Although I strongly disagree with the first statement listed above, metalgearsolid seems to have supported his point nicely with his next ....uh, whatever this may qualify as:

"too many taxes and their are always thinking of new taxes"

wha?!?!??

I'm quite indifferent to nations as a whole - how can I have a general feeling for so many different places with so little in common (i.e. a country with more than a couple of cities)?

there are many things i am disappointed/really hate about the country i live in, but one of the biggest areas i am ultra concerned about is adults not understanding the concept that: ab + ac = a(b+c)

Canadians are retarded...

They want increased funding for services without increased taxes.

We want smaller classroom sizes
We want reduced wait times
We want lower traffic congestion

and most importantly we want you to give us all the above using the exact same amount of money you had last year. Maybe the 10,000 new doctors, nurses, teachers and bus drivers will work for free! Problem solved! I know we'll raid the PSAC pension and last year's surplus so we can fake it for a year anyway...

or maybe the people who moved to the city in the last year will provide a disproportionate amount of new tax to change these fundamental service ratios of teacher to student and doctor to patient? Makes sense to me!

The US is individualistic and very few people actually care for the common good, and far fewer are willing to work toward it.

Originally posted by Sushipunk I don't hate my country. I'm often disappointed in the Yobbo culture (read as: Chav culture or whatever) that exists here, but I don't think that's reason enough to hate my country, just to hate one culture within it. We have it pretty damn good here, and after substantial travels to many other countries, I can't think of anywhere I would rather live.

I agree. Things are pretty good here. I've got health insurance and a job that pays more than it would in the US. My complaints about Australia are that things are so damn expensive compared to my home country (US). When I go home I buy tons of stuff and bring it back, b/c it is that much cheaper. I also feel that there is a little bit of an inferiority complex to the US. Other than that I have tons more to complain about the US.

Things I do not like about the US:
- The government
- The president
- Minimum wage
- Lack of health insurance
- The culture that everything is bigger in America
- Income tax. The US government expects me to claim my income that I make overseas and pay tax on it even though I do not live there.
- Military benefits given after a serviceperson retires or dies are practically nothing.
- Voting age vs. drinking age

I pay taxes here and have a retirement fund. I can exempt my taxes when I lived in the country for 330+ days in a tax year. For the year 2006 I lived here for 4 months. They expect me to claim that even though I also pay tax on it here.

As far as I am concerned, I dont really get any benefits from the US, when I am here. Really, what do I get? Embassy usuage? I dont know, I think about giving up my citizenship to the US, but I hold on to it, b/c 1- it is easier on the passport line 2- Social Security (if it is even around then). I dont think I can do dual citizenship.
