Mexico: (Don't live there anymore but it was my home country)

Good:
1) Amazing food
2) Amazing Beaches
3) Cheap houses and education

Bad:
1) Get murdered by corrupt police
2) Get murdered by drug cartel
3) Family gets murdered by drug cartel

Cousin was recently killed by drug cartels, presuming they payed off the police since he lived near a police station.

Do the drug cartels target random people?

No, they're actually more like a corporation now, so targeting random people would be bad press. My cousin's brother was in the cartel though, and he probably had some involvement as well, that's what probably got him killed.

Good:
1. Religious freedom to worship who/what/how we want, if at all
2. Economic opportunity: There are many opportunities to succeed and find the freedom to earn money and do what you want
3. Diversity: While individual towns/cities may be monocultural, we as a whole have many people represented and try to incorporate all/
Bad:
1. Government corruption: We have a government that only fights, bickers, and no longer bends to the will of the very people they've been trying to manipulate.
2. Mega corporations: See #1
3. Racism/Sexism/all sorts of ism's: Despite our progress, we haven't gotten rid of societal notions of "ideal citizens" or given everyone opportunities to prove themselves in an unbiased way. We have/represent lots of people, but we still have stigmas to overcome.

Australia:

Good
- Beautiful land with lots of space
- Excellent living standards
- Great healthcare system

Bad
- Homophobic, sexist Prime Minister
- Prevalent racism
- Terrible environmental practices. We sure love to destroy our beautiful home...


Agree with the Good, except for health. In recent times its all about numbers now. Doctors have quotas to fill not care for patients. However compared to most the world it is still pretty good overall.

 

The bad

1. I think he just conforms with the general public (ie religious groups majority). His sister is gay, if he hated them so much he wouldn't go near her lol.

2. Agreed, we are pockets of multinational countries and not multi cultural.

3. Don't agree, look at Tasmania can't develop anything there as every tree is protected lol. 

 

My bad would be.

1. too many dole bludgers who don't want to work. we should have some sort of work for the dole scheme.

2. too many goverment jobs wasting money.

3. Not enough future planning, it is all about NOW governements and not the future of Australia. Once the moning boom ends thing will get interesting.

3.

good thing about australia...

hot people on the beach????

Well, I go to the beach, so... :p

People in different places learn the continents differently, dude. Just because you learned this specific way where the entire landmass is referred to as "America" doesn't mean you're correct. It just means you're from a different friggin' country!

I grew up in a Nicaragua and learned it your way as well, where north and south are one continent, but I don't care when people separate them. In all English speaking countries they have two continents and refer to people from the USA as Americans. Germans, Dutch, and some other Northern Europeans use "America" to refer to the US as well. Only in Spansih and Portuguese do I notice the word "Estadounidense" and whatever the portuguese version of that is. 

But that's just me and my habit of saying things like they just are.  

I live in Brazil and only college leftists ever use 'estadounidense'. Everyone else calls americans 'americanos' or 'norte-americanos'.

Either way, you are objectively more correct than him. There are two continents - North America and South America, separate landmasses standing on different tectonic plates and joined by chance, much like Eurasia and Africa through Egypt, and a country that is called America. The same way the United Kingdom of Great Britain is a country called Great Britain, and the United Mexican States is a country called Mexico. Also, inversely to the situation on the new world, there is Central African Republic and the Republic of South Africa are countries called Central Africa and South Africa within the continent of Africa.
