I read your link and that OPINION piece was so simplistic and full of half truths I don't even know where to begin. I don't start threads complaining about British politics for a couple of reasons.
1. I don't care
2. It's none of my business and
3. I clean up my own yard before looking over my neighbor's fence.
Why don't you try giving any/all three of those a whirl?edit on 15-11-2013 by Carreau because: (no reason given)
So, your whole argument is: "You can't talk about our politics because you are a foreigner.".
Hahaha. Good luck with that one.

If your country is under the thumb of another all the more reason for you to get off your ass and fix yours first.

Rant all you want about the US and it's citizens and your opinion amounts to nothing. There's nothing you can do about the US, nothing.
Instead of fixing your own country you look for a scapegoat, fine with me.

Exactly. The USA population seem to be like sheep at the mercy of thier huge faceless bureaucratic goverment with little hope of voteing change.
The whole developed could reform but if the USA doesnt its useless.
Maybe it time to get those guns out?edit on 15-11-2013 by crazyewok because: (no reason given)

The United Kingdom is absolutely not superior to us on any level, in any way, whatsoever.

You keep using terms to indicate you see this as a problem you're entirely removed from and it's our suffering you almost pity?

In terms of our own nation, America has serious problems right now. No one in their right mind could deny that. Show me another system...ANY other system..which does or has ever been shown to work BETTER across a large and diverse population? The Socialism of the Scandinavian nations don't really count here, as they've said themselves at times. They are neither diverse for like minds, as the U.S. is, nor are they large by ANY stretch..and therein lay the doom for the only other system I know of which has worked half way decent over the long term.
Let not go down that route....I thought you were above that dude. Above the "were Number1 ! Were number one!" crowed The UK has many things its Excels at over the USA......politics is not unfortunatly one and we are a screwed up system too. But one at least that allows thrid partys.
