The survey asked participants in 33 countries about how much trust, admiration and pride they felt for their country, with the results being presented as an index:

For Japan, the plains are much greener on the other side.
Well considering Japan is short on plains...
but high on loli~
Loli is a highly priced natural resource this days. I'll give $200 for each barrel of loli.
Everyone of my friends from Finland suffer from depression.. so this is wrong! D :
Lolies are their life source, like oil is to Norway. Or something. :V
$500 for each roll of barrels of lolis!
I moved from Finland when I was 7 and I _STILL_ suffer from depression...
$200 a barrel? Crude or refined loli? o_0
Just asking.
.:News at 8:. Today once again Lolis skyrocketed in price going up to 500$ a barrel.
refined costs less in this case, crude you get to refine it yourself, but each to their own liking, IL TAKE 2 BARRELS OF CRUDE AND 1 BARREL OF REFINED
I'm from Finland and am suffering from depression atm.
Is there anything specific causing depression in Finland?
Vodka, knifes and sauna.
People here reject anyone who is a bit different from them, bullying and lot of other shit. Oh, vodka is a russian thing mostly and sauna is awesome, not a cause for depression.
The most recent order of lolis in barrels was rejected, thus the depression.
WHAT?! MY BARRELS OF LOLIES WERE REJECTED? BLASPHAMY.... now im depressed...
Finns are unhappy but proud of their unhappiness? The list of countries is quite incomplete.I feel people here in Sweden are both happy and proud. I can compare, because i have lived the first half of my life in Finland.
One possible cause for depression for finnish people is the lack of sunlight during long winters, but one tablet of calcium with vitamin D a day sould fix that.
Better get some crude with the refined, need some tsuntsun's to go with the deredere's.
lolis in barrels...
Finland is depressing coz if you start talking to someone (even someone you know) in a semi-audible voice then everyone on the train or whateva public transport stare at u like some nut.
>>Finland is depressing coz if you start talking to someone (even someone you know) in a semi-audible voice then everyone on the train or whateva public transport stare at u like some nut.>>
Bullshit - paskapuhetta.
That happens only if you start talking to a person you do NOT know, and even then the other people you are not talking won't give a shit, unless you talk in a VERY LOUD VOICE (in Finnish standards), which foreigners quite often tend to do..
You can't spell loli without o i and l.
why barrel of lolis, it could only fir in 2 at max, lol. Crates are better
This is totally turning into something from Spice and Wolf...
I find this very hard to believe,
Japan has like clean streets, high tech gears, all around food markets,you can practically wear whatever the hell you want in Japan without getting judged....or be laughed at
To my western eyes, it's seemed for a long time like the entire nation of Japan has an inferiority complex... they just cope with it in different ways.
Well of course there are no overt signs of unhappiness. Thats what most Japanese people are trained to do. Why do you think all Japanese voice actors sound the same? To mask the unbearable and crushing depression they live in.
Are you seriously saying that all japanese voice actors sound the same?
You havent watched enough then.
Japan probably feels this way from Korea and China bitching at them every day for what their grand parents has done.
I was surprised when I didn't see Korea being number one of the proudest nation, but I guess they ranked so high they shot off the charts.
lol stop basing japan on animes, FYI generally japanese people dislike people who dress and act differently to the norm. At least this was what i experienced and was told when i was over there.
@ Kir Royal
Japan doesn't have rye bread or salmiac.
nobody fucking cares whether theyre proud or not
they make the the products and anime that we want so fuck all those lame countries for being proud of nothing
japan is superior
agreed.
some people proud for nothing, ive seen this thing so many time.some time the superior 1 dun feel proud or whatever.
look at india and china.what do they have to be proud for?nothing
Actually they have a lot to be proud for..
Stop being a fucking japanophile shit and look at the bigger picture please.
Japan has lots of pride. That's 100% of their bar.
Whether they have admiration or trust for their country is another story. Everyone knows the japanese live a pretty shitty life of shitty housing and shitty jobs with shitty pay. But everyone LOVES japan just because their country LOOKS better.
It's little surprising why austrailia and canada are top of the list. You wanna know why? Because they're the most diverse and tolerant countries in the world. They're the most peaceful and well respected countries in the world. All any other country has is envy for japan's successes, but real japanese know their standard of living is shit.
India, and sadly to say China as well has advanced much more in the past 10 years compared to japan. India is especially better considering they can go into any country and become successful, simply because of how their kids are raised. Just expanding on the previous anon, but yeah stop being a japanophile you stupid cunt.
Just imagine what kinda people this question was asked in China and India.
Yeah, if Indians are so fucking advanced, why can't they develop a drug/spray to get rid of that awful curry smell?
If japanese are so advanced why dont they invent something to get their heads out of their asses?
Stop being such a fucking racist moron you fucking piece of shit. I've met more tolerant americans than anyone on SC.
americans are tolerant wtf?
I'm only half-japanese, but I'm fuckin' proud of it. It's probably the the older generations that may be less proud because of WW2 and everything, and we know there's a good percent of older people in japan....
Being half-Japanese might actually work to make you *more* proud of Japan because you may have been able to compare certain aspects of other countries to those of Japan...I know that's the way it's been for me (half-Japanese as well)...
I'm half Japanese but I lived in Japan for till the end of high-school and boy these people are unpatriotic shits. I went to Yasukuni shrine thrice and the Hiroshima memorial museum two times.
I also have a Japanese passport unlike those weaboos and I drive with an international licence in the US using a Japanese licence. 日本は神韻縹渺たる神の国であり、それを理解出来ぬ者は生きる価値なし。
Weeaboo fuck.
Nippon Banzai!
Hahahahahahaha
Wow. They don't have enough pride percentage points to beat a filibuster.
sry but pressing the "reply to First Posting Idiot" button was just too tempting..
Canada small and insignificant?!
LOL Artefact has a dry sense of humour.
yup
And damn proud of it. :)
Hell yeah Canada. XD
Heh, on a side note, everyone I know loves Canada and I'm proud to call myself Canadian!
Everyone you know only likes Canada for their maple syrup, silly.^^
And Colin Mocherie (Who's Line is it Anyway?)
Maple syrup?
Does CANADIAN BACON not ring a bell?
Beaver Tail fried dough is the best.
Right, pride in giving the world Celine Dion?
I'm Australian and was thinking that if I moved overseas, I would go to canada. Strange...I thought I was full of myself before reading this
you must not know many people then
Canada is a great place and I am proud to be Canadian and also Québécois.
On the other hand, I hate Harper.
Well, whatever, Canada rocks -and Japan-.
(=^.^=)
quebec sucks.
Well as long as you don't want to build your own country.... I mean who cares about who speak English, French or the native languages, we all speak CANADIAN!
Hell yeah ! Quebec, Canada too ! I love my province and I love my country.
Separatism is an old and dead ideology, as long as our different culture is acknowledged (both in a good or bad way), I'm fine.
Quebec sucks
I agree with this love Canada, hate our government also as far as Quebec is concerned you don't speak French ask a French person, in my opinion English should be made the national language for strictly practical reasons, while your language is part of Canada's heritage and your culture helped shape Canada into what it is I really can't see any valid reason to keep supporting it.
French Canadians suck ass, real Canadians are ok though.
Then why don't you say that in Quebec? We'll see how long you'll last down there.
You gave us the Best there was, the Best there is, the Best there ever will be.
What's not to like?
+1
Oh f*ck yeah...Thats right.
I may love my country, but I don't love actually living here...
Same for me. I love my country, Singapore but seriously the people here are fucked up.
Well it is one of cleanest place in the world because of those strict laws of hygiene
Fucked up people indeed...
+1
Country is good, majority of the populace? Eff'd right up the shitter.
Agree with the country being good but the people, well, not so good.
Jap currently living Singapore here. Cannot wait to move on...
Canada is a horrible shitstain of a country. Maple syrup tastes like ass, butter syrup tastes way better. And... well there is nothing else to Canada besides those horrid pseudo-frenchmen whose existance we tolerate.
Yes I am Canadian and hate this bloody colony and the pot smoking hippies and dirty frenchmen whom populate it.
+1 for frenchfag hating.
This might work on /b/, but the collective IQ here is actually above tepid water.
Just barely though =)
I think you got shorted out on your maple syrup.
Lol YES. Because maple syrup and French people make up Canada.
*sarcasm*
Why don't u get the fuck out then? hypocrite shithead.
thanks for your insightful input..
now go back to your trailer park. Your a waste of perfectly good DNA.
Canada sells their milk in bags, which is an affront to God. Furthermore, Canadian law requires that people read the comic strip For Better or for Worse. Those who do not are sentenced to torture. Many people in Canada have been sacrificed to Guy, their god of hockey.
It is a savage, untamed land.
30 years ago when I had occasion to travel in parts of Canada I was struck by the fact that soft-serve ice cream vendors only had Vanilla, no Chocolate. I tried many different ice cream stands but never found Chocolate ice cream.
WTF??!
Does Canada have chocolate ice cream now, after all these years? I sure hope so.
@Anon 09:48
Are you a fucking idiot?
Not small, just insignificant.
well its not small but it is insignificant.
+2 for milkbags
