Platypus' are enigmatic. If they were ambrosial, I wouldn't need geni-*shot*
Platypuses are cool. Look at'em, so adorable. How do they spew poison? I don't know.

I know how you feel Smearsmear. Not many people know about Singapore either, despite our infamous laws such as banning imported chewing gum and death sentences for kidnapping.
Scarlet Ibises are the shiz. And so are ssssnakes.

Wait, I think I went off topic... Unless there are ssssnakes in Australia.

It's ok, it's ok. You don't have to be.

It would take very harsh circumstances for me to actually be mad. Like, say, being forced to spend an eternity in France, soon to be known as Gyspyanarchismfailedsocialismandcontinuedcolonialexploitsinnorthernafricaonia.

Europe isn't doing so well lately, anyways.
I wouldn't live in France, either. We're probably both fine where we are, anyways.

Eh, I honestly think it's the current mentality that divides a place. I kind of gave up on forming general opinions on every country because I can find a place or even just an aspect I hate or like everywhere. Borders can't contain mindsets, which are moving too often for one to keep up with them. I'd rather just like people.

I'd like to be in a country where I can marry and there aren't mines in my backyard. Beyond that I'm pretty content.

Europe kind of declined recently, but so did a lot of places. I'd say it's hopefully just countries starting to level out with one another.

Actually, that doesn't sound too faulty an outlook. The borders cause people to have more biased opinions on a group of people because of what certain members of the country's community has done. They'll possibly exist for most of our history, though. I wouldn't doubt it.

Is that hypothetical or is something wrong with where you currently are?

Certain countries in Europe are rather fortunate to have Germany be so generous. Where do you think hasn't declined?

Yeah, but those aspects are pretty superficial. If that border happened to be lined up differently I would suddenly not be correlated with what a group of people and their ancestors had done. Of course there would have to be differences already there for borders to appear, but like race, significant differences are fabricated mentally.

Hypothetical. I live in a nice place.

Small countries like Andorra, mostly.

Oh, of course. Then that superficial disdain exists for a line that does not even. It isn't so unexpected, though, since people are mostly superficial, anyways. Such a majority that it they end up engulfing those who are to a lesser degree or those who are not. If American borders were to change, perhaps people would state their opinions in the past tense. Or they could specify "[i]x[/i] country until 2057."

All to say how far people will go to express their opinions or how idealist some people can be. Though I'm more of a realist than an idealist, really.

I asked if it was hypothetical or not because I would have been a bit concerned if you lived in a bad place.

People would, generally, be a lot less prejudiced if largely meaningless titles such as nationality faded. I don't entirely disagree with the notion of pride in where you come from, but it creates unnecessary drama much too often.

Yeah, I don't, though I can see how it seemed like I was describing current issues I had faced.
