- Absurd level of corruption in politics. Everyone complains about that, but the same people complaining are the ones cutting lines, buying pirate products, stealing cable and internet, cheating on tests, offering bribes to cancel traffic infractions, parking on sidewalks, fakeing IDs to get discounts (students get 50% off on moviews, shows and sports tickets, so several people make fake student IDs) etc. Everyone is trying to be "smarter" than everyone else. - Bureaucracy in public administration and legal system. - High taxes on foreign hi-tech products, including games. - Rapid growing of fervorous protestant religion, lead by manipulative bastards who exploits the poor and ignorant ("donate or go to Hell / lose your job / get sick / watch your family crumble", without exageration). I have nothing against religion, but watching reverends on TV extorting money makes me sick. The worse is, they are transforming the schem in an organized political force. - Shitty high-school system, culminating on shitty private universities popping everywhere. | ||

They're not against MASS immigration. They don't want ANY new immigrants. And it's not "some of them". It's LOTS of them. | ||

I'm interested in reading more about this political "issue" in Sweden right now. What is the name of the political party that some of you think is racist? | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Democrats EDIT: I would like for someone to try to argue against them not being racist if they think Wikipedia gives a fair picture of this party. EDIT: People are especially worried about this party because Sweden now probably has a "minority parliament" where neither the right nor left block has the majority, because no side wants to work together with Sverigedemokraterna (SD). Therefore, SD are weighers and have much more political power than their 5,7% indicates. | ||

they have a lot of the same points conserning immigration. they also use the freedom of speech to insult a complete group of people (ia the muslims). i would call it racist yes, although a large group in the netherlands wouldn't agree with me because many people voted for him. these political parties don't have solutions. they only make the problems bigger i think | ||

What kind of things should I be aware of or look out for if I were to go to live there for 2++ weeks? Well people won't pay you much attention if you're white, maybe you'll get some awkward looks if you're from a different race. If you don't speak the language you're gonna have some trouble if you have to deal with any administration. If you're gonna travel around the country you have to prepare you self by translating the locations you want to go in cyrilic so you can show the note to bus/train station workers, because in general you're gonna have a tough time because of the lack of english signs on trains and bus stations (You won't have trouble like this in the grocery or other stores you go, because every body who works there speaks a little english at least.). It's very important that you are always vigilant for any gipsies (or roma as they like to call them now) because you're wallet and personal possesions will never be safe if there is any of them around. Traveling around in cities you will have to check the prices on taxi's because there are alot of fake taxi's that will charge you atleast 3x the price a normal taxi would. You can consider this as a part of this thread, because these are things I hate about my country. Also sorry for any mistakes, because I'm a little drunk while writing this. | ||

I can think of some fully grown Americans who would beg differ and probably every slightly angsty high school student who "just have a feeling things aren't right." I'm not reading through this whole thread. This is just my chance to vent to one of the poor bastards who happened to jump onto this boat at page one. My apologies in advance.

In the southern half of Maryland to be precise; And I'll advise watching how you throw the word "redneck" around if you've the misfortune to ever cross me. I'm equidistant from "the sticks" and "the ghettos" and exposed and open to many viewpoints. You yuppy punks like to insult the "rednecks" just as much as they find your generation backward and confusing. You work against each other perfectly. I live in the USA and can confidently state that election results are meaningless and mentalities like the above are 100% of our county's problem. Anybody in the USA who still thinks that either side (or even the majority of the third parties) are working for the interests of the people is a fool. We've been a kleptocracy for longer than myself or the poster I'm quoting have been alive. Keep complaining about the other half of the voters while tricking yourself into believing that you don't share more ideals than the few you're so sure you disagree upon. Neither side is working for you and they haven't been since before you could vote. To hell with McCain too but he's just an image of what you think you don't like. Obama is a figurehead too. If he wanted to impress me he'd have closed Gitmo by now and overturned the Patriot Act. Fact is no president in their right mind, on either side, is going to ever relinquish any newfound power. Keep fighting for whatever it is you think you're fighting for Dunce-o-crat, Libertardian; Whatever viewpoint it is you subscribe to and believe to be correct. Edit: Seems I kept quoting this half-wit as saying "redneck" when they actually wrote "retarded hicks." That is a lot less pleasant so I'll just leave my reply as it is. User was warned for this post Edit Deuce: Warned in the "Bash Your Own Country" thread for speaking out against the senseless fools on each side of the political spectrum (which is what I find most wrong with this country)? Or was it because my advice might have come across as a threat (it was, hatemongering disgusts me and isn't limited to "retarded hicks.")? It would have been nice if the PM included a reason. Anyhoo; Stay classy TL! Edit Tres: Nix the second edit. Warned for arguing (had to reread). I suppose some of that does qualify as "arguing" or would if FroZZor decided to retaliate. That isn't my goal and I've no intent to take my reply any farther beyond what is written above. It *is* what I find wrong and I was only making an example of them. When you start lumping people into neat little categories it makes them easier to disregard as human beings with individual ideals and opinions. Hate is hate, no arguments. | ||

church has still too much to say, but we're starting to clear away from it it's retarded how we can unite only when something tragic happens, it's really bullshit, like our president died in a plane crash, nobody i fucking knew liked that guy and he pretty much made our country look like a bunch of homophobic anti-german retards, but still you got people crying and shit, though this reflects my general idea on tragedies; MORE PEOPLE DIE OF CANCER AND CAR ACCIDENTS EACH DAY SO GET THE FUCK OVER IT, you asshole we're way too much hold up on the past and can't get away from it, it's so hard to change anything in this country, where others would pull out of a crysis, we just fucking stagnate and no big, needed changes are done oh and people hate communism, like if there's one thing they'd want multilated, burned and dead, it's the time between 1945 to 1989, even though we as a country were still the same people, doing our shit, working, having fun, now people just deny that, and you get people like Jaruzelsky, who's a really old man, being dragged into courts and stalked by idiots that don't know fucking shit about why he put martial law into motion, they just hate because of propaganda | ||
