These are my 5 reasons why the UK sucks, and why Americans should open there eyes and relise just how lucky they are.


1) We pay the most for petrol then any other country in the world...Which most of us can't actually afford yet screaming and whining about it makes no difference.


2) GET THIS AMERICANS!!!.....Our public transport is a pile of dogshit and it cost's as much or even more to take the bus from my house to town, then it would to take my car. Considering it's only 11 miles!...And let's take into account our country is like 30x smaller then yours we have to pay £100 ($199) to travel from Oxford to London, by train which is only about 30 miles. And for the life of me I don't know where you got the information of our public transport being excellent, becuase you have been grossly misinformed.


3) We have the highest rate of teenage pregnancy then any other country. Probably due to the fact we are surrounded by Poor, Uneducated Chav's with no ambitions who spend tax payers money on fags and booze.


4) This country is a dump site!...Iv'e got a house in Florida, and everytime I go there it's like Heaven. I think I saw a plastic bag once on the road once which someone then made the effort to pick up!. If you ever come to England please email me if you ever see someone do that becuase they should be rewarded!.


5) We have to pay a rediculous amount of tax on basically everything!. Lets start by listing them:
Income Tax, National Insurance, Car Tax, Perks Tax, Petrol Tax, VAT. And im sure theres more....But that basically equates to about 70-75% of our income is just taken by tax. The poorer you are the better. If you make over £30k you might as well give up in life.


Thank you for listening to my rant. I hope that clears up why the rest of the world should be smiling, Becuase in the UK we have a reaosn not to.

This helps explain why "Children of Men" and "V for vendetta" uses England as backdrops for the movies.

It sounds like hell. Maybe have a couple pints and a laugh with the mates and you'll feel better. It doesn't sound like anything's going to change overnight.

How much do you think it would cost for 800,000 Guy Fawkes costumes?

See? You could come up with only 5 reasons.

9 reasons why the UK kicks ass:

1.) We owned half the world

2.) We led the USA into collapse and socially demoralized them by leading them into 2 wars based on bullshit intelligence - take that bitches, you're not independant, it just looks like it

3.) We own Cannuckistan. Cannuckistan > aM$ra£lUKkka

4.) We were responsible for the slave trade but got the am£ruKKKans to take the blame

5.) Our olympic logo can be drawn in MS Paint

6.) Free healthcare (just wait 7 years)

7.) All our retards are very easy to identify. They wear burberry hats or tracksuit bottoms with one leg rolled under their socks. In the USA, you actually have to listen to someone to discern whether they are a retard (90% probability)

8.) The few retards we have are shacked up in concent... uh, council estates.

9.) We owned half the world. Judging by the events of today, we still do. It just looks different.



Oh, and 10.) The SAS will kick your arse if you disagree. And 11.) We invented... everything and proceeded to fail at them. Ex. football, don't forget 12.) Americans stole rugby and pussified it and made it as homosexual as possible. In American spasticball, they wear spandex. Spandex is for sissies.

This is why at the end of the month after living 10 year in England, I'm emigrating to a better country where the standard of living is better and cheaper. There is no way I could buy a house in England without having a super morgage and I already have a student loan to repay!

HAHAAHA Legend. Thats so true. I could write an article on why the UK rocks. But unfortuantly I see the need to explain to the nieve people why it dosen't rock. It's probably because the UK tourist board has a tendancy to take pictures of the very few (I mean VERY few) nice places we have here, Where in reality go to Northhampton, Leicester etc....You may as well live in a 3rd world country.

The UK is probably the most balanced country in terms of being shitty and r0xx0ring t3h s0xxx0rz.

Remember, the British EMPIRE doesn't just span this tiny shithole of an island ;)

A couple points. Public transportation simply doesn't exist (in a functional fashion) in most of the US. Unless you're in a major city it's simply not there. And even then the quality is debatable.

The US likes to trot out the DC Metro as a model of what we can do. I'll give it this, it's pretty amazing, it's clean, spotless at that considering you get a ticket for even drinking coffee on the way to work, but that's one case. Go look at NYC, probably the best public transit system in the states. However parts smell like piss from all the bus taking leaks in it.

Our train system is also a joke. The North East Corridor is the "best" train line in the US, and the only true high speed one. However I transit from DC to NYC quite often and it's a pile of shit. Costs more then it would to fly, often has issues, and train wrecks are a plenty. Oh well they serve cheap scotch and a tasty cheese burger so it's not complete hell.

Well...It sure does sound 100X better then ours. But that's my whole point. You seem generally shocked that places like NY have buses that smell like Urine. Go anywhere in the UK and the whole place smells like shit and piss. Go into a phonebox and all you can smell is piss....Our train's right! the toilet is just a toilet seat with a hole. So when you take a shit and flush it..it just lands on the train tracks. How fucking 3rd world is that. This is 2007 ffs.

I think the common mis-conception is that becuase we are such a tiny country in comparision of course we are going to have trains, buses etc etc becuase it only takes about 10 hours on a high speed train...a to go from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland. Although that would never happen becuase they stop and start every 10 minutes. But what you forget is all your schools have free buses (those yellow ones on the movies)...We don't get those over here in the UK unless you go to a private school. This place is a pile of shit.
