Well, the US is the dominate world super power, so we got that going for us. We have the better leader  but the UK has MUCH better music.

Obviously not the Norwegians.....
Personally, I couldn't say which is best. But I know for sure that I would much rather live in the US than in the UK.

And how much filming has gone on in the US? Virtually none... ohh, didn't Arizona look good...
Face it, our countries work very well together, and arguments between the two are very unseemly, nasty and unneccessary.

Face it, we are a cold, wet country with no consistant apptitude for major sports.
Our economy is going to pieces, our health services and other major public services are so under funded it's untrue.
Our politicians are more interested in self advertisement than the country the allegedlt serve.
Americans have this romantic image on England (and the UK in general) as portrayed in the movies and on TV. In reality we don't live in thatched cottages (Dim!!!)
I guess it probably goes both ways and they could say the same about our view of them.
I'd still rather live in an American society than the one I'm in right now.

In a good mood again, RC?
America barely performs on an international level in sports... we are no better or worse than most.
Our economy is NOT going to pieces! Blimey. No more than the Maerican one is- which as we pretty much mirror theirs is not surprising. But right now our economy is the best it has been for ages! The downtuirn is on the HORIZON, right now the world is living the good life!
And European culture on welfare is utterly different to the American one, so a direct comparison is impossible. But trust me, they have their huge problems in that area as well. And their education system is in an even worse state than ours (The Europeans trash us both on that one)
And if you think British politics is all image, you will throw up at parts of the US system.
But then they are richer, have more global influence and drive the world economy.
Here is the final point- both countries have their good ways and their bad, their problems and their plus points. In the end, we are all just people. I'm happy where I am, and I'm sure you Americans are happy where you are.
On the whole, people that move EITHER way thinking life is better at where they are going are often bitterly disappointed when they find out that things are far more alike than different...

Richer maybe, but then they work a lot harder for it.
37hour weeks and a minimum 4 weeks Leave a year.
I agree that the American economy is also in troubl, but at least they are ttrying to do something about it. Our government couldn't give a toss. They are more interested in spend £34million in the first 3 months of this year to try and win the election.

Yeah, but we do have a large money stockpile... old Mr. Prescott was criticised for taxing just to stockpile monety, and maybe rightly so, but suddenly all that cash is going to be vey useful if things are going downhill soon...
I reckon the US will do fine as well. It's poor old Japan that's feeling the strain.
Not exactly a Labour supporter, RC?

To be honest, I've never been to the UK and I'd have to live there for at least a year to make what would be a fair comparison. So I'm stepping out of this one.
