The USA is the best country in the world to live in...if....

[Fury]

Your damned right she afraid. She's afraid her little island paradise might become overrun with Umurkans.

I don't blame her one bit! As for me, ...I can toot my country's horn all day long.
I know most of y'all don't have the stones to withstand our winters, but her's are a different story altogether.

Oh yes, you're most definitely the She-Hulk for living in Canada. Those brutal winters. 

What a putz.

[CQ]

I agree with you Sarcastic; I want to find out what this island is...

Many know, most the regs here etc, I have no issue with that. Just like my pics, real name etc - I just talk/share about those things over PM really. Being from such a small nation, I'll end up in the newspaper or something ghey if I splash myself all over the net.

I got the pics but not the island. I was planning on flying down to Barbadorubatigua as soon as I found out, too!

You never asked lol, you know I would have told you.

Come down, you're close. Cheap flight. Not now though, eww at the heat.

I'll be in Antigua for spring break next year. My buddy is starting med school there and he's got a 4 bedroom townhouse to live in right on the beach. 

[24KT]

Most of ur people live within what 250 miles of our border..gimme a break...its not Siberia up there.

Why do you think we live within 250 miles of the border? We're going as far south as we can, ...without crossing over the threshold into hell! I heard it's really hot in hell. When you get there, let us know if this is true

Are you upset because the pennies you make peddling your crappy gas caps wouldn't allow you to live comfortably and leech off the government like you most likely do in Canada?

Thats the life. Good for you. I thought you were done school? Or just going round spring break?

Wow, ...you're such an ass toot person. Wherever do you get your incite from?

I've got one more year because I had to put my Finance classes to the side because I wanted to finish my pre-med classes in two years, but I missed it by one class. I've got to go back and finish up most of my Finance classes and bang out my art and humanities gen eds. Not that I'm complaining.

Wow, ...you're such an ass toot person. Wherever do you get your incite from?

Jesus.

You've got an awful lot of American hate. Did it de-flower you and not call back or something?

[240 is Back]

He's making statements that US is the best place to live, having not spent a nanosecond in another country.

That is insular thinking, and you are an idiot if you disagree.

I don't think Iraq would be a nice place to live.

I've never visited iraq.  

Somehow, I just kinda know.

[CQ]

Good luck with that BF.

In an effort to reduce hate in this thread, I will share with you all a place a went - that I do not recomend. Haiti.

My stupid plane had some issue, so we landed in Haiti and I was stuck there. Boy was it not cool. Very sad really.

Cancel all plans to travel there stat, if anyone had any delusional plan to go.

[24KT]

IJesus.

American hate?! Moi? Get over yourself. Thinking you're an ass does not equal American hate.
Since when did you become America? What an assclown you are! 

[Fury]

When did this become about me? You just insinuated that America was hell. That's some pretty fierce American hate if you ask me. It's just one in a long line of comments you've made bashing the red, white and blue. Jealous much? I guess I would be too if I made a living peddling crappy gas caps.

What are you talking about? Insinuating America is hell is not offensive or hateful.

Such a silly argument because you somehow believe you are an authority on the topic.  Your opinion is just as worthless (by my merits, now I am an authority on the topic... see how easy that is?) and I couldn't care if you have lived in 12 different countries for 5 years each.  It's an opinion that I agree with having lived many years outside America.

My opinion isn't as worthless as 240's the person I was targeting.

If you think he can say the US is the best place to live without even exiting the country for a second, you're a big an idiot as him.

Now you see YOUR opinion is more valid because YOU have in fact lived OUTSIDE of the US.

My opinion is extremely valid.

Not to hop back in the fray, but I still think there is a vast difference between someone saying it's the best country for "them" to live in versus saying "my country is so great yours is crap". First is great, second is rude and insular. Big distinction to me and my opinion counts too

"For them" makes it even worse, because you're making it personal, 240 has ZERO personal experience of even having a vacation in another country.

Hey, Nordic, are there Mosques in York? I heading there to do postgraduate studies in September....I don't want to deal with...well you know.

If you've seen the world like I assume you have, then your objective stance trumps that of 240's. Looks like you've been to far Eastern countries too, so you have me beat also

Yes there are mosques in York

There are probably mosques in the Shetlands!

I have lived on three continents and in 6 countries and have visited every continent except Australia and Antartica.

I lived in the Uk back in 98'/99'. Things were different back then. I have a Welsh M8 here and he tells me that the whole landscape has changed since then....on a positive note:

At the time of the 2001 UK census the population of York was 181,094 and its ethnic composition was 97.84% White, compared with the English average of 90.92%. York's population has a slightly higher elderly population than the national average.

It ain't no Bradford!

You go to far Nordic! Remember he went to Niagara Falls

Not sure why it made it worse, as I was directly referencing his statement, which was personal in nature. My entire premise of using the term 'for them' was as 240 said he felt it was best 'for him'. 

Plus, the guy is a mega gun lover, so that knocks out much of the 1st world for him anyway, as that is important to him. Anyway, I probably should not have said anything, as we could be going back and forth here for the next 5 years at this rate lol. We differ on our opinions of 'insularity' is all.

If we could take those fucking muslims and throw them back to the rural villages of Pakistan, a lot of stuff would be fixed in a heartbeat

It's too late. The UK is flooded with Muslims and Mosques....point of no return.
