I Hate Countries With "Land" In Their Name.

Bugger off, OP!

How about provinces?

OP can just fuck right off.

r3 I agree with the OP

And me?

Who are you, OP, Fanny Dooley?

Finland is a basic bitch.

Ukraine!

Do not get me started on Ireland.

England.

Go fuck yourself, OP

Land, it's the only thing that matters because it's the only thing that lasts! It'll come to you in time, this love of the land, if you're Irish.

Pass the turnip, Gerald.

r11

That's why I changed my name from Basutoland to Lesetho

r14

Me too

You hate Swaziland? Racist!

S o glad we changed our names decades ago... lest we offend you OP

Bechuanaland, Basutoland, Saarland, Courland, Sudetenland, Nagaland, and other places I nbet you couldn't point to on a map, you ignorant fuck.

MARY!(land)

That's exactly what our test audiences told us, decades ago.

I'm quite happy here, actually.

All the "stan" countries mean "land."

I do hate the "stan" countries.

OP here I said, I hate "LAND" not "STAN"

I Love Stan

Oh for LANDS sake, just listen to you ninnies, why don't you go out and get laid instead of all this needless bickering?

That's what they call her in the West End productions of [italic]Oklahoma![/italic] in EngLAND!

You hate Land OP, but Reich is just fine with you?

A nation is a people, not a place R26.

Interestingly, the ancient origin of the Germanic "volk" and anglophone "folk" is not "people" but "ratepayer," which is to say people of politically privileged classes. Remember that when you consider what is the real source of racist nationalism of the nineteenth century. They never meant the people, just "the people who count."

I'm just the opposite of OP, I love "lands", as kids we used to play a game "How many countries /states/provinces can you name ending in "land". Hours of fun in the backseat on long trips.

My favorite was "stellaland" , anyone here know of it ? ( without googling it I mean )

When Stellaland merged with the neighbouring Land of Goshen , they became the United States of Stellaland.

Double whammy of LANDS for you there OP

Does OP shop at Lands End?

Scotland!

Oh deer! We're always forgotten.

Such an idiotic claim to make on this particular board.

Indeed.

OP - I was born in New ZeaLAND and left for Australia at 18. I'm a New ZeaLANDer who became Australian.

Suck that.

OTOH, R33...

Where in Australia, Queensland?

I used to be Van Diemen's Land.

Do your hate DisneyLAND, but love Walt Disney World?

Why settle for one ?

I guess Greenland is on your list as well?

What's the matter, OP, you don't like butter?

I just moved to Landover , MD in my Land Rover, with my husband Landrew, and our dog Landry

Dear Ann Landers,

Someone I know has recently expressed an irrational hatred of countries that end in "land". I am very concerned, what should I do?

Lost in Long Island

Dear Lost,

Tell your friend Ann Landers says "go fuck yourself" and then you need to find better friends.

Thailand is the worst.

Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People are no damn good, but they will always need land and they'll pay through the nose to get it! Remember," my father said...

Fuck off OP

[quote]Hate IceLAND, love Denmark

Hey OP, did you know that Denmark is located on the JutLAND Peninsula?

Suck on that.

Land'O'Goshen!

I like it. "Czech Republic" is such a stupid name, but now they're trying to be "Czechia" which is just never gonna happen. Should have gone with "Czechland."

r2

Not only do you have "land" in the name but you're too stupid to separate the "new" from the main word. Total fail, Newfie.

R51, but it's not New Foundland. It's newfound land. And technically the province name is Newfoundland and Labrador.

r11

The thread work Swaziland changed its name to eSwatini

OP is just still upset his parents never took him to DisneyLAND.

[quote]but it's not New Foundland

It IS. They found new land.

How could anyone hate Candyland? It's my favorite country.

R55 One of us is not understanding this, and I'm not sure which one of us it is.

Newfoundland was named because, they (the explorers) FOUND NEW LAND.

Or in the archaic English of the time, it was NEW FOUND LAND

What about the Land of Oz?
