What Is The Greatest Country On Earth?

[Slicks]

back it up, I think that goes to prove how ignorant americans are. I seriously hope you're kidding, we have loads of Viagra and a shortage of flu vaccine! We're taxed to the bone! We can't even get a handle on government corruptoins!

Man im so sick of stereotypes, why dont you just call him fat too for being american? Because one person says america that makes everyone from there ignorant?
What alot of people dont realize about america is if we dont like our govornment we the people can change it as we see fit. (ha, i did learn something in US govornment class )

Hey man, don't get me wrong, we are very lucky to live in as free a country as this, but I can tell you right now that our government is SERIOUSLY ****ed up.

we have john howard, lol hes different from otha prime ministers and presidents, goes for a walk every morning around town

I would put NZ ahead of Australia in terms of countryside and living standards (Australian Hospitals in all honesty are not that flash, better than Ghana, but thats not hard) and their Pm isn't a US Lapdog. But the land is a bit shaky and the towns are a bit too small, you need to really get to know your neighbours......

But other than that, i can live without a beach.

having seen quite a number of countries, although not all of them in great depth, it becomes obvious that no country combines all the nice things that you would to have around.
Best compromises would be Canada, in particular the west coast, and from a countryside point of view that would continue into the USA, oregon and washington, but not from a political point of view.
In Europe Northern Atlantic Spain, the French Alps or the German Eiffel are very attractive, but what is more important is the social climate of a country, which is IMHO the best in Scandinavian countries in particular Sweden and Danmark and in Holland. Being Dutch also helps a lot in determining my choice for the Netherlands, in spite of its absence of any mountains and the chance that in 50-100 years from now large parts of the countery may have been swallowed by the sea due to global warming.

Well, to be honest, i always thought a major part of Holland has been below sea level for a long time, only saved by Dykes and the like. To blame it all on global warming would be to deny the fact that Holland was living on borrowed time for a little while now. From what i've heard and seen though, most of Europe, steeped in such history, would be excellent.

The outer border of the land, the dunes allowed the country to form itself, you can see how that process is still going on from our northern islands. and yes, a great number of former lakes have been dried (polders) which are below the sea level. Many rivers and sea arms have been closed off to prevent flooding due to high water (we had a major disaster in 1953, where more than 1800 people lost their lives) but there are limits as to how high you can go. It is expected that with a one metre rise of the sealevel a significant part of the country has to be given back, and probably the dunes will be washed away.

The most bueatiful Place ive ever visited _ The lake district - England

Activites
The Lake District National Park is in the North West of England, in the county of Cumbria. The landscape is 500 million years old and is varied and dramatic. It has mountains, moors, woodland as well as lakes and rocky and sandy coasts. The Lake District National Park is a local Government body which has two purposes: To conserve and enhance the natural beauty , wildlife and cultural heritage of the Lake District; The Lake District is well known for its rough glacial landscapes and views. Its is one of the wettest parts of the UK, because of its position in the west of Britain and because of the mountains which are found there. The Lake District is the largest of the National Parks and covers 2,292km in area.http://www.search-cumbria.com/panoramas/

Global warming is a big issue in the Pacific also, with islands like Samoa and Fiji under threat of being left with only the very heights of their mountains. Holland is not alone, if, for example, the sea level rose 3 metres, 1/3 of NZ would be underwater, including my old house. However, it would still be hard to prevent what already underway, especially with such countries ad the US and Australia failing to Ratify such measures as the Kyoto Agreement.

The costs of Britain will be swaped dramacticy with the rise in glacier melting in greenland and cold places....we are all going to die.....In australia isnt there a high risk of skin cancer? ( ozone damage- sun rays)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Also in NZ. But it's more prevalent in NZ because they are right under the Ozone Hole. In Australia it's not so much the hole as the fact we are always outside, at the beach, at work, at play.......

When we try and keep cool, we leave ourselves open to the sun.
