1. the undermining of our society with the "nigga" culture........glorification of gangs, guns, drugs, pimping/prostitution, thugs, etc. to our youth...............ensuring that today will always be better than tomorrow.
2. A two party political system that made me choose to vote for George W. Bush to prevent John Kerry from becoming president.
3. My government spending our hard earned cash to support those too lazy to work. There has been welfare reform in the past few years which have helped.....but as always there are loopholes and those who still find ways to abuse the system. I have no problem helping support our elderly, disabled and children. My problem is the government sends billions of dollars to lazy parents specificly to take care of their children...for free......billions of my dollars..of my co-workers dollars. If a parent will not get a job and take care of their children...feed/clothe/house them.......that is neglect. By united states law......children suffering from neglect should be taken away from their parents and supported by our government to give them every opportunity in life.
4. The hypocrisy of drug laws. Drugs are bad and should be illegal. My problem lies in the classification of drugs. I legally take opiates every day (vicodin, lortab, oxycontin) for my back problem (spinal stenosis from L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs aswell was an annular tear in the L5-S1 abutting the S1 nerves).............yet it is illegal for me to smoke marijuana......with or without a prescription. It is less harmful physically than opiates (especially to the liver which opiates will destroy over time)......not addictive as opiates are.....and does not alter the mind to the extent opiates do. Basically.......here I am.......a grown man saying, "hey.....instead of taking these harsh drugs, could you give me something a little lighter?" and ofcourse not being allowed. That's like legally giving people heroin but not allowing them to take Tylenol if they request it. To top it off..........marijuana was made illegal due to the hysteria around "reefer madness" which ofcourse we know today to be retarded.......yet the law still exists......even though marjuana is less harmful than alcohol and alcohol can be bought by anybody over 21 w/o a prescription.
5. the materialism of our society. I have a good paying job. I own a decent home. I do have two cars that I bought brand new in '04. I'm happy. I could live the rest of my life in the same financial situation I am in right now. I look around me and see others eyeing bigger houses, more expensive cars and luxurious items that they do not need and probably don't really want........they wish to have them simply as a status symbol. This ofcourse is part of the rift in our society between classes. The poor just want to be middle class........average......whereas the middle class want to be wealthy and the wealthy want to be wealthier. Ofcourse the middle class and wealthy have a large advantage over the poor as they have a more resourceful starting position.......giving them the leg up. This results in the poor remaining poor while the other two classes try to get as much as they can as fast as they can.

Things I love about England...
1. The Premier League
2. English National football team
3. English cricket team
4. Having beer in pint glasses
5. All my friends and family live here!
#1: My country's fear of rascism and biggotry. We have more races, ethnic groups, and national differance here then anywhere else in the world, and yet WE'RE intolerant and barbaric?! I want to beat the hell out of someone with a baseball bat whenever they say such stupid shit. Which may prove Americans are more VIOLANT then most of the world, but hardly more HATEMONGERING.
#2: I despise my country's ass-backward views in everything. Jews here are anti-Zion, the "liberals" control most coporations and news outlets, and for some reason the most God-awful American is supposedly the country bumpkin you'll see at a steakhouse. The man just wants a ****ing steak! Leave him be!
#3: The outrageous intolerance against religon. What Americans have against God I do not know. Especialy the Christian church. Yeah, the radicals like Pat Roberson talk out thier ass, yes, the Salem witch trials were bad, but guess what? Religous wars have gone on throughout history, and when Christianity has long sense passed, somewhere in space they're going to corrupt more religons, because even something as peaceful as Buddhism can be tainted by a communist goverment with only the most ill of intentions. Religon is not to blame, people are. Take your battle to the source, which is the individual making lies out of The Word of God..
#4: Slavery. Meation it and white people get scared that you're going to throw things at them, black people get scared it's going to come back, (That's another peeve. In the United States if you're not black or white, you really don't matter..) what both idiots fail to realize is that slavery has gone on sense the dawn of time, and hell, it's STILL going on if not more abudantly because now slavery is illegal in most places so on the black market it's even cheaper to get thier labour.. But Americans are so stuck on themselves, they look the other way at criminal behaivor in North Koreia, Cuba, and recently even Belgium. But pride themselves in "I'm a black yo! Foshizzle!" parades..
And #5: NASA. We spend millions upon millions of tax dollars on space programs. WHY?! You say we can find cures for diseases when you fail to acknowledge three important factors..
You havn't cured anything sense polio..
You could possibly bring space bacteria with you that could create WORSE diseases then the ones we know..
And you havn't REALLY tooken the time to search our OWN planet for plants and other substances that could cure what ails us..
The goverment just wants to use that money to bring us closer to Star Wars with colourful lasers and lightsabers *Skzzt!* *Zoom!* *Woosh!* But they know our people are stupid enough to believe thier lies. That money could be spent on IMPORTANT things, like healthcare and social security. If I ran the U.S. you may not ever know a cure for your disease, but I promise you that in your life you'd live alot more comfertable with it..
