1. the wars I guess.....
2. new bundeskanzlerin (most powerful position in the government) is an ugly woman
3. david hasselhoff (?)
Didnt even know this until 2 days ago someone in the forum told me to "suck David Hasselhoff's ****". I googled a bit and found out that "David Hasselhoff" is often used to make fun of us because he was successful here in the 80s. This was new to me.....

Lager louts abroad

Football Hooligans (that's soccer to you Americans.. lol)

Men that shoot their wives and babies whilst living in America (the sick f~~k)

Tony Blair's kiss ass attitude toward said Mr Bush

We're too soft (polite, won't complain) for our own good

People that go on like all Germans are Nazi's ---- Still

How shite we are at sports (especially the ones invented here like Football, Cricket, Tennis)

But there's lots to be proud of as well.

America, yes, if you have a gut that big before you're 12 years old, don't go to the pool too often, you're making a new stereotype, fat children that go to pools and think they're cool. American cars SUCK, they were simply made to get you from A to B and back for cheapass people, little more.

Mustangs, vipers, chargers etc do not suck! Sure they use a lot of fuel but damn I'd rather have an XA falcon coupe than some shitty little shopping basket!

I'm from England, so:

Our football fans;
Our overpriced living conditions (compared to, say, the US);
Our largely conservative attitude towards change;
Our extortionately high taxes;
Our inability to win at...well, anything, really;
Our backward technological infrastructure (this is a thinly disguised dig at our lack of superfast DLS/Cable);
Our lousy weather;
Our chavs (see www.chavscum.co.uk for more info);
Our godawful customer service;
The Channel Tunnel;
Our lousy weather;
Our expensive petrol prices (can be as high as £1 a litre - about $1.70);
Smart cars.

Um. And maybe some more when I come back later.

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.

Uhm i totally agree with your statement man, although i dont live in the states, but there's one thing in this list that does not fit.

American cars... they fuckin' rule !! I live in Belgium and i'm driving my 1972 El Camino, 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and 1968 Dodge Charger with pr!de. Fuck them ricers !

yo dudes i'm from the all mighty netherlands.

what my country gives a bad name is that they won't legalize to grow weed and other stuff
you can smoke it, but you can not let it grow.

and of course the euro, everything is doubled in price when they introduced it.

mjw: The All Rounder; +22|6998|Rotherham, England

i'm from england, and the things i hate about this country are:

1. We are overrun with chavs. For those who don't know what a chav is, i will explain. A chav is a young person usually 14-21 who is a terror to the community, the type of kids that grafiti the area and drive around on motorbikes at 4 in the morning just to piss people off. Or the kids that hang around on street corners drinking alcohol (usually cider) and intimidating the public.

2. The fact that people think we all like tea and crumpets and talk like the queen.

3. Stupidly high car insurance prices for young drivers, i have just been quoted just over £1500 for the year, and the fact that women get cheaper car insurance than men, which is bullshit.

4. We have far too many immigrants in this country. Now before i start getting called racist and shit listen to the next bit. I'm not saying i hate all muslims or immigrants just the fact that we have far too many of them who take our jobs and get special priveliges.

5. The fact that we are half stuck in the past and half in the future. For example, we can buy HD ready televisions but we dont have any HD broadcast programs to watch on them. Or the fact that most people in this country can only get a maximum 2 mb broadband line, when other countrys have gone way past that now. Some people can access 10mb lines or 8mb lines but they have to live in cities or big towns otherwise they are stuck with 2mb connections at the minute.

And lastly i hate that we are so close to France, i mean what kind of country is it that eats frogs legs and snails????
Being serious though, i'm just kidding about France, but hey, being British i have to take any chance i get to take a cheap shot at the french.

" Pseudo Liberal intelectual scum " who in their Imagined sense of self worth and self importance look down on the very people who give them their freedom, protect them, feed them and make everything little thing they do and take for granted as a citizens possible.

For instance " The South "

skinny people that wear fat people pants.
Rap
democrats
liberals
any state on the NE Coast
Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky
Career Politicians e.g. Ted Kennedy
Air America Radio
Hollywood
People that make comments about the South. Look at the numbers. Most of the military comes from the Bible Belt and the South.

My post almost exactly, They look down on any state that is semi Rural as if they have some special knowledge others lack. I am from NYC. most New Yorkers don't have a clue.
The South is so much cleaner friendlier safe etc. The East Coast left cost liberal way of thinking, it defies logic
