I'm American, and, hmm, let's see...
Routing and slaughter of Natives; enslavement of black people for approximately 200 years and they're subsequent treatment as second-class citizens for another 100; pummeling the new republic to the south (Mexico) more or less to get at some of their land; violence towards Asian immigrants culminating in the internment of thousands of Japanese civilians in camps; a shitload of the CIA's no-nos, including, but not limited to, destruction of foreign democratic governments for being a little too leftist for their liking, supporting horrid dictatorships because they happened to share our hatred for Communism, MK-ULTRA, and Guantanamo Bay; McCarthyism; Fundamentalists and their Anti-Intellectualism; the Bush years (need I say more?); and discrimination of homosexuals. Oh, and spawning the Westborouh Baptist Church *shudders*.
Other than that, I think we've got a clear slate

We're pretty decent, actually. Very little head-hang-shame here, except that we keep the ridiculous Monarchy around for some reason. They have useless counterparts to everything. House of Commons? Monarchy has the useless Senate. Premiers? Lieutenant Governors. Prime Minister? Governor General. Bah. Completely useless.
Canadian, by the way.

Essentially concentrated donkey piss, but it stands for Victorian Bitter. My first two thoughts were, "How appropriate" then, "Sheesh! It sure does live up to its name (mate)!"AvsJoe said:
...Yeah, I suppose it is a equivalent of a beer.
Don't get me wrong, there is good Australian beer, but I was, as I say, raised on VB. And it was horrible. The abuse that is, but the beer was also bad.
I live in Dubai.
So let's see... Jacking up the price on things that are less expensive even in other Emirates.
Heavy construction everywhere to the extent that a lot of projects remain unfinished and "Frozen".
A very stupid and very unreasonable banning system which has led to the prohibition of GTAIV, and Call of Duty 4 for very stupid reasons.
No such thing as a "Used Game" market here.
Endless censorship of the most inane shit ever, often leading to very hackneyed versions of movies and books.
Inconsistent market where everything has a timed "worth" up to about a year or so, and when it ends, it ends. As a result that's led to games like Halo 3 to essentially become "Dead Products"
Hot Weather. But then again I'm in a city in the middle of the fucking desert, so what do I expect?
Piss Poor Toll Gate System that taxes people whenever they want to go to one major part of the city to another. As a result, that's led to traffic problems that it was meant to solve in the first place.
A fucking Metro system that is only really giving the shaft to businesses in places like Mall of the emirates because they are putting a toll gate for parking that's maximum for 2 hours.
Extremely synthetic look. It feels a bit like plastic. Feels good and looks good, but you can tell of the bat that it isn't natural in anyway at all.

i'm American so......
well considering we have an idiot president (not supposed to be racist)running the country the senate is full of more idiots running the country and keep giving bailout after motherfucking bailout when it didn't work the first 3 times and giving the money to companies that really don't need it. i would have to say that about half of America is full of oblivious retards(counting the government).
EDIT:democracy yeah fucking right more like idiocracy (no pun intended with the movie) but no to be more specific about out government being idiots they are all like a 3 year old retarded handicapped kid that was asked a 12th grade question

America:
1: The government is moronic
2: Where the hell is our money?
3: The people are ignorant to foreign works which are much better than american
4: We rip off other countries
5: We apparently want to go bankrupt in order to instate a new coin o_0?
6: Whites still think their the shit
7: Murders are an everyday occurrence
8: Religious folk have yet to understand that they have no right to control someone else's life in the name of god.
9: Were obsessed with religion
10: We've killed a homosexual university boy for no apparent reason
11: The government screwed with the economy
12: The fact that were a joke to the world when it comes to the movie department
13: The fact that were a joke to the world in the animation department, (face it Japan beats the crap out of Spongebob)
14: The fact that Cartoon Network is now the "CN REAL" Network
15: The fact that cartoons are censored so much here that their will never be another batman the animated series and it is the main reason why America has lost the animation war.
16: The fact that UP!and Incredibles, are the only original works weve had in nearly a century since they weren't based on talking animals which gave motherfucking furries a hard on
17: Jonas BRothers
18: Miley Cyrus
19: American Idol (which is a blatant rip off from other shows)
20: The fact that the american animation geeks will probably spam me defending their incoherent story line 80's cartoons oblivious to the fact that they were made in order to defend themselves against Japan which had made its way into America with the help of AKIRA.

Hoo boy...you are wrong. Memento? Donnie Darko? The Butterfly Effect? Those were unoriginal?raxer92 said:
Australia
That recent business with Indian exchange students. There's been accusations of unis and colleges ripping them off, which I don't know enough about to comment on, as well increased attacks against Indian students. That shits me right off. This is Australia dammit, we're reasonably well off and well educated, why do people still think it's acceptable to pick on minority groups. There's no need for it. Now in India Australia is seen as a racist country.
