[QUOTE=Ignhelper;34225614]What about the land of vikings
I thought Swedish,Norwegian and the danish were friendly?[/QUOTE]
Many people here have a dislike towards immigrants (arabs in particular tend to act culturally different, form gangs, and sometimes have criminal associations), so many of us are hostile towards people with foreign appearances. We also tend to find tourists to be an annoyance, like being bad drivers, or generally just being in the way of our daily life.
That said, almost everyone here has (decent) knowledge of English and there still are plenty of nice and helpful people.
(Protip: Guys are usually better at English because we've been obsessed with English videogames and movies since we were kids, while girls with good grades in English are usually people that learned it all by the book and did a lot of ass-kissing with the teachers)
[QUOTE=SlashSpeed;34226025]Mexico is thirteenth.
Ok.[/QUOTE]
This whole study is bullshit.
This can't be true. One of the biggest assholes I've ever met online (And also in Kane and Lynch) was from Singapore.
He basically threatened to bring in his veteran "buddies" (Which of course, he didn't have) to kill off an already almost dead game, following along with him adding all my friends and saying stuff like "live is stupid" or something.
This is just a long story short.
Apparently one asshole represents an entire country. Regardless Singapore is still awful.
The UK really should be at the bottom.
Bring drugs to Singapore, and they'll be so friendly you'll swear you're dead!

I'm guessing you're one of those who think africa as lol child soldiers, rape, aids, civil war and war lords only.
[QUOTE=Jackald;34225463]How I imagine a trip to America going:
"Hey there, welcome to America"
"Thanks for the welcome"
"Did you have a good trip?"
"Yeah it was ok, bit of turbulence on the way in"
*Stony stares of silence*
"JESUS MUST NOT WANT YOU IN OUR COUNTRY THEN YA GIDAMMED COMMUNIST MUSLIM IMMIGRANT FAGGOT, I'M CALLIN THE POLICE"
Though i'm sure that's an exaggeration.
There's no way they'd say "Welcome to America"[/QUOTE]
Yep, because every citizen in America is just like that. Not just a couple, but every single citizen.

not at the bottom, but no where near where it is
I call bullshit, where is Brazil?
Huh. Bear in mind this survey only asked people who left their home country to live somewhere else, so no tourism.
South Africans are really friendly when they mug you at gunpoint usually
But serious response. Everyone I've met from there has been pretty cool people.
It says the majority of people who come to Canada get better working conditions. No fucking shit, most of them are coming from China, sub-Saharan Africa and India. Canada is also too large to judge as being a friendly country because I've met plenty of people who are assholes to foreigners.

They tried to survey the people of Brazil but too many of their workers got stabbed, so they decided against it.

I wonder if you're saying it just to piss people off or if you're really dumb like that.

I have family in New Zealand, and there is no fucking way that country is friendly
A few months ago someone took a chainsaw to my cousin's car while he was stopped at the lights

well you've got cheap guns and cheap gasoline
what more could you want
How were the statistics even collected to rank these? It makes little sense
New Zealand is really friendly though, I understand that one.
Fuck you all, we're the friendliest this shit is BULLSHIt!!!!111

no wonder New Zealand won then, that translates to
giving out free smokes
talking about fush and chups and generally slurring a bit
selling drugs
taking drugs and fighting
[QUOTE=Jackald;34225482]Wait, why the fuck is the UK #7, we're right cunts.[/QUOTE]
That reminds me of a story of when I travelled to UK a while ago. When I asked for directions on the streets, some people went "ewww fuck off American" when I talked to them because of my North American accent. And right after I told them that I am Canadian/we have the same queen, they goes "Oh sorry about that buddy. Just go here, turn here, etc and you'll be there. Take care"
:pwn:

Actually, people in the Bible belt are more friendly than they were in where I lived near DC. I live in the South now, but I used to live in northern Virginia, people are really nice down here. It must be the southern hospitality.
I don't hate Americans. I only hate those that shows signs of a stereotypical American asshole, uneducated idiot, or religion extremists.
I've only ever had good experiences with the UK, last year I went over to see a cousin in Uni and his English and Welsh roomates were dead friendly and sound, one of them was one of the most English men I ever met in my entire life but we still got on well, it ended up with us getting kicked out of some nightclub and singing "Over the hills and far away" and "Heart of Oak" at 4am loaded, I thought them how to sing "Dirty oul' town"
Australia, where everyones a racist managed second place?
