Well since I live in America, this is what I think gives my country a bad name and image. Not nesessarily whats wrong with your country, just things that embarass you.

Fat People

Fat Kids, ive seen little 5 year old kids at fast food places that have to weigh at least 90lbs.

President Bush's inability to make a good speach.

Amount of Murders.

American cars.

Celebrities.

Drugs

and the big one. The South.

I could go on but I dont' feel like it.

I would have to say the illegal occupation of the Northern most 6 counties of MY country by a foriegn country which forces BOTH sides to arms...La.

* I suggest we end this one, not the whole thread just anything dealing with this particular topic.

Our laws, they are a joke, feels like you can get away with everything here. Even if you did something bad you could just say you where sick and needed terapy and there go from jail to hospital.

Bush has been making better speeches. Its his inability to lead the country EFFECTIVELY. But overall his foreign policy has single handidly destroyed our image. We have proven we are the arrogant self assumed bad ass of the universe as so many other countries percieved us ass believing. Is this understandable or am I just going to get flamed? I feel its a logical point.

I have an Irish friend from Cooley. Sound familiar? I work over here with a ton of Irish, Germans, Indians, South Americans, a few Africans, we're pretty diverse.

Point about fatness. We are the fattest country. You have some good rebuttals but the USA has THE fat person problem. The other people are Samoans.

I was going to say the exact same thing i never been more embarassed just think how the troops felt you're going into a Desert why would you be wearing green? I woulda refused to go if Canada spent some more money on the Military then we might be able to defend are country if anything happend i dont mean spend all are money on the military and let people die over health care and etc like the states but its really a joke.

Another thing is all the Immigrants they just let in yeah i know trying to make Canada big happy Country but by doing so they are making us Canadians suffer for people who werent even born here and end up causing trouble or killing people.

Go to a hospital hours and hours of wait time and its all immigrants all of them same as the doctors office not to mention my whole town basicly has its own little chinese army just send a shipment of QBZ-95's and they could take over the whole town.
