[QUOTE=bravehat;45817608]Come to Scotland, free university, free health care, free prescriptions, shit weather, everything you need and more![/QUOTE] Wonder how that'll be looking after the vote on independence...
[QUOTE=Chrisordie;45817639]And if the USA joined us we'd rename New York Chiddingfold-upon-sea[/QUOTE] But the English captured New Amsterdam and made it New York. Why would we change it again?
[QUOTE=Chains!;45817697]But the English captured New Amsterdam and made it New York. Why would we change it again?[/QUOTE] Because we could!
You may have healthcare but at least I've seen the sun on a clear day
[QUOTE=evilweazel;45817757]You may have healthcare but at least I've seen the sun on a clear day[/QUOTE] Low blow man. LOW BLOW.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;45817757]You may have healthcare but at least I've seen the sun on a clear day[/QUOTE] I'll have you know a few weeks ago we had a heatwave with temperatures reaching 27c/80f and it only nearly killed half of the population.
If anything the UK is [I]better[/I] IMO in terms of proper govt, better living conditions along with a plethora of other things when compared to the US. I'm not proud to say that I'm an American anymore, haven't been for a while, the European countries I root more because they're just [I]better[/I]. But hey, that's my shotgun opinion.

[QUOTE=TheNewDude;45814011]I for one, would love the idea of the UK joining the USA. If you're gonna give me dumbs, please explain why you hate my opinion, thanks.[/QUOTE] Jesus Christ - do you just like the accents or something?
I doubt it. I really hate my accent/voice :v:
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;45811015]New Jerseyians and British, battle of the most unintelligible accents.[/QUOTE] Limeys ain't havin' no chance winnin' that jawn, yo.
We're number 33 on the Freedom Index whereas the U.S is number 46. [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gIBCLswhuQQ/TWpn5TDUmBI/AAAAAAAALbM/mln3SJ8Y9c8/s400/british%2Bbulldog.jpg[/img] Muh freedoms.
[never mind]
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;45811015]This is just a typical "We're better than you still!" article but can you even imagine if somehow we just kind of...airlifted Britain over and plonked it down on the east coast somewhere? New Jerseyians and British, battle of the most unintelligible accents.[/QUOTE] i think you mean new yorkians
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;45817377]I'd point out, as well, that as much as it'd become easier to immigrate to the US, it'd become much harder to move to EVERYWHERE that's in the EU.[/QUOTE] I was going to comment on that, but I know the EU is a touchy topic and I feel like I don't know enough about it to pass comment, so..
The EU has some pretttty terrible regulations and more growing :v:
[QUOTE=Map in a box;45821063]The EU has some pretttty terrible regulations and more growing :v:[/QUOTE] Um no it's the US which has the terrible regulations.

[QUOTE=Riutet;45811128]Poorest state, best healthcare. Come at us.[/QUOTE] I haven't gone to the hospital for any injuries ever. I get to be less poor and the same healthy if I live here :smug:
[QUOTE=Riutet;45811128]Poorest state, best healthcare. Come at us.[/QUOTE] Singapore of all places has better healthcare than Britain.
[QUOTE=Amfleet;45811072]In terms of actual effect on a common person, this is meaningless. It's just another attempt by RT to spin the facts in a way that portrays western countries as dystopias. I remember one RT reporter saying she was told to come up with a story casting Germany as the same kind of dystopia despite having the strongest economy in Europe.[/QUOTE] It's kinda funny because using RussiaToday's own comparison method, Russia would actually be the poorest state if it joined the US. Using RT as a source should be bannable because they are just a source of propaganda supporting Russia's government.
