Re: The things you like or dislike about your own country?I am not American but I certainly agree with your dislike of Fox News!(Original post by green chica)
Dislike:
Some of the backward-ass people
Fox News
How much politics and big money are intertwined
Guns are legal
Hypocrisy
All the obese people (though, not a ton where I live)
The Deep South
The hicks (aka chavs)
Crime rate
Much of our foreign policy
Sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.
They are aweful!

Wales - The welsh language, everywhere. I have lived in Wales all my life, and when I see 'ARAF' on the roads, it never occurs to me to slow down.
I never know what number of cashier I'm meant to go to in Boots before they read it out in English.
I always miss the information on signposts because it's welsh alternative makes it crowded.
I'm pretty sure there is no-one left in Wales that speaks Welsh exclusively, so they should really stop trying to revive a dying language.
And the stereotype that we fiddle with sheep.
Mainly older people in the North though. May I ask why you feel so strongly about the language?
