D-reloaded: Funny enough I had the same retarded mindset before moving here. No one I knew in Britain encouraged me to move here. Everyone talked of crime,free health care . Some neighbourhoods in London and Manchester are worse than South Central LA. Now most of those friends are here those who aren't come here every chance they get andgave up because they didn't want to start all over after marking time in that dry UK. |

No be the same Jackal and 4Play that were once talking about how you HAVE to carry a swiss army knife anytime you go towards South London? |

4Him: For people like D-Reloaded who spend time keeping tabs on Geneviveve and Omotola's BMI,its very useful info D-reloaded: They are all neo-Nazis and they never told us to sit at the back of the bus? How come income disparity between the races is worse in the US than in the UK.How come you have greater ghettoization than in the UK? |

4 Play: Of course!! nwando: Are you sure your friends are entitled to live and work in the UK, have the necessary qualifications and show ambitions to progress and not just praying till their Kingdom? |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:29am On Apr 03, 2008 |
eldee: Please help me out,it's been a while Istepped unto those places where angels fear to tread |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Dreloaded(f): 12:29am On Apr 03, 2008 |
4 Play: First comment *waka* . I see that you people pay TV liscense with your 5 channels. Continue! secondly, I will be the first to admit to the racism in the states, as for ghettos and what not, please ask your friends the akatas. since you Brits supposedly love helping others, why dont you take them in so WE the sane and hardworking people can live in peace. |

nwando:rotflmbo. . omg!! |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by 4Play(m): 12:31am On Apr 03, 2008 |
nwando: Bia Nwando,don't even dare compare your murderous and rapist infested cesspit to the UK. Of course,there are exceptions but the broad trend throughout the UK cannot be compared to the US where women are far more likely to be raped(some figures as high as 17 times using stats going back decades). How una dey manage in that country.No wonder HotFunmmi was packing heat |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by chiogo(f): 12:32am On Apr 03, 2008 |
Damn, all these long stories, how did this topic get to so many pages. Anywayz, America still RULES!!! no argument about that. Like someone said, UK is for people who were refused visas to America, simple. |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:32am On Apr 03, 2008 |
Imani: I'm not talking of people who came in to wash dishes. Thereare folks I know right now with the coveted HSBC or whatever you people call it and have gone back to Naija because of no jobs. I'm talking highly educated folks |

D-reloaded: Don't get it twisted. . . . The Babalawo shop is set up by MI-5s and immigration officers to catch potential illegal immigrants seeking help to evade the arms of the law. Carrying a SWISS army knife is for protection. Just like Doyin13 packs condoms in his wallet. . . . No one knows when he might need it. Meanwhile, we pay TV license to watch uninterrupted quality programmes on BBC. Have u ever wondered why BBC don't show commercial ads? Our TV License has covered all that. . . . . . Talk about CLASS!!!!! |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:34am On Apr 03, 2008 |
eldee, plz tell me where you got your statistics. . .only 30% are non whites? ok. . .so is there anywhere in my post that suggested that all the 30% are illegal immigrants? and plz draw out another statistics of the people without passports. . .kia kia nisi yi |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Imani(f): 12:35am On Apr 03, 2008 |
D-reloaded: Sorry dear, we can't since we dont have visa lottery scheme, and dont do amnesty. There are lots of illegals already and we are not as big as the "massive" US, with big roads etc. We can send some over to you sef. |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:35am On Apr 03, 2008 |
4 Play: And there are no rapes in the UK? no child killers no kidnappings no terrorist threats? no pick pockets no knifers no break ins It's just a happy place with your free health insurance A land where the rapists and childmolesters play "mortal combat"on their PSP Lord have mercy! |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:37am On Apr 03, 2008 |
Jackal. . .seems like the main reason you're in UK is to watch their ad free TV programs. . kudos to you |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by 4Him(m): 12:37am On Apr 03, 2008 |
The Jackal: Paying taxes for a TV that is legally urs is slavery not class. |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by 4Play(m): 12:38am On Apr 03, 2008 |
The Jackal: You dey mind them,have they heard of condoms?HIV prevalence in the US is 3 times the ratio of that of the UK It is the worst in the Western world |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:38am On Apr 03, 2008 |
The Jackal: We have them here and they are called PBS Public broadcasting service They rely on donations from viewers and not mandatory TV taxes What other taxes una dey pay? Taxes to pass a number 2 down the John? Tufiakwa! |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by TheJackal1(m): 12:40am On Apr 03, 2008 |
@ nwando, Of course, we have criminals here. However, the statistics here are low compared to the state of NY alone. Blimey. . . . . Y'all americans are still yet to solve the death of 2pac and Biggie after almost 12 years. Its pathetic. Lags in the UK go to prison, spend time and they are groomed so they can be reformed. 70% of em don't go back to jail. . . . . The number of prisoners in the whole UK is less than 100,000 in a country of 60 million. Tell us the population of prisoners in the USA despite the capital punishment most states adopt? |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:41am On Apr 03, 2008 |
how about transistor radios una dey pay tax for that one too? and road license to drive your renault down the buggy infested streets |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by 4Play(m): 12:41am On Apr 03, 2008 |
nwando: Na American logic be this? We are talking of comparatively.Of course,armed robbery also exists in Nigeria as in the US but the frequency with which it happens in Nigeria is what makes Nigeria remarkable. By the same token,there is rape and murder in the UK but no where near the scale your menfolk in the US are perpetuating. Its a tragedy that is unrivaled in any Western country. |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by 4Him(m): 12:43am On Apr 03, 2008 |
nwando: How else do they get AD-free "quality programming"? |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by chiogo(f): 12:43am On Apr 03, 2008 |
The Jackal:OmG, is that hilarious or what?? Same thin' as HBO, which has like 10 different ones, shows classic movies. No commercials either, u pay duh!!! |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:45am On Apr 03, 2008 |
The Jackal: give me your source This whole stats is beginning to sound like a fairy tale. Of course your prisoners are few are they going to be piled up one man 0n top of another. Most of them walk around freely amongst you all all they need to do is wear a ninja outfit and they fit right in with the rest of soceity |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by 4Play(m): 12:48am On Apr 03, 2008 |
nwando: TV License is only about $260 per year or what ever the conversion rate in that your sinking currency,so no big deal.We get value for money and most want it to stay.Incidentally,when you enjoy programmes like The Office or listen to the BBC World Sevice(even Hausa service dey),you know you are getting value for money |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:49am On Apr 03, 2008 |
chiogo:thank you my sis. . .some of them have never heard about HBO and On Demand eldeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, am waiting o |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by eldee(m): 12:50am On Apr 03, 2008 |
so is there anywhere in my post that suggested that all the 30% are illegal immigrants?no, now that u're blaming illegal immigrants for more than half of the population not having passports. if at possible maxium only thirty percent are not inborn, what have 'illegals' done to deserve the blame of the whole nation of unexposed bingo-players We have them here and they are called PBSerm, do they show big events like the Brit Awards and FA Cup matches? You don't gerrit, we watch 'The Apprentice' on BBC uncut |
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by Nobody: 12:50am On Apr 03, 2008 |
4 Play: America has good measures of gathering statistics Show me valid stats of rapes in the UK I can assure you neither myself nor morenike nor reloaded have been held at gun point and or raped. The "safe" neighbourhoods in America out number the ghettos by a wide margin so it's not as though we're dodging bullets in our homes as they feed you guys over there to take your minds off the miserable life of penury |
