Anyone hate where they live?

I quite like where I am, though I suspect it's because everywhere is the same when you rarely go out.

In all seriousness, I like the people, I like the fact that we're a small-ish town, and I like that thanks to oil, our economy is doing pretty damn good. Keep Alaska beautiful - drill in ND instead!

I've got family all over the state, which is pretty cool. There's no cities close by, but it's not something that bothers me - too big, too confusing, too many people. That said, there are times when I wish that I could get a job, go to a store, look to the left etc where someone doesn't know my parents/brothers.

Most people my age can't wait to leave though, if they haven't already.

i lived in china town in toronto for like 5 years.....i can deal with that......what i was referring to was if i lived in montreal i would be constantly dealing with people i couldnt properly communicate with...in china town i hear stuff i dont understand, but im not constantly having to try and converse with people in chinese......

big difference

but we like toronto.....we moved to nova scotia (all my family lives there) like 4 years ago and hated it...moved back here after like 10 months.....

culture there is VERY different.....like drunk driving there is a sport, its still quite segregated (not in the literal sense, but the way people act towards one another)and there isnt much work

much happier here...mind you i dont go out much....other than work and to visit friends

but at least there is culture here

Sullivan is a shitty town and I regret not getting the fuck out of Sullivan like what some of my classmates did. People lives around here are shit.

The only good thing about Missouri is........absolutely nothing. Except for Kansas. Either than that. Missouri is shitty wanna be southern state.
So fuck Missouri.

I like where I live, but I hate that the rest of the world is so far away.

If I want to go to a gaming event, concert, etc, it involves driving 5-8 hours, minimum.

I hate that we're part of a so called country with their stupid laws.
I also hate the fact that loads of people from my country are really psychiatric patients believing in fairy tales and trying to make normal people live by their stupid fairy tale rules.
But I don't really hate where I live !
Only the people in the neighborhood.

You'd be surprised how much English is spoken in Montreal. For the first time, more than half the kids that entered 1st grade this year have English as a mother tongue. Although I don't approve of the stubborness of English-only speakers living all their life in Montreal, it's a fact that they exist, and in big numbers. I mean come on, try to learn some French, that won't kill you.

I went to a Tim Hortons in Montreal on Ste-Catherine (main street downtown) and asked for a coffee and a muffin in French to the guy, to which he replied:" I don't speak French, sorry". I mean come on, "café et muffin", how hard is that, especially when you work in a TH? The words sound exactly the same. Jesus I still can't believe this one...[/i]

I'm not the biggest fan of my home town, no. Capital of Culture? As soon as you leave the city centre it's probably the most insular place on the planet.

Scratch that: the larger part of the centre is the same.

*huff*

Which is why I think Marquette is a great place to visit... But I wouldn't want to live there

No, it's a great place to live. I just wish they'd hurry up and invent teleportation.

Yeah i do ... I hate it with all my heart ... i`m leaving in a country part of the European Union, with prices from the European Union and salaries from China. I`m a game designer, level designer and storyboard artist for a local (underground) company, i have a degree in math and computer science and i have a salary of 400 euros ($550)/month. Guess what ? I`m paying 400 euros/month rent for a 3 room appartment and 3 euros for a pack of Marlboro. I could work as a designer at Ubisoft Romania, Gameloft or EA Romania and i would get 450euros/month.
Of course i hate it!
Fuck it at full force in the vagina mouth and ass!

I live in Germany. I'd say it is okay here, though I really hate some of the laws and the big bureaucracy and all. I'm more of a Libertarian guy.. Estonia would probably my dream country..

For the most part I like where I live. It's nice and green, the weather doesn't get too hot or cold, and I don't have to go 10 miles just to get to the grocery store like the last place I lived. On the other hand, the county and state governments here are full of idiots, the cost of living is high, and the taxes keep getting increased for huge mass transit projects thatt will inevitably end up costing twice as much and taking twice as long to build as originally claimed. I don't see myself living here forever, and if I ever got to the point where I could live wherever I wanted I'd probably head back to somewhere in the Southwest, probably Arizona or Colorado (I already lived in New Mexico, and the place is just too middle of nowhere for my liking.)

My french is decent. gf was a bit worried of moving to a place where english isn't the most spoken language. Then I reminded her that we live in Vancouver.

This is true. Some of my friends can only spew out a few words of French but get by fine in downtown Montreal.

I don't hate where I live, because I wouldn't want to reside where most of you live.

I love where I live. By far the best estate in Pontefract, West Yorkshire I wanna live there for the rest of my life.

I live right behind a railway station (Renens, CH) where juvenile delinquents tussle with the police every weekend, but there's a sex shop a short walk away, which goes a long way as compensation

Sounds like it's someone else's turn to get the bad winter weather for a while. Up here in Western Washington since the beginning of November we've already had two instances of widespread major flooding (this coming just a year after what was at the time considered to be a 100-year flood,) and far more snow in two weeks than we normally get for an entire winter. Over in Eastern Washington, they've been getting record snowfall in some areas.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and I can say that I am generally displeased with living here. The main factors being the weather and the general attitudes of people. It's far too conservative and old school for me compared to other parts of the world. I am moving in the spring to remedy this.
