England

[Fluffy Kitten]

Trust America is better then this shithole I call a country. (ye i live here and hate it)

[cheesedelux]

It's funny because to everybody who hasn't spent their entire life living in the London* area/Victorian gutter (Same thing really), it's a pretty nasty place to even visit a lot of the time. At some times you'll be wading through (Other?) tourists who have decided that the square mile surrounding their spot on the pavement now belongs to them. At other times of year you'll just have to avoid being mowed down by the furious faceless shapes which charge around the city in the guise of either emotionless business sorts who rival the capitalist sorts from early Soviet propaganda in everything apart from width (Usually), or young people wearing either very little or branded shell suits (They spend everything they have on those clothes, it's a good thing that education is f- Oh wait they don't pay attention to any of it. By not paying attention to it they're getting as much education as the average American :eng99:). With the former you'll just end up with something minor like a spilled drink or face full of suit. You don't even want to know about the latter.

The south has no remorse, the south is a great grey mass which consumes everything and says everybody else is shit.
*Also applies to other fun (Huge) cities around the world.

I thought Britain didn't like any more immigrants in their nation

[cheesedelux]

Defining "Britain" as "The BNP" is like defining "The USA" as "Alabama"

[Jamesness2]

I live right next to glasgow in between it and Edinburgh so my place is still pretty bad in the drugs and violence
Way but I live in a fairly nice and trustworthy place so I quite like it :). But in all seriousness Scotland can be great and utter baws.

Efters! Naw a canna really defend the shitole! I like it but it's got a select taste

Why?

It's a shit hole.

[FSL89]

I think UK (Can't talk about the whole, I've only experienced Scotland) is kinda bland overall. Coming from a country with pretty high standards, everything here feels downgraded and many times dumbed down. Now I don't know how it is in United Stated, but being nordic and live in UK is just.. bland. Cheaper alcohol, but that's about it.

Might mention that I live on the west side of Scotland. I've heard it's miles better at the east, like Edinburgh.

[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;24064424]Look at this southern ponce whining on the internet [/QUOTE]

Meh, I was only saying it in response to the northerner who said the reverse of what I said aimed towards southerners.

ALthough, I have no idea why none of us thought of putting the point trying to be made the way you did. It seems to have done the trick.

[QUOTE=Timenova;24020853]Its been raining a lot here in Portsmouth recently.[/QUOTE]

Tea and cake ol chaps?

[Anastatius]

I'd love to visit England one day. Anything in particular that I should visit while I'm there?

[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;24064424]Here we go, an approximate bill of all the health related things I have received for free from the government (from what I remember, there are probably more) with a reasonable estimated cost of the price in America;

Tetanus shot (£20)
TB jab (£40)
x4 flu jabs (£80)
Complete Hepatitis A immunisation course (£230)
Emergency call out with transport to A&E (£120)
Emergency treatment for dislocated knee whilst in A&E (£650)
Emergency call out with treatment on site (£300)
Emergency call out with transport to A&E (£120)
Xray of knee (£70)
5x consultations with a general practitioner (£500)
First professional consultation with Orthopaedic doctor (£180)
Xray of knee (£70)
Second Orthopaedic consultation (£180)
Surgery on left knee (£2200)
Hospital stay during surgery (£700)
Drug prescriptions (£200)
Physiotherapy (£200)
Third Orthopaedic consultation (£180)
Xray of knee (£70)
Surgery on right knee (£2200)

Glasses (£120)
Tests for Glaucoma (£200)
17x Dentist visits (£1020)
6x fillings (£360)
Tooth pulled (£120)

I could go on, but I think you get the idea. The total of that list comes to £13200 or $20581 for you Americans. Going from my payslips from my entire working life (four years) I have paid £0 in taxes and about £200 in national insurance. I'm sure once I have a full time job that pays more than £6k a year I will start paying taxes, but I have a thirteen grand head start on them, not even counting for the cost of my primary and secondary school education, the various grants and bursaries I have received at University and the cost of other Public Services such as the fire and police.

I can't think of an argument. Instead I'll just say "THIS PROVES NOTHING SHUT UP. :("

holy fuck get a life

[ElectricSquid]

Yorkshire is a nice place, but it has this pervasive farm-animal-crap-smell half the time. I dunno if that's elsewhere too.
England has some stricter laws than the States, and some of them make little sense, so be prepared if you do get screwed over by the legal system. Actually, there's not much to prepare for, other than find out what the laws are.
You can't own pistols, you can't own huge knives (I think) but you can own shotguns.
If you don't like soccer (They call it football) then hide that dislike or start liking it, because like 90% of the population loves it.
There's a lot of fat people here too, the dental care is sub-par (I went to a dentist and he said my teeth were fine. I've got cracks in my teeth) and there are less attractive people than I'd have hoped for. Don't expect to find many natural places, untouched by human activity, because that basically doesn't exist here. (With the exception of a few places)
Scarborough is full of fat people and seagulls.
London is rife with knife crime.
Manchester has a lot of gangs.
I dunno about Birmingham, but it doesn't sound like a nice place to me.
I'd post more if I can think of it. I live in England, so don't say I don't know what I'm talking about.

Edit: Screw what I said before, England is bland and mediocre. Go visit some shit and be done with the place, the weather sucks, the place smells, and not a single British person I've met do I want to continue socializing with for prolonged periods of time. Sure, there's tolerable people, but they're few and far between. A lot of the men are pervs, some of the women are sluts, almost all the old people are crabby, almost all the young people are horrible, ignorant, vandalizing little bastards, and you can catch shit ANYWHERE for being an American. They also have this kind of superiority complex (Doesn't everyone, though) where they think they have something above America. I really don't understand it.
Don't go to England.

Hell I could go on for ages about this place

I felt like I had to physically block the stupidity radiating from the screen when I read this. At no point in the rather short post that I made did I say anything along those lines, I simply implied that his post did not reveal any sort of disagreement between us. I'm surprised that you could interpret such a simple message so horribly.

[Earthen]

Just go to continental Europe (real Europe) and live even better

I hated living in England

[TheOneFree-Man]

Actually, funnily enough I've always wanted to visit (And possibly move to) america
I love the countryside over here though

I live in southern US. It sucks. My state in particular is hot and flat. Nothing but boring plains. I hope to move to Washington or Colorado in a few years. :sigh:

You should disregard all previous statements in this thread and listen to me.

You should move to the Isle of Man.

So we can Bro-Farmers/Bro-Fisherman.

One thing I've observed recently is the extremely peculiar type of patriotism in the UK. We hate this country, and take every possible opportunity to slag it off to the extreme. But, say one thing about my queen, my cuppa and my fucking rain and I'll glass ye, fuckin coon :britain:

[SteeleCratos]

Move to Canada. We're like england except closer and with better weed.

Also no chavs.
