What do you hate about your country?

[altobizzaro]

Australia, Lack of R rating for games, and its too freaking hot I've been working in around 50 degree weather all week FUUUUU (I'm a roof tiler and the tiles on the roof I'm constantly working on add at least 10 degrees to the total temp)
Oh and the kangaroos charge to much to taxi you around in their pouches ,but they can because they hold a monopoly.....

 

[Drummodino]

Also the idea that "America is the best country ever." Poots to that. Poots directly on that. That is just crossing a line of egotism that I am not comfortable with.

I have to say I never really got that. Just because you're the richest doesn't mean you're the best. Hell in a few years China will overtake the U.S in wealth, does that mean they are the best country in the world? I doubt it...

 

[Yoshi-Pop]

At the moment I really hate Republicans.

 

[Audemas]

US:
The mentality that we are the greatest country ever.
Republicans (I personally think that the trickle-down effect is bull shit and the richest people in the US should pay more taxes since they have the extra money.)
Lax gun laws (Seriously, you don't need an Ak-47 with an extended magazine to protect yourself)
Poor education standards
Poor healthcare standards

 

[LandoCristo]

USA.

And really, it depends on what time of day you ask me.

 

[deathstrikesquirrel]

America has no flaws.
It is the perfect place, full of freedom and awesomeness.
If you disagree with me, you are clearly un-American and are most likely a socialist, commie bastard.
If you want to question my intelligence, understand satire before doing so.

Suppose I should lock my doors. Lest Jesus bust in and smack me for being a commie.
I thought it was sarcasm.

Yeah, sadly enough that isn't sarcasm for the right, and just try telling them that Jesus had some socialist messages

 

[Eumersian]

Our education standards. Some of us want to be challenged from time to time. I suppose having lower standards is a good way to weed out the people who wouldn't care in the first place, making it so that the truly motivated longhairs (old timey word!) would appear as better as such. But come on. I hear the German education system is teaching differential calculus in high school. I'm not saying go really far, but just something a little better?

USA, by the way.

 

[Audemas]

I hate how full of morons America is. Just watch any sort of curve when it's snowy. I also hate the management. It's all bipartisan bickering, bullshit, lobbies, and secretly it's all run by the corporations. Shut the fuck up and run the country, will ya?

Lax gun laws (Seriously, you don't need an Ak-47 with an extended magazine to protect yourself)

No, but we don't need big, throaty V8s either. But I don't see you clamoring for a ban on big blocks...


A Glock will do fine for home defense, but that doesn't mean we can't own a Kalashnakov we only shoot at a range because we enjoy shooting it. Guns are as much a hobby as stamp collecting and RC.

First off, I forgot to put down the lack of progress on alternative fuel, thanks for the reminder. Why though would you collect guns? They are weapons with the sole purpose of killing, not hanging in a cabinet. Why can't people collect other things like stamps or RC's?

...I personally think that...the richest people in the US should pay more taxes since they have the extra money.

um, you realize they do, right? thats already the case.

 

[Engarde]

I am from Australia. The things I hate most include

-Everything is poisonous! All the mean animals and insects. Especially freaking redbacks, those buggers are everywhere where I live.

-The heat. Right now I am meeelllllttiiiingg. But that is partly because I live in SA....

Right and I'm saying that's the way it should always be. The richest people in the US shouldn't get a larger tax break, they have more than enough money to pay for it.

 

[Kae]

A shitload of stuff mostly concerning how high taxes are, the fact that the entire system is corrupted and everybody knows but does not seem to care, the fact that crime is getting out of hand completely in some cities (see Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez), etc.
The country is Mexico by the way.

 

[tallpaul02]

Right and I'm saying that's the way it should always be. The richest people in the US shouldn't get a larger tax break, they have more than enough money to pay for it.

ok. understood, but you realize no one is arguing for them to pay less than the "non-rich" (whatever you define that to be), right?

 

[Assassin Xaero]

US... hmm... I know I'm going to miss a bunch of things:
- Psychoreligious nut jobs who try to stick their fingers in everyone else's pie.
- Stupid rednecks and imbeciles that live here.
- The "this is the greatest country on earth" attitude.
- How we have to involve ourselves in everything. Seriously, the last war that we should have been in was WWII, everything since then was just pointless.
- Kinda goes along with the above, but we need to get around to fixing our own problems with our own country first instead of going to help everyone else.

 

[Trogdor1138]

Australia...
not one good fucking politition ,over priced games, stupid people everywere, fuck wits, bogans, racists, old population and pretty much bias from other main countries...

Agreed with this post, pretty much my problems with our country. That and we need better internet. The R rating issue shows how fucking oblivious they are to their citizens. We have a gigantic population of gamers here.

 

[Romidude]

THE. FUCKING. INTERNET.

Right and I'm saying that's the way it should always be. The richest people in the US shouldn't get a larger tax break, they have more than enough money to pay for it.

ok. understood. again, you realize no one is arguing for them to pay less than the "non-rich" (whatever you define that to be), right?

Sure.

 

[Darkauthor81]

At the moment I really hate Republicans.

At the moment? You're a far more forgiving person than I. I've always hated them.

 

[tombman888]

Australia............. the heat.

I seriously don't even feel like moving.Not to mention that the AC's broken and the fan blew up in my roof.
