What do you Love and Hate about your country?

[Forest]

Wouldn't say I love or hate much. I do enjoy the freedoms, and lifestyle that I've been able to live over here.
On the other hand, I generally dislike the fact that so many people all over the world are constantly exploited by businesses and interests from here, in order to sustain the prior.

How is Canada portrayed?
I've never heard anything about it as a country.. All I'm aware of is that it is often mistaken for the US..

I'm not entirely sure, really. I don't follow them. They are NATO so they accompany us and others in the treaty on certain duties.

I mean government wise, but like social-like-wise, I'd say self explanatory Canada is full of maple-syrup-soaked bears wearing plaid shirts and drinking weak beer. Canada is as cold and wintry as the U.K. is wet and moldy. Canada is 'nice, isn't it.'. And everyone in the U.K. has a cousin who lives there, but they can never tell you exactly where.

Their sports I follow, or at least Lacrosse because it's my favorite sport although started at a late age. Their Hockey team is really good I hear too.

Are you kidding? Gordon Ramsay is hilarious.

US Hell's Kitchen hasn't been good since season 5-6, and even then season 4 was better than those. Kitchen Nightmares is decent, but I haven't seen that show in some time.

Where you from North / South ?
And not everything sucks. People do give a shit about other people. Although a lot of shit does actually suck. Competiton is intense. I am actually going through a phase of depression due to it....

south.
kerala! and what happened?

Master chef US is more about abusing people than cooking

I don't watch it. I just like seeing Gordon Ramsay get angry at people and insulting them.

Just make sure you watch him in extreme moderation if you ever decide to do so, his yelling gets old, fast.

kerala! and what happened?

Well I am stuck at a dead end job and have been trying to clear entrance exams for Masters from past 3-4 years. Can't seem to get through them.

Kerala. Gods own country. Its very beautiful. Spent 10 days there in December 2008. Munnar and the house boat are legendary.

What do u do ?

Australia?

Love : Everything
Hate : Too much freedom

 

[~WastelandSociety~]

still better than bush..

Obama and Bush are the same,both bad and doesn't stand true.
Hell almost all of the presidents are blood related to King John,even Obama . I won't be surprised if voting doesn't matter due to the fact that our presidents are just hand picked by blood line.<_<

 

[Caoimhe]

I love our beautiful greenery, but I hate Harper.

 

[VongolaLegacy]

I like my country because of the mentality of the people even if we are called cold and rough..
What is also cool about Germany that we havnt any real natural disasters



The decreasing birthrate... its pretty scary to think that in like 20 years every third german is over..hmm 50.. Also the past two World Wars which were pretty much the faults of Germany.
I dont like the prejudices about germans being still nazis..

 

[Flakez]

Love? Hardly anything.

Hate? Don't get me started.

 

[Nathan]

Australia's alright. Not much to like here, except for Pyrmont and AAPES [Australian Academy of Parkour Exercise Self-Defence].

Bad thing is the kids are stations, stabbing people. That isn't too great.

Didn't even realize you were Australian. :| Melbourne is alright.

Love:

This video will explain it.

Hate: Certain people that give our country a bad name, and spiders.

Australia?

Love : Everything
Hate : Too much freedom

Freedom how so?

 

[Azu]

I wonder is anything left to love about my country...

Let me guess... a Balkan country?

That's just... ignorant. I'm sorry but I feel offended that you give into those stereotypes when a non-ignorant person knows they aren't true.

- Canada is as cold as every neighbouring area of the US. Michigan is as cold as Ontario if not more, New York/Buffalo experiences the same amount of snowfall, and the only place colder in Canada is to the west, whereas British Columbia never gets snow and is typically warm all the time like Florida is gratified for.

- Maple syrup? Old age misconception for whatever reason. We eat what you eat for breakfast for whatever that's worth.

- Weak beer? HAHA. Ten bucks the average Canadian could drink the average American through the table. I know I could drink you through it.

- Plaid shirts? Our fashion comes from everywhere... Plaid is like 0.001 percentile of the things that are worn here.

- And yes, we pride ourselves on hockey much so, because we're so much better than everyone else at it.

US

Love about it:
Geographical and cultural diversity - lots of things to do, see, and learn

Ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity


Hate about it:
Even though our politicians are elected, the will of the majority of the people isn't always followed in big decisions, especially for matters involving foreign policy

Even though equal rights are publicly embraced and legislated in many cases, the spirit of them isn't embraced by a lot of people and many forms of "-isms" still exist

We keep kicking our economic problems to future generations instead of dealing with them now

 

[CornyRainbow]

At this point I'm confused if you are ranting about America or others.
Bold is true though, I hate that about America as well... How can you have "allies" if you assist practically everyone?

Though I can easily disagree with the first paragraph(Above bold), it may be them, but in turn they have an impact on others.. Not exactly a small impact, though gay marriage is ok, and abortion.

I dont even know at that point, I was bout to call everyone out ?

 

[Jɑégar]

I really do not like Obama. He will be gone soon though, paving the way for a better leader (I Hope)
