I still find it much more aesthetically pleasing than most other countries. Although I can't really say that for certain because I haven't seen that many countries first-hand, I've been plenty of times to the US and used to live there, it is awesome. It sucks in some ways, but living there is quite nice.

EDIT: I just don't see where people get "shithole" from. There are far worse places.

It's mainly from living here all my life, there are a list of things about this place that irk me that I'm not going to list because it's a bit much (it could be equal in other places as well, but I can't speak for them). The biggest thing is just the attitude of people in higher populated areas. Forget about safety on the road, people drive however the hell the feel to the point where I'm not even sure if they have a valid license...

Like you said, and I said as well, it's a comfortable living place, especially where I live compared to the areas around me, but leave your house and the place can be a drag. Depends where you live mostly.

I understand. But these are things you will encounter almost everywhere. Generally, around 50% of all people are utterly abhorrent at best and a serious safety hazard at worst. I believe that thing about the drivers, although pretty much all countries have terrible drivers. You should see how it is in South America. If you're a pedestrian and happen to find yourself in the middle of the street when the light turns green you actually stand a high chance of being run over. No joke. Not to mention the ridiculously high percentage of traffic-related fatalities, the fact that many drivers ignore right-of-ways and run reds. It's anarchy. Probably worse in Africa and certain Asian countries.
