Never said it did. I was just illustrating the truism of the old saying -
'you can't beat the system'. You have inferred a lot from my single statement.
> Saying that 'this' or
>'that' is worse in 'so and so' country is nothing more than a cheap cop out
>excuse, that is used to show how 'better off' we are, and to shut us up.
There are probably a hundred countries on this planet where the average
citizen is worse off than anyone in this country will ever be. Life's
problems are relative - what you would perceive to be a problem many
wouldn't. Lets face it - if the straw that broke your camel's back was you
not being able to shoot pistols for a hobby then your problems are not
exactly big league are they?
You are just moaning and winging - we Brits are good at that - makes us
feel better. Your missive is basically a rant - illustrating problems but
offering no solutions. Anyone can do that. I can choose any topic and point
out problems with it. If the problems are that bad do something about them.
If the problems are so bad for you in this country do something about that
rather than just ranting on about leaving. Maybe the real reason the
majority don't want to do anything is because life ain't so bad after all.
>..... None of them care about the firearms crime in this country
>or the people who are killed
Who are they? Do you care about firearms crime in this country or the
people who get killed? Of course not - unless you know any of the victims
individually you don't give a flying fig any more than 'they' do. You are
effectively part of 'them'. You say you are going over to Florida soon. Do
you care about the crime rates and poverty in that state?
Why do you think the UK is a waste of space? In the top 10 wealthiest on
the planet. Moderate climate, relatively free, stable, civilized,
democratic and full of opportunity. There are probably better but there are
a hell of a lot worse. I get the impression you have spent all your life
here using the system to make a living - if it is so bad why are you still
here talking about going - why haven't you gone already?
Is there something better? Up to us isn't it, not them (who the hell are
they anyway???)
