What's your opinion?

[nnomad]

depends on how much money you have

[grahamw48]

I don't know.

You'd probably have to live for a few years in each to give a reasoned answer to that. :Erm:

I don't judge a place or a people based on what I see on TV.

Odd question really. It all comes down to the individual personal framework of quality of life.

What's your take?
I guess you're talking about USA?????
Different states can be very different.
Have you lived in both countries for a time that enables a resonable assessment?

I've lived in Ohio for a couple of years and didn't take to it.
Lived in California for 7 months and didn't take to that either.

Different folks and different strokes

[stevewool]

lots of poor places in the USA, great for holidays, there is no place like home where ever you are, and at this moment its ENGLAND,

[Ako Si Jamie]

I've never lived there but from the feedback I get from others who have, America is no great shakes.

Philippines ranks higher. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[nnomad]

i have lots of experience of america, ( texas california oaklahoma wyoming etc ) and it just the same as here,,, if you got lots of money it is great and if you got no money it is sh*t !!!!!!!!!!,,, used to be the majority of yanks were ignorant people , but i think we are catching them up in the dumbed down stakes

[joebloggs]

if you got lots of money it is great and if you got no money it is sh*t !!!!!!!!!!,,,
:xxgrinning--00xx3: no matter where in the world you live ( apart from a few countries you wouldn't want to live in - Somali. Afghanistan etc.. )

[Michael Parnham]

I would certainly choose good old Blighty!!

What's your opinion?




Britain
Pros: universal health care, much better mass transit system, less violent crime, much more tolerant of other races/nationalities.

Cons: boarderline socialist government, obscenely high taxes, no guns, much higher population density, bad weather, questionable food.

USA
Pros: Much larger country, low taxes, more personal responsibility, more desirable weather.

Cons: higher crime rate, guns, less tolerance. :Jump:

[wayne]

Britain. Better education, much better healthcare, easier to travel around, culturally and architecturally superior. :freezin::Jump::Jump::Jump:

[stevewool]

i cannot understand why so much is said about our healthcare, yes its so called free, but this would make me stop here,this is just my thoughts, but while i am here, i will pay my taxes and live the way you are suppose to do, head down and work hard, till the times comes to say, lets go

That right? Or should that be in the "Pro" column?

[lastlid]

You get more bang to the buck in the USA, though. :biggrin:

[lastlid]

The Americans have problems with numbers. :yikes:

"Drivers in New York City who have licence plates that end in an odd number or end in a letter or other character will be able to gas or diesel only on odd-numbered days such as tomorrow which happens to be the 9th," he said.

"Those with licence plates ending in an even number, or the number zero, will be able to buy gas or diesel only on even number days such as Saturday November 10th."
