1) Government interference in people's day to day lives - every day some pea-brained politician dreams up a new regulation (usually based on a survey of 0.0001% of the entire population.). The proposal is then 'justified' by arbitrary predicted 'savings' - the number of lives, taxpayer's dollars, reductions in crime, health benefits, social benefits etc. etc. The first thing a newly elected Government does - is to raise their salaries. Few politicians actually represent their electorate, most are only interested in self-preservation and "what's in for me". On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate criminals at 1, politicians as zero! None have a clue what it is like to live in the real world because only the wealthy are ever elected.

3) Tourists who go to foreign countries - stay in 4 or 5 star hotels, traverse the countryside in air-conditioned buses, private taxis or limousines etc - only visit all the 'important' (major) tourist sights then return home claiming that they have "seen India", "seen Indonesia", "seen Europe" etc. In point of fact, they saw nothing of the real country or how the ordinary citizens live. To give a fair opinion of any country, you must spend at least two months living with a local family.

4) People who have never toured their own country before going overseas on holiday. What answers do you give foreigners when they ask questions about your country? Worst still, are those people who have remained their entire life within 50kms of their birthplace. How can anyone truly appreciate what they have ... when they've nothing to compare it with, except the selected images of foreign lands shown on television? You will never know know how well-off you are, until you've seen how others live.

6) The world dominance of American culture on other societies via television and movies - simply because they produce the cheapest TV shows and have one of the world's most prolific movie industries, but pandering to the lowest common denominator ensures unmitigated garbage. The motion picture industry is only slightly better than the TV but the messages indoctrinates a far wider audience. American domination is an insidious disease that begins with Big Macs (or Coca Cola) and ends when all the country's major companies are either owned or run by American conglomerates. Most major Australian companies are already owned by either Asian or American interests. We'll soon become USA's newest state!!

8) Religious zealots who scour the globe looking for places to impose their germs, diseases, money-grubbing culture and bigoted doctrine. They brainwash previously happy and innocent societies. These scum-of-the-earth term themselves as 'Christian missionaries'. History proves that bible bashers were responsible for destroying the social values of many native cultures. They have caused more wars & conflicts than any other group on this earth! I despise and loathe them for what they continue doing.You'll never catch Buddhists forcing their teachings on the 'un-enlightened'. If the previous statement sounds objectionable - tough shit - it's meant to be!!. It's absolutely abhorrent that so many Catholic priests have been actively molesting children while proclaiming to represent 'Christian values. You would be hard pressed to find more loathesome individuals than those hypocritical church leaders.

10) Miscellaneous Moans: Microsoft and Bill Gates vision for the computer industry (Gawd help us!), Rap Music (a load of shit!), Cats (useless animals), Tele-Sales people (talk garbage - sell garbage), Virtually all TV Soaps (yawn!), a large majority of French people (arrogant bastards) although I have known some really nice ones, Those Get-rich-quick schemes (more bullshit), Real Estate Agents and Lawyers (parasites on society), Airline Stewards and stewardesses (jumped-up waiters!), Car Salesmen (professional liars), Social workers (and all other do-gooders ), Chinese & Mexican food (junk food!), Diets (waste of time), Fast Food (why pay to eat cardboard?), Art/Theatre and Wine Critics (self-opinionated blow-hards), Activists, Terrorists (wages war on the innocent) these days, Americans label anyone who doesn't agree with them as 'terrorists' . Well... these are a few of what I dislike. You may not agree, but 'different strokes for different folks'.
