Things about your country that make you hang your head in shame.

[Borrowed Time]

I live in America. So our last election. That everyone voted for our president based on overblown promises, statements that were contradicted multiple times, and the simple fact that he's black. I mean, really, voting for someone just because of their color? The American people made a huge mistake, and I still don't understand why.

And yes, I know I'm going to get slammed for this. I still stand by it.

My kid's grade school teacher actually told her class that she was voting for him because of his skin color. Yay for America's education system! Wooooo! :sigh:

 

[Bernzz]

Our fucking rating system, and games getting banned.

Australia, btw.

If children are being told that teachers tell you what's right and to believe what they say, and they're doing this? Good luck to your children. Deschooling. Whoo.

How about the utterly disgusting treatment of the English, or people who sound English, as well as the sectarianism. Scotland, by the way.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

The retards in the government.

 

[Vanbael]

in the US:
The *shivers* followers of George W Bush
The Disney Channel, dominated by Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus
The road construction the stimulus bill created.

In England, it's gotta be the BNP.

They went to court the other day to defend themselves over the fact you have to be white and British to be in their party. Not that anyone should even want to be in with that bunch of Nazis.

Their excuse in court (as it always is) is that an organisation called something along the lines of 'Black People in the Police' (seriously it's not that, but it's to do with supporting black people who work within the met) supports black people and they're simply supporting white people. They fail to acknowledge that the group lets anyone of any race and background within the police force join.

They're also a group to help support certain people over all in an organisation, they don't want to lead the police and make sure only black people are allowed in the police force. Unlike the BNP (should the BNP ever manage to get into power) who would deport immigrants and probably lynch any non-Caucasian Brits.

The fact that they're allowed to be a party (freedom of speech doesn't exist when you're racist scum) is appalling.

Read V for Vendetta and you'll see what would happen if the BNP ever got into power.

I've seen the film.

The film's overall meaning is a lot different from the book, the movie is more about a totalitarian society rather then racial bigotry.

Sinn Fein and Bono.

Ok, I might look it up. There's quite a lot about homosexuals in the film though, and I'd eat my own face if the BNP didn't have something against them. Similar sort of discrimination a lot of the time.

Slovakia (if anyone atleast knows where that is )
I'm starting, just as a lot of the people here, to be fed up with our politicians. They are becoming more and more greedy. Building roads and stuff is a good thing, but when about 1/3 (not litteraly, but you've got the picture) of the money invested in it actually ends up in the purse of our prime minister or whosoever it's starting to be pretty annoying. My country has a great potential as a tourist destinantion, but very little money is invested here "because of the financial crysis". Oh yeah, you hear a lot about that in the news nowdays, but the Parliament is not doing much to spare some money here and there, they didn't even lower the wages of high ranking politicians.
And I'm allso getting fed up with everybody here being so xenofobic, I mean, what the hell did the Hungarians really did to us in the last few years? But I guess there are allways going to be idiots like this

 

[UtopiaV1]

I'm from the UK.

We invented concentration camps during the Boer wars.

That is all.

 

[PsychoV3nom]

lol Chretien was awful leader
you know how much money stole right?

 

[happysock]

Political correctness

 

[Toasty]

I'm from the UK.

We invented concentration camps during the Boer wars.

That is all.

1. That and crusades(the religious ones)
2. The useless, time and money wasting governemnt. And political parties that are practically identical in all but name.
3. And our perplexing disgust of the French. why? They arent better than us, but really in no way despicable as people make out.

A list actually.

I live in England so....

The Arch-Bishop of Canterbury.

'Nuff said.

I guess as religious leaders go he's not that bad, most of the time he's just sort of there. But then again as Richard Dawkins pointed out one of the Church of England's masterstrokes was inventing the inoffensive country vicar. I'd generally agree with anything religion related, I find it apalling that as a basically secular nation we hand so much political power to the church.

Indeed, I find the concept of faith schools apalling.

Indeed. Whilst I could fill an entire dissertation with a discussion on why I don't like religion most of my reasons boil down to having it shoved in my face during primary school. In fact I'd probably count the point in year 5 when, having not yet encountered the concept of atheism, I finally figured out that it was possible NOT to believe in God as one of the defining moments of my life.

-Snip-

The same applies to me, I spent everal years of my youth as a zealot of Cristianity, due to my education. But when I was I was around 10/11, I realised that a God dosn't need to exist r you to be happy. So I let the concept of faith behind, and have been happy ever since.
