agree with a man's politics it not to cool to start saying oh they are immoral and stuff like that. Last time I checked, the morality on from the opposition wasnt to great either. Last time I checked too the rest of the world is pretty fvcked up on morality issues. But it is way easier to solely blame the world's problem on one guy right now isnt it?
You know the guy who kinda owns Milan is a Bush friend named Berlusconi. Does that mean the organization of AC Milan is an immoral identity? When are you guys gonna quit this nagging? It's like the end of the world with you guys. We should let decades go by before we start to pass judgements. Cause right now no-one including myself knows what the fvck is going on. We'd like to think we do! But come on!

Yeah! Much better description of Phili you mentioned. You know next door in Delaware is almost like a different country. Heck! Up-State PA. is a different country than Phili. Cool that you mentioned the newer stuff too. I wonder if these guys know that the Rocky statue is in Philidelphia.
That's it! You heard it right here people! Where Philly-Chris is from is the same hometown as the great ROCKY BALBOA!

I think USA is no 1 terrorist country! US People are good but your goverment is very bad!(sorry for you Philly)! I know also that there are lot of Armenians in USA! They are spread all over the world after the genocite! vay es et turkeri.....

Well if that is true than it would be crazy for your Armenian brothers and sisters to want to come here. I respectfully disagree to your opinion.

it is when he is going through a list of countries who he says "harbours" terrorists and is "backing" terrorism, and then says the were a threat to the american people, just because his "intelligence" people say so. Who are these people, where do the get their info from? look at the mistake of saying there was WMD in Iraq.
im from ireland, so ive seen my fair share of terrorism and pain.
i hate george bush and all his friends but i still like america and most of its people.

but as someone said before, i respect that you have an opinion.

Again I respectfully disagree. But for me I dont hate people because of ones politics. It sucks being a govt leader cause they got to make some hard decisions not always the best decision.
Coming from Ireland you would agree that "blame" is not solely the IRA's nor the Ulster Unionist. But to solely blame one man, and yes george is only a man, for all the problems that have been around well before he became President is very shortsided and a cheap and easy way out. Both the IRA and Unionist are culpable and both have legitimate grievances. It would be very unfair and stupid to blame just the IRA or the just the UNIONIST. I'm a friend of George W Bush. My family have donated a good amount of money to his campaign. My father worked under his father. Does that mean you hate me? Do you? Because if that is the simplification of you hating george and all his friends then maybe you do hate me. Funny thing is that you have no idea who I am, what I do, what my passions and fears are. I'm a Milan Fan that you know! Talk about ignorance. Step back a little and now take a look at the picture at who's being ignorant now.

I'm hoping you dont still feel the way you do. Do you hate me?

Anyway moving away from the politics I find it great that you come from Ireland cause you got a really cool country. I also hope you like Milan along with Celtic. That being the case, it sucks that we got grouped together in the group stage of the Champions League. I would have been more than happy to have seen Celtic go throught than Barca.

"I'm hoping you dont still feel the way you do. Do you hate me?"

of course i dont hate you, just disagree with you political beliefs. Im sure your a very decent person but as you said, i dont know you so it wouldnt be right to judge you solely because you support a man whom i despise.

im sure their are a large group of men behind GB who dictate to what decisions are made so you cant really balme GB 100%.

A few years back i came up with a slogan which i try to live my life hand in hand with.
" I hate those who hate me"
You dont hate me so i dont hate you.
We are all here for a reason, AC, and the love of the club and for me its fans cos i think they are one of the most passionate fans in the world ( along with glasgow Celtics of course )


Hope we can agree to disagree on the politics, eh?
hope ur ok with it.

i know exactly what you mean.


have you been to ireland??

Stop with the American bashing.

I agree their policies do not exactly endear them to the rest of the world. But comparing the US with other countries, it still has some of the most conscience driven and thoughtful people. It certainly is one of the most tolerant and non-discriminatory countries in the world, for the diverse variety of people living there. Many of its citizens are not afraid to admit that even though they love their country, they recognise that the current leadership is ruining their image in the eyes of the rest of the world. I can't think of citizens of any other country doing that.

Take this fan-site for example. How many of you actually dislike Berlusconi and his corrupt ways? Not many. You just take the easy route saying "I do not mix sport with politics".

I know my country does not have a tolerant populace. In some areas here they'd murder you for falling in love. And if you look deep enough, all countries exploit their position of power in the world. Italy did it for centuries with the Romans and the brutal Popes after them. England did it too with imperialism. So it is hardly a surprise that America are using their power to further their own interests.

And no, I am not American.

All cool man. What's the Gaelic saying mean at the bottom of you r post? "Baile atha Cliath"?? Yes and no. Probably both because regardless of the political divide there is one Ireland. I didnt get to go down south to Dublin but I stayed at a resort outside of Derry call Roe Creek Golf and Resort. Mostly played golf, but spent a day to check out the Giant's causeway. My question though is it always "cold" like that in Eire? I say it in quotes because cold depends on the individual. You might be able to uber-cope with it but coming from Hawaii, that is pretty cold! It was summer too! I'd hate too see what winter is like. For it being so cold you guys must have some strong kind of species of grass cause it does a pretty good job of staying green over there. Our plants wouldnt have a chance!

Next time Dublin and the surrounding counties is a must.
