Question

and explain in a few words, why it would be and it wouldn't be a good country that people from other parts of the world could visit. i hail from london, england in the UK and one of the great things about my country is the diversity of the people living here. young and old, gay and straight, different cultures- both racially, religiously etc. the bad things about it are well, i could choose any of the following: the level of poverty- one of the highest in europe-, the government, high taxes, VAT, you name it

Answer 1

I'm from the USA and one thing that is good about my country is that we have a lot of freedoms many other countries do not have.

It would be a great country that other people from all parts of the globe would enjoy because of the diversity here. It offers much in the way of cultures and history that one can learn about.

The bad thing is that we seem to "butt" our noses into other countries' businesses instead of taking care of the crap at home. I realize its all about the political power play...but many others don't understand and whereas we are trying to "help" (for our own political reasons), we end up looking bad to many others.

Answer 2

I am from the USA. I think there are good and bad situations that occur in all countries. I however, unlike some people, donot dislike the president. I love that I can say what I want, wear what I want and worship the way I want. I dont like taxes, but without taxes how would we be able to help less fortunate countries??? How would we be able to help people that are down and out here??? How would single mothers receive medicaid??? How would deserving families receive food assistance and shelter assistance??? We are truely blessed here but there are people that complain about it. I think it is a blessing from God that we are alive and well.

Answer 3

I'm from the south east England, and one good thing about the country is that we can do what we want here, if we want to be a doctor or a lawyer or whatever than it's possible, one bad thing is that our own government don't stick up for us, they seem more interested in other countries and other people.

Answer 4

U.S. citizen and thankful for that! I'm glad to live in a friendly neighborhood that feels safe and everyone gets along no matter what race or religion. I think anyone would stop to help you if you needed help. I love it that we still have more freedom than most countries.
Ashamed to see how heathenistic and Anti-Christ she is becoming overall. Too much wickedness and filth everywhere you turn from Government, the Church world, Media outlets, etc. I'm afraid of being in the cities sometimes.

Answer 6

I come from Switzerland.

Good things about it are how everything runs like clockwork and extremely efficiently. The public transport runs on time always, its extremely safe even in the cities, begging is illegal and there is no need to do it either, everything is clean (no litter really), its always poltically stable and quite peaceful.

Bad things are that certain things are unreasonably expensive (certain clothing, certain foods), shops do tend to shut early, military attendance is compulsory for males turning 19 (but its easy to get out of).

Answer 7

Answer 8

I'm from london and i love the heritage, the old buildings and cosmopolitan mix that we have. We still have alot of nice countryside and characteristic little towns left, but there are too many people and not enough space, the towns are too busy, traffic is horrendous and its expensive to live here.

Answer 9

I come from Ireland. Good things about Ireland : - the warmth & friendliness of the Irish people, the beauty of the country, much of which is still unspoiled, it's historical heritage. Bad things : - prices are high & it rains quite a lot, our politicians.

Answer 10

i am from the united states of america. what i like best about my country is the patriotic unity that binds the entire country into solidarity. what i dislike about my country is the exorbitant taxes we have to pay each year. roughly 1/3 of our salaries go to the state or federal governments. add to that, all property owners have to pay school and property taxes each year. that's another $3000-$5000 on top of salary taxes.
