Try it, it works for most countries.

Sweden:

We were a good country but now a nice lake for Norway and Finland.


Cannot deny the USA is a good country, can't get enough of it myself. But why the constant need to assert it?


Why does it bother you that we do?

Martlet it doesn't bother me. I'm just curious. I never have to assert my pride in being Irish. I just am what I am. It's an American thing I think. Australians do it to sometimes. Maybe it's a new(ish) country thing?

Why do YOU think it might bother me?

I just gathered that from your post.  It's not the first time I've been mistaken.

When you are the best you needn't bother with the rest.

You are confusing the deaths of trying to escape FROM a place. Cubans are not shot or incarcerated for going to Mexico (or France to use your example).

I was talking about risking death to get TO a place. Haitians are not dying by the hundreds each year by trying to get to Jamaica, they die by trying to get to America. Who is actually dying by the hundreds to reach the EU, and how?  I have read that most European countries are seeing an overall decline in citizenry, at least a drastically slower increase than the rest of the world.
