Romania Country Quiz

what did it use to be?

Ask nicely and (maybe) you shall receive.

Gunshot still doesn't work. I'd go so far as to argue that "firing squad" is an embellishment. Not that I think that guy deserved freedom, but being taken out back and shot by a soldier (or maybe two, depending on the account), and then shot be several others after passing away is not "execution by firing squad."

Also, the fertility rate question has some problems. Check out any of these sources: Statista, World Population Review, World Bank, Eurostat, Statistic Times, even the CIA World factbook that is quoted in another comment has Japan lower than Romania (https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/total-fertility-rate/country-comparison) as of the time of this comment (January 24 2021). Seeing as how the quiz is featured now, and this has been pointed out several times already as an inaccuracy, this should be addressed.

This time around I didn't get it because I couldn't come up with the right spelling. I still think Nadia should be enough.

That doesn't make sense. Vatican's birth rate should be 0.

or just N/A. Though this is clearer when using fertility rates than birth rates.

Fertility rate is the amount of children a woman, at birth, is expected to produce over her lifetime. No women are born in the Vatican. The Vatican's only maternity hospital is in Rome.

I'm not sure but I don't think any of them were married.

What difference does it make to you? Why are you offended by humans being attracted to other humans? Literally THE most natural, normal thing in the world. The entire reason that all of us exist and the one thing that our DNA has evolved toward reinforcing over billions of years. Seriously what could have left you so traumatized that you think this is something offensive or unseemly? And, while I am a nomad, not a tourist, there's also absolutely nothing wrong with going somewhere with the aim of meeting women (or men). For whatever reason you desire. Do you only travel to uninhabited places? What dreary, boring, anti-social holidays you must have. For me, I move around and travel for culture (created by people), food (made by people), history (left behind by people), museums (curated by people), and relationships both platonic and intimate (also with people). Sometimes for nature. But mostly I stick to populated areas, because I like interacting with the locals

@kalbahamut it can come across like that's the only thing you have to say about a country - nothing about the culture, history, food, atmosphere or people, only how physically attractive the women are.

while i understand that might not be your intention, after reading quite a few of these comments on country quizzes someone could get the impression you're overgeneralising or objectifying half the population of an entire country and making that your one verdict on the entire nation.

It only comes across that way to people who are themselves so perverse that they hyper-focus on this one thing. I notice this often. It doesn't matter how much or how often one mentions the other things. Whether it's the only thing you mention, or one among 100 things, 1) there's still nothing wrong with mentioning it, and 2) regardless, people will react negatively when you do, often ignoring everything else you said to express (ostensibly) their disgust and moral outrage, and (implicitly) their own internalized trauma at having their own nature shamed and stigmatized from birth onward.

The original comment is not overgeneralizing. Read it. It's not even a generalization. It's a statement of fact. An observation. If I say Paris is home to many of the best restaurants in France, this is not a generalization. It doesn't mean you can't find bad restaurants in Paris. I'm also not objectifying anyone or rendering verdicts on nations. You're using moralist clichés that don't apply.
