My country:New Zealand

Why NZ sux:

The youth want thrills crazy ones as well e.g:
*experimenting drugs,
*drink driving cuz its 'cool',
*joining gangs,
*changing ur exhaust pipe on a '86 toyota camry and making huge noises is 'cool',
*text bullying,
retarded politicians trying to start industry in a country on the ass of the world thats only good cuz of its green environment,
*Maori culture is great
*Criticising Americans for being retards without looking at ourselves
*Deserted the Australians when the Japs were landing in the first few minutes, whilst still celebrating ANZAC every year.
*a population of 3million total in NZ and theres a dedicated section in the news for Gangs and Crime.
*Powercuts very frequently even though we're an island
*Government has no controls/say over water, electricity, internet and other basic needs companies
*Our broadband = 85kb/s speed max and it charges up to 800 dollars a month
*our water bills will increase by 100% each year for 5 years reason being the water company simply saying" we want to make more money"
government can do jack shit
*High tax rates for everyone so government can give unemployed money
*Poor islanders can come to NZ for free
*Europeans/Asians must invest up to $100,000 in NZ economy to stay
*Government hires prostitutes for prisoners
*Prison life is better than most people outside prisons lives
*Polynesians commiting shit load of crimes and government gives them money because they are unemployed youths.
*NCEA
(which is a highschool exam system where if you score between 0- 20 credits you get a fail and no specific mark and 5 free credits because 'you tried hard' and anything above that gets no credits but you get a 'pass'.
This is the only system availible in most schools and it is not an accepted internation exam so you have to study in NZ)
*We have 30-40 year old slackers fighting over jobs at McDonalds/petrol stations with the youth.
*Prostitution is legal
*Weed is legal
*Special association to protect prostitutes rights
*Legalising Dropping out in the 5th form
*in the 5 form an average school has up to 400 students
*in the 6 the average is 100
*Farking 7 year olds thinking its cool to be black and gangsta saying 'wot motherfucka' or ' sup my brotha from anotha motha'
*Retarded teachers in most schools that tell you that "you can't expect me to know everything! Remember im teaching you off the book!" after you ask them about basic integers
*Good teacher = a teacher who doesnt teach
*You have to play rugby if your man or your a pussy
*Rugby > Academics, no one gives a shit if you get a MA but if you scored a try people buy you a beer
*Pedolphiles complaining theres a open list of people who have a history of sexual crimes
*The country is crap like shit and the government wants independence from British colony, without considering our Gas, Electric, Water, Inter companies are all British owned and how being independence does us any good.
*People overseas own 30% of our farms
*Our roads are filled with 2nd hand Japanese imports that fail the exhaust let out test in Japan
*Takes 8 months (no exaggeration) for the government to lengthen a short road by half a metre
*Tons of road tax, but no roads being built
*Fuel tax of 5c per litre of fuel including diesel driving whatever trades we have offshore
*Endless amounts of retarded people trying to talk like borat "verli niceee, i am borerat nicee to meeet you"
*National IQ average = 67 before the mass asian immigration
*Stupid kids/youths/adults thinking NZ is just as advanced as USA and thinks japan/China/korea/russia are like a 3rd world countries
*the future generations resolution to all political problems such iraq,terrorism,illegal immigrants,bird flu, george bush ,north koreaetc their answer is: "Nuclear bomb them!" said with utmost seriousness and feeling very smart afterwards without thinking that we are Nuclear free, and too behind for nuclear shit.
*our towns have retarded nicknames e.g Auckland the city of sails, and we havent won the americas cup in how long?

Whats good about NZ:

*We have trees
*We're Nuke free

To British People: you lot like to come NZ a lot, well I hope you think twice after reading this.

USA:

Bad:
Everything

Good:
Nothing

Well i have a strong feelin tis thread is gonna b LOCKED soon

dont see why something bout your own country will be locked

U.S.A

Good:............I got nothing.


Bad:EVERYTHING

I don't believe it should be locked either, but it really depends on how people put forth their opinions/views. If they do it with maturity like XuChu then I doubt it would be, if it goes along the lines of MrJoey (for once dissapointed in the lack of any effort in his post and how it says essentially nothing except he has a general disliking for America) or a his country her country flame war then yes it'll get locked.

What I'm saying is it's up to all of us to keep it from being locked...unless that's to hard to do.

America

good: fast food
bad: fast food

aus:

good:....cant think of anything.

bad: most of teh white people in my year are racist.

Born and raised in America. The country is full of stupid Farking retards, the government at all levels has retarded people that are concerned only with their image, and their money. **** USA, I wanna leave this shitty country one day.

Usa

Good: ask cin he knows

Bad: umm government officials

c'mon people more detail please... what your saying is too vague.
list em...

Almost got a list from MrJoey ^.^ but then it just ended up him venting on the internet :/

EDIT: Most people don't really realize how good a place is until you see how bad everywhere else is. No matter where you'll go you there will be problems. there is no perfect place in this world. Someday maybe you'll realize that ^.^ Grass always looks greener on the other side

ye i know but its good to compare

sry im gonna lock this. for one, this topic doesnt seem to have the effect you
wanted it to have. second, im afraid this will end up personal.
