the thing that i dislike the most about the US (not that i dislike the US, but i figured i would chip in for the other side of the argument.. only fair.) is that people dont like the police. the average citizen is trained to distrust and be afraid of the police. its a huge cultural problem, and part of the problem is with the civilians and part is with the police.

I think that the whole anti-authority mindset is what leads to all the youth-violence we have in the States. Other countries that have more open attitudes where someone can ask a friendly question to an officer on a street corner dont seem to have the rampant problems with inner city gangs and school violence that we have.
