Possibly hopefully maybe has content for discussion? We can discuss what we like about various nations, countries, cultures, and not become a forum game. While also not becoming too negative.
Perhaps we can discuss that without it becoming a heated debate?
I feel like there is far too much focus on the internet about what people don't like about various countries and cultures. All this nationalistic fervor I don't want to repeat.
I personally don't even like the existence of countries myself. But I can still find many a good thing to say about them. So why don't we start talking about the good in various countries and cultures rather than the bad?

In the United States of America, my home country, I really like the punk music scene. There's this vibrant music scene that a lot of people don't realize is still being carried on, especially in hardcore punk. Once you look outside the mainstream, there's a lot, and a mean a whole whole heck of a lot of good music to be found. Some people don't look much as America because our heavy metal scene isn't as impressive to them as Europe. But there's a whole lot of genres that the United States is experimenting with.
In both Germany, the United States, and Britain, I really like the industrial music scene. There's a lot of interesting and creative music coming from these countries in this genre. There's definitely a lot more you're going to find than Rammstein or Marilyn Manson. Just lately I've been listening to Janus which is out of Germany, which is some really fascinating and wonderful music.
In South Korea, I feel like their MMORPGs are really underrated. People continuously blame them of making the same old games and never innovating. And indeed there are flaws. On the other hand, you have games like Tera and Blade & Soul attempting to innovate combat and bring something new to the table.
In Japan, I really like the video game industry. I know it is going through a slump right now, but I feel like video games is one of the places where Japan's influence was really important. Nintendo revived the industry and many of the major contenders throughout its history have been Japanese. And a lot of products are very interesting.
I like how much Japan seems to like cute stuff. Liking My Little Pony in the United States bats a few eyebrows, but it seems like at least in the Japanese pop culture world, cuteness is all over the place. It really is a wonder as someone who likes cute stuff myself. I feel like I'd like if my country seemed to appreciate cuteness as much as Japan. Cuteness definitely isn't just for kids.
I really like how in countries like Germany, Sweden, and Finland, just to name a few, women and sexual minorities have such a full breadth of rights and often respect. I feel like in the United States are catching up in that regard. Germany and Sweden seem like some of the best places in the world to live if you are transgender, or homosexual. Or something similar.
And that's just a few things I like about various countries. I think it is time you give you all a turn.
