What do you hate about your country?

[MrTub]

Regardless of whether you consider Sverigedemokraterna racist or not, you can't hide from the fact that their huge increase in voters is due to them giving people with "questionable" beliefs a safe place of sorts. I definitely feel racial tension brewing, but maybe I just live in the wrong place (Borås).

It might also be cause every other party is so afraid of being labeled racist so they do not dare to do anything about taking in over 100k people a year, which I think is quite crazy that we're taking in more refuges then USA when they have a population of over 300mil when we have around 9mil..

There's snow here. Snow = hard to walk. Combine the snow with cold and ice, and you have the perfect recipe for frustration when you're trying to run to the bus.

Here in the U.S, I hate the way that most people take on a greedy, "Survival of the fittest" idealogical standpoint on life. A good example of this is the way that the budget for one Super Bowl commercial is more then the budget for my school this year.

 

[Totenkopf]

The exaggerated political correctness and anti-patriotism,
the modern degeneration,
the incompetent and corrupt democracy,
the left & the right extremists (seriously, but them all in a bag and burn it, you can't hurt an innocent),
and the demonisation of it's own soldiers (present and past) and militarism.

In Ireland, the only thing that I really hate is the scummy accent some people from Dublin have.(I'm from Dublin).That and what are not supposed to be pronounced without the last T

 

[TzarChasm]

Add to my list: the Southern accent. Ah, why not just add the whole of Southern "culture" to my list while I'm at it?

England - Constant shitty weather

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I'm Canadian. and What I hate about my country will probably sound pretty typical for us.

The Modsbanned WEATHER.

Summer is great, but short, Fall is amazing, but short, and winter is long, cold, and terrible.
Seriously, screw our long freezing winters.

 

[niloofar]

Iran...
let me see,where do I start?

1)idiot politicians that have kidnapped the country for the past 32 years and turned a civilized modern coutry to one of the worst in the world

2)the fact that the government stole our election and ruined the little hope we had for reform

3)our terrible reputation and the fact that everyone in the world hates us

4)air polution in Tehran,traffic and angry people who are all on the edge

5)terrible economy and therefore dishonesty and more and more fraud as the result

6)lack of individual feedom like drinking and dancing being "illegal" (though we do all that behind the closed doors and in our private parties)

7)religion interfering in everything

8)no respect for the human rights from the government

9)the fact that my country could have been a great tourism spot(6000 years of civilization and many different climates from deserts to ski resorts) but basically has zero tourists b/c the regime is stupid

10)the fact that everyone is now trying to leave and people's relationships are ruined

well that's about the summary.saying that,in Iran being born in a fine family can change a lot of things.unlike the government,many people are civilized and modern and your sorrounding hugely determines how your life will be. you could live a very similar lifestyle to europeans (or other places in the world) depending on your surroundings,and if you have money you can overall be happy with it and your "selected" surroundings and ignore other people's problems,but I personally find it hard to ignore despite the fact that I'm a lucky person myslef.
phew...needed to get that off my chest,thanks for this thread.

It's alright, nothing really to complain about.
Except for the weather, there is ice everywhere!

I hate the amount of ungrateful fucktards who don't appreciate what they've been given in life by simply being born in one of the top #5 countries in the world in all measurements of education, healthcare, political environment, economic dynamism, environmental concern, and all the other happy dwarves.
And instead opt to spend their days bitching and moaning about the weather like spoiled little children.

Grow a sack, and pick up a large carton of dignity next time you're in the store, because apparently you're all out.

Jag känner mig träffad

But I don't think we are among the top 5 in environmental concern thanks to our current government who seems more interested in increasing the economical differences.

Enough said.

 

[MetalDooley]

Ireland

-Corrupt/inept politicians.There's an election in a couple of weeks and for the first time in my life I'm considering not voting because the opposition are just as bad as the current government
-Despite being in deep economic shit we are still one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in
-Racism towards immigrants despite the fact that Irish people have emigrated to virtually every country in the world
-Blasphemy laws were reintroduced
-People who claim to support the IRA/hate the English
-Jedward

Even despite that we're still in the top 5, if not #1.
Most agree that we're in a strong position to become the world's first oil-free economy. Although it would most certainly be better without the moderates in charge.

The UK- that theres people here who watch such crap as "My Big Gypsy Wedding" and read the such bogroll as The Sun and Daily Mail (and believe what they read in them).

you odnt mind everything on your island is designed to kill you?

OT: I dont like that Americans have that superiority complex. Granted, when you're a superpower you get it someitmes, and sometimes the US does mean well and shit just goes south. Still, it would be nice to have Americans get some humility.

... and eat a salad once in a while. I mean, when

What do i hate about America jesus that is a long list well first would have to be the ignorance that has become commonplace among the populace also the general thinking that americans are better than everyone it gets annoying to hear the same comment about arabs and commies over and over again seriously this country needs to take a good look at itself and get a major overhaul. I hate the stupidity that has begun to run rampant among the popular culture in this country, seriously who in gods name likes the show jersey shore. Also way people act in this country they are so self rightous that they cant seem to get how obnoxious they are i mean take one look at one of those people wearing their pants down to their ankles and their hats sideways and sitting on the top of their head just take one look at one of those douchebags and you will see why I hate america.
