The world’s worst moaners
p2pnet.net News:- Swedes are the world’s worst moaners, with Brits in second place and Australians at number three.
Canada came in at number four and Argentina, Brazil and the US tied for fifth place.
Yup. At least, that’s what an NOP world poll, quoted by The Register, states.
The “probe of 30,000 whiners showed that a stunning 41 per cent of Swedes complained about a company or organisation in the last 12 months,” says the story, going on that it showed, “the wealthiest and better educated respondents tended to be the most likely to speak out if they were unhappy with an organisation or company.
“This is a damning indictment on Russia (six per cent whine quotient), Poland (five per cent), China (four per cent) Saudi Arabia (three per cent) and poor old Taiwan (one per cent), although we suppose that the average irate Chinese person’s willingness to complain is mitigated by the certain knowledge that they will probably end up being executed as a result.”

Uh, Taiwan is the country comprising the island off the coast of Asia known as Formosa that has NEVER been under Communist control. The capital city is Taipei. This is where Chiang kai-Shek fled with his followers following the Communist takeover of the mainland in 1949. For years (until the 1970s), they (Taiwan) represented ‘China’ in the UN while everyone else politely pretended that mainland China did not exist. Although the Government there is psuedo-democratic, they have not taken to resorting to ex-judicial summary executions for lodging a complaint about a broken streetlamp.

Hey I’m french and I can tell you we are the world’s worst moaners in the world, we always have something to complain about, be it the government, the workplace, politics, sports, whatever…, we complain.
I can’t believe we’re not #1, in the USA they don’t complain as much as they can’t even say “shit” or “fuck” or show their ass/dick (or even raised middle-finger, what about “freedom of speech”…) on TV, WE CAN AND WE DO all the time, kinda national sport here !
