You know, just to provide a little balance for Supreme marvel's What's your favourite thing/s about your country? thread 8-P
Can't say I'm crazy about the cost of living in England.
What do you most dislike about your country?
I'll agree with you on that. It is expensive to live here. In Liverpool, I can't stand Scallies/Chavs.
" the retarded government and everything is super fecking expensive petrol especially "If this is about England. Than I agree on this also.
Corruption, poverty, school, the medical system, stupid lying politicians, assholes, religion and the list goes on.

politicians in ireland are siphoning millions from the state by claiming various things such as extra housing(then righting them out)
extra pensions for previous positions held(even they are working)
and owning fleets of cars living the high life
A Government that ignores it's very Constitution.......
A President who won't celebrate the National Day of Prayer.
US. We don't have any old buildings. It sounds stupid, but I used to live in a building in Europe that was built in the mid-eighteenth century, and it wasn't even viewed as old. It was older than my country and it wasn't viewed as old. And people were living in it. Over here, most buildings are from the sixties or seventies. I hate architecture from that period.
extremely high impost taxes for video-games
no prison for life
edit: and the possibility of violent games being banned here because of a stupid law (i hope it never happens though)

I don't hate him. I think he's a lot more entertaining than most TV series these days.

I stayed at a friend's house in Manchester once that was built in the1600's. The outside was very clean and well kept up...and fixtures on the inside of the house were more modern than those found in most homes in America that the time.

U.S.
The fact that race is still and issue.
The fact that American means Caucasian, and everybody else has to be marked with a dash(i.e. black people aren't "Americans", but "African-Americans, or latinos have to be "Hispanic-Americans", etc.) We should all be considered "Americans" not "dash Americans"
The lack of a middle ground in politics
The fact that politicians argue over issues that affect everyone else but them
The fact that politicians are absurdly rich(Seriously should but them in a 3rd world country for a week, and see how fast an anti-poverty bill is passed)
The fact that every politician basically says the same thing, but really dont give a crap about the American people
The fact that 90% of the population are complete and total idiots
The fact that that 90% is allowed to vote
The general amount of racist( in all races)
Extremists(on both the left and the right)
The fact that America thinks its poo doesn't stink
I could go one forever
damm taxes and construction, here in Toronto we don't have any summer season due to construction, highways and roads get closed so ppl end up taking alternative routes and this creates crazy traffic, now it may not be as bad as some places but still, it drives me insane with road rage
Hmm. It's kind of cool to see that most people's issues are the same. It makes me feel closer to you guys in other countries.
My biggest pet peeve here in the US is how our population seems to just have given up. We just take what the government hands us, and the few that speak out go about it in a ridiculous and ineffective fashion.
@biggkeem89: Awesome post.
Another thing that bugs me is how older generations to my own can some times be pretty damn racist. It doesn't seem to happen very much with my generation, I guess because we've grown up with multiculturalism to a fuller extent. But when I was dealing with customers at work during the last election I honestly lost count over the amount of older people who when discussing the election would say something along the lines of "I'd only vote BNP, get all these fucking Pakies out."
Thing is, half the time they'd have a last name that betrayed German/ Irish/ Polish ancestry etc. Still, thankfully these people apparently don't vote
philippines
corruption i hope who ever wins in the presidential elections will make a change (they are still checking the votes)
poverty i feel really sad about those who are really less fortunate
LETS FACE IT IN EVERY THING YOU LOVE THERE IS SOMETIMES LITTLE BIT OF IMPERFECTION BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM ACTUAL LOVE IN COUPLES IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY YOU WILL THINK THAT PERSON IS PERFECT IN YOUR EYES LIKE ME I HAVE FELT THAT
like what xmenfallen said, Corruption is the still the main problem of our country.. but there is still hope specially new officials are being elected..
the others are..
01. Poverty - yes.. also one of my country's downfall..
02. Bad Cultural Habits
03. IMSCF Syndrome of some filipinos
04. The Traffic
Our neighbors to the south are kind of like the fat bully with mommy issues and an imaginary friend from grade school. So that's always awkward. Also, our government can only be described as a retarded clusterf*ck. We have to put up with American ignorance (ie. They think we live in igloos, they think mounties dress like that on a regular basis,the think we all have a wacky newfoundland accent, they think we all speak french, they think it is always cold here...etc) Our healthcare system SUCKS.
There's quite a long list....
1.Political Parties
2.Sub-par educational system
3.Disregard of neighborhoods with a ethnic majority
4.The Police Department & the Legal System
5.Tax breaks for corperations
6.The Government allowing corporations to just about anything they want and then bailing them out to continue doing shady business.
7.News Media becoming commercialized
8.Mediocrity being the new Talented
9.Racism in authoritative parts of government (Local govt,Federal Govt,Police dept,court system etc.)
10.Hypocricy of our Democratic form of govt.B#tching about one party abusing or disregarding the constitution and then doing the same exact thing.
11.The Tea Party Movement
12.The general lack of parenting
13.Our Overated Military
14.The War on Terror
15.Our Arrogance.Poking fun or belittling other countries doing better than us.
