I haven't really experienced any, but I think UK from what I have heard.
 
I'd rather live in the UK.. They have a lot more history, things to see/do.. Free health care and their economy is better.

I'd have to get over everyone's annoying accent though.

Well if the U.S. Senate gets it's act together hopefully we won't have to worry about healthcare anymore

Women with British accents turn me on

but I couldn't live anywhere but the states.
 
On second thought.. The old saying the grass isnt always greener on the other side usually stays true in my past experiences.
 
Never lived in the UK, so I have no idea if I'd like it or not....I guess I'll just stay where I am....
 
Other countries have similar freedoms as the USA. We are not the only free country.
 
The United States is not the only free country or democracy, not by a long shot.



Remember; you get what you pay for. I know a lot of people who live in the UK and every single one of them HATES the healthcare system they have.

Then why exactly is the United Kingdom's healthcare system ranked 18th globally while ours is ranked 37th? Why is our healthcare system ranked behind nearly all the other industrialzed nations'? Could it be because every industrialized nation except the U.S. has universal healthcare? I know a lot of people in this country to that hate our healthcare system, people that have been driven to bankruptcy and have lost their homes and life savings because of medical bills, denied insurance because they have a pre-existing condition, or go without and hope they don't get sick because they can't afford to go to the doctor. All things that don't happen in the UK. Remember; you get what you pay for, exactly, and instead of paying insane premiums that rise 3 to 4 times as fast as wages do (as is in the states) they pay a few more taxes and then everyone gets healthcare. They don't have free healthcare, everyone pays for it through taxes.

I'm quite impressed that even though our economy is a pile of crap that it is still better than yours?

If you came to Scotland you'd have to put up with Scottish accents

Well since I have never been to America, I'll have to vote for where I live, UK

I voted UK because I do love it here, but the USA is better because their government isn't totally fucked.

Lol that's debatable.

Voted USA, but right now...I'm not sure. UK seems like it'd be pretty cool, but so is the US.

Being a North Eastern Lass from England, the UK gets my vote. I love the countryside, accents, history, I don't mind our monarchy :3 I love the UK XD

I love the NHS. Yes it has a lot to improve on, but without it I would be dead, my Grandad wouldn't have been able to have the heart bi-pass he needed and my Nana would have possibly died from Skin Cancer.
