All the happy people in the 'how cool are us guys' thread saying we're a nation of drunken losers, got me thinking.

What is the coolest nationality?

I'd say the Italians. They couple a healtly aversion to hardwork with a love of good food and fine wine (& women) They take the month of August off every year, love their football, dress well, look good etc etc.

Ok so theres some national stereotypes there but you get the general idea.

Who is coolest and why?

The English - because of all the cool stuff to come from there: music, film, TV, fashion, literature, theatre, newspapers, magazines, comedy, to a lesser extent football.

have to agree, any nation that can pull off wearing shades at night gets my vote!

The French, especially on the mediteranean coast,
cool, laid back, and sexy women.
Cafes, restaurants and nice weather.

I'd say the Italians because of the way they look, the way they dress, the food they eat etc. The Swedish are pretty classy/cool as well.

The Atlanteans - they were too cool for this world so they sunk their own island. Beat that.

Gingers.

If they can be their own race, they can be their own nationality too.

And they're cool...
