Britain vs the USA which is best?

Postby Tobiasia » Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:43 am

I have heard this debate many times and wondered what you guys think. Personally as a British person I think Britain is better because we have a welfare state with free healthcare, and a larger history. Also we are speaking English.

What do you think? You don't have to be British or American to tell us!

It is well known that Italian coffee is better than the American one, Cubans play a better baseball than Americans, and pancakes pale in front of Belgian waffles.
On the other hand, British tea is the best tea around.

It is far from functioning it is easily abused and people on welfare can earn much more than people living off minimum wage

Does the USA have free healthcare?


Well that's a good thing about Britain since it has free healthcare, but the welfare is stupid because chavs don't bother to learn in school and cant get jobs instead they be degenerates and gain benefits and reproduce too much just to get bigger council houses they deserve to suffer or should at least have to do community service

On-topic Well Britain is better than USA because it politics is less bullsh!t, free health care, better internet and better TV shows while I prefer the USA as well because it has a lower population density, easier for amateur chemists to do chemistry at home since there is less bureaucracy with hazardous goods

The only positive things in the entire British Isles is the PSNI and McVities digestives

Also watching all the stupid things the Scots do.
