Why can't we be more like England?

I love England. I love its gray, drizzly climate, its people with their umbrellas, their huge palaces, their tabloid newspapers, the royalty, the pageantry. I love it all.

But I can't stand their coffee and I don't drink tea. Their coffee is like molasses flavored with kerosene. You can dilute it with a gallon of water, it is still thick and nauseating. Do not travel to England unless you carry a supply of instant coffee. Otherwise, your teeth will rot, your hair will fall out, and you will be afflicted with a stutter the rest of your life.

You wouldn't like the Taxes for a start

petrol £1 about $2 to u per litre

fags/cigarettes are £5 about $10 for 20it the bloody thieving government. we pay 20% of of wages in income tax

1. prince Charles runs his land rover on red wine which comes from his own vineyard in england.

2. yes you can get a dentist, it depends where you live.your on about the nhs free dentists but if you have insurance or are willing to pay you can get a dentist.

3. employment is the same, it depends where you live and the fact that we have loads of immigrants doesn't help.

4. your talking about our crime levels. you want to have a look at your own at least our gun licenses are controlled, so not just any moron can go and buy one.

5.yes you can go hunting. There are just not allowed to hunt with dog/a chase. but you need a shot gun license

It's difficult starting with the fact that the US fought a war of independence so that has left some residual hostility. The UK as cleaner somewhat class based politics with the exception of the Tories, and Tony Blair, who sold out to Bush.the UK has more culture, no capital punishment , no death penalty, national health insurance, less dirty politics and less imperialism now. What I don't like is the weather, the parasitic royalty, and mistreatment of immigrants ( not as badly as in the US)

Didn't we have a war or something so we wouldn't be like England?

"Great" Britain's violent crime rate is at an all time high.

Home invasions are especially nasty there since the bad guys know that no one has a gun.

Their unemployment rate is twice what the United States is...

and Beer and Smokes cost twice as much.

They pay more taxes then us.

Their tax money goes to support a bunch of inbreds (Monarchy)

Rule Britannia.... not!

I live in England i think its the best place ever you don't have to use planes to travel from one city to the other,

Probably due to the size and population England as you said is a lot smaller so things tend to catch on sooner such as recycling. I think i also read England has alot of green land in terms of percentage to its size than America

Yeah but they got no balls and they dance around to whatever we tell them to do.

But yeah, you're right in most of your points. I'm not sure abt the red wine driven Aston, though.

It's a small country, with few rednecks and farmers. The metro/subway system is very good. People don't need to drive much.

I like England.Beautiful country with amazing history.However,people cannot bear arms...people cannot hunt..at all(but the Royals can)....least that is what my friend(who lives there)tells me.that is all I can think of that I do not like about it.But its enough to make me not want to live there.I do not want to give the impression that I am some gun toting ,blood lusting redneck or something,I simply believe that a man(or woman) has the right to bear arms,to protect their home and family,period.I do think that the English are most definitely more compassionate and respectful then most Americans.

Your posts make England seem really good but I can tell you it's OK. We have just as much ignorant backward minded people as the US itself.

England sucks. Surely you can set your standards up a little higher than that, no?

You should aim for Sweden. Or Oz

Because we fought a long hard war to break away from England...
