Great Britain

Great my arse!!

I see the Americans complaining about Petrol/Diesel prices, ever been to the UK at all? We Pay £1.30 per litre for Petrol. Works out as $11 per gallon. Pretty expensive?

Quite a few foreigners and illegal immigrants are now descending to the UK now, far too many in people’s eyes. They all want come to the UK because we're soft as hell.

"Welcome to the UK, we will provide you accommodation, free health care, a job and free education"

It's a joke!

You seen how many Poles/Lithuanians and other Eastern European people now working in the UK?

No offence guys, but it’s true!

We give asylum to certain people, who then criticise the UK, excuse me? We gave you a better life from the shithole you came from and now your preaching to people about killing British Citizens and criticising the way British People live? Very strange!

Tax and VAT is a major problem here too! It’s ridiculous how much Tax we pay on Clothes, Petrol, Alcohol, Cigarettes and so on.


This isn't a fun rant on your country, this is some racist garbage. Kindly stfu and keep your xenophobic thoughts to yourself. You're like a ten year old child crying that things aren't fair. Go talk to the hundreds of millions of people who's nations were ruined because of the British Empire and give reparations for that, then have your sulk about blah blah free this and that. It's a wonder the UK's never been held accountable for the hundreds of years of open rape, robbery, and barbarism that they've committed. Go open a book and maybe you won't be so angsty about all these perceived wrongs.

This rant about China is fucking ROFL.

p.s. To talk about my own country, In the USA, 80% of families have not bought or read a book in the past year! 1/3rd of all High School students never read another book for the rest of their lives. Of all the kids that go on to college, 43% of them never read a book again for the rest of their lives! Go America! Go intellectuals!!

its a fun rant on your country topic... and what elsi wrote was a fun rant... how in the WORLD was it racist? You speak of how the British Empire was barbaric and inhumane when A) I'm pretty damn sure elsi didnt have shit to do with it and is just having fun and B) hell, as if america had an absolutely clean human rights record. hmmm, native americans anyone? oh yeah and C) I'm also pretty damn sure you weren't at the receiving end of ANY of these attrocities so why the hell complain?

What I love is how everyone in this thread is all "Amen" because people are insulting their own countries. I wonder if it would be the same if people from other countries were saying the same things?

Well, considering it's the Internet, people would probably still say "Amen."

school's expensive and only a small portion of the population can afford to do so. heat of day is killing my skin. sudden tropical rains are so weird. 2nd rate citizen in your own country. fake security checks on your bags everytime you go anywhere. GAS IS EXPENSIVE dependence on foreign oil. largest importer of rice in the world. natural resources are getting lambasted.
werid culture wherein if you work hard or go work to a different country everybody in your clan would depend on you. pseudo conservative beliefs.

We forget that these people are taxpaying residents and contributing towards the services they recieve.


Amen, brother!

Really really pisses me off too when British people generalize foreigners into freeloaders just 'invading' our country. What I find really sad is that a bunch of these pricks leave the UK and go to live in (e.g.) Spain where they act elitist, make no attempt to integrate/learn the language, bitch about the locals while being despised EXACTLY like they were despising foreigners before (albeit this time the hate is justified). I genuinely feel sorry for the countries who have to cope with that. :[

I would rather worry about improving the quality of food, and reduce its health risks than worrying about socialized health care. That would largely solve the main cause of death in the states, which is heart disease. You American dumbasses, if you want to die eating unhealthy food it's your choice.

Things I hate about the US:

Way too many people act like they're enlightened, but in fact they harbor ridiculously close-minded ideas that only come out when they think they're among like-minded people.

A ton of people base their lives on what they see on TV. The shallowness and petty-mindedness that I have to deal with on a regular basis sickens me.

Comformity is encouraged, especially in the workplace.

The culture that says Obesity is a disease, and that the fatasses can't help themselves. Everywhere I go, some fat cow is riding around on a motorized cart, being helped out of the store by some unlucky employee. They're fucking slobs, and they're catered to. If we didn't support these fatasses so much, they'd be forced to lose some weight just so that they could walk around the grocery store enough to buy the massive quantities of food it takes to feed them.

The people that still claim that America was founded by religious zealots, and so religion should still be included in our government and school systems.

The subculture of "gangsta" dumbasses. It's not cool to be an uneducated, mouth-breathing moron with 8 kids that you don't support, you fucking retards. It's also not cool to dress in clothes that look like shit that cost hundreds of dollars, and carry around that debt on a credit card that you default on. I hope you accidentally shoot yourself in the balls with your "gat" when you're running down the street, holding up your pants with one hand. BTW, this isn't racially motivated, as I hate all "gangsta" idiots equally. In fact, the suburb versions of these morons are worse, as they don't have any economic reason to be that way.

The fact that people allow themselves to be scared into supporting things like the "Patriot Act".

The fact that people complain about gas prices, all the while driving their Suburban / Expedition to work... By themselves. Buy a sensible car and gas prices wouldn't affect you 1/10th as much you idiots.

I could go on... But I won't.

i fucking hate this country so much, i am so eager to leave and be somewhere else.

Oh and me on Mexico. Yes I'm Mexican.

Truly hate those mother fucking people who put buckets on the street so you can't park and you have to pay them to move them or else you are going to have to find another spot. The assholes who wave a piece of cloth telling you how to pull out of your parking spot and expecting themselves to get paid for it. How your windshields gets washed at every red light you come to. How the cops do absolutely nothing about these people. How the cops do absolutely nothing in general except rip you off themselves. How when people see your license plate being from the America and then having 20 people come up to you offering you a $2 USD piece of gum which doesn't fucking cost $2 USD. How everyone everywhere tries to rip you off everywhere you go.

How my dad was stopped for a "regular fucking inspection" seeing that the license plate was from America TWICE. And how the police checked his wallet both times. Too bad he only had a 20 dollar american bill on him you dip shits my mom was carrying the rest of the money. Oh and lastly how when your about to cross the border your asked about 50 times how much money your carrying into the country by everyone not just including customs, but from the police, to the mother fucking security guards. Only $200 good sir. FUCK YOU! Sigh, this very fun. ^^

I love my country, and I love living here, especially when I hear how things are outside of the country, but there's still plenty I dislike, mostly the people.

The school I go to is the best public school in the state (Ohio), yet it's in like the worst public school district. The country in general fucks the education system horribly. Kids are educated to be stupid slobs so that the media is successful, people care about celebrities, everyone is a bunch of ignorant xenophobic socially backwards animals. I don't do anything or put any effort into school, while being at a school ranked #276 in the whole country, and I get top grades in the "hardest" classes, and everyone tells me how great and smart I am, and it's only because everyone is fucking stupid. But it's not really their fault, because they're being bred to be stupid. Education is shifting from being a system to force Americans to compete and hopefully be superior (educationally) to people around the world (namely, smarter than the soviets) to being a fucking day-care.

I'm not allowed to think in terms of stereotypes or be racist or sexist at all even when I see these stereotypes overwhelmingly on a daily basis. My school district is 80% "black" and 20% "white" even though, everyone who's not black (asians, hispanics, which apparently covers everyone not "black" or "white") is also part of "white". People don't just think it's cool to be dumb, it really is cool to be stupid and be "gangsta". Half of fucking bnet even calls people their "niggas" and talks in butchered "ghetto" english, and half of fucking bnet isn't even just americans wtf. The majority of the people I see at school on a daily basis are aggressive black men/boys and shrieking black girls/women. I wish they sounded like chimps, they'd be easier to listen to. Most of the white people are worse, in that they actually copy this stupid behavior because it's "cool".
My school is so ahead of the rest of the district, that they've decided to level out the playing field so we don't feel too elitist. They do this by dragging my school down to fail with the rest of the schools so no one looks "bad". It's fucking bullshit. The No Child Left Behind Act fucking butchered education. All it does is take kids who don't want to succeed, and put them in "good" schools to try and help them. But since they've been socially taught to not learn or succeed, all they do is bring the whole school down.

I'm supposed to compete with the rest of the world, but my country is socially teaching all kids to be stupid, so the media and education caters to stupid people. We really aren't taught to learn a foreign language. We have mandatory foreign language classes, but most of the time you really aren't expected to learn the language, just pass the class. The fact that you can pass a language class without learning the language alone is ridiculous.

Most of the country it seems like are fundamentalist conservative right wing morons who are xenophobic, homophobic, classist, and afraid of technology and progress. This results in the rest of the world out-competing us in every area. We've thrown aside the things that made us the most powerful country under this vague notion that we'll just always be the best, despite that we're slipping behind the world.

Since I'm American, any argument I ever make online is dismissed because I'm American. I'm not allowed to point out people wrong in my country, because it's not socially acceptable to be intelligent. I'm not allowed to point out people wrong outside of my country, because I'm an American slob.

I'm not allowed to be racist or nationalist at all because I'm American, but then people treat me like I'm racist and nationalist because I'm from America. There's this Catch 22, where the rest of the world won't let America not be ignornant fuckheads, but expects us not to be anyway, so we're just universally hated.

People inside the country whine that the government sucks, but they don't try to do anything about it. They complain how the whole politics system sucks, and protest it by not getting involved. People refuse to vote because there isn't a candidate specifically tailored to their own beliefs. You're not allowed to be in the middle, you have to be either left or right, and if you're not you're just hated by everyone. It's always left vs right, but both suck. The right are the fucking backwards ones, who ruin the country yet think they rule the world. They edge the country towards totalitarianism every chance they get. They're the people who read 1984, and say, Hey, this is a pretty good idea! Then there's the left, who read 1984 and say Man, we gotta protest this! Lets protest it by doing NOTHING, that'll show 'em!
The whole Clinton vs Obama thing was ridiculous. They were basically the same candidate ideologically, yet people were pitting them against eachother like it was Bush vs Gore again. The people who supported Obama hated Clinton just for being Clinton, the same assbackwards way the Republicans hate Clinton for being Clinton. There's no difference between Republicans and Democrats, they're the same idiots just preaching the other side. Obama supporters are cultist like Ron Paul supporters are.

The country's hipocrisy rivals 1984's DoubleThink. Republicans yell at Democrats for doing exactly what the Republicans are doing. Democrats let themselves get fucked in the ass, and when they get some power they either shoot themselves in the foot, or do nothing at all, the great wait-it-out tactic lol.

People whine about the economy when they're still in fucking middle class despite the economy going to shit. They bawwwwwwww about gas being so high, but all that does is mean they have to remove luxury expenses. The lower class really is going to shit, whether they drive or not, because the price of food, electricity, gas (for house heating), and all appliances and services are going up, without wages going up, which only further hurts the entire economy. So people decide to counter this by whining, and doing nothing else. Instead of finding a way to fix the problem technologically, they just blame people for the problem.

You're so socially expected to do and have things that you're a complete enigma when you don't want them.

My biggest complaint is the technology thing. People are afraid of all forms of technology they don't already own, it's ridiculous. People look down on the sciences, even though the sciences is what brought them all of their creature comforts.

People are so un-laid-back it's retarded. Everyone is busy with their life-drama, if they're not busy watching soap-operas on tv. Reality shows are fucking retarded. Most movies coming out fucking suck too.

America is just flawed by being socially backwards, and by educating the new generations to be socially backwards. We throw out everything that ever made us great, and then try to bring the world down around us. Look at all the shitty things happening in other countries as result of the US? All this terrorism scare shit? And we're in a war and losing? We're the fucking United States who fought back the nazi regime to Berlin and we can't occupy an oil field in the middle of a desert? And the people we're occupying for some strange reason don't want to be occupied but we can't imagine why... Doesn't everyone like being occupied by Americans? Look at Israel, fucking up shit in Lebanon. Since when has Israel had the privillege to fuck up a war and come out fine? It used to be, if Israel lost a war they'd lose their country, so they didn't lose wars, and didn't start fights they didn't need or couldn't finish, but the US has made them so lazy they start random fights now wtf.

The United States just isn't capable of living not in a state of Cold War yet I guess. Everyone who was raised and educated in the Cold War is educating their children like it's the Cold War, except without any pressure to learn maths and sciences. Which just leaves everyone regressive and backwards about the Cold War present -.-

Then the rest of the world talks to us like we're crap and wonders why we don't like them, but still expects us to do shit for them, then complains we're too involved in the rest of the world's affairs.

Our politics in general is hillarious. McCain, a tortured war hero is condoning torture, lol. Kerry gets flamed for being a veteran by a draft dodger. Obama is called a terrorist, wtf. The right flames McCain the whole election, and when he wins the nomination he's suddenly their hero. Clinton has the nomination in the bag, then manages to do everything wrong assuming she's still won the election, and doesn't figure out she might lose and restructures her campaign until it's too late. McCain pushes and supports everything Bush made and did, but people prefer him because he's not black and isn't a woman. Then liberals start gathering around Ron Paul as their hero, even when he openly denounces the theories of evolution. Clinton supporters are such blind idiots they try and threaten Obama supporters by saying they'll vote for McCain over Obama when it makes no sense to do so, especially when Obama ideologically is basically just a more charismatic Clinton. People vote or vote against Obama because he's black, Clinton because she's a woman, why does shit like that even matter in the 21st century, in the land of oppourtunities and freedom?

People worship violence, drugs, alcohol, hate education, it's silly lol.


If you don't mind racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, a fear of progress and a tendacy towards social and technological regression, the United States is great! Atleast we accept our capitalism and don't try and call it socialism.


Wow, fucking epic and agree 1,000%.
If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.

Er, what's the deal with all this book stuff. Everyone is saying people are retarded cuz they don't read books. I don't get it, do books magically make you intelligent and media-literate? Do I need more books? What will happen if I don't read books, will I get scurvee? I mean, I read books, but just for fun. What's a book that will make me learn a bunch of cool words that make me look intelligent on forums? Will harry potter do? I've read those. Do dragon ball books count? What will reading a book teach me that watching Dancing with the Stars won't? What language should I read these books in? Are there any books about books? Maybe a "Books for idiots"? .. ... ...

I don't think they're referring to the fact that people don't read books, but mostly the mentality that people seem to have that reading books makes you a nerd, queer, geek, or whatever (I've actually had some people openly mock me when they saw me reading aSoIaF...cunts).
