The crime rate in any categories. I hate the taxes that we have to pay that is absurd. I hate the fact that the gas prices are enormous. I hate the fact that it is very hard to find a job in our country. I dislike ignorant, biased, racists people.. I dislike people whom act as if they have no home training, whatsoever! I dislike the fact that you get charged for unwanted things that you don't need.

1. The climate in the winter time. 2. The miserable cold summer of 2008. 3. The high prices in shops for food. 4. Expensive and challenging to work out train and bus fares. 5. Seeing rubbish thrown on the ground.

I hate the fact that in my country if you are unemployed and are receiving unemployment insurance, the government will tax you on what you got. If you have no job, common sense would tell anyone that you do not have much money, so how can you afford to pay taxes on money that is rightfully owed you. I hate the fact that the government will not help people who have fallen down on their luck. You work all of your life and as soon as there is a time that you may need financial help, you are told that you are not qualified. But this country will take care of people in other countries, instead of taking care of home first. I hate the fact that this country stresses education, but the tuitions are so expensive most people can not afford it. I hate the fact that landlords are able to charge so much for rent, that the average person winds up living in the ghettos because they can not afford the rent in better neighborhoods. I hate the fact that everything is so expensive that it is hard to live comfortably, without stressing every day and night. I hate the fact that health care is so expensive that many people suffer illnesses because they can not afford to pay for the medical. I know it was a stupid thing to do , but my cousin was so deseparate that he robbed a bank to get money to pay for healthcare for his daughter who has cancer, and the hospitals would not treat her without payment first because they did not have insurance. I live here, but am not very happy with the way this country is run.

their are so many things to hate about my country. one of which is corruption how can a nation or country be successful or fruitful if the leader it self is the one depriving from success? i just hate small people(as if i'm not!hehe). second is the tax, it weights too much for the salary recieved every month. third is the way people think, thats why we wouldnt succeed because of the way we think, we have many useful resources here and yet it's useless we are still poor. fourth is that our country is not organized, it is topsy turby. fifth is the descrimination of rich people to poor ones in terms of law. injustice on the part on less furtunate ones if they commit crime. their are many undisirable things here in our country but inspite all of these things it is still my country it is where i grow up so i must accept it the way it is. cheers!!
