    LOL, much respect man, but Terrible did have a point, that is a little bad, and kinda adding weight to the ignorant accusation many have. UK and US have a lot of history that has largely formed them to what they have today, I knew from a young age and most do here, that the US is much bigger than the UK. Props for admitting it though it's all good, your only 21 I guess.

    Step bro's going to Texas next month for a year, he's fitness mad, slim, into Rugby, a little Hugh Grant esk with very dry English sense of humour, lol he must be mad. We are well over populated esp in past 10 years with Labour, something I really hate. Oz has the land size of Europe, yet the population of 1/3rd of tiny Britain, now that is immense, I'll take that place over either any day.
    lol, I understand. I've always known that England is physically smaller but TBH i never compared the 2 and once again, i know nothing about the population, geography, etc.
    I guess I had a brain fart with that ****in post, it should've just been an automatic assumption.

      if mccain somehow finds his way into office, the UK gets a serious consideration, if they prove to be a better place than canada.

        I would imagine that most people know that the UK pop is smaller, but how can anyone say "it's common sense, just look at a map"? Canada's population is half that of the UK, even though Canada is far bigger.
        That was my exact train of thought. Thank you for that. Some people just jump at the slightest opportunity to bash someone.

              Valid aswell, but the UK and US are more well known powers in the world, the UK with much more history and interlinked together, so most in one are more aware of the other, as opposed to some other country relationships. Perhaps not living in either isn't quite so bad, but even then I still think most by far realise the population difference of 2 such key countries. Especially with Britain's massive history in the world and with the US. Britain was the worlds biggest empire of a time, owned the most land, the biggest super power, had loads of close history with the US. A few lessons or programs on the massive world events of WW2 and its made clear the population differences.

                  UK for me, have come to dislike so many things of the two, mostly due to the Bush and Blair era and so many being fooled by it. Same Governments are still in place, but the formers worse for me.

                  I love America in so many ways, and could live in a couple of states. People are more friendly (although some say some are insincerely amiable). But I love Britain for all it's querks and flaws, afterawhile you just get it. Like Terrible I also hate the amount of guns we have on our streets as it is, let alone it multiplied.

                  Rizo were you asking does England have less people than the US, I wasn't sure!?![/QUOTE]

                  lol, yea I was. I have no idea if you guys are packed like a can of sardines. Terrible could've just said "Yes, there are many many more people in the US" then he goes off and bashes me as if I've ever claimed to know the slightest ****in thing about England or Europe. I'll be the first to admit I dont know anything about you guys over there (which is why you'll often see me ask questions regarding your culture, etc. etc.)
                  u dont have to have a degree in history to know that answer to that question though u make it sound like u have to be familiar with Britain as country and its history to realise that they have a far smaller population when in reallity it is common knowledge

                  i would have answered your question straight off the bat but i did not know u were so oblivious to such an obvious fact that is common knowledge to most poeple including most other American posters on this forum
