Well what do you expect? In a world run by people, people are bound to be the source of nearly every problem.
What makes me angry? Where should I start?

First thing that comes to mind is getting screwed as a consumer. There are plenty of ways this happens, like when you buy a product that dies in 2 years (360), a product that slowly loses good features and gains useless ones (PS3), products that are designed solely to extort more money from the consumer (iDevices, Nook, Kindle, etc...) I hate EULAs that try to hide all the loopholes and rules under a mountain of legalese, effectively rendering it as gibberish for the majority of consumers. I hate how even if you buy something, you can't use it exactly how you want it all the time, as the EULAs tend to tell you what you can and can't do with your hardware. I hate how companies are more concerned with their bottom dollar than they are with keeping their customers happy.
Nextly government. I hate the (U.S.) government. It's broken. It's just a rigged system where either side presents their puppet to be elected to lead us, and all the presidents are concerned with staying in office and getting a second term, and refuse to go against their parties, even if it betters lives for millions of Americans. But no, the majority of government officials only care about lining their pockets with the hard earned money of the lowly commoners. It's bullshit. Why is it that people who do the jobs that actually keep America going are the ones that get paid a measly amount, barely enough to support a family, but the corrupt assholes who do comparatively nothing all day get paid more than enough for a family to have a decent living after the official retires? Our system is broken and corrupt and it can't be fixed until there's some sort of revolution. Will it happen? Hell no. Us Americans are lazy. We all bitch and whine about the increased taxes, lack of jobs, and inflation, but how many people do you see out on the street actually addressing the problem at its source? NONE. NO ONE has the courage or motivation to rebel. So we're gonna sit here while these big shots continue spending money, refuse to tax the rich, and send America into a spectacular nose dive straight into the ground. Goodbye freedom of speech, China has taken you away after they invaded America for not paying them back. I guess I'm going to have to move to Canada.
Speaking of people getting paid more than they deserve, it's obvious where our priorities lie. Professional Athletes get paid millions of dollars to play GAMES. I don't care how much they have to work for it, they contribute nothing except entertainment to society. Entertainment IS important, but MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER PLAYER? Please, give the players a salary and pay them enough to live a comfortable lifestyle, no one needs anywhere NEAR a million dollars a year, let alone MORE than that.
(That's all I have right now, I've spent too much time as it is, I'll probably update later.)
