That's because there is a line between democracy and dictatorship.

People are free to screw up min a democracy. If the gov't clamped down and made it impossible to screw up, then it would be something else. That's why the laws allow you to carry a gun if your record is spotless.....

Think about it!

No offense intended to our friends in the UK, but the British Empire invented the habit of going to foreign lands to kill "brown people" and take their stuff.

Fox, I have traveled all over the world and never realized how good we have it here in the US until I did so.

by all means come over here Very Happy

there are a lot of decent folks, but they're the ones who get all of the crap from both yobs and the government, and I suspect that being a nice kinda guy (not given to stealing televisions etc) you'd slot nicely into this class (the decent folks, not the yobs or government)...

I could go on and on moaning (I'm 16 going on 60 Shocked

) but I suspect you get the picture.

oh, and before you pack your bags, and just out of interest, how much do you pay for a litre of regular petrol over there in the US?
It's about £1.16 here, so about $2.32 in your money.

We get it by the Gallon, which is about 2 1/3 liters and we pay $4.30 to $4.50 a gallon. A year ago it was $3 a gallon. Bush, his father, Cheny and his friends made that price history. never to return. Cawk-sukkers!

Hmmm... let's look at the differences between the UK and the US...

In the UK, it'll cost you $10 to fill up your scooter. And your scoot won't last as long due to the rainy weather, idiotic driving, and local chavs who just can't grasp the idea of paying for things when a nice friendly knife wound to your neck will encourage you to hand over the keys. And if you retaliate, you'll end up doing time... unlike the thieves themselves, who will get 20 hours of community service and free methadone because they weren't hugged enough as a child.

In the UK, we don't have medical insurance... we have the NHS which is free hospital care. Well, kind of free... you pay 9% of your gross annual salary in national insurance contributions and up to a further 40% of your gross salary in income tax to fund it. And you will probably only have to wait six months or so to get a life-saving operation, during which time you'll contract MRSA. Or, you can pay extra for private health care in which case you'll pay a lot more money to catch MRSA a lot quicker. And you'll still be paying national insurance and tax towards a system that you no longer use.

In the UK, we all speak one national language. Apart from the illegal immigrants. Or the legal ones who segregate themselves inside their own communities. Or the local chavs who communicate in grunts and knife gestures. However, there are differences. Bum means ass, not hobo. And it's arse not ass. Pants mean trousers, we call our underwear pants. Fast means very very slow, or at least it does in any "fast" food restaurant. And customer service means we have the right to ignore you at our convenience. At least "go f**k yourself" is pretty universal.

And that's just for starters!!!

It just proves that business is business. There is no patriotism when it comes to money. Corporations spend big bucks paying people to think of Colonel Sanders in a kimono. Market research is probably second only to actual advertising.

Back on Topic:

I really want to see the UK. I wish I was rich. Sad

It will take me a year to save the funds to get there.

You should come over, it'll be great fun. Just stay away from LANDAN and you'll love it. Apart from all the bad things we have beautiful scenery, we have real History. There's actually alot of things that are over 100yrs old.

Sure fuel is expensive but we're not all rolling around in 6litre pickups.

How much is a flight? About $1000?
