Everything I heard about the UK makes me feel ever so slightly better about living in the US
Well yeah because you only hear the bad things. Everything I hear about the US makes me feel slightly better about living in the UK. How are those school shootings going?
Every country has its pros & cons
They don't affect me because I'm a childless adult.
I said slightly better, I wasn't trying to get in a pissing match. We have a huge amount of preventable tragedies, yes, but the surveillance the UK is implementing, and their curbing of free speech and protests, are two areas that would have a profound effect on how I live my life. Ergo, I feel slightly better.
I'm sorry if I insulted your favorite government.
