I understand your point, TheBlueOne, but trying living in the UK and growing up poor, but then getting a great education, trying to run a business and earn a living but constantly being wedged in between the hopeless violent drinking classes and the elitist upper-middle classes who are the only ones with any access to capital or a decent chance of owning a house, THEN decide 'fuck this' and fuck off somewhere where despite there being huge problems, there is still a hope in hells chance of making something in a country where hard work and talent are celebrated, and where, of the people that actually know or care anything about the place, there is still brazen hope and a willingness to do something about it. [sips water].
For better or worse, the fate of everyone in the world from the sheik on a gold camel, to a Ghanaian orphan rests with the US and if you're here and you have a chance to make it a better place then you're kind of obliged, given your tremendously privileged place in history to make a go of it, rather than jump ship. Stick it out my friend - at least giving a shit will help in some way.- well putDUKIE0822
