This your American logic na wa sef.From Seattle to London?Why not do one on moving from Middlesboro to New York,compare the living costs.What is it about Yanks and ignorance? She probably thinks London is a synonym for Britain .

You will see someone living in New York telling you they don't have big houses in the UK. . . .maybe when they were last here,their visa restricted them to the Greater London Area

And all these ignorant people claiming the UK doesn't produce TV shows.Many of the US shows you watch are UK franchises whether its Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or The Office.It reminds me of one girl back in Nigeria who thought that the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire she watches originated in Nigeria.

As for those talking of dental problems,lets face the reality that under the wonderful health system in the US,life expectancy is one of the lowest in the Western world.I guess the Americans want to die earlier with their shiny teeth.What is the point of a full set of dentition on a corpse?

@Jackal

Mention broadband and Yanks will think its a music band 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.

4Him:
How can the average briton know that?

Chai,Yanks are too slow to recognise tongue in cheek comments.Abi,una dial-up internet dey slow don una reasoning too?

nwando:
Hoping the immigration doesn't knock on ya door tonight.

No be Immigration chase you go US? The UK is too small to hide,na why una dey flee to America. No worry,I dey in the UK by the mercy of Baba Dibia,I can never be caught in Jesus name!

morenike09:
so you're telling me you can call the US freely. . opuro elenu jaga jaga ni e. . . . . .i know family members that have to use cards to call us. hisss.

4play, you're telling me you can just go and buy a laptop, connect it, and you can just browse the net for free?

Come and see British wonder! Morenike Alagolo is dazed,shocked and almost comatose.SkyTalk enables you to call the US and 9 other countries for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!Not to mention,you can call any landline in the UK for free.

Yes,SkyBroadband is for free! Just connect to the net within 7 days and start browsing .

You don't know what you are missing.I will come to the US and bring you over,ok?

nwando:
now let's go slower on this TV license issue
4play says 260 pounds,jackal says 150
Bia Jackal,is yours an 18 inch black and white?
why the price difference ?

I said [b]$[/b]260.Bia Nwando,this is what happens when you are using dial-up internet(like Linkserve in Nigeria).Your connection is too slow jare.You can't keep up with the discussion.

You don't even need to pay the TV license,how will they know you watch TV? If you are buying a TV,you can give them a fake address if you think $260 is too much

debosky:
260 for TV license?? No wonder jackal keeps telling 'em that its not his house and the owners are not around

Are you saying $260 per year is too much?'Ol boy,don't let me start with Canada o

morenike09:
and how much is the internet, phone, and cable?
ever heard of triple play. . .get cables/ high speed Internet/ phone for less than $100 a month. .

Look at this one.I am telling you broadband is free and I can make calls for free 24 hours a day to any landline in the UK and 10 other countries including the US What is $100 a month? That is what you pay by the time you finish subscribing to SkyMovies,SkySports and the Playboy Channel

nwando:
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

So its the UK that does have good statistical records? You won't see one article that claims the opposite,here is an example of the widely differing rates of sexual crimes between the US and the UK:

The US rape rate as measured in police statistics was 17 times that in England and Wales in 1981 but 3 times greater in 1996.

http://www.civitas.org.uk/data/twoCountries.php

You can only speak for yourself,don't speak for instance for the 56% of African American women who claimed to have been sexually abused at some point in their lives.Don't speak for the thousands of women who are raped in America at a level that surpasses anything the Western world can muster.

nwando:
how about transistor radios
una dey pay tax for that one too?
and road license to drive your renault down the buggy infested streets

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

nwando:
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!

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.

The Jackal:
Carrying a SWISS army knife is for protection.
Just like Doyin13 packs condoms in his wallet. . . . No one knows when he might need it.

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

nwando:
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.

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

abolishing slavery in the UK hasnt stopped the racism and please don't even TRY to deny a good majority of white Brits are bloody neo nazi racists[/quote]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?

Imani:
[b]I have to admit that in the UK, we have only 5 terrestial channels and those that care and can afford get Sky satelite but you hardly see such cases of watching too much TV. [/b]Well, we have to pay TV licence so we actually have to get off our butts and work.

No embarrass us here o Freeview is free o.Mind yourself o,stick to the script.

I agree with Rev Wright jare_{make RichyBlack no see this} The country that gave us the KKK,Jim Crow and lynchings.

More than 50 years after the UK abolished slavery and made it an integral part of its foreign policy to use its Navy to end slavery,these Yanks were still enslaving people.How sad

A combination of expensive health insurance and an ever-increasing rate of obesity appear to be behind a startling fall by the US in the world rankings of life expectancy.

Despite being one of the richest countries in the world, America has dropped from 11th to 42nd place in 20 years, according to official US figures.


The lack of health care available to many Americans - 45 million have no health insurance - is set to be one of the biggest issues in next year's presidential election campaign. The Democratic contenders all promise universal health care.

The decline reflects the disparity in wealth.The life expectancy of African Americans is 73.3 compared with 77.9 for whites. For African-American males, it is even shorter: 69.8.Countries with longer life expectancy include most of Europe, Japan, Singapore and Jordan.

You didn't hear of M'uslim toilets in US educational institutions ?Is this not the same people that gave us the Nation of I'slam? When a preacher talks rubbish,we bundle him out of the country,you guys will be genuflecting to rabble rousers because of the silly 1st Amendment

@Danity

You can get broadband for free! How is your dial-up ? You can always console yourself by resorting to 4Him's history books were the US invented the web all by themselves.

4Him:
i
go and invent your own internet then come back talking about broadband . . . yeye people.

Tim Berners-Lee is American? What would the internet be without the work of British pioneers like Sir Lee.That is why Brits are more innovative than Americans,even little Israel puts the US to shame.

If you are talking of landmark inventions,you can't compare the Brits with the Americans.

@Jackal

SkyTalk allows me to call the US,Australia and 8 other countries for free 24 hours a day.These people are in the stone ages,how many of them even have cell phones?Broadband is too much for them,its like space age tech.

They think passing high voltage electricity through human beings is a good way to solve crime.

[quote author=D-reloaded link=topic=122822.msg2116683#msg2116683 date=1207175907]First off, Mary Bell, the 9 year old that killed two kids, British

Secondly I don't believe I said anything about there NOT being barbarians in the States. They are many and that's why I'm glad our justice system doesnt cuddle them like you people do. Here they stay in jail and get raped or get burned in the electric chair. Just the way I like it. Like I said, wnat to be an an mal, we treat you like one. Shio. All that serving prisoners Lipton like you people do doesnt work here o.[/quote]We are talking of the overall murder and rape rate and you are pointing to exceptional cases like Mary Bell.Name one country in the world where its citizens are murdered and its women raped as much as the US.

Capital punishment has gotten you where? Punishment exists for a purpose,if you guys are still killing each other at the rate of a 3rd world nation,its obvious capital punishment hasn't achieved its purpose.

A disproportionate amount of Americans who receive the death penalty are black,never mind that the justice system is not 100% accurate in delivering justice.A lot of innocent people have been and will be put to death in the US to add to the shocking death toll from the nation that brought us Columbine and Virginia Polytechnic

4Him:
Technologically the UK is NO MATCH for the US. So much for this country being filled with dumb people.
When next are u people coming to borrow more cruise missiles?

Japan is not building cruise missiles but its technologically more advanced than the US.How do you determine who is technologically more advanced? If its patents per capita,many countries,including the UK,are far ahead of the US.

Look at something as simple as broadband.The US has one of the lowest broadband usage in the developed world.I wonder where this US technological superiority can be demonstrated.

Only a quarter of Americans have a passport.Experiencing other cultures broadens your perspective and understanding of the world.

I once saw a study that showed that 1/7th of US University graduates couldn't find their country on a map.Americans are the most ignorant lot in the West,starting with their President.I heard Obama's experience of Europe is one overnight stay in London(he is chairman of the Senate subcommittee on European Affairs)

One Dirk Kuyt. . . . . There is only one Dirk Kuyt! Don't blame me,blame Dirk Kuyt.What a useless team you have at the Emirates,can't win a trophy even if their life depended on it.

Ok,the Champions League is a cup competition,that is why you guys are underperforming,what about the EPL?Is that one now a cup competition too?Last time I checked,you were hugging 3rd place.

One Dirk Kuyt. . . .there is only one Dirk Kuyt!

@Jackal

50% of Black men in the US will be imprisoned at some point in their lives.They have the highest incarceration rate any where in the Western world.

None of them has been able to explain why they are so busy killing and raping each other.In 2007,the state of Washington had a higher murder rate than Basra Province in Southern Iraq!New Orleans exposed their wretched underbelly.With mind boggling gaps between rich and poor,whites and non-whites,the people praising it know no better.

Lets not forget that the UK is part of a larger entity called the EU.Paris is 1 hour away from here with lovely French African chics.If you want to indulge yourself in some legitimate weed smoking,you can pop into Amsterdam(not that I'm interested)
What do they have to compare with Mallorca and Barcelona? These people don't know any better.

Just when these hapless Gaynners were rejoicing over beating Mighty Bolton 3-2,they have gone back to their old habits 2 wins in the last 9 games.This is the same Liverpool, Utd has converted to one of our reliable "booty calls"

Oh, you forgot bout education for their children. . .
My cousin that was bout to get into college in the USA ran back here to start up.
How many countries give world-class uni education for three grand?
In the US parents start saving up college fees for the kids from their first buffdayz.
nah, i'm just repping ma end sis
swear u like the UK too

In Scotland,its free. Apart from the Ivy league institutions,their education system is underwhelming.American pupils have some of the worst literacy and numeracy skills in the OECD.

@The Jackal

Don't mind these lost Nigerians.It was only 4 decades ago that their white masters allowed them to sit in front of the bus in many Southern states.Good news!Bob Jones University recently permitted inter-racial dating! What a bastion of civility

When they are not busy raping and killing each other more than any nation in the civilised world,they are here telling us about paying off thousands of dollars in hospital debts in installments.

morenike09:
Just wondering why you're busy finding out info on USA to compare it to UK, then come here bleating and crying over what info you got out of it

Is it vexing you that you are far more likely to be raped(some stats going back 4 decades put it at multiples of 17 compared to the UK)in that 'paradise' you call the US than in anywhere in the Western world? Are you annoyed that you are far more likely to murdered or sexually assaulted ?Blame the "civilised" men you seem to have in abundance there.

@rikkyjen

Like I said before,there is private healthcare in the UK.My parents use that however,the free option remains for poor people like me.This one you dey talk of bill for thousands of dollars,no wonder some poor people are often detered from seeking help until its too late.

If you are very poor in the UK,which is the category of people we are talking of,your income taxes are low(10%) or non-existent and you still have free healthcare on top of that.In the US,you are worried about "thousands of dollars" in hospital debt on top
