I'm not from UK and I actually have lived in US before..
My dad would swear by UK as he got his degree from oxford and loved the university life but I've been there a couple of times and I personally think london is a dump (only place I've been)... the airport is just way too dirty and the city is not much better.. plus all the cameras make me feel like a superstar!
Canada Remember! if you ever need an invite just ask. again, it does not take a person to live there to understand its problems.. it just takes an educated person.
notice how instead of giving any counter arguments to our findings of deficiencies within the country, you are instead giving the irrational line of "well you don't live here." no I don't and I admire your nationalism but either come up with better responds, accept the truth or let it go and live the dream .
what ever you do, don't be like this guy!
Quote: | Lying to Ourselves: Cognitive Dissonance
One might begin to suspect that people must be pretty good at either ignoring their own feelings, beliefs and desires, or flat out lying to themselves (and getting away with it). In a classic 1959 experiment psychologists designed an experiment with level upon level of deceit to see just how much a person will ignore their own experience, even to the point of helping to convince someone else of something they know is not true.
The human capacity for sustaining cognitive dissonance has since been confirmed in many other well-designed experiments. This capacity is linked closely with our desire to join and fit in with a group, adjusting our own values and beliefs about things to align with those of others. Perhaps, knowing about these propensities, we can learn to avoid believing our own lies too much. |

but our weed is easier to come by! (not that I ever smoke)
I love cali... half of my family lives by pacific between L.A and San Diego. I lived in Newport with my uncle for 5 months and I loved it. thinking of buying a million dollar house for 200k somewhere by the beach soon. just waiting for the prices to get lower a bit more. who knows if I have enough money left over from my purchase in Miami maybe I can buy two in cali.. _________________
