Why do foreign people complain?

Question

Why do foreign people complain about England so much? When I was at Uni, all they could do is moan about how bad it was over here.....well, no one was begging them to stay? I wouldnt dream of going to their country and ripping it apart - i'd just stay the hell away!

Answer 1

People do that in the U.S. too. People from whatever country move here and all they do is b*tch about everything. Nothing is ever good enough for some people. I too, sometimes think that if things were so great in your country why are you here?

Answer 2

Well... some people just love to complain about everything and they're never content... others are plain homesick... and others want to go back home, but political situations forbid from returning... Although (from the perspective of someone who does travel quite frequently which results in severe bouts of homesickness) I tend to compare everywhere I go to home... and some times even I complain when I can't get my Oreo cookies or the local shopping center doesn't have a Bloomingdale's... Its kind of a natural to do that and I'm sure if you were living somewhere else you'd miss home and complain about it too....

Answer 3

Foreigners complain because they want Britain to be theirs - that is to say they want to instill their cultures etc on us! Okay! Hearing loads of people now saying - what about the British Empire and our ways being forced upon the countries we colonised? Most of those countries are better off because of us! We are now a dumping ground - and as far as I can see immigrants have two choices. Accept our culture or return to your own country!

Answer 4

The sins of your forefathers honey. They taught all things good, shame when you drop off the airport /seaport or whatever method of entry one chooses. Then you realise the people here behave worse than animals, even pigs know their female from male and what to do with each organ. Alas, not here the people are so advanced you got to be careful, otherwise you will find your missing arm in their soup.
They still practice canibalism in some far flung land as shown on disvery channel, i bet those same people will be appalled to see your sex acts here. Sodomy and Gomorrah Revisited, who knows where from here?

Answer 5

Maybe its a learned thing. We foreign people complain becuase we see you complain and we think this is normal.

How the hell do yu think people then learn how to complain. Do you think that we do magic and as soon as we get into this bloody country we know how to speak the language. So if my role model is always winging about everything, obviously I am going to learn to speak just like him/her without even realizing I am complaining?

Why did you ask this questions? Are you bored? Maybe you should get a job then and stop complaining about foreign people.

Answer 6

I love england there is no other country i would want to live in, holidays yes, i am british by the way,
England must be good, look at everyone moving here,

Answer 7

I totally agree. If they hated England so much they wouldn't be here taking all the benefits and free housing. I hate the fact that my country is being dragged down by ungrateful immigrants.

Answer 8

I do know quite a few foreign people we have Portuguese. poles, and Iraqis all about but I have never heard any of them complain about England

Answer 9

Is because they are not happy - they are homesick and missing their own familiar country and family **

Did you see this joke recently on yahoo:

Subject: Little Mexican Boy.

Little Mexican boy goes into the kitchen where his mom is baking. He puts his
hand in the flour and wipes it all over his face. "Mom, look, I'm a white boy!"
His mom slaps him in the face and says, "Go show your father."

He goes to his dad in the living room and says, "Look dad, I'm a white boy."
His dad slaps him hard in the face and says, "Go show your grandmother."

The boy goes in his grandmother's room and says, "Mira, abuelita, I'm a white boy."
His grandmother slaps him in the face and sends him back to his mother.

His mother says, "See. Did you learn anything from that?"The boy replies, "Sure did.
I have only been white for five minutes and already I don't like you Mexicans!"


PS The English in Australia and New Zealand are often referred to as whinging poms for the same reason as ** above.

Answer 10

I live in America. I have gone years without ever hearing anyone even talk about England, let alone complain about it.
