aint my country a bitch? free healthcare and a better education system than your nations, yeah dont we suck? we also help the less fortunate in our society, really evil aint it?

you dont seem to understand taxation, taxes pay for public services, taxes pay for your military

May I ask why you think your country has a better education system than Americas?

Also, your country does not give to the less fortunate in your society like we do. Your fellow British citizens gave 8.9 billion pounds in 2005/2006 to charity. We gave well over 150 billion pounds in the same timeframe.

Who's the caring country, again?

your country has a population of 300m+ ours is less than 70m, thats not a fair comparison, im not talking about giving money to charity either, perhaps you should read my post in full, im talking about in terms of taxation and welfare

you may be right about education, but the media coverage here suggests your nation is one of the few worse than ours, im not saying the UK is perfect at all, in fact i think we should be alot better, hell, i think most of the world needs to be made better and more progressive

 

 

 I hate debates, so don't expect me to argue. Go ahead and pin me down and whatnot, but whatever.

Anyway, the bolded:

1. 70 mill. X 5 = 350 mill.

9 bil. X 5 = 45 bil.

Compared to the 300 mil to 150 bil. in the US.

And taxation and welfare gives half to the homeless while the government keeps the rest.

Private charities give 90%+, which is what we Americans perfer. :)
