ahh, already mentioned on page one, but i just happen to hate mandatory military service way too much. i hate the fact that i live in southern finland where the winter kind of tries to be a winter but does not quite cut it. where are the freezing winters i was forced to live in as a child?!? i hate the fact that everything is so expensive. i hate so many finnish people for being so damn cold all the time, but hey i guess i am too since i am a finn. i hate the horrible food that is offered in my university in finland. i hate that its just so boring in finland, life doesnt seem even a bit as entertaining as i would want it to be. hard to think of more, since i am now in an other country.
so i will rant about japan, since i study here. i hate that god damn pidgeon that starts making that awful sound every morning next to my window, so that i have to close it and then sweat to death. thats about it.

Canada is the most annoying country i have ever lived in (out of 5). For some reason Canadians have this sick complex about NOT being perceived as American so they totally overreact whenever someone canadian does anything.
If their is any tiny mechanical part made by canadians on anything ever built made some dick face canadian will let you know.
ie. im at the space agency and Nasa just launched the phoenix lander which cost who knows how many billion, and every fucking canadian news channel did these massive stories - not on the lander but on this tiny weather module that was made by canada. HOLY FUCK WAHOO CANADA WEEEEEEEEEE.
Fuck Canada

There were like 10 posts hating on 65 working hrs/week, when the law said "maximum allowed working time". That doesn't mean that every company will force their employees to work 65hrs/week. What the fudge? If there are people willing to work that much then they should be allowed to, instead of having to work 2 jobs, might as well work 12 hours/day and 5 more hours on Saturday. I mean, seriously, who would work that much? Companies would lose employees like mad if they get anywhere over 50 mandatory working hours/week. Even 50 sounds like a lot.
Anywho, Romania: Sucks because of low wages and high costs of all the important stuff (except for internet which is basically free). Rent blows, gas costs like $6/gallon (approximately, it's a bit under $2/liter), and a lot of corruption everywhere (and I do mean everywhere, at all levels, no exceptions). I hate most taxi drivers, I hate summers in Bucharest (I have a photo of a street thermometer indicating 56ºC), I hate rush hour traffic, and most of all I hate the high-school generation, made almost entirely of uneducated fuck-heads with IQs matching their shoe-size.
However, on the contrary to what most people think, we're not starving, we don't have huge "gypsy problems", the educational system is decent if you really want to learn (especially Medicine, and a few other select Universities), the food is good and the girls are awfully hot.

some Jersey specific stuff:
• NJ roadways are a joke • NJ schools are a joke • College costs a million bucks and probably something like 80% of the teachers shouldn't even have a job. I think this probably is a more wide spread issue than just here. • The cost of living is fucking ridiculous here, since I'm just outside of NYC. • NJ car insurance is still, by a very wide margin, the most expensive bullshit in the States.
General country shit:
• The War on Drugs. LOL • We're way too involved in world affairs. • We have way too many ass backwards, redneck racist pigs. • Hockey and soccer get shit tv coverage. • Having only two political parties with power is laughable • The electoral college is a sure-fire way to negate your vote. Thankfully I'm a typically-Democratic voter in a blue state, but I feel bad (...to a degree ) for all the Republicans whose votes don't mean shit here because of the college. We also have a great deal of apathetic assholes. • Health insurance. I don't necessarily think socialized is the answer, but something needs to be fixed. • NCLB and all these other educational mandates suck.

I don't live in NJ, so I can't comment on those, but the country shit (in order) : 1) War on Drugs: AGREE haha 2) We're Way Too Involved in World Affairs: AGREE. We need to worry about ourselves for a while. 3) We have way too many ass backwards, redneck racist pigs. We also have way too many ass-sniffing, self-righteous douschebags, but hey who's counting right? 4) Hockey and Soccer get shit tv coverage: Hockey gets alright coverage. I live in southern NY so I get MSG and whatever is the Devil's hockey channel. It's funny to watch Rangers vs. Devil's games and switch back and forth to hear the bias, but compared to other sports I guess it's lacking. And Soccer gets coverage, don't you remember?! FIFA is a video game you can watch on g4 or w/e now, haha. 5) Having only two political parties with power is laughable. There's nothing in the constitution that says there should be only two parties, but it's our fault, the every day person. We forget that we have a vote that doesn't need to go to a certain party, but we associate our views with one of the two major parties typically. For instance, my economic values are conservative, but my social values are more middle road, borderline liberal. I place myself as a Republican, but not all Republicans feel my views are okay, but where else would I go? I certainly wouldn't consider myself a Democrat, they're like whiny little children when they are losing. 6) The electoral college. I think it's a good idea. It protects the minds of the ignorant from pushing votes. Al Gore could have won in 2000, which I wouldn't have wanted. It sucks because I vote Republican in a highly Democratic state, but if you look at New York more closely, the only Democratic areas are only Long Island (recent change from red to blue), NYC, Southern Westchester, Albany, and Rochester//Buffalo. The rest of the state (which is a lot of area) consists of mostly Republican voters, but the numbers do not accumulate to match the amount of people who live in NYC and Long Island. But even though the electoral college seems "unfair," we still have another branch of government that relies on our votes, the Senate and House. We have divided the political structure in such a way to ensure that the people are getting their say somehow. Trust me the system is safer to have the electoral college. I am happy having just the Senate and the House represent me individually. I used to have a Republican Congresswoman (Sue Kelly), but she got herself involved in some BS in 2006 and lost to John Hall, whatever no use crying over that, not like he's ruined us forever. 7) Health Insurance: I agree it's a joke and I can't provide an answer at this time. 8) Educational Mandates: I agree again.
ADDING:
Anything like Affirmative Action is a load of crap. That's the best solution we could come up with for our 150+ years of torment? Please now look it gets unqualified people into jobs they shouldn't be in, and it's counter-racist against white people and anyone who is qualified for the same job that a minority can get.

It's really a good thing that they're doing this. It provides for a better environment in the end, especially for those who don't smoke.

A nationwide smoking ban for most offices, public locations and pubs/clubs has been in effect in Slovenia since last August. I, as a smoker, welcome it.
