Biggest Source of Paranoia in your Country?

[BeBMan]

It's such a great expression of diversity that every country can have its own form of hysteria. Please post the most important in your country

edit: Hahaha "Cilivization"

Russia

Russia

Russia

No more explanations needed i think.

Russia is still quite favoured boogiemen so they should have had their own poll option.

Whats yours, beside Iiihvil Finns?

[BeBMan]

Ahh I see :HappyPutin:

But if their demographic development can't be reversed you'll soon outnumber them anyway

[Julian Delphiki]

I think they will have bought most of Finland before that.

It's actually quite amusing, Russians buying summer cottages (and sometimes paying +100% compared to Finns) from Finland because of

- privacy
- clean nature
- safety

Especially considering all the space they have. I mean, they have lots & lots of space. And they need to buy Finland just for privacy..

In Germany there are several competitors: Americans esp. when led by Bush (let's see if it changes with a new pres). Then overall also China (or often also India in relation to globalization, since they steal our jobs). And Muslims, esp when they want to have their own mosques, which is outrageous to certain people in the neighbourhood

Maybe I'm missing some

[Julian Delphiki]

No Turkey?

Americans.

Just the other day I had to chastise my neighbour for the fumes coming out of his backyard. He was burning american beef in some bizarre ritual to appease their gods. He knows very well that the police here no longer permit open burning, as it adds unnecessary CO2 to the atmosphere, and my friend couldn't afford to swap tickets with someone else.

Well, to some extent about the Turks living here - yes. I'd say it differs regionally. Also in some issues they can be lumped together with Muslims in general (for example the mosque thing).

China here.
On the left side of Amur river you have vast underpopulated space.
On the right side of Amur river you have vast numbers of Chinamen.
Go figure.
Stupid people fear NATO and the US instead.

We're living some interesting times.. i wonder what China will become in the 50 years or so i should have left and will see.

Hold on, but are you telling me is it illegal to have a barbeque in Canada? In which charcoal, derived from trees, is used? Man, your country is crazy (if so).

Yeah, people seem to be worried about all those Poles flooding in and stealing all the jobs - all those jobs no one else wanted to do anyway. Yeah, figure that one out.

And the French. Everyone's worried about the French. Especially in this area of the world. They are far too close for comfort

Norwayv has the last years gone from staunch pro-americanism to staunch anti-americanism. Unfortunately.

[Provost Harrison]

I think that is pretty typical. We're supposed to be their closest allies, but trust me, they aren't too popular (especially Bush)

[Julian Delphiki]

Well, i don't think that paranoia is completely unwarranted with current administration, which is the biggest reason for it. Damage done by them to US image worldwide is staggering, but not that worrying yet.. when i will post

USA
USA
USA

then it has really gotten out of hand.

Actually, there is currently a burning ban due to the crazy high fire index.
