Oh, I know why that is; the landscape, for one, is hardly ideal for supporting so many people, unless we start with a new brand of "humongous mountain cities" and while that's fascinating in its own right, I'd rather say no. I enjoy this country's low population, but as mentioned (and confirmed by you) it is mind-blowing. A wonder, mayhap.KillerMidget said:

Oh really? Then thank you for teaching me that. I've never heard of that before.Eleuthera said:
EDIT: Actually, I just read from Wikipedia that FOUR states were once sovereign nations. Texas, Vermont, Hawaii, and California.
I've been to Florida (Jacksonville, Miami's OK) and Louisiana (New Orleans and Baton Rouge) and you will have to add those two states to your list at least. Maybe because I'm from Nor Cal but any state where people still proudly display confederate flags is redneck to me.Igotaname13 said:
didn't know the Cali and Hawaii ones
The Irish aren't all alcoholics, but im too drunk to check if thats true.
Leprechauns are real
yes leprechauns are just like the ones in the artmis fowl books
We do kiss stones, it gives good luck to kiss them
our country does not have only 4 leaf clovers
contrary to those that wish the irsh to look forgiving and friendly to the english, trust me, the majority hate all the english, even if they dont know why.
Folklore does not represent all irish culture and folklore just because it was developed in dublin
We say Three by saying "tree"
Our language is dead and pointless regardless of what others say, beautiful as it may be
Turks once sailed up the Baltimore coastline and raided the town, why or how turks ended up sailing from their country to ours to raid one town remains a mystery, naturally we blamed the english
Yes all irish beleive it is the english's fault all the time
Yes most southern Irishmen (mostly the young) are hypocrites with their support of IRA and hatred of Al-qaeda
Guiness is good for your health, honestly!
No irishmen do not only eat potatoes all the time, we learnt our lesson

Hungary..
Um..
We [they] use the word 'Hello' as a farewell.
This infuriates me. Most things about that country do.

Sweden.
We all love making fun of our king.
We say 'thank you' a lot.
We don't wear shoes indoors.
On the bus, two complete strangers won't sit next to each other unless there are no other seats empty. We enjoy our personal space.
We tend to be forgiving towards foreigners who have trouble with our language.
Between 6th and 10th grade it is compulsory to read a third language (besides Sw and En); German, French or Spanish. I took French, and lately I have also studied Italian and Japanese.
We're generally a bit taller and a bit paler than the rest of the world.
The ladies are -not- always blonde, though it is TRUE that we're usually unnecessarily humble and a bit uptight.
