We have some things wrong with us SethN, but so has England over the past century or so. Countless wars, losing territories, Princess Diana dying, etc. That is actually the extent of my knowledge on that country. But they have had plenty of bad times, many even wanted to leave and come to America, just like you. So just be patient and we will fix some of our problems. Maybe.


Well......we will just forget about every war that has happened since England was England, or even before...


Britain is bigger than just one country, so using just England for the Britan is disrespectful to Scotland, Wales and both North and South Ireland.

 

Northern Ireland and Ireland are not part of Great Britain.

Being from The UK you should know this.

northern ireland is part of the uk. ireland isnt

Northern Ireland is part of The UK but it's not part of Great Britain..... It's convoluted, I know.

I love this country. But the question is have you ever lived in England? If not, why dont you try to get a work visa and go there for a year or so. Ive lived in a few different places and traveled a lot. But once you travel you find out how similar the world is. You will find things that you never knew you loved about where you came from as well. And you will find things you love about the places you travel to.

If you haven't lived outside of Texas, also try living in some other parts of the states. Youll be surprised how different things are. I have a coworker who came from Austin last year and she fell in love with San Francisco, even though she is pretty Conservative.


Interesting considering Austin is usually more liberal than the rest of the state of Texas.  I was born and raised for 18 years near Columbus, Ohio so I have no affinity towards Texas.  I merely followed some of my family down here and went to college at Texas Tech (my parents moved to Austin in 2000).  You are right being away from the states (and especially in a poorer country) shows you how much you take for granted.  My main point of this thread was that USA isn't perfect and there are a lot of things that need to be done.  However, I am afraid to admit that USA has shit, poor leadership.  Look at the so called politicians (I mean pawns of corporations).  There are very few if any politicians in USA that has enough balls to take on the problems and if there is one (Gary Johnson or Ron Paul they are quickly swept to the side).  We are leaderless.  We are pretty much a chicken running around with its' head cut off.  There are plenty of things right in USA and just as many things wrong.  Pretty obvious what I am saying considering most people agree that the nation is headed in the wrong direction, yet we do nothing to change course.   I want to change course but everyone just keeps voting for democrats and republicans.

Is what I think we need to do before it is too late.  Otherwise we will be fascist and at this point I wouldn't mind being fascist over this so called democracy.


The problem is that most governments around the world have issues. The best thing you can do is get involved and try to help reshape the government.  One of the biggest problems in the US is hardly anyone in our age group is interested in politics, so the older generation controls our future.

Cool. We don't need like you either go live in England, idiot.


This would be a good time to tell you that Seth smokes a lot of weed.  I mean A LOT of weed.  I mean A LOT OF WEED.  Sometimes, he gets in these moods where he wants to get a reaction out of people.  Don't take it too seriously.

No. We are speaking about England. We don't care about Ireland, Scottland, Wales, etc. Just the land where the English are from.

 

Edit: Some people call it the not so great Britten. ;) (Just joking around. When Americans say England, they mean the UK, when we say the UK we mean London only. It's like when people from other countries talk about the US they are refering to only California, Texas or New York. )

 I don't think the UK's violent crime rate has been below that of the US any time in the past decade.


Well not since some idoits in the E.U. made us take half of the third world most violent criminals, with no option to deport them after time served in prison.

Yeah. I really hope Cameron's talk about a referendum on the EU wasn't just hot air.

If the UK wants to lose what's left of it's clout in the world, sure...

Jolly good, what-what? I was having tea and crumpets on the lorry when this quant chap fell out of the lift onto the pavement. My friend said, " What a frightening good show. Just spiffy." I replied' "Poppycock, I'd rather have chips with grey poupon with a large pint than watch this rubbish." He excused himself to the loo and waved a Honey nut cheerio.

 

Thanks for the link MBP, I was just teasing RedInkler. I personally did know the geograpy of the English Isles and the layout of UK vs Great Britian vs the individual countries. Though it is pretty confusing to most people.
