Thread: Who are the most fair and balanced people in the world ?

During your personal experiences on various internet discussion forums (including this of course), that you may have joined in the past 5 years. Whom you've debated with.

And during your experiance of actually meeting people from different countries (note : this is not about people of particular race, but about people from different countries) and discussing world politics or anything else.

And during your experiance of browsing around the www of news sources/news bloggs from different countries.

In your opinion, from what country do you find news/opinions the most fair and balanced. (news and opinion is written by people of that country of course)

Hope you understand what i'm trying to say.

My answer, without any doubt in mind, Australians win by a landslide.
Canadians & English come second.

LOL!!! Why Australians? Because we had some on here for a while that you could relate to?

Couple of bad eggs, the majority of Australians i've met/debated with are very much fair and balanced people.

Which country has the maximum amount of people that are fair and balanced. Obviously there will always be bias views from people in every country.

Where's the "nobody on the entire planet" option?

If I'm from a country that is deemed not to have fair and balanced people, how would I be able to recognize a country that had fair and balanced people?

In the last 20 years or so - America.
Nowhere else on the planet is there so much diversity of race, ethnicity, social status and religion than here...all living very close together...99.9% of the time getting along perfectly well.

Huh? Apart from daisym, seems like the majority of Aussies on this site are white supremists... hardly an example of 'fair and balanced' - unless Fox is your definition of such.

As for the thread topic, I don't think it is possible - some of the biggest idiots I've encountered on this site have been Canadians.

I submit, this is a bad thread, it won't and can't work.

Most people here are American and dishonest.

Irish and many british, maybe because their media is a fair and balanced one.
I find Australians to be racist and ultra conservative, their media is also like that too, very much like US neocons

Sorry Jessie, I know some Aussies, they are not the most fair and balanced, they are my friends, they're great, but they have some harsh opinions about every other place. I mean just the way they treat New Zealanders. Haha, they are cool people though. Steve Irwin may have been the exception, but other than that. And no I don't believe it's Canadians either. I mean we are all people, we are all mean, and none of us are fair, so really there may be no answer.
