What do you hate about your country?

[Drummodino]

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.

No offense dude, but that joke doesn't work, THIS many times. I think you should let it go. If you love it, set it free, right?
And Thank God, you left out that "Fuck yeah, America" Video this time. That was fucking annoying :S
OT: What do i hate about my country? Do Escapist comments have word limits? I guess I'll find out!
Actually let me give you the skinny: No pre-marital Sex....

...and that's not even the worst.

It's that bad

Where do you live???

That we've yet to build and army of zombie robots! WE NEED DEM DURN ZOMBIE ROBOTS! How else will Canada assert it's authority over the rest of the world?! WE MUST BRING THE GLORY OF MAPLE SYRUP TO THE SAVAGE HEATHENS! \m/

I thought you put microchips in our maple leaves... I was looking forward to a non-hostile takeover by our secret Canadian overlords.

That was the INITIAL plan...however, things went awry. We didn't count on the British anti-infiltration-leaf-eating ninja caterpillar taskforce! *Shakes fist at a Union Jack*

...Or AILENCT....Those sly bastards...

-The political correctness
-Our leftist-controlled media
-That my goverment has forsaken pragmatism for ideological masturbation

First, I think people who resort to mugging will still try to mug you regardless if they think you're holding a weapon or not.

I doubt it. There's a reason they use guns: because they know you don't have one. They know they can threaten you.

Second, I'm not for getting rid of guns completely, I'm for people not having access to assault rifles or high caliber weapons. If a person has a handgun and uses it for protection, sure why not.

I think we can agree on this. Hunting weapons and small caliber handguns should be allowed.

Now if the handgun has an extended magazine and hollow point rounds, that's where I draw the line.

Hollow points are safer, actually. Not for the person getting shot, of course, but for everyone else.

Interesting fact! There is no discernable connection between rates of violent crime and the rarity of concealed carry permits! Some studies conducted have found that more concealed guns means less violent crime, and others have found the opposite, while still more have found no correlation at all! Just thought I'd put that out there!

Curse those limey Brits! Ruining everything for everyone until the U.S. took their job, and now they are getting back at us for it!

-Priests here needs to have every say in every law passed. No surprise there, for the fact that we are the only Christian country in the whole South East Asia.

-The justice system sucks, cases tend to go cold/forgotten over time and even then the criminal might escape justice even though it has strong evidence against him. (Example: Maguindanao Massacre)

-TV shows here uses the same cliches over and over again.

-Most Dangerous country for journalists in the world. (2nd being Iraq, how did that happen?)

-The women here are most of the time stereotyped as maids in other countries.

-Oh yeah majority of the politicians here are corrupt, 85% to exact.

-Our army leaders plunder the allocated money for the soldiers to themselves.

-Most of us see the Americans as gods, I'm not one of them.

I could go on all a day, but the reply box will not contain it all.

So what country this is? It's the crappiest/most corrupt/stay away from it country in the whole South-East Asia. The Philippines.

It still boggles me why you guys wanted to live here. Oh yeah I forgot, you came for the exotic women.

You know once I finish college, I'll get a job in other countries not just in this shithole, I don't have a future here.

More Words

Oh... I did not know that. Maybe it depends on the community? Whatever the case, I feel like this sort of renders both points moot.

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...

What about Kevin Rudd, he was awesome. But yeah I agree with all the other stuff.

 

[Saulkar]

Being Canadian it is how we are pushovers when it comes to defending our interests. We have this internet cap crap going on. Plus we do not have a military, war is bad but for some people it is not the size of your personality and offers but the size of your guns that prevents them fom making you their enemy. Lastly and people keep hating me for saying this but we do not feature ourselves enough in our own home grown videogames, hmph.

Every man for himself attitude in capitalism/education/medicine.

Posted a reply to a comment I didn't realize was on the first page. Oops

Anyway, I hate the way that the rest of the world visualizes us (Australia) and that we give them reason for doing so.

How so? If you are talking about the crocodile hunter's accent then I think it is one of the top 3 most badass voices alongside the Terminator and Lemmy Killmister.

He got overthrown and now is the foreign affairs dude, basically so he is out of the country most of the time and can't get in the way.

Besides what the OP said there are very little things to not be proud of as an Australian. I love this country.

Woot go Australia

 

[DSQ]

Nothing really.

It's alright.

Suppose it sucks that the conservatives are in power, but it could be worse.

(UK)

Pretty much this.

The only other thing i hate about the uk is the weather but that is a petty annoyance comparied to what people in war zones have to go though.

The UK is quite excepting of other cultures when it wants to be.

Geert Willders, the fact that they want to fine the university for slow students and how hard it is to become friends with Dutch people if you have no connection with them.

I have a couple good friends in the Philipines, makes me sad to know that they live along side dickwad circomstances like the ones you put down.

USA

#1 thing I hate.
-----------------
I hate the arrogant, obnoxious and disgusting gall of our leaders as a collective whole who act as if the earth is planet America and every other country that exists is some how bound to do what this country's leaders demand.

I really wish our allies like UK, Germany, Japan, and the rest would grow a spine and call our leadership out like Hugo Chavez has. Not that I have any love for Hugo, but he IS right and respectably has the balls to say so and stand by those words. Unlike our allies who routinely do call us out, but then retract everything an hour later because they are USA ass kissing suck-ups who don't want to piss off the egotistical power & control hungry donkey c--ks that are our leadership.


#2 thing I hate:
-----------------
That NEITHER party in our farce of a democratic society gives a damn about what the citizens in this country want or say and only care about their party, personal agendas and ensuring the ultra uber rich get even richer DIRECTLY at the cost of everyone else.


I'll stop here because I could easily post about another 99999998 things and I don't think The Escapist's webserver has enough storage.

Gangsta wannabes. Seriously even in Australia we have stupid white kids who wear baggy clothes, wear the hat backwards and talk shit to everyone just because they listen to Eminem...Only to see them cower when someone decides they're sick of their shit
