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.

I have lived my whole life in the UK. Born and raised in southern England. A point to some of the americans talking about how cheap/expensive your transports are.

The bus. "Here in the states i only need to pay about 30bucks for unlimited bus rides for 1 month."
(taken from my hometown buses website. Brighton & Hove)
Here : "1 CALENDAR MONTH SuperSAVER TICKET £49.00"
thats like.. what? 70-80 dollars?

And "However I transit from DC to NYC quite often and it's a pile of shit. Costs more then it would to fly."

Im not sure how far that is in miles.. but i guess its about as far (i honestly dont know, but it takes about 4 hours on the train) from Brighton to Newcastle. the train costs roughly £140 return and to fly British airways its costs about £80. and takes half the time.

If they wanted us brits to stop flying everywhere then you'd think the Government would buck its ideas up and sort the railway out. But they can't, because they privatised it!

Im not ranting about americans, i've met hundred of friendly, smart americans. I have family in America. But the majority of teens are the same all over the world. Ignorant, obnoxious and dont really care about anything that they think Doesn't involve them. When it really does.

P.s i am only 21 but i am a totally different person compared to all this burberry clad, cider, vodka and Superkings smoking Generation. Most of my friends are too.

The problem is if you hang around niave, ignorant people, slowly slowly you become more and more niave. Which is a shame.

Peace out to all my bush and blair hating individuals! At least Blair is out of office now!

Agree with the original poster. From the UK but moved to Tokyo. So nice to be able to walk the streets at any time of day or night in almost complete safety.

The UK is a shit hole I spent 26 years in and if I can possibly help it I don't plan to return for any length of time.

Good riddance to the modern day UK

MarsMarshOn Anxiety And Depression
P {text-indent: 30pt;}-->I just got off the phone from a few crisis hotlines. The people that I spoke with didn't help to ease my mind very much; regardless, I'm still grateful for their service. It's a service that I'd like to volunteer for one day. My anxiety isn't so bad anymore, but I credit that to the few lines of ritalin I've been blowing (note: I mentioned the fact on the phone, and no one said a thing about it!). I've exhausted all of my coping resource...

quincy0191Infinity Ward VERSUS! Activision-Blizzard
The gaming world is abuzz with news of corporate villainy as Infinity Ward CEO Vince Zampella and president Jason West were fired last week under rather suspicious circumstances. According to reports, both employees were being “insubordinate” and their firing coincided with the arrival of some “bouncer types” on the Infinity Ward campus.This development just reeks of evil. The charges of insubordination are appropriately vague, and the additional fact that the firin...
