no, we're just slightly less rich.

there's not much difference from living in the ''capital area'' and an average country in Europe f.x.when you have reached 350000 people there isn't much change in raising it to about a million.Iceland also has the 4. lowest count of people every square Km. about 1/3 of the countries population lives not more than 15 minutes from the capital.

The Blue Lagoon is my favorite place on Earth. :) Anyone else been?

There is nothing funny about that, alot of people are broke and have no jobs.

It's not "stupid" to have misconceptions about Iceland if one has never been there. It's ignorant, but not "stupid." When you stated that Americans "can be a tiny little bit stupid," you generalize about 300 million very diverse people across a continent from east to west.

haha, they are poor now

i went thier

being a minister in Iceland is not much different from working for a town centre or something. hardly anyone lives there :p

Yes, there's /b/ for that xD

What the music? Sounds like Coil.

There could be a reason why there isnt everyone nice to americans, but you are fine. I'm from Iceland, and you can be a tiny little bit stupid (there are not whales in lakes, Þingvallavatn is a lake, not a ocean like some guys from national Geographic thought).

you've rihgt, thats also good for your skin and relaxing, you should try it.

What are you waiting fore then? We are ok.

Oh yes they do, you just didnt ask!

are there any sites, forums, discussion boards about politics, social sphere, economics, etc across the internet where you would be able to express your mind and feelings concerning to that.. is it necessary to do this on youtube? and especially under the video from "Top Gear", which is a motoring show.. no offence, but you folks are possessed :)

Media lies? really? I hardly doubt in our market economies that the media would actually lie... I do believe that they use alarmist tactics... but that's only a outset of their market role... higher ratings from more viewers equal advertising revenue, but I doubt that they would actually lie... remember CBS news had Dan Rather retire because he reported on a story that had bad sources? People would notice if the media lied... everyone has issues with the media, libs with fox, repubs with cnn..

good work ethic? financing wars and revolutions (often on both sides) and deceiving their supposed allies? We should certainly be allowed to curse them, but I admit that we better take a good hard look at the weakness in ourselves that made their dominance possible... and how does this cabal seem implausible? they are after all tanking the US economy to eradicate the US dollar: replace it with the AMERo to further globalize their global plantation... seems like quite the perfect cabal to me..

Jeez, as someone who praised the autocratic state of China for not having liberal elements ruling their politics, you sure to whine a lot about a "super elite class"... kinda like the Chinese Communist Party's politburo... once again, I expected some form of consistency from you, stop disappointing me!

What exactly are you referring to when you say super elite class? Jews? don't hate on them because they tend to have good work ethic (which made them a target of hatred by your ilk, especially during the late thirties in Germany... see where that went? Bankers? Industrialists? you mean the same group of people who being blamed by the public at large for the current financial crisis? This hardly sounds like a well-put together cabal you see it... and why the opposition to india? what about China?

yes the billion strong brown country is growing in size and strength... does might always make right... as hundreds of millions suffer and live under a state of abject servitude you'll forgive my lack of enthusiasm about its potential to bring democracy, social justice and stability to the future. Our ilk predicted a future of mindless mongrels ruled by a super elite class (free masons, jews, bankers, industrialists) etc... this is precisely what has taken place...
