why do you love or hate the country where you live

Wow, this forum has a lot of people from so many countries... :DI live in Brasília, Brazil, and I love here. It's such a free and BIG country :)
I wish to visit all the 27 states.

thats a joke, right?

New Zealand cos we're awsome!

Argh The country Im in is ruining itself. R18 rating for games...Gone! Politicians taking more and more from us ruining jobs ruining Lives. internet cencorship almost due to be released. the government is finding way of controlling us completely what we see, what we think and what we do. Most of you know im talking about Australia. No offence to the Aussies or anyone else but thats just my Opinion atm although its got its good points the bad points ruin it for me! But even if the country I grew up in, is yet developing from War. Infested with people that are greedy and rough. It has beautiful landscape. Easy mostly peaceful place to live in. Some people are largely greatly hearted. Again this is the way I see it as it is where i grew up. How i love it and how i saw life to be as a child. My views on my current country are ruined because of these couple of bad points. But the people in this country are also greatly hearted. People are people and there are always good people and mindless idiots. No matter what country ur in.

[font=times new roman]I still... love my country

MR4YThe funny thing is how people are only posting what they like or giving vague answers, XD. Nobody wants to stain it's country in face of people from various countries.What I like about my country:
-Various ethnic groups.
-We can taste every type of food you found in the entire world, except for a few obscure recipes.
-We can plant almost everything you find in the entire world.
-If you like some specific recipe in your country, chances are we know how to do it and either do it exactly the same or better.
-Biggest natural forest in the world.
-Biggest river in the world.
-Most receptive towards tourists and immigrants.
-We have direct elections.
-We don't praise junk food that much.
-We have universal heathcare.What I don't like:
-Our politics are corrupt as hell.
-We're the only country in the entire world that pay 73 different types of taxes.
-One of ours states has the biggest civil war in the entire world.
-We're the Soccer's Country
-We're the Carnival's Country
-Our people like to lick North American balls(expect for a few minded ones)
-We don't have the best education system.
-We do have universal healthcare, but it sucks.
-We can't drive diesel cars.
And other stuff. Not having enough patience to write all the stuff, XD

THE MIGHTIEST RIVER ON EARTH -AMAZON!!!!

I have a love/hate relationship with Indonesia.Oh wait, fuck it. Indonesia is a corrupt shithole. Overall, prosperity has plummeted since well before the Dutch stopped colonizing us (fuck the Netherlands). Religious zealots just about everywhere you look. The legal system is nonexistent. The social system has gone down the drain since independence. The education system is laughable. Infrastructure is in ruins : see the traffic jams in Jakarta, the condition of roads overall in Indonesia (no city planning whatsoever), utilities which only work a few days in a week, and let's not forget about the SHIT INTERNET SPEEDS.On the plus side, it's where I was born, and I'll probably spend my life to try to improve it :)

May god bless the dutch speaking people in Indonesia =].

From The Netherlands, can't say I despise it but I definitely don't like it either.
The mentality of -most- people here is worthless, look at someone the wrong way and expect to get into an argument.To many rules forced upon people, the police is way to gentle.. the prison system itself is a bloody joke and people keep wondering why there's so much shit happening all over the place.If I had to choose a country I would like to live in it'd be either China where my dad lives, or Japan.
They might not have all those shiny rewards or pensions but at least people are still living over there. Obviously each country has it's own good and bad things but meh, tired of my life here.
