1. I hate how we butt into everything and make a huge deal out of nothing.
2. I wish we spent more money on our own home front then over seas.
3. Wastefulness, its sicking how much of our food goes to waste here.I guess that would also be gluttony.
4. Work enforcement.
5. We spend so much money on bombs and our military, I think more should be set aside of research for new cures.

What about the mass racism Whites are subjected to? Deny that? How about the self-segregation and the 'painting of a target on chest' that a lot of "People of color" perform?
... at the end of a job interview? YOU ARE IN DENIAL OR IGNORANT TO THE TRUTH. YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE THINGS AS PEOPLE OF COLOR DO.I'll give you something else... I jumped out of the delivery truck to ask the girl working at the front cash register to open up the loading dock. She got on the phone to talk to the manager in the back. Her side of the conversation went like this...

I have alot of white friends that call each other bro. And they call me bro.
I might just be very sensitive to the way it's presented, the way it's said, or who it's coming from... but I can tell the difference.
... and usually when I'm called "bro" by a white person, I don't trip.
I'm not saying the guy who interviewed me is racist... But he did have race on the brain.

I'm willing to bet it's kids stuff compared to what people of color go through.
I'm interested to see what percentage of money each ethnic group in America has. This will tell me how hard white people have it. I'll look for the percentages and get back to you.
How about the self-segregation and the 'painting of a target on chest' that a lot of "People of color" perform?
... And what would this self-segregation be? Ghettos?... yeah, we really want to be there.
Or are you talking about how ethnic groups seem to keep to themselves? It makes sense to congregate with those who are going through the same thing as you are. Especially if that "same thing" is racism, cultural bigotry, or lack of money.
How about I tell you what I hate about other peoples' countries? What I hate about America and Britain are that they're full of people who think that because I'm not a stereotypical Canadian obsessed with being a hippie then that must mean that I don't know what I'm talking about, even in spite of the fact that I live in the country that I'm listing bad things about and therefore I know what's wrong with those countries and you don't even know shit, because you don't live there and in fact probably have never even stepped foot there at any given point in your entire lives. But now that I've said that, I think I'll list some things I actually do like about this place:
1. Low crime.
2. Low gun violence.
3. Low pollution.
4. A free country; liberty and democracy are big parts of the country, even though unfortunately, wussiness is too.
5. Plenty of food, especially Chinese restaurants.
6. The healthcare system, although not as good as it used to be, is still adequate.
7. Decent education systems.
8. Is a “First World” country, meaning good to live in.
9. We’re on good terms with the rest of the world (or were before that dicknut Harper went along with Bush’s plan to invade the Middle East).

I'm pretty certain that 'low crime' is innaccurate when talking about Canada, as is Gun Violence ironically.
