Re: I'm trying to like the USA

I'd be fine in Oz as long as the following types of human scum were a minority:

- Gun toting maniacs who still seek to purchase automatic / semi-automatic weapons just days after 20 children were...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

In a way you're both right. Unfortunately, the right to bear arms is so entrenched in the American way of life that even many hardcore liberals are reluctant to make too many changes to gun laws. ...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

Sometimes it feels like I just got off the proverbial boat yesterday, but I've been here for 10 years.

Volunteering is somewhat out of the question at the moment as I work 6 days a week, so I'm...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

Well I would like to surround muself with a similar crowd. I agree with your points though. Those are the same issues with living here that I struggle with. I can deal with the cultural...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

Wanting to avoid family members has nothing to do with the UK itself. They just happen to live there. I regularly defend the UK and generally like far more than I dislike about it.

Misery? ...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

Which posts? I wasn't unhappy in the UK. Perhaps you're confusing me with someone else, are just confused or trolling?

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

It's a bone-chilling 55 degrees here in South FL. Not cold by my standards, but it's always amusing to see Floridians dressed as if they were in the midst of an arctic winter.

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

I've never been anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere. No burning desire to, but that's not to say I wouldn't give it a shot, should the opportunity arise. The time difference between Oz and the UK...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

I agree. Florida is a toilet. I cannot argue with any of your (valid) points. I am kicking myself for returning here from the comparative sanity and normalcy of Massachusetts; 4 seasons of the...

Masshole :)

Actually the drivers in MA pale in comparison to the drivers here in South FL. My only real issue with driving in / around Boston was the poorly lit highways (or not lit at all) and...

Indeed.

One thing life has taught me is to always leave an open door behind you and never burn bridges.

Yep, having 2 passports and the right to live on 2 continents can't be bad!

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

I still am trying, believe it or not (hence the thread). I haven't completely girl up on the US just yet, but I'd be lying if I said that it's not a major struggle.

Some people clearly don't know...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

Truly remarkable that immigrants would reminisce and miss certain aspects of their birth country. But of course, you've already figured out the sole reason for that, utilizing your infinite wisdom.

Go back to playing WoW. You suck @ trolling mate. Just friendly advice. You are also in no position to tell a moderator what to do, despite your corny attempts at humour. You are about as funny...

The voice of reason of BE speaks.

I seriously feel like flying to Oz just to have a few beers with you and put the world to rights.

Cool Re: I'm trying to like the USA

I would definitely be up for trying it out. That or Maine or Vermont. I've lived in New England before and liked it, aside from the crap job & marriage.

May well book a trip to Seattle next...

Re: I'm trying to like the USA

The quality of care here is high. Cancer survival rates are among the highest in the world, but that's IF you can afford it. I'd rather have affordable healthcare myself, rather than a plethora of...

Re: Housing in Boston - Renting vs Buying

As I recall, Watertown isn't the easiest of places to get to (a recruiter warned me about it when I applied for a job there).

I liked Somerville a lot. It has easy access to the T, a great...

Understandable. It's definitely far better to put all into making it work when you've a family. It's also not going to be quite the same UK as the one we left behind. Those events in Belfast...
