If it helps, I don't your country that much either.

 

Have you considered moving to Canada?

Right Wing Left Wing. It's all about the breast man. mmmhmm Fried chicken.  Keep your hot wings no thank ya.

I don't hate the US but dislike alot of it's culture and patriotism. I have zero pride. I give no rainbows about the flag. Not a matter of hate just a matter of not caring anymore about most of it and the parts I dislike I stay away from.

Have you checked out the Nordic countries? if you can get past the language barrier they would be awesome places to live

I don't know about left wing or right wing, but I believe a key factor is an old regulation prohibiting the news from knowingly broadcasting misinformation (such as, say, what the politicians say or do) helps a lot. Plus recently a third party has usurped the official opposition, which forced the old OO to clean up their act and has made the ruling party a bit more careful.

Special circumstances prevent it but I'd love to move to Japan.

I'd love to just visit as a life dream but it's just not possible for me. If I had the chance I'd be there in a skip of my own heartbeat.

You could live in North Korea where there is many people starving or Iraq where there is excessive violence. Or how about a country in Africa? Your expectations for a country are to high if you complain this country when really it's not all that bad. I live in the US and I appreciate that I can play whatever I want or say what I want. I like that we have a developed society with plenty of food and decent enough medical. I'm no patriot but I don't disrespect where I live. I look at what life I could have, and it makes me appreciate what I do have. And beside that, what experience do you have? According to your profile you're 14 years old. Why don't you become an adult before you decide where you're going to live and try experiencing being an adult first. And stop listening to what the internet and news say. People really shouldn't be complaining, because no matter what country you go to, there will always be a problem with it in some way, since no country can be perfect.

Lol I think he lives in Canada (that's what his profile says) so he should know all that. I think he was just exaggerating a little bit. Most Canadians I know do not like being told Canada is similar to America.



Or how about a country in Africa? 

yeah, that sounds terrible...

Seriously... Get your head out of your ass. When I say a country in Africa, you know what I'm talking about. I know there better African countries, but there are many countries, many of the poorest in the world, that are just plain terrible.

Well then Canada must be terrible since Justin Bieber is from there.

Just 4 more years bro.

Unless you're broke in which case you're trapped forever. Good luck.


If you think Smogon ban stuff

"Just because they can't beat it"

You clearly don't play OU

You clearly have no knowledge of the metagame

And you clearly don't deserve to have an opinion.

Like said, you're a bit young to really consider that so quick. However moving to the U.K isn't that simple. They are a bit over stuffed, and picky about who gets in, you usually do if you can provide good skills / money making. Or so I've heard.

The Nordic Countries are also pretty good, same with Austrailia/New Zealand. 

The U.S isn't that bad, but were defiantly not as good as we used to be. Their are some things that I still apreciate, but were too stuck in the past to enhance our country.

Eh, I don't know about disliking my country, but I'm definitely not all that patriotic. However, I have come to appreciate my freedoms a lot more the last year or two. I'll be spending a week in the Dominican Republic in a couple months, so it'll be interesting. Heck, I intend on moving to Singapore once I get through a few years of college.

Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

It's perfectly natural to not like something for reasons, you shouldn't simply allow yourself to be indoctrinated under the guise of patriotism.
