another one of my crazy plans

Just out of curiosity, why are you guys moving back?

seconded..

unless the UK goes through some seriously dramatic socio-political unheavals, i'm not interested in coming back

Oh, you musta missed the news that America is in a HUGE recession now....and it's not like our leader is a bright one....

i'm more interested in a socio-revolution that an economical one - british people nowadays seem totally beaten down until you get them on BBC's Have Your Say, then they turn into complete winging xenophobes. we are unable to stand up for our rights when it counts, whereas americans stand up for their rights loudly.

as far as the recession goes, at the moment its fairly limited, especially compared to what the UK is about to pile into (in my opinion). but then anyone who's been watching house prices over the last 5 years already knows whats happening.

When the $ -> £ gets to be $2.50, then will you believe we are in a recession? Or when we bomb Iran? Or when another million illegals stream across the border in 2008 to take your tax dollars away? Or when America elects a bible banging sexist president?

Does all that still make America a BETTER PLACE TO LIVE?

Just asking. America is not nirvana, nor is the UK. They both have their pluses & minuses. But I really get annoyed when people act like bigger everything (land, cars, food, waistlines, ignorance) is the best.
