Things that annoy you

Yeah, even countries that have decent living standards don't always have our free speech protections. Freedom of speech is something that is especially special to me on multiple levels. We have big problems, but we can TALK freely about those big problems and criticize those who perpetuate them, which is more than you can do in other countries where they just sweep everything under the rug to save face, and you have to play along with it. 

And as much as the American economy/job market seems to suck for people, it also happens to be a lot less sucky than other places. At least, unlike Canada, we aren't confined to a handful of cities where 75%+ of the population already is, or in the case of Europe, (maybe) 3 "major" cities where 75%+ of the population also is.
