Has anyone from the UK ever proposed to you?  They are so dry that you feel like putting rat poison in their food.  Follow them to the club abi na disco them deey call am. . . you will just shake your head.  Like they have 2 left legs!  Very akward.   The bed matter nko?  Very lousy! Grin Most of them have all shrivilled up weapons because of snow and bad climate. . . even a duck will give you greater satisfaction.  But come over here. . . education oooooooh, we are #1.  Party oooooooooooooohwe are #1.  Second to no order.

@ nwando,

That is no true test. . . . .we are talking about the quality of life in both countries.
People live a much better life here than in America.
Somebody like 4Him works 3 jobs to make ends meet. . . . Pathetic!!!!!!

@ Stillwater,

It's not about the land mass.
We are talking about an effiecient rail and road networks that serves the masses.
People don't have to travel with their cars because there is so much trust in public transport.

At least he can even find the 3 jobs.
In the UK how easy is it to even land one job talk less of 2.
The quality of life for any worker,professional or blue collar is definitely better in America
He can earn more
He can afford more
He can advance more easily.
There's been laws already in place to protect him if he's a minority like we are
I was in the UK before I absconded to America.

Who said people from Uk are sensitive?  They are boring with a dry sense of humor!  You only get them to smile when they are drunk. Others, you think they are smiling, but they have some form of facial palsy or their teeth are protruding out of their mouths for lack of qualified dentists to knock them back in place.

woah!! woah!! dumbest set of people on the planetthe fact is, Nigerians that i know tends to try harder and try to make ends meet. it depends on who your parents is. . how they're firm and helpful when it comes to the kids education. when my mom got here, trust it, she worked hard enough to renew her degrees here since America does not recognize Nigeria's med school degrees. . .

The Chinese, British and the Russians where responsible for the Japanese casualties. Where did you get that? That is amazing I have to say. The British at that time did not even possess a Naval fleet capable of defending her shores, not to consider launching an attack on the Japanese. For the Chinese, they were at the mercy of the presence of the United States Pacific fleet, and the base in the the Philipines. The philipines was the primary reason for attacking the pearl harbor, because of the large supply of petroleum and the ability of the US to intercept and control supplies to the Japanese from that point. For the Russians, they where only concerned about protecting Russia, and all they did was fight the germans approaching them from the west. Read about World war 2 battles you will learn about the many Naval casualties the Japanese suffered as a result of the supremacy of the Most powerful force in the world the US Navy. The Battle of Coral sea and Midway are but a few battle. The invasion of Iwojima, Nagasaki. And of significant importance the killing of Adm. Ishoruku Yamamoto, which dealt a great blow to the Japanese forces. One more thing, on what country's ship did Japan surrender? - USA

Up until the attack of pearl harbor, the USA maintained a neutral point of view, given that that was the best option. The attack on pearl harbor was the most important reason for the USA joining the War but that was not the only reason why the USA joined. It only served as an eye opener as to why the USA cannot remain idle. The activities of the German and Japanese on the Naval and commercial fleet of the Navy was also important. The passionate plea for assistance by Prime Minister Winston Churchill was also important.

The USA along with the allied forces safeguarded free humanity. I wonder what happened to us. What changed, why does the world hate she, who was once her savior. The USA is still the same, a few blurred places, but we still hold the interest of the world at heart.

The US single-handedly forced the Japs into a surrender. The British had most of their naval fleet decimated by the Japs . . . the only thing the British had going for them was the large number of forces they could muster from their colonies.

Forget all that Hollywood version of history.The Soviets in particular,alongside the Chinese and the Brits were responsible for most of Japan's casualties.

You mentioned the atomic bomb.The US only embarked on producing an atomic bomb upon joining the war,had they not joined,Germany was ahead in the race to produce an atomic bomb.If the US and the Soviets never joined the war,Germany would have been the sole nuclear power.

Maybe mushroom clouds in California and New York would have made the point clearer to the Americans that Germany posed a threat to everybody.

As for Liberia,if non-colonised entities like Liberia and Ethiopia are as wretched as they are today,how is the state of Africa today the fault of Britain?

Look! Cheesy  You better go and call for back up before we bury you on this thread.  Have you ever heard of anyone being refused health care because of lack of insurance in the US? Undecided  One of my brothers nearly became impotent from that your health care over there. Shocked  They wanted to do a swab of his kini for some kind of infection from only God knows how he managed, probably from all those toilets and dirty buses over there, and ended up giving him a very terrible infection since those dirty nurses could not maintain a simple sterile field!  This poor boy nearly died of infection.  You cannot even sue for malpractice.

If you can afford health insurance in the US,you can afford it in the UK.I prefer BUPA here to the NHS.However,the fact still remains that unlike the US(where a whopping 40m don't have coverage)you are still entitled to free healthcare just in case you can't afford or don't want private coverage.

When Obama is prancing around talking about universal health coverage,look at the applause he gets.No need pretending that Americans are satisfied with their health care situation.Some even have to go to Canada.
