What do you hate about your country?

[Drummodino]

There seems to have been a lot of threads about what people like of their/other peoples countries recently, so I thought there should be one about why you hate your country. Personally as an Aussie (and I'm sure this will come up a lot) is the lack of an R18 rating for games. That and also the fact that despite 1 Aus dollar = 1 U.S dollar we still have to pay $100-$120 for a new game, when they only have to pay up to $60.

Other then that though Australia is awesome

Effin taxes! I mean I don't mind paying them but it's a pain in the ass to do so.

US

general insistence upon shortsightedness

...although, now that rockingnic mentioned it, yes my taxes are rather obnoxious...mostly though thats recently been a state annoyance more so than a federal one.

edit - i rather like the idea for the topic

Nothing really.

It's alright.

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

Canada. I like pretty much everything! Other than this stupid internet thing going on, I absolutely love it. The government seems to be fixing that though, so hopefully soon all will be well once again

Why thank you.

 

[Gotham Soul]

The people.

God, I hate the people.

 

[Uncle_Brainhorn]

America.

We have an unsettling amount of stupid people.

 

[Irridium]

US

Our media. And Republicans fighting to make things worse for the people and fighting against new legislation simply because they hate Democrats.

Not saying all Republicans are bad or anything, just the ones in power.

Well we got them striding for power in America (they also make it seem like if their not in power bad things happen), and they way this will probably go it will be Sara Palen for the next GOP canidate for presidency...cause apparently America can't get enough of her.

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...

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.

 

[tallpaul02]

seems like worthless partisanship might be an ironically thread-relevant complaint...

 

[Ftaghn To You Too]

The US.

THE COMMUNIST SOCIALIST NAZI SATANISTS TRYIN' TO DESTRUY CHRIST AN CAPITALISM.

Yeah, I don't like the Far RIGHT. Even the medium right, seeing as their lower taxes are more important to them then education and our 13 trillion debt.

Oh, and the rednecks and jocks. But those are everywhere.

 

[Velvo]

US

The focus of the media's attention on a two sided battle between political left and right instead of on the corruption in both parties and in the system as a whole.

Also the poor educational standards.

Also the poor healthcare standards.

Also the war on drugs.

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.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Canada...

It's fucking cold here. And that potential Internet capping shit...

 

[xuberfail]

New Zealand is a dagger pointed straight at the heart of ... Antarctica.

America: All the damn red lights, I wanna go not stop. Plus all the people that sit at green lights, I mean they can see the light is green right? Did they die from shock that they got a green light?

Oh and education (or lack of) and the politicalization of everyhing. I quote, "It is snowing can global warming be real?" Then they let their pundits talk about nothing for the whole show, doing nothing other than rally the political base.

It is a green light, GREEN MEANS GO!
