UK Or US: Your Preference And Why?

Hm we're dumb yet I write better than you. . .?

and didnt Tony Blair just recently make a horrible statement about how black people are behind the sudden violent uprising in England?

Also Chelsea went to Stanford.

Yea time to get the conservatives in and block the borders for good! 
atleast labour brought hsmp and many millions came pouring in, the conservatives are exactly like their name!

TOH
I doubt blair said anything like that! apart from being a stupid comment, he is the most (genuinely) PC politician on this part on the pond.

chelsea also went for her Master's in the UK

If you think that the USA has culture you must be sniffing something 

The USA is the most uncultured country on the planet! 

Reverend, I wasn't making an artistic appraisal. US culture is dominant- movies, music,etc. It may be well be shit but that's what is ruling the airwaves right now. Capisce?

On that basis you are correct, but I would definately not call that culture 

The problem with the USA is the false and corrupt notion of the 'American Dream' - It does not exist and never did.

It is a country controlled by Jews, that is dangerously overweight and needs to learn a few moral standards.

Give me the good old UK anytime 

I concur! The American Dream is non-existent. Just a false lead

Yeah one that they lead you to believe they have.
It ain't all that they make it to be.

freer society? In terms of economy, probably
There is racism everywhere you look. THey have more compounded problems and use classification to create everything.
There is an idea that people have which says that America is a melting pot. That is a lie as well. You can't just come in and blend in like that.

I'm not saying US. is that bad but personally, for some weird reason, I'm in love with UK.

I know, I know, but there ain't no UK equivalent of Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Barack Obama, etc, etc.

lol @ GNature and donjohano.
I have personal beef with Condoleeza Rice on issues of war and Bush Admin but let me shut up for now.

You can't compare US govt to UK govt now! They are two different systems. Black men won't run for office, neither do black women. When they run and fail, tell me.
It is all a ploy to make it seem racially united but even where she is, she can't dare oppose Bush. She agrees with every thing he says so what is the use of her being where she cannot make a difference?

There are far more rag stories than rich stories  

The American dream is just that, a dream,

For the truth, read the following:

So true.

Let me give you an example. I am not going to talk about my self because I am not the bragging type.

I know of a guy who came here with his O' levels from Naija at 17. His parents were not that rich in Naija, but he had an uncle here in the states to stay with. When he got here, he enrolled in a community college and worked as a waiter at a restaurant. He spent a year with his uncle and moved out on his own.

Because he had to support himself, the 60 credits that usually takes 2 years to complete took him 5 years ! But he hung in there.
To cut a long story short, this guy graduated from pharmacy school in 2005 (Pharm. D degree) and do you know what his starting salary was ?  $75,000 !!

Another Nigerian friend of mine who came here with his O' levels used to take the bus everywhere, he used to work at a fast food chain and his first car was a junkie. He is now a Mechanical Engineer. He just completed his MBA last year. He brings home over $60,000 a year.

Should I go on ?


I beg to differ !   America does not work out for some folks because they are not willing to put in the work. They expect overnight success, but that is not what this place is all about.

na wa, you changed your mind already?

Let me set one thing straight. I love the lifestyle here but I miss home so the thing is I find reasons to be angry at US.
UK is just a personal preference, nothing complicated.

J, you'd be just as angry in the UK.

Reverend, I hear you but armed robbers, lack of electricity (my diesel bill pisses me off monthly), the sheer drudgery of getting things done,

In the UK,  (negatives)
its really hard gettin a good job if you are black and did not study in any of their schools, even if you did, our skin is different. even at work, they don't wont like you, they keep saying love love. its all false.
the uk culture is bad, why for God sake should small kids be kissing on the streets?
why should they be saying ''i hate my mum''
why should a wife accuse the husband of rape??.
most of them don't have peace, their kids don't respect them, they get divorced anyhow. they kill each other.
you see ciggerettes everyfuckinwhere, they smoke igbo on the road, it really s**ks.
the weather is unpredictable.
street cams everywhere, its really annoying. even in buses u find them.
small houses, no creativity like we nigerians have.
majority don't believe in God, they don't go to church
difficult to use their accent especially in most parts like the north except london and some other west areas.

In the UK, (positives)
very very good education system.
24hrs light
organised transport system
good roads
good work pay.
enough choppies and enough discounts
enough rights
enough laws.
there are other things that is good about the uk which i can't remember now. 



I have not lived in the US and don't know how things are being run there, but im sure its better than the UK. there are more of blacks there, you can easily speak their american english and you will go along with the system easily.

therefore,
i think i would prefer the US.
