Things from "your" culture you hate.

I agree to a degree. I don't think that every elitist and troll on the internet has a problem with self esteem. I have a different idea of what's going on. Being mean and unkind while hiding behind a computer monitor makes some people feel "free".

"After biting my tongue and looking at the mess of the world around me, it feels nice to get on the internet and slam some poor punk. So nice infact, that the next day I peruse the internet just to do it again. And again! I may have to suck up to the boss, but I don't have to suck up to the kid who's spilled his heart out on some Youtube vlog, or some 14-year-old girl who's picked up a How to Draw Manga book at Barnes and Nobel and just posted her first picture up on Deviantart. Or some newby crafter that decided to give Etsy a try and make a few bucks. Who cares how they feel? My lame life is in a cube in some giant grey box and if I don't make an anonymous person feel like the total tool that I do, I'm about to go freaking postal."

I think people just have a lot of rage, and the internet is where people let loose on that. I guess it's easier to be a cyber bully than to go out and buy a two dollar notebook and write it out.

Another thing that really annoys me about my culture is:
The fascination with sports games. I've never been good at athletics so maybe there's just something I'm not picking up. I don't understand how sports work. Why do people spend money going to see these games that take forever to end; why players are given ridiculous amount of money; why schools don't have proper art and music programs but are able to afford multimillion dollar football fields, and why sports players are given more chances to succeed at good colleges when they aren't very academic. When I think of a game, I think of something that's fun to do on my own time and not something that frisks away so much money that could be beneficial to people who really need it. It's all just not very sportsmanlike.

I am German Irish . I hate that my German Ancestores commited Genocide
I hate that my Irish family including me drink to much and like to fight.

Some Scots can be very parochial and have delusions about their collective importance.As an example,say there had been 1 Scots victim when the Titanic sank (there were probably more) but in any case the local newspaper headline about the Titanic would have read
"Scotsman drowned at sea".
The Scottish National Party's decision to release the Lockerbie bomber was in my opinion based on a desire to show the world that
Scotland has its own Laws (big deal !)
A minority are also obsessed with sectarian (Protestant v Catholic ) views that strangely can see them one minute socialising happily
with each another then,usually in the context of football rivalry,exchanging insults.

Things that I hate about:

Teenage culture:

-expect me to drink

-expect me to do drugs

-expect me to already not be a virgin

-Most people in my school don't do their work and complain over why they got F cards

-Some of them are in gangs

American Culture:

-The Jersey Shore types.

-Big SUVs that never leave the pavement, especially the HUMMER H1. At least dirty it up a little

-Gangsta culture . Some folks just take that **** seriously

-Getting Drunk.......and very.

-Football (don't like it or hate it)

-Rap (some songs I can't stand COugh Cough LiL Wayne)

-20 inch rims on a freaking sedan..... Doesn't look good.

-Racism

-Arrogance

Hispanic Culture:

- getting killed for wearing the wrong colors. My favorite color is blue, but I can't wear it.

-some girls get pregnant too soon.

-being called a Mexican and illegal immigrant when I'm not from Mexico and I was born in the US.

-getting yelled at

-excessively spicy food ( If I could tolerate spicy stuff, I wouldn't ***** and complain about it)


STAY TUNED FOR MORE

I am a white aussie, non bogan.

I hate the racism here. There are so many unwritten rules, mostly about who you can talk to or become involved with. eg the wogs, the lebs, the aboriginies, the differant asian cultures, the indians, the middle easterners, the eastern europeans, the western europeans, the bogan aussies, the non bogan aussies/ english immigrents.

You very rarely see people dating outside the above groups and even being friends outside uni/school/work is frowned upon. You see the most mingling in the very low socio economic areas. It is so defined that we have huge gang problems.

The big exception is older richer wogs/ lebs and europeans can date and marry pretty young blonde girls as trophy partners. And Richer white men can date asian girls.

Brazilian-Englander..
Erm, about Britain - I hate how pride in our nation has all but been hijacked by National Socialists.
About Brazil - The thieves, and the fact money doesn't go very far at all now

Oooh, it has been a long time since I last posted on Wrong Planet. I hope that I am doing it right...

OK, now a bit of background. My ethnic background is Chinese but I was born in Malaysia. More than half of my life was spent in Australia. I am currently living in Malaysia again.

1. What I really can't stand is Asian style toilets. I simply can't use them. I get so stressed by them that I fail to do anything.

2. I also can't stand Western style public toilets if the toilet seats are wet because someone was using the hose to wash their bottom previously. It is just totally gross.

3. There are also too many social rules that confuse me.

You would think that with China 'rising', everyone would start to embrace Western style toilets (Think Japanese Toto). Hell no, one local fancy schmancy school removed all the Western style toilets to re-install Asian style toilets in April!!

[quote="Urban Dictionary on Bogan"]Australian term used to describe members of society that are a combination of what the Yanks call Rednecks, Jocks and Trailer Park Trash. most likely found wearing mockies, flanalette shirts and consuming VB (bad Aussie beer). Large amount of bogans can be found living in The Borough, Bendigo, Aust.

So Bogan= Australian redneck Thanks urban dictionary

Irish tenors.

1. I hate how we Germans like to sit around and talk about old war stories.
2. I hate how short temper the Irish in my family can be at times.
3. I hate how we Germans some times lack a sense of humor.
4. I hate how some times on Saint Patricks day we just sit around and drink ourselfs to death.

Valley talk and sarcasm.

Do Americans really have a culture? Really beside the fact that your country is made up of different cultures but really an Italian American for example, I would not really consider them Italian because they don't speak the language, you know. Guys at the forum that call yourselves Germans for example and don't live in Germany, do you speak the language? Have your ever really experienced German culture, allright don't get me wrong but I'm tired of hearing the "I'm Polish, German and some other s***" when they don't even speak the language
I'm I explaining myself well?
Ok

What I hate about Albania (Albanian father):

* I hate how much my Albanian family complains about how racist the Greek and other countries are to them, either because they are Muslim or whatever, when in reality, Albanians are pretty racist themselves, oh stfu.
* The high levels of corruption, its worse than in Latin American countries
*Oh how much we suffered under Hoxha and in general the levels of self pity are too damn high (it's not as high as the people in Kosovo though)

I don't really dislike anything about Montenegro, really the culture itself is not that different from any other Slavic country, the only thing that I might dislike is the fasination with the "west" from the younger generations but other than that is fine.

I am a German Irish American I speak both languages and yes we Americans have many diffrents cultures.

How people feed off of perfectionism.
