How can Belgium be boring with all it's saxophones, trappist beers and paedophiles?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

100 Helens agree with this post.

You please me with your Kids in the Hall reference.

Anyway, wherever I am, it's the most boring country in the world.

Switzerland is boring in a good way.

You will never see a headline 'The Swiss Crisis: Day 37' or whatever...at least not since 1847 (and even that was the lamest civil war ever).  Heck you can study European History for years and safely ignore them.

Switzerland is a good choice, but I'm going with Singapore.

I know it's hard to believe but Belgium actually isn't that boring, our politcians are some of the best clowns in the world.

Belarus is hardly boring. You never know when you will get scooped off the streets by the KBG, for one.

Based on the countries I've visted:

Belgium - crushingly boring but also good food.
Finland - very boring. Nothing stands out there.
Hungary - hardly boring at all. Also nuts.
Switzerland - calm but not boring
United Kingdom - wtf?

I'm torn between Belgium and Finland. I've lived in Belgium for 6 months and been to Finland for only 2 days when I was 12, so voted Belgium on account of personal familiarity (which breeds contempt).

If you find an entire country boring, it's most likely because you are supremely boring yourself.
In general I agree.  For Switzerland I make an exception <_<

I loved the story of bankers who got transferred from London to Zurich in protest at our tax rates.  Most of them wanted to transfer back after six months because they were really bored :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

I didn't find Switzerland boring at all. :hmm:

Well I didn't find it boring when I was there but I do not travel internationally to be bored.  I thought we were discussing in a history of geopolitical sense.  Because there is tons of cool stuff in all of the countries listed if you are a tourist.

In that case, how can Belgium be boring? Historically, that's where Europe goes to fight its battles.   :lol:
