Which country has the maximum amount of people that are fair and balanced. Obviously there will always be bias views from people in every country.
Why not Canadians? Remember how fair and balanced bcbailey was?

Re: Who are the most fair and balanced people in the world ?

This is a very hard question to answear, i cant really distinguish one area to be more fair and balanced. However i can say that the Australians would not be anywhere near the top of my list. I have Australian heritage and from my experiences both in the country and talking to the people they are some of the most arrogant racist set of people i have ever met.

English would be high on my list aswell as the Americans, just from personal experience.

Re: Who are the most fair and balanced people in the world ?

Canadians of course. As a nation - and I do mean as a nation - they're very balanced, extremism just doesn't get any oxygen there.

And look - Canadian Forces Recruiting - Home - any other nation exhorts potential recruits by calling them to arms, Canada invites them to "fight fear" (among other things). I rest my case.

Oh, not in ice hockey though. Canadians are completely unbalanced when it comes to hockey - when Maurice "Rocket" Richard (the late "Rocket" Richard, a great player and a humble man) was rubbed out of a game the Montreal fans rioted. But I like their passion for their game.

The Scots - we'll have a beer with anyone, regardless of race, sex, religion or ideology.

I Belong to Glasgow

I've been wi' a couple o' cronies,
One or two pals o' my ain;
We went in a hotel, and we did very well,
And then we came out once again;
Then we went into anither,
And that is the reason I'm fu';
We had six deoch-an-doruses, then sang a chorus,
Just listen, I'll sing it to you:

Chorus
I belong to Glasgow,
Dear old Glasgow town;
But what's the matter wi' Glasgow,
For it's goin' roun' and roun'!
I'm only a common old working chap,
As anyone here can see,
But when I get a couple o' drinks on a Saturday,
Glasgow belongs to me!

There's nothing in keeping your money,
And saving a shilling or two;
If you've nothing to spend, then you've nothing to lend,
Why that's all the better for you!
There no harm in taking a drappie,
It ends all your trouble and strife;
It gives ye the feeling that when you get home,
You don't give a hang for the wife!
- dear old Harry Lauder
