Not a problem in Victoria, its about 50% white, 30% asian, and 20% other, so race doesn't come up too much, at least in my experience.Jack Macaque said:

Even though we're one of the richest contries, and we pay minimum 40% in taxes. (The rich pays up to 60%)
We still have minus in our budget, because of extremely dumb decisions made by the army, and other public servies. (They bought new helicopters, and planes for a billion dollars, which wasn't the plan at all)
Were did all the freaking tax money go dumb ****'s.

And the fact that the majority if Kiwis have the "she'll be right" attitude until something entirely foreseeable and preventable goes horribly wrong, then it becomes the absolute fucking over-the-top-baby-bathwater-nannystate-kneejerk overreaction from Nam.
That, and the cheapest 20 pack you can buy is over 10$. 50c a smoke.
I gotta quit.
The least you can get away with paying in Denmark is 40% of your income, and thats minimum (the max is 60%) so you have nothing to complain about. =XJack Macaque said:
The Tories tripling our higher education prices, Oh yeah thanks for that you posh cunts, just cos they never had to pay their own way, they can't understand it when other people do

While Democracy is good for the people, we can't get anything due to lack of bi-partisanship. I guess what I hate most is almost every politician in DC. It takes a special kind of asshole to go there and think they can make a difference by talking to a room full of arrogant, unwavering fools all day.

The fact that everyone hates each other for being Prodestant/Catholic dispite few of them actually believing in god. :|

The fact that we voted a racist/nationalistic party into a position of power.
How fear of being connected to said party makes criticism of organized religion (or rather, if Islam is brought up as an example) something forbidden.
I also loathe the current government, but compared to nationalism it's been downgraded from hate

We've got all sorts of psychopaths and our politicians still blame video games and TV for violence.
Also, my country tries to teach blind nationalism from a young age.

In Australia? THIS FUCKING YEARLY HEATWAVE. Apart from the fact that my school chooses a period of time in which 40+ degree days are commonplace to run compulsory sporting events, just keeping our poor ferret cool is proving a vastly difficult task.
Oh, and our treatment of refugees. And lack of R rating for videogames. And the rampant homophobia.
Our expensive games, our delayed game releases/poor old game availability (if it isn't on Ebay or in EB games, you ain't getting the PAL Shadow of the Colossus), our government's love affair with America, our lack of Retro arcades.
I'll add more as I think of it.

- Having gloomy weather 70% of the year.
- The widespread depresssion and general downbeat attitude.
-The whininess of it's people
- The taxes
-The newfangled racism and immigration problems.
Other than that it's pretty good.

What the hell is with the government? Honestly, it's like they're a separate nation that lords over the real Australia. Major disconnect...they're not real Australians at all. Also they're absolutely horrible at keeping up with the rest of the world (hell, they're going backwards).
The handy 200-500% mark-up on all prices, and the complaints that people are shopping overseas to get around it. These companies have spent too long with no competition, and they're doing everything they can to get that advantage back. F**k this economy!
Also the heat. My God, the heat!

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.

That argument could just as easily go both ways. Why collect stamps? They were invented for proof of having being posted. Besides, stamps aren't cool... guns are!Audemas said:

Pretty much ditto what everybody else has said. Everything that isn't made here is waaaaay overpriced for how much it costs to import for yourself, government continuing to try and treat everybody like children (Internet censorship in a free country? Gimme a goddamn break.)

...The Nanny State. I can understand why my tax money is spent on the military or education, but why am I paying to have messages on the telly saying "Eat no more than a few grams of salt a day"? Or a bunch of plasticine stick figures eating fruit? I'll eat whatever I fucking well like, thanks.
Same as how you can't smoke in pubs- I don't smoke, but what was wrong with the usual house rules? If another customer asks you to put it out, do so or feel the landlord's wrath. Is it so vastly different in the cities, do you get stabbed or something?
