You don't see the Germans doing it and why would they?

People's attitudes towards Politicians and how they behave, we let them get away with far too much, a Politician gets caught basically stealing from the country and if he does it with a smile on his face, he's a "lovable rogue" or it's just brushed under the carpet, also the amount of cronyism that goes on. I'm hoping that's starting to change, this years election did seem to give the impression that people were really really fed up with it and we did our best to vote in change, just need Sinn fein to get more candidates running next time because the two other big parties will shut them out at all costs if they don't have the numbers to do it alone

I like our culture ,we have learned a lot from past mistakes ,we at least try to put those right, we are caring on the whole and we have a freedom others envy because brave men fought for that ,but that seems to be dwindling, we have a few bad eggs but so do all other countries, I would only ever want to live here ,or the US, I do think our justice system has room for improvement , as do a few other things ,but on the whole it's a great place to live.

The question was what do you "Dislike" about your countries culture, not what you like

‘Caring’

I hate how British media uses the term ‘romp’ to describe sex

well to be fair neem all you did was talk about your countries politics

as did othersw

this thread is about culture not politics

Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups. Wikipedia

you can argue that politics can come under the culture umbrella but im pretty sure that is not the thread intention?

I spoke about the peoples attitudes to our politics which is certainly a cultural thing.

I actually thought that Kazanne had misread the thread title, not sure why you're rushing to her defense by picking at my post which was pretty on the topic but ok........

Actually, the germans are pretty ****ing hardcore about not repeating the mistakes of the past and owning their part in WW2.

Acknowledging failures in the past is how you're meant to avoid making the same mistakes again.

The fact that you drive on the left. I HATE driving in the UK, I almost have a heart attack every time
