Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by eldee(m): 1:30am On Apr 03, 2008
because they're from different countries. . .as to the illegal  immigrants we were discussing, they can speak 2 or more languages. reason why Americans that are from here(those whose ancestors immigrated from Europe in the 1600s) knows only English because that's what they know, their fore fathers are from your wretched Europe
yeah right, like u's lot don't have a wider cuture spectrum than the UK.
There you go again blaming the Victorian era for the poor American educational system.

Na wa. . . I can speak 2 languages too. what's d difference?/

Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by TheJackal1(m): 1:32am On Apr 03, 2008
@ nwando,

Dont be so fickle.
The 40% tax only applies to people earning more than 35K pounds a month.
Anything less than 35k pounds attract 22% tax which is very manageable.

Without a doubt, u have got everything big.
Big houses, big cars, big women, BIG PROBLEMS and HUGE suffering index.
It's pathetic

MA ADVICE: Move to the UK now. tongue tongue tongue

Even if you have to borrow to go to school,you can afford to repay it instalmentally because you'll have a job.
Free like they boast of in Britain comes with a price but they're too blind to even see it

@Jackal

Mention broadband and Yanks will think its a music band grin Nwando na woman o,unless she has embarked on a sex change operation at one of those Community Health centres.Community health centres,damn,the name sounds like one of those village clinics back home.

No wonder they don't live long(Yanks live shorter lives than Europeans and even people in poor places like the Caribbean and Cuba)They haven't heard the maxim-prevention is better than cure.Keep charging people money at the point of use for healthcare and many poor people will be deterred from using it.

Keep living on loans from the rest of the world.You owe $9 trillion and Bush will be borrowing to top it up to $10trillion.One day we will come for our money.

I dey go sleep,make these thieving Yanks dey waka about like criminals out to rob humanity.

THanks!


and the response

This one caught my attention since I made the Seattle to London move myself, albeit in 1997.

All I can say it was shocking then, so if you're considering a move these days, fasten your seatbelts!

But seriously, it's not what you make but what you expect to get for it. I have friends who work for £70K+, less bonus, and still can't get out of the rental trap. They do OK otherwise, but there's no hope to afford anything more than a broomcloset or converted public loo.

Be advised before you move.

Good, now help me tell Uncle Obama and Debosky  that in the UK, 'God bless the Queen', right from primary schools children are trained to be proficient in major 'world -economy-moving' languages.

It's no secret that property prices in London are high, but what do you expect in the meetingpoint of Europe
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by akins4(m): 2:01am On Apr 03, 2008
well to me; america is the best place to be,  america will make you what you want to be in life,  for each and every

succes you achieve in america, you'll be rewarded for it,  and they'll never kill you with taxes or sumtin unlike united

kingdom,  which can afford to empty your bank account to pay taxes,

to be frank with you, uk is a crazy place to live,  and  in the aspect of beauty, you can't compare united states with uk,

what else do you want to argue about again?

let me knw then i make you realize that america is the best place to live,
Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by TheJackal1(m): 2:09am On Apr 03, 2008
@ nwando,

U cannot blame the Brits. . . . . They love their history and they cherish their tradition.
Even in these days of metric measurement, Brits still use miles, lbs(weight) and other archaic stuffs.
Besides, they didn't really suffer much damage during the WORLD WAR II that could have prompted em to rebuild.
This is why places like Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin all look beaurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriful!!!!!

Majority of the houses u see in London were built in 1900 . . . Mine was built in 1903. grin grin grin
If u wanna see what London woulda looked like, go to Canary wharf areas.
Bearing this in mind, u cannot really say London is inferior to the USA just because of their old architectural tastes.
Blimey. . . .we still drive right hand cars . . . . That should tell u how this peops hold on to their tradition.
BUT. . . . . I still love the UK wink
