FLAG FLAPPERS...
with many different nationalities and opinions the study of ljers bigotry holds much scope, though by far the majority would seem to be those from the united states.
the French on lj would by far seem to be the most intellectually rigorous and knowledgeable on world politics whereas the americans (usa) seem the most fervently patriotic and while critical of their government (bush etc) prepared to brush aside these faults complacent that america can do no wrong, oddly enough even those americans with radical politics which go against the american way of life seem to rant hysterically when others point out faults.
the english seem the most subdued and reasonable, not pushing opinions too hard yet refusing to budge on them all the while keeping a sphinx like calm, with no trace of the pseudo aristocratic arrogance and lack of humour for which they and those from the usa are famed (probably not fairly).
from the small glimpse of the world of lj i have seen i would judge the French to take 1st place, scandinavians 2nd and the English 3rd, (in world knowledge) this is a gross generalisation however may hold some truth, if i seem overly critical of americans here it is pertinent to point out that i only make mention of patriotism and intellectualism (of which in both fields i am sadly lacking).
