Dont you love your country!
Ugh. This thread is not for you to brag about your love for your country but to complain about the stupid laws and such about your country. For example where I am there is now a law against hoods due to hoodlums destroying the whole downtown district in the past months. But I really couldnt give a damn and passed by the cops without a care wearing the hood. While it was a nice sunny day.
|
Yes I do. I even joined the military.
|
I don't mind the UK, but there are certain things that bug me - like I have to pay for my vital medication, yet other parts of the country get them free - no fair, I say, but there. Other than some cruddy legislation, I love my country!
|
Yeah, same here, too. Some of the laws and politicians are darned and rotten, but most of it all is good. I love Finnish nature, I love the Finnish traditions and the Finnish way of never having to use small talk anywhere, and I love Finnish chocolate above everything.
Finnish literature sucks, though. Why is it that books translated to Finnish are so much better? Why can't Finnish people write decent fantasy or sci-fi? All they can do are detective stories and angsty philosophy. I'm planning to change that, though *smirk* |
America is sooo overrated. Because it's a super country, everyone is trying to get here.
It's almost madness here. One can fit Europe into America and only 1/4 is filled. I'll post more once I find other ways to describe America. Don't worry, there's some positive as well~ |

Portugal rocks because I'm part of it.

I love it but only as much as it loves me. Maybe when I will be able to marry who ever I want wherever in the country I wan then I will love it more.
|
You guys please read the first post next time. I used it as a sarcastic line for i hate some stuff in it. Jeez and people tell me i need to read it sometimes. >_<
|
The UK is okay. I really hate the crimes because it make the country look bad and it scared me. nobody can go out freely anymore because everyone is scared of being stabbed. Summer isn't summer for teenagers anymore D:
But, I do like the sophistication of the country and the fact that it had a prde in it's nation. |

Well... if u live in london the likeabiliity of getting stabbed is like 95% :D But i dont so its ok for me , i just hate all the pikeys |
I didn't even understand your first post, Mitchman...
Um. Anyways, I like Sweden. It's really clean. And pretty green with fields and lots of forests. Swedes are silly and relatively quiet. We have no pollution, no earthquakes or volcanoes. We have high taxes, but that's good because we don't have to pay extra to go to the hospital or school. Heh. I like Sweden. Some laws are stupid, perhaps. But we have to protect privacy and human rights. Like the "allemansrätten". Anyone can go anywhere and do anything as long as they don't disturb or upset anybody else. Swedish manners are to disturb people you don't know as little as possible. We don't have many beggars or people sleeping out in the streets, since there's this welfare system that takes money from taxes and gives it to the poor. This is a pretty stupid thing, sometimes, since these people getting the welfare-money don't always use it wisely and get a job. They just sorta live off the system. |

We have a few... silly laws and legislations over here in the UK. Like how MPs can claim thousands of pounds on petty expenses or on second homes. Though it is fairly amusing when they get found out. |
No, I don't.
America is going down the toilet, and our Government is a major factor to blame. |

• • • Law-wise, the United States is... well... whatever. It's the whole "national pride" that I have a problem with. I don't mind a little patriotism, but to the point of singing songs about it all the time? No. I don't really see what I have to be "proud" of; I was simply born here. Mitchman (Todoroki?), please, don't get so angry over these things. It's not beneficial to the conversation - being calm can get a point across a lot better. This isn't meant to flame you, just a suggestion. |
There's nothing wrong with Australia. I can live with all laws and have no problem with them.
|
I dislike the amount of Red tape in British Law.
For example, recently, there was a housefire and a woman and a child were trapped inside. Several neighbours attempted to go in to help, but were stopped by Police because of Health and Safety laws. The neighbours were forced to stand by and do nothing while people in the house burned to death. |
It's funny how children in the US are imbued with thoughts of "America's pwnsomeness"
(I grew up in the Philippines, and moved a bit...so I like the diverse cultures of the world...not the fringe ones, the acceptable ones.) So yeah....I like looking at the world as a whole rather than the small space of your home country. ^_^ America's fine...but if you look at my political posts, you'll notice I criticize the government a bit, hoping it can do better. Kinda like Europe... As for the Philippines...It's good, but I hate the Government's blatant corruption (It's a developing country so it's "normal") I'll leave the worrying to my home-countrymen since I already have enough problems with the US Government/policies. =/ Off topic:I found out about this new awesome AH book called Without Warning in which most of the US, Mexico, and half of Canada's population is suddenly turned into goop by a weird phenomena...Right before the 2003 Iraqi War. =O It then talks about how the world copes...without a US. ;_; So read it before wondering how "awesome" the world will be without the US. |
I LOVE MY COUNTRY<3
Nah, I really do. I don't have any problems with American laws or the government. If you seriously just hate living in America, then really, maybe you should move elsewhere. Cause obviously being in a country where you can do mostly anything without worrying if you'll spend your life in jail for doing it, not being controlled by a dictator, and not having to be afraid for your life due to civil war sure is tough, huh? I won't say I agree with everything that goes on, but come on... if you live in America, you are luckier than a lot of the world. You aren't living in a mud hut or dying from a disease that a doctor can fix, but the problem is that there is no doctor. You aren't stuck in an overpopulated city worrying about sanitation or even how you'll get your next meal. You aren't being kidnapped as a child and being forced to fight in a war. So get over it if you can't wear your hood in town. Hoods are overrated anyways. |
I agree one hundred percent with that hideous strength.
|
Eh, America is alright. Depending on how you look at it. There are many perspectives one can look through when analyzing the quality of this country.
