Are these countries that gay men visit, or all people visit? Or does this reflect the number of people who originate in those countries and visit elsewhere?

[woody]

wow, im really suprised australia ranked second, considering we have a much small populas than allmost every other country on there

[dkstories]

Another amusing fact about that list...I've been to SEVENTEEN of those countries and sailed within sight of four more. (Not including my home country, the USA).

[boy on a string]

I am not 4. . European Union. I would have thought that was France, Germany, England, Italy, and the other small nations in that area.

 

So, I am wrong about my assumtion. Does anyone know what the European union is?

From the EU website.

 

The European Union (EU) is a family of democratic European countries, committed to working together for peace and prosperity. It is not a State intended to replace existing states, but it is more than any other international organisation. The EU is, in fact, unique. Its Member States have set up common institutions to which they delegate some of their sovereignty so that decisions on specific matters of joint interest can be made democratically at European level.This pooling of sovereignty is also called "European integration".

 

The historical roots of the European Union lie in the Second World War. The idea of European integration was conceived to prevent such killing and destruction from ever happening again. It was first proposed by the French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in a speech on 9 May 1950. This date, the "birthday" of what is now the EU, is celebrated annually as Europe Day.

There are five EU institutions, each playing a specific role:

 

    * European Parliament (elected by the peoples of the Member States);

    * Council of the European Union (representing the governments of the Member States);

    * European Commission (driving force and executive body);

    * Court of Justice (ensuring compliance with the law);

    * Court of Auditors (controlling sound and lawful management of the EU budget).

 

These are flanked by five other important bodies:

 

    * European Economic and Social Committee (expresses the opinions of organised civil society on economic and social issues);

    * Committee of the Regions (expresses the opinions of regional and local authorities);

    * European Central Bank (responsible for monetary policy and managing the euro);

    * European Ombudsman (deals with citizens' complaints about maladministration by any EU institution or body);

    * European Investment Bank (helps achieve EU objectives by financing investment projects);

 

A number of agencies and other bodies complete the system.Top of the page

 

The rule of law is fundamental to the European Union. All EU decisions and procedures are based on the Treaties, which are agreed by all the EU countries.

 

Initially, the EU consisted of just six countries: Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom joined in 1973, Greece in 1981, Spain and Portugal in 1986, Austria, Finland and Sweden in 1995. In 2004 the biggest ever enlargement took place with 10 new countries joining.

 

In the early years, much of the co-operation between EU countries was about trade and the economy, but now the EU also deals with many other subjects of direct importance for our everyday life, such as citizens' rights; ensuring freedom, security and justice; job creation; regional development; environmental protection; making globalisation work for everyone.

 

The European Union has delivered half a century of stability, peace and prosperity. It has helped to raise living standards, built a single Europe-wide market, launched the single European currency, the euro, and strengthened Europe's voice in the world.

 

Unity in diversity: Europe is a continent with many different traditions and languages, but also with shared values. The EU defends these values. It fosters co-operation among the peoples of Europe, promoting unity while preserving diversity and ensuring that decisions are taken as close as possible to the citizens.

 

In the increasingly interdependent world of the 21st century, it will be even more necessary for every European citizen to co-operate with people from other countries in a spirit of curiosity, tolerance and solidarity.

 

Some people are essentially federalists and envisage the EU becoming a United States of Europe, others are anti-federalists and want it reduced to a more or less limited free trade agreement.

Uhm... possible. I didn't know there were .eu-ISPs.

I'm with the first group. But I think that would only be a first step towards a united mankind, that has overcome such barriers as nationality, ethnicity and, most importantly, religion. My utopian dream.

I'm not sure who does, but I am sure it's not the Europeans.

[Mark Arbour]

I've made it to 14. Perhaps a more pertinent question:

 

Have you had a sexual encounter with someone from the listed countries? If so, how many countries have you covered (so to speak)?

[BoyNeedsTherapy]

Hmm, well, I've only had sex with an American and of course my bf who's British, but we've had sex in 7 of the 10 places I've visited, does that count?

[NaperVic]

we've had sex in 7 of the 10 places I've visited

Hey Ben, I don't think Mark meant to include 'Phone Sex' in your total

 

Vic

[Mark Arbour]

No phone sex?

 

Guess that makes you a virgin Snow Dog.

Ben - talk about missed opportunities! Let me guess, you were travelling by car from the US to Canada just so you could hit the duty free store, right? Did you get it at both ends? (Hmmmm- that question didn't come out right. ) I mean did you hit the duty free shop leaving the US and then again leaving Canada?

 

Next time, try and stay a little longer, being the fine British subject that you are!

 

As for me, I've been to 12 of the 30 countries listed. No sex with the locals. On two occaisions, I brought my own from home.

 

Hugs,

Conner
