Interested in hearing about other countries, for some reason I feel hearing peoples hates will be most revealing. (Perhaps I'm a dick ). You can talk about your state if you'd rather, or a country you lived in or visited.

After having been to Dubai, London looks really shabby and old to me. I know old buildings can be beautiful, but less so when they are also so crowded.
Also the crime, and threat of it.
Rent.

Though in our defense we are not the brutal imperialists to the comparative degree we are accused of being.

The fething Tories.

Scum scum scum the lot of them.

Labour tosspieces.

Moaning about the weather and how the weather affects our movements.
Poor public transport (in particular our train services).

Toronto. Everybody hates that ing city. Seriously.

...

Wait, I'm from there.

In all seriousness, its the constant flip-flopping on military spending that pisses me off...and not just cause I'm a serving member.

Hrm.. what do I hate most about the UK?

Chavs, townies, hipsters, emos, scene kids. All are just... failures of the human race.

Of course I am generalising, but on the whole the vast majority of people who seem to abide in England, and their attitude towards other people/cultures/countries simply disgusts me.

The DAMNED WESTBORO BAPTISTS.

And people who think that Gay Marriage is not allowed, because of god. May I refer you to this:

6th amendment wrote:...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Damned bible thumping jesus freaks...

I hate North Carolina. Too fething cold.

Canuckistan dropped the ball years ago and is a shadow of its former self. The weather was never particularly great either.

I hate the people I have to share it with, especially the people that are running it.

The debt.

The English.

If you want deprevation, crime, threat of being mugged, dirty buildings etc there are a LOT more dangerous places than London or any UK city. Try Split and Zagreb, in Croatia or Salalah in Oman, Lukavac and Banja Luka in Bosnia or Basrah in Iraq.

Whilst we are only giving an opinion and your own viewpoint on what you think is a craphole is no less worthy than mine it is worth considering that there are a million different places which overshadow anything that the UK can offer as a place of crappiness.

The thinly veiled race card that gets played every election under the guise of cracking down on immigration.

That and our media's obsession with "celebrity".

Everyone.

It would be unfair to hold it just to my country however, as i hate almost everyone in every country on earth.

I guess i just hate the human race as a whole, ive nothing against my own country.

I hate Mr Mystery too. Cant forget him, and all the other greedy money/class obsessed self righteous communists that make up the hand wringing ranks of the Labour party.

I'm not Labour though?

Oh, and I also hate the Daily Mail with it's quasi-racist comments. It exists purely to keep middle england dumb, ill informed and paranoid.

Belgiums dumb Justice laws. not long ago, Police caught two terrorists who were planning a bomb. But oh hey, Justice made a mistake in procedures, so the terrorists just HAD to be released. Hey it's not that bad, we only have Terorists on the loose in Belgium.

Hm. Politically?

The Gun Grabbing platforms of the Liberal Party of Canada and the NDP gak all over not only the Canadian tradition of sports shooting and hunting, and the sacrifices our grandfathers made to preserve a free society, but also the common law right to self defense. (this point makes me wonder why you brits, with your nanny-statism and CCTV everywhere and draconian gun laws aren't standing up for yourselves a little more)

I don't like how the CPC ignores the needs of future Canadians by spitting in the eye of environmental legislation. I don't like how the only pro-Labor/Union party, the NDP, are complete and utter gaks.

I don't like how Canadians are mostly passive sheep and are unwilling to stand up for anything. I don't like the tradition of elitism in this country.

Physically, I live in one of the rainiest places in the world. Rain can get a man down. The weather is temperate, but not hot enough.

Outside of that, Canada is pretty ace.

North Carolina? Cold? Have you been to North Dakota?

The rubbish littering the streets, the misery, the filth, the steadily quickening pace of the nation becoming a place where intellect is a dirty word and the massed majority chew the cud, watch jeremy kyle and have nothing better to do with their time than update their facebook status with X Factor results. The property prices, the unemployment lines, the lack of financial support for public services and the endless ranks of middle management that now infests and slows them like too many barnacles on the hull of a ship. I hate the lad and ladette culture, the fake tanned fat slags throwing up every Saturday night from too much booze whilst their scrawny bastard boyfriends pick fights and the inability of any fether in my office to communicate with each other about anything other than soccer. There is no pride left in this nation except misguidedly by those who fly her flags in support of fascist ideas that we actually fought against.

Because we realise that owning a gun doesn't mean anything, as you're never going to overthrow your Government? And indeed the only reason to have a gun for home defence is if the laws on guns means anyone you'd need to defend your home from is likely to be packing?

Simply put, we're just not that paranoid. And a frying pan upside the head does the job just as well.

I love Kamloops and most of Canada, was born in New West Minister but moved out when I was 5, never was a big fan of Vancouver prefer Victoria more. Anyways what I dislike about Canada is the large amount of pretty girls who are unwilling to

make "love" with me.

Your Government has zero reason to fear you, that's a problem.

I hate a great deal of the tabloids you get in Britain. It sometimes disgusts me to think that such shoddy pieces of ill-informed codswallop can legitimately be sold.

Oh, and though I wouldn't go as far as saying I hate them, I certainly don't see eye-to-eye with the Conservative party. Perhaps it's the traditional response to the Tories in my family, the deep personal dislike I have of David Cameron or even the fact that I don't agree with the way they are trying to lower the deficit.
Oh, but I do hate the BNP, especially their lies of standing for the beliefs of the majority of British citizens.
Other than that, I'm rather satisfied with my Homeland.

And you think having a couple of guns changes that?

You really are quite deluded aren't you? Why do I need my Government to fear me? Is that a secret ingredient of democracy? Because I cannot help but notice that the greatest hoarders of guns in the US tend to be right wing nutjobs. Yeah, I'd rather not run the risk of a well armed minority overthrowing a Government, just because 'it din't go the way we goldarn voted goldarn it!'

Keep your guns and political paranoia to yourself thank you.

Besides, what exactly would we use the guns to defend ourselves from? Squirrels? Jehovah's Witnesses? Next door's collie?
I think not.

I'd probably be up for take a pot shot at the Jobos like. Or the Mormons. Bloody weirdos.

Oooo things I hate about Ireland...
The corruption at every level, from School Principal all the way up to Taoiseach.
The "ah sher, it'll be grand" mentality.
The anti-intellectuallism.
The brainless nationalism.
The belief in exceptionalism.
The dearth of any administrative talent.
The fact that nobody ever does anything until it hits them in the pocket.
Fianna Fáil.
Fianna Fáil voters.
Anyone who ever voted PD.
The Unions.
The oppositon parties for being so devoid of charisma and ideas they can't gain support even when FF's is through the floor.
The high prices.
The health service.
The antiquitated and overhyped education system (best educated in Europe me arse)
The idea that ireland is important outside of it's liability to larger nations.

Hmmm. I think I'll stop there. I hated it so much I left. I like the UK a lot more- it's got it's problems, but the ratio of sensible people to gobshites over here is higher, and the gobshites tend to be easier to spot. Plus, you've got the right idea regarding education (apart from the stupid ranking system).

Canadians paranoid?!? You've got to be kidding me! It's common Canadian policy to keep your front door unlocked in this country believing that you're "imprisoning" yourself from the rest of the world by not doing so.

I hate that we don't have a decent Rugby team (at least it isn't decent in my mind).

From allot of these posts, I guess i'm not too keen on rose tinted glasses and people that "hate" their own countries for pretty minor stuff.

Lifes pretty sweet in the UK.

Just think of summer days and cider when all else gets you down.
