I'm in Canada, where we are supposedly 'better' than America and we value our natural beauty.
Yet we still condone some really appalling environmental policies and we still produce a massive amount of garbage and pollution. Just because America is often worse, with slightly bigger, scarier numbers, that doesn't excuse us. Canadians are so incredibly stuck up.
We have a fucking leaf on our flag; you'd think we'd value nature a little more!

I thought Australia and New Zealand were fairly close, geologically. How can their climates be that different?
Canada's government is very, very slow. There are benefits to this, so I'm not too pissed.
Hmmm... probably our M-game laws. Can't buy one until you're 17. It's not even debated, just accepted. But the moment some state tries it, the entire gaming community get together and fight for freedom and shit.

For a 5000+ post count, I'd think you'd have better typing. Seriously, punctuation bro. Use it.Worgen said:
OT: Thought of another thing I don't like about Canada: It's too fucking huge.
American, totally agree with the politician hate. Not looking forward to my older years at the rate things are going right now.
Personally I hate the guilt that is placed on Americans for their nationality. Americans are just way more likely to air their dirty laundry than other countries so we look a lot worse. In Japan for instance, the reason that there are no murders is that some police officers just put things down as accidents when they clearly are not.
There are a lot of things I don't like about the US but I don't think that should mean that I need to feel responsible for other people's behavior.

I don't really hate much about my country. The government is stupid sometimes but fair and I don't see much of the racism and stuff everyone else complains about. I just happy we haven't started any wars and have cool wildlife.
America, I seriously wonder if moving to Canada some day is a viable option for me. I mean job-wise I want to be a game designer, places like Montreal and Toronto seem to be hot spots for indies, but is it a realistic to think that a kid from the middle of nowhere can make it? Ah, what was the topic again? Oh yeah, America, damn right-wing politicians and such...

Anything that has to do with politics really but mostly Immigration
The policy seems to be one more couldn't hurt, right? Anyone not granted stay here and it's f***ing brought up in media.
I don't consider it news when we occasionally say: Sorry, half of your country is already staying here and you are known to have terrorist connections, please go home.
The reason it's news? His damn wife and son was let in 2 years ago.
While on the subject, the news media is a goddamn joke. /angry rant

There is a small puddle of water that is only about 1600km (1000miles) between both nations. New Zealand is also closer to the South Pole, is a smaller landmass, and is away from places like the Coral Sea where the warm waters which help heat up parts of Australia.DarkenedWolfEye said:
AND that is the simple answer to it, since I'm sure someone will give the more detailed version of things.
As to my own country, I hate the idiots who unquestionaly take the crap they hear on the news (more so talk back radio) as nothing but the truth. Then again, it might be the fact that I simply hate Alan Jones which is clouding my view on that.
The epic level of knee-jerk reactions among the people, and the fact that our politicians' resolve tends to buckle under those reactions like tinfoil under a cannonball impact. Most prominent one of recent times would be the ratified plan to scrap all nuclear power plants after the disaster in Japan. Our country's situated in a geologically stable region, for God's sake!!!
