Bad:

Asylum seekers
Standards lowering everywhere to help asylum seekers and other immigrants
Foreigners getting benefits and straining the system, better benefits than people born here

Good:

Language
English breakfast
Influence on the world

Same bad points that I would list for Sweden. Immigrants are the new elite. Natives must be humiliated until they're erased and replaced.

Positive things about Sweden is that we're peaceful and conflict avoiding people, society is fairly stable and it's economically a rich country.

you are from sweden? i know who i am going to stalk next

Bahamas

Good:
1. Never snows
2. Beautiful Natural environment
3. Family is always close because the country is small.

Bad:
1. no games are have releases for us because of the small population
2. everything is region blocked. (can't download any dls like black ops maps ectc)
3. financial strain, minimum wage is $5 an hour and we have almost 20% unemployment rate. Video gaming is very expensive because of the lack of dedicated releases, an example is when ps3 released at 600 us it was 1,200 here. Also 60 dollar games cost us 80 or more.....

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

USA:

Good:
Amazing wages (despite what people say)
Tremendous amount of personal freedom (despite what people say)
Enough food and clean water for everybody (which makes a country more wealthy than most people appreciate)

Bad:
Corporations slowly poisoning/ruining the country
The government taking what are essentially bribes and bending to the will of the corporations
Uneducated/ignorant/just-plain-stupid masses also bending to the will of the corporations with no intention of trying to make a difference or even acknowledge the problem

I love it here, but damn if things aren't really really effed right now.



Currently playing:

Bloodbath Paddy Wagon Ultra 9

The good:

Public transportation is generally much more punctual and efficient than in most countries I've visited
Lots of untouched nature, and the freedom to roam
Education system

The bad and the ugly:

Neighbours with Russia
Neighbours with Sweden
Continually having to hear how great our education system is. It gets stale, you know? (Also, almost neighbours with Estonia)



Hong Kong

Good:

-Shops, shopping malls everywhere. There's a reason why Hong Kong is usually referred to as a shopping paradise. From High end to the middle class to the grassroots its easy to go and shop for what you want over here.


- Food. Hong Kong being traditionally chinese and once a colony to great britain. We enjoy food from both nations. There's also a large variety of different cuisines . There's tons and tons of food places like restaurants and food court you can go to :D


-Games!!!!!! Its easy to find video games stores over here and you can even find a couple of retro gaming stores, but the best part is that we get video games from every region!!!! We get games from the NA, EU, Asia and Japan all retail. So when every someone here say they want to import a game i cant help but giggle at them XD



Bad:

-Crowned as hell. HK is a very small city but the population is over 7 million. That's why we our ranted as the most densely populated city on earth.


- Very expensive to own a house or rent a flat over here. As i said HK is a very small city thus even buying a public flat is a hell of a lot of expensive.


- There's really not a lot to do here. Though i'm very broke at the moment, but still not a hole lot of group activities.

Jordan
The Good:
1.Safe (despite being between Palestine, Syria and Iraq some of the most dangerous countries out there)
2.Has a very traditional feel to it(many areas still maintain the 90s feel)
3.Religion is here in the right proportion(people are not very aggressive when it comes to religious matters but they are not super easy going, as a note Jordan is an islamic country and i am a Muslim)
The Bad:
1.Bad Government(we assign and remove people faster than anyone)
2.Amman(capital(where i live)) has one of the highest concentrations of Uranium in the air in any City
3.Overpopulation, considering That Syria, Egypt and Palestine(even though i'm one of those) all are here more than native Jordanians
4.Overpricing of everything



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

@Bold - I feel you! That's the No. 1 bad and ungly thing about Poland as well.

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I live in the US...
Good: Oreo's in the US are vegan-friendly; they contain dairy almost everywhere else in the world...
Good: diversity; you have to potential to be exposed to people from all walks of life...
Good: we have some cool cities...
Bad: the cost of living in parts of the country can be absurd...
Bad: the religious zeal prevalent in certain parts of the country and among certain populations can be scary...
Bad: health education resources are less than adequate for all members of society...



Have a nice day...

England:

Good:
Some AWESOME game devs here, Rockstar North, Media Molecule, Lionhead, Criterion, list is endless.
Relatively tolerant, forward thinking country. Racism and Homophobia is deeply frowned upon.
Food - I've tried food from around the world and never thought it was any better than ours, just the bitter French giving a false impression!

Bad:

"Broken Britain" everything ranging from chavs, to ITV to welfare.
Weather (although I like Winter at times)
Immigrants and foreigners that don't contribute in a cultural way.



 

I think I will have a better time trying to talk about the good things.

We have Asados.

Really sexy ladies.

And some nice landscapes I guess.

The things it does bad are a lot, I don't want to get depressed so I'm listing the good ones xD
