So you are equating "criticising a country" with "not supporting a country?" Or you simply posited that the former is a sufficient condition for the latter?

You and I both know that there's critisizing a country, and then there's claiming a country is so ignorant that atrocities committed against it are just desert. A critique is fine for fine tuning a land you love, but trying to find arms against every single issue regarding a nation tells me (pretty blatently) that MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING THERE

I think there is a huge tie for first, including many nations not mentioned here. I suppose that the respondents couldn't have been expected to know of these places or something.

From my limited experience: France, America, China. Can't really decide a winner of those three.
The reasons for picking France and America should be obvious to anyone here
About China: many Chinese people seem to have a picture of the world that is just... strange. Like the idea that Russia is occupying 5.000.000 km2 (roughly 2.000.000 sq.miles) of what is rightfully Chinese territory. At least I was told that "fact" a few days ago

It wouldn't be fair competition if Germany was included

This thread is retarded, but I'm glad Zylka made it. It gives the blatant US haters an outlet to look stupid in.

47% of you think the US is less politically progressive than Iran? Nigeria? Malaysia? What are you guys smoking? I'm smoking weed and even I realize the ridiculousness of that.

Come on now, you might not agree with some things the US does, but to call it the least politically progressive nation on earth is just silly.

You guys (you know who you are) need to keep your emotions out of things and need to start to objectifying your world if you want people to take you seriously.

What a troop of nerds.

Somalia, not on list.
Serbs have 2 votes at this post, Brazil has none.

Gripless people.

So how many Americans voted for China ahead of those countries? C'mon now be honest, at the time of writing there are 8 votes for China, I'll bet at least 4 of those votes are from the US.
