Lets see - Uk = 1st world - Bahamas = 3rd world - there is no comparison anyway.. Bahamas has its pros, but its not tax.

I pay the government £100 ($200) a month in council(housing) tax to be allowed to live in my apartment. This is where the Olympics will be held in 2012. You can't buy a 1 bedroom around here for less than £100,000 ($200,000). It's the only place I can afford to live in London at the moment. Three weeks ago I watched two asian kids stab a guy (apparently for a laugh) as he was coming out of the fast food chicken shop on the main road at the end of my road. I can spot about 3 crack whores at the end of my street as I'm typing this. Thats also where a girls mother, brother and father was murdered in the middle of the sreet with sub-machine guns, in the middle of the day last year over a parking dispute. What do you see at the end of yours? Your'e welcome to come and let me show you around my 1st world any time you want.
Not saying that it's all a loss. I really like alot of things about England (all non-financial) but if I had American citizenship right now, I would probably be making plans to move there.


Well buddy, dont always think that the grass is greener on the other side. I live here in America and most places are a **** hole except if you want to pay real high rent and the like...As far as the expenses they are high too. all i feel I am working for are bills and taxes, with nothing for me!

Put it this way, my living expenses here are three times of what they are in Long Island. My rent is a grand a month, and I live in NE philly. And when did you live in NY? I know people who live in NYC who are making $60,000/year out of college and their parents have to still help them. Beat that!

Yeah, I am in a really high tax bracket, with almost zero deductions. But how do you know that I don't have to pay rent in Long Island. But I did think about moving to south philly, but with the price of gas now... it ent worth it.

where you diggin these old posts up from dreaddy ..??
and what war do you speak of that wasnt already there ..


I have access to "the source", :D.

Haven't you been following up on the real reasons for the war in Iraq? They're even trying the same foolishness with Iran. They simply don't have a case, but they try to ring whosoever arms they can to give them support... Why aren't they bothering India or North korea? India has recently and publicly made steps to enhance their nuclear might...

Bush said that, “If hypocrisy was a crime, the jails would be full”... He said that as an excuse for the obvious two-facedness of his administration on many subjects.

Actually India and North Korea are real threats to America. (dey runnin' scared ;)) I believe they are trying to save face by bullying the nations that they still can bully.

Oh by the way, North Korea was deemed a hostile state by America until they (NK) publicized that they already have nukes.

Well I know some of them does smoke pot but still, yeah I agree it is a problem that your parents still have to support their kids after they graduate college. But it's common nowadays, the bills are just overwhelming.
