The best would be the places...NYC, Cali, Colorado, VEGAS, etc...

The worst would be some of the people.

Worst: The bastardization of our political system where our politicians are bought and paid for at the expense of every American.

Best: Most of the people that live here. As a majority, we're nice caring people that are more than willing to help their fellow man.

I split time between Ireland and the US, so what do I like most about Ireland, well that is easy. A pint of fresh Guinness in Dublin is a very good thing, and the worst thing is the fucking weather.
In the US, I like the variety of good food from all over the planet, and the thing that I really fucking hate about this country (besides the GOP) is Texas. Ever been there? Fucking big cowshithole with a lot of waanabe cowboy's that never grew the fuck up. Austin is the only city worth seeing, fuck the rest of it.

The best thing is the people
The worst thing are the rest of the people who don't fit in the first category !

Ireland:

Best: You can sidestep a lot of laws, ie planning regs, vehicle maintenance, taxes, driving ability/sobriety, working (due to the ridiculously high state handouts).

Worst: Every bastard does most of the Best things, and that fairly fucks a country.

And like that era, it's very much a case of who you know and how well you know them which decides to what degree you can exploit the situation. Localism is a powerful entity in rural Ireland, if not all the way up to the Dáil.

It probably does come down to that.
As an English immigrant in a small community I will never really hold a position of authority or even really be considered anything but a 'blow in'. That's another Best Thing about the country for me. Outside looking in. Feels safer somehow.

like: in times of trouble, everybody stands shoulder to shoulder..white, black, brown, yellow and everything in between.

hate: the closed minded, those who insist on doing "because it's always been thus"..not questioning, part of the herd mentality.
