    Default Improved Strengths & Weaknesses database

    I'll get us started:

    ENGLAND:
    Strengths: Kill an awful lot of Frenchmen
    Weaknesses: Insufferable, uptight prigs; bad food; worse weather

    IRELAND:
    Strengths: Great Whiskey
    Weaknesses: Drunk most of the time

    SCOTLAND:
    Strengths: Have a sheep question? Ask a Scot!
    Weaknesses: Men dress like Catholic school girls; you can’t understand them without subtitles; have you seen what these people eat?

    NORWAY:
    Strengths: Great national health-care
    Weaknesses: High suicide rate; make crappy furniture

    Ireland gets kudos for whiskey but Scotland doesn't?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I assume you are not refering to IKEA because that is Swedish.

    You should probably ask a Welshman or a New Zealander about sheep.

    Killing Frenchmen is not really a strength and how do u know they are any good at it when they haven't tried for 200 years?

    I felt the sheep issue was overriding in this case.

    Ah, that is fair enough, whilst not the best we are certainly the most capable of answering sheep questions out of the countries available to play in the game.

    No, I thought it would make me laugh.

    Don't be so hyper-sensitive; I'm hardly degrading anyone. You know, it's grotesque over-reactions to harmless jokes that make people ignore real and serious abuse complaints...

    Besides--Have you ever actually eaten haggis?

    Oh, and in case you want to whine to the moderators, I made fun of the German language here and Catholic priests here. Go nuts--enjoy yourself.

    Spain-
    Stengths:Ability to conquer half of the other side of the world, amazing football players
    Weaknesses: Though they can conquer half of the other side of the world, they can't reclaim their territories in their own backyard (Portugal), too much spicy food, no one that isn't Spanish really likes Spain, the Spanish language makes everything sound like "EEEE" (ll = E, ~N = NYEE, etc., E=U?)

    Sterngth: Nice wine, women and food [makes a hell of a party!]

    Weakness: If you can't get the menu and the women to speak english, you're toasted. And they spit you in the face when they try to go for the letter "R".

    Moors

    Strength

    Have a great beach [thousands of miles long] with great waves; ideal for some surf. And one Imam can freely call o Jihad on an infidel, any time he gets bored or the weather isn't fit for surfing.

    Weakness

    Most of their army is composed of militiamen, men who run at the slightest sign of trouble. I've discovered that their loyalty is nowhere to be found and the sand can get in pretty much every...place of your body. And you can't shower every now and then because God didn't saw fit to equip their dessert with some swiming pool or a public bath. [Where are the Romans when you need them?!]
