So do you love or hate the place you're from? Boil it down to as little as you want or rant away.

Well, London can be a bit shit, but it's better than a lot of other places, both around the world and in England, so I guess it's ok.
I enjoy Ontario, but we're given a bad name (apparently) by a select few from Toronto, which, as far as cities go, kicks ass.
Aside from the price of housing, that is, which is horrendously high.
Frankly, I love every province and think one of the great things about this country is the regional diversity.

I absolutely hate California. The air is practically toxic in Los Angeles, everything costs too much, animals have more rights than humans, and weapons laws are absolutely insane. Not to mention the school system is a total load of ass and matches.
I hate my country with a fucking passion.
Here's a list of reasons as to why I hate it:
- the school system is fucked beyond belief. You're forced to stay in school up until the 12th grade and now they're thinking of making it obligatory to go to college;
- our government is more corrupt than a rotten apple;
- the people living here are hateful religious morons. You heard about fundamentalist Christians in America? Multiply that by a 1000 and you get the population of this country. It's not commom to find an actual intelligent person walking on the streets (Oh, the irony);
- you can't find a decent job no matter how hard you try;
- we have gypsies, the Romanian version uneducated assholes walking the streets and thinking they're tough because they're part of a gang;
- pollution. Honestly, the air here is unbreathable;
- electronics are horrendously overpriced.

I'm from Alabama and I generally hate it( except for Huntsville) for many reasons
1. Alabama football
2. People from the north think we are all inbred hilbillies
3. People still carry rebel flags
4. the KKK still exists
5. lack of jobs in the town I live in

I love Rutland, it's one of the few places in the country that I really feel relaxed.
We have -
- Re-introduced Red Kites to the area
- An awesome reservoir and nature reserve
- Birds of prey coming out of our ears
And pretty much every road is like this

Helsingland, Sweden.
Pros: Pretty ladies, clean air, quiet, great forests and lots of lakes. Easy to find a secluded place to go skinny-dippin'(put pretty ladies in that equation, I rest my case). Weather is great during the spring/summer for most parts. Great parties
Cons: Dull as SHIT unless you got your free time sorted. Dull night-life. A whole lot of drugs going on in the "major cities". With "major cities" I mean two- three street towns with between 4000 to 7000 people (edit: forgot the rising unemployment that forces alot of us to move :/)
And winter is CRAP. Oh, god I hate the shit winter, the whole 5 months of it!

I live in Western Kentucky but I've lived all over the USA. In my travels I've learned that the only thing that changes when you move is the scenery. From big cities to small, everyone complains of having nothing to do and everyone would rather stay at home.
I'm in a pleasant place now but I'll probably move to a slightly bigger city in the future, if just for the food options. I'm serious about my food.

Littleton, Colorado is a mixed bag.
Good: Good scenery in the area I live, plenty of outdoorsy things to do, pretty nice and safe neighborhoods
Cons: Every other building is a Mexican restaurant, slight risk of running into a wild animal at night, winter lasts waaaaaay too long (It seems like we never really get spring) and most of all YES I KNOW ABOUT COLUMBINE!!! Every time I bring this up on the internet the discussion always goes straight to Columbine! Sheesh, how about we talk about some other famous thing associated with the town? For instance, one of South Park's creators is from around here, how about we talk about that instead?

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Pros: Great weather during the summer and a number of places in the city and around it to do various summer activities and a few nature reserves/museums/entertainment centres such as the Fort Whyte Centre and Oak Hammock Marsh.
Cons: Winter, winter, did I mention winter? It's freezing most of the time and there's usually about a foot of snow on the ground.

The New Forest UK.
Pros: Large Forest in which to play. Not a huge crime rate. No real Chav (like super violent). And Close enough to Southampton to be able to Enjoy the City once in a while.
Cons: Lots of posers trying to be cool like the 'City Kids'. Not the best mobile or broadband coverage. VERY CONSERVATIVE!
Still all in all. I do like the living in the New Forrest.

I hate New York because we have to take state tests and a big ones in high school called Regents.
I came from some place in London... I keep on forgetting whereabouts, but it's all the same to me. I don't really have much of an opinion on it though.
What's important is he place I'm living now, which would be Hereford, England.
This place is a dump, seriously. The Council's a mess, and the people are horrible. School system is terrible as well.

I really have no emotions about it. I can't see my neighbors, that's cool. The education system is crap, that sucks. It's just... meh.
