YES. God, I hate that about the U.S. Also, the ever increasing tuition rates, the ridiculous amounts of taxation in pretty much everything they can contrive and the staggering number of racist bastards trying to humbly convert you to Catholicism.
Well, actually it's more common that people in the US will try to convert you to one form of protestantism or another than Catholicism. Evangelical movements are scary too.
I don't mind the taxation so much myself. We have a bunch of social policies (though not enough good ones if you ask me) and the people have to pay for it. The best places to live in the world have relatively high tax rates, and that's why.
But yes, tuition SUCKS. Fortunately me mum works at the university I attend, so I get CRAZY discounts.
England - Chavs and ASBO culture. I would love to have kids one day, but I am so scared that even with the best parenting all they need is one bad friend and then they become hoody wearing louts hanging about intimidating old people. So very sad for a once great country.
The fact that the US HAS TO meddle in the affairs of other countries. WE can't just let them prosper or perish on their own. We gotta stick our noses in and play big brother.
US (home country): huge portions of excessively greasy / salty / mediocre food
Japan (residing in): the weather
Winter: bitterly cold
Spring: Hope you like rain
Summer: Hope you like more rain, 35C / 95F temps, & 90% humidity all day & all night
Fall: typhoons
Norway:
Idiot politicians who cant make decisions and always come up with idiotic propositions, like thinking about making so that every single time a cookie wishes to do something on your pc you have to click yes, do they even fucking know a little bit about how the Internet works? That way you have to click yes tenths of times every time you visit a god damn web page.
And americanized, stupid, spoiled, self centered, ignorant youth.
Thats mostly a problem in southern Norway though.
Northern Norway it is the problem of being under prioritized from the south, but its still better than living amongst the idiots.
PEOPLE I PRESENT TO YOU THE CHAV!!! Scum of society, they are a pack animal, often not travelling alone. There are very territorial and will attack when a passing creature feels threatened. Attacking randomly for no known reason, other then the fabled "cos I felt like it" line some police officers have heard uttered from their lips. The only known way to irradicate this vile plague of creatures is to lure them to a gas chamber with the smell of fish and chips and beer, with a further cup of tea outside of the gas chamber to filter out the confused gentleman, actually deemed endangered by the natural interesting stereotype organisation, otherwise known as NISO. However, no matter how many you get rid of, they multiply in such numbers, moreso then rabbits in spring. They are a menace, they are deadly and the UK would be so much better off without them...seriously, WHY DO WE LET THEM EXIST!?!
How about the fact that the workers of Australia are the only ones who keep it going & yet are the majorly sodomised people in the country. The harder we work, the more money we earn, the more we're taxed. The bogans & dole bludgers live of our tax money & its encouraged by the polititions who live like roman emperors of the working classes tax dollars. Oh yeah & we cant have a pension anymore yet polititions can & an exhorbitent one at that.
Universities make it compulsory for students to take up an extra elective course which is irrelevent to the chosen course but means more money for the uni.
Doctors prescribe the wrong medication after the first appointment to support the chemists & so you have to pay for a second visit.
Service stations are phasing out regular petrol for this crap with 10% ethanol because it burns up quicker so you have to fill up more often than usual. Plus it dilutes your fuel tank with water which rusts it (& not under waranty) & dries & cracks rubber seals making you pay for repairs & new parts.
And most of all, the Bogans. Their kids will have taken up smoking, covered themselves in tats, grown a mullet or rats tail, gotten drunk & knocked up, & swearing back at you before they finish pre-school. Aussie pride my arse, theres nothing left to be proud of.
I hate the nauseating patriotism (some) Australians have. I don't have a problem with being proud of your country but Australia takes it overboard and it drives me insane.
The obviously bleached-blonde thickheads that plague the internet with their pretentious and pornographic like blogs, supposedly giving "advice" to their readers on how to diet/look the most plastic/fake and taking half-naked pictures of themselves and complaining about how they're fat(while you can see their ribs).
United Kingdom.
The whole country is stupid, backwards, lazy, inefficient, over-regulated, backwards, under-invested and slow.
Srsly, if you are thinking of emigrating here, dont. Go to Canada or australia. It is a dump here, an overpriced, xenophobic, crime-ridden dump
-Priests here needs to have every say in every law passed. No surprise there, for the fact that we are the only Christian country in the whole South East Asia.
-The justice system sucks, cases tend to go cold/forgotten over time and even then the criminal might escape justice even though it has strong evidence against him. (Example: Maguindanao Massacre)
-TV shows here uses the same cliches over and over again.
-Most Dangerous country for journalists in the world. (2nd being Iraq, how did that happen?)
-The women here are most of the time stereotyped as maids in other countries.
-Oh yeah majority of the politicians here are corrupt, 85% to exact.
-Our army leaders plunder the allocated money for the soldiers to themselves.
-Most of us see the Americans as gods, I'm not one of them.
I could go on all a day, but the reply box will not contain it all.
So what country this is? It's the crappiest/most corrupt/stay away from it country in the whole South-East Asia. The Philippines.
It still boggles me why you guys wanted to live here. Oh yeah I forgot, you came for the exotic women.
You know once I finish college, I'll get a job in other countries not just in this shithole, I don't have a future here.
The Philippines still has some good things about it, the problem is my country is like Star Wars as in like Yatzhee said in his review of The Force Unleashed 2. "the shit of Star Wars outweighs the good" and that's my country the good things here are always outweighed by the bad things.
The EDL. They're nothing but a bunch of ignorant morons who's lives are so pathetic that they have only one thing they can identify themselves with; their country. As a result they have become bigoted, hateful and violent because they have nothing else in their lives so they feel like they have to justify themselves through said acts.
These ill-educated scum buckets put all the rest of the U.K. to shame by making us seem like we're a bunch of xenophobic knobwads. I'll agree to the knobwad thing, but we're not all racist pigs like these cancerous lumps of stupid.
There morons are completely pathetic and deserve neither rights nor sympathy.
Like all religions I don't think that Islam is right since most of its claims have also been countered by science, but I'm not going to go out of my way to make that the single point in my existence. Screw the EDL and anyone who agrees with them.
Germany:
I have the RIGHT to , so i HAVE to do it.
As soon as people turn 40 here, they spend their evenings studying House rules, civil law, The rules of houses and Towns surrounding them and every other useful tool, that can be utilized to annoy everybody else or possible just kills any kind of fun or excitemend.
For example. Some douche dug out an old law here in town, that forbids that he had to "suffer" under more than 5 days with more than 50 decibels (!!!!) of "noise"
Thats the "noise" of a modern refrigerator, very slight rain, or people talking quietly on the other side of the road
So that the city had to cancell 3 great festivals permanently, just because that guy wants to jack off to the sound of crying children that want their medieval festival, balloon festival and park festival back.
i want the medieval festival back too...
Well at least the one i am working for is still around. Until the next idiot, living nearer at the site, claims the saim "rights".
I should actually get out there because that damn church lets me suffer at 52 sundays a year. Some people want to sleep when theyre still drunk!
Additional to annoying old(er) people. We got a majority of citicens that a) Hate children b) hate young people in general c) hate people that point out injustice d) just hate everything that is different to them
Seriously in the city of Hamburg about a 100 people sued the city, because they opened a kindergarden in their street and by the "infernal noise" produced there lowering the worth of their property. And won. The place is now allowed to have 8-10 children, always inside, with closed windows. And is probably shut down by now because they cant afford it with so few customers.
I worked at a youth centre until 2 years ago, it was closed because directly next to it a building with appartements for wealthy elderly people was built.
A group of citizens wanted to cancell a anti-neonazi demonstration, not because they are brown to their blood, i at least could understand their point then, no just because it jams 2 roads for 3 hours and they might want to use them just in that time.
for point D) just go into a pub and sit down next to a table with older people after their 3rd beer. The new environment laws are idiotic and just here to torture THEM, the tweaks in social system are just made to take THEIR money, the city repairs streets only to annoy THEM with the noise, the 35 children in their grandkids class are just antisocial and all criminal because the one teacher they have for 5-6 hours a day is lazy.
