    If you have something sensible to add, then go ahead and add it. Who am I to stop you? [​IMG]

    It's not done at all. I live in Europe and it is more than just fine. Crime and violence are far lower than they are in the US. People are sane and descent. It's much nicer here than in the States.

    To be honest, I didn't even think about that. I was thinking it was all about the long cold winters. I've been to Oklahoma. I imagine the northern plains to be worse.

    I'm from a London Borough with a higher population than Montana.

    Or, something like that.

    Maybe it's Wyoming?
    Maybe it's Croydon and Lambeth combined?
    But it's like 12 miles Vs. however big Montana (or Wyoming) is.

    675, 845 is the population of Croydon and Lambeth combined... (Thank you Internet) - That's more than all the people Wyoming put together.
    And Wyoming's bigger than the entire UK.

    Not really. We have this idea of freedom. That's the problem.

    I don't know what booze culture means. We have a changing culture. I don't think the UK is used to that. You've gotten a taste of it with the immigrants and you removed yourselves from the EU. I figured that's what the folks who remember the UKs greatness would do.

    Everyone else is the type of person who gets the ice cream they asked for, then sees another kid with a different kind and cries till they get it and theirs is thrown out. Then, they complain they don't like it and were forced by their parents to eat it.

    Let's say there's 7 miles between me and Big Ben/Houses of Parliament.
    In those 7 miles I probably pass more people from here to there than there is people in states bigger than my entire country.
    That's more than freedom, that's remote.

    Yeah well, I'm from it/live it/get to come home back to it.

    I guess I was never meant to experience the great outdoors.

    I have thought of where I live like an ant farm and I'm an ant and the sky is that glass window looking in.

    America's great though, can own a gun, less socialism...
    and Manhattan took me by surprise as it felt like being back in London to me.
    .. I didn't even get that in Philadelphia.

    It was seeing how much alike London and New York City was which opened my eyes to my hometown/London.

    I mean, I had heard the term world city, but when you're from one and travel the world and find yourself in another one, then you come home wondering 'What's UK, what's London?' - It's like NYC is not like America, London is not like the UK...
    I was 14 when I went to Manhattan.

    Example, shops; Birmingham, Bournemouth; I've witnessed these English cities pretty much die at 6 pm when everything closes in fact, Birmingham's Digbeth reminded me of London's West Norwood only like a ghost town at 6 pm...
    I got back to West Norwood that night, like midnight, busy, things open, how I like it.
    Like coming back to London Victoria too at midnight from somewhere else in England, I get the feeling of being both 'home' and the temptation to go shopping at night.
    When I went to Bournemouth, same thing, 6, 7 pm, closed, back in Thornton Heath around midnight/1 am, busy, things open.

    Am I glad I'm from London? that depends, am I glad I have late night shopping and eating; yeah.
    Then throw in all that other stuff, like science, art, culture and popular music, and I'm home.

    We need some stats. Criminality isn't quantified by religion in official data but I believe the Ministry of Justice will lump Arabs in the Asian category.

    When you look at that, per capita and judging by average length of sentence, it's still blacks being convicted for the most serious crimes most disproportionately.
