It must be really shit to live in America and I genuinely feel sorry for all Americans.

its not their fault their standard of living is so low, they are the ones stupid enough to vote for politicians who will suck corporate dick or whine about "muh jesus" rather than work for their people.

but i am sure the veil of freedom that their guns give them helps them pretend they are not one of the most cucked nations on earth.

>>66471658
yea it's totally not their fault, that's why I feel sorry for them

they haven't really had much choice though, you get fucked if you don't do it their way

>>66471942

so do you really think the presidential election will make a difference?

i think they put too much stock in the idea of massive changes from trump or sanders because they won't change anything.

i suppose the fact they live in a desperate situation will make them gullible enough to believe it though.

I could say the same thing to you.

Our education system is beyond a joke, I ended up having to go the "industry recognised" route due to the sqa and their ever dropping standards, I had to pay for the only decent certificate I got.

If you've ever been to a private hospital you would know why bragging about our NHS isn't the smartest move, its filthy, slow and full of incompetent twats.

Glasgow was at one point and probably still is the heart attack capitol of Europe.

Getting stabbed in inner city areas is a genuine concern if you have a brain in your head, personally I'd rather get shot to death than stabbed, though I take it you're an expert on this subject and probably know better.

I take it you're an SNP voter? you seem like one.
>>
>>66473162
There is a clear margin in the standard of life area makes then. Where the fuck are you where this happens? I went straight from 6th year to a full time uni course which was paid for by SAAS.

Like holy shit, the best thing about Scotland is its education. I bet you dropped out and made no effort.

And nope, I don't vote in local elections and I voted no.

Toppest of keks m8. Look at the figures, our education standards are beyond a joke, everybody needs to get their trophy degree.

As for not applying myself, I think you'll find most uni's base their 3rd and 4th year networking courses on the CCNA, something I already had when I signed up for uni, that's just unacceptable.

and yet my kid is going to get a chance to study law at st andrews now when i could never have afforded it before.

>If you've ever been to a private hospital you would know why bragging about our NHS isn't the smartest move, its filthy, slow and full of incompetent twats

firstly most private hospitals are shared with the nhs i would point out that if you have ever paid prem,iums for private healthcare in the us you wouldn't find them so lovely.

>Glasgow was at one point and probably still is the heart attack capitol of Europe.

which appears to be a health complain brought about by overactive immune systems caused by living in cramped tenements and passed down to new generations.

>Getting stabbed in inner city areas is a genuine concern if you have a brain in your head, personally I'd rather get shot to death than stabbed, though I take it you're an expert on this subject and probably know better.

as someone who has recieved both i can state that you don't know what you are talking about. i spent less time in hospital, less time being rehabbed and had less problems with infection from my stab would to the gut than my bullet wound to the thigh.

>I take it you're an SNP voter? you seem like one.

irrelevant, i am a labour supporter, my mum is a lib dem and my dad is a tory and we all agree on this.
>>
On the other hand I'm in great health, can easily learn from the wealth of free knowledge available through the internet and libraries, material comforts are cheap, and when all is said and done I am proud of my cultural background.

Yeah the ship is going down now but I know I got my time in when it was good.

Living in the US is pretty chill, though international travel is even more chill.

I've always thought the same about the UK. It sounds rainy, crime ridden, ethnically impure and miserable.

Apparently the food is gross both takeaway, restaurant and cuisine wise. The women are all promiscuous slags and the society gets more multiracial as time goes on.

Don't you like warm sunny days? I know I do. I'd never move to somewhere rainy, miserable and depressing.

What? Life is short, meaning that it goes by quickly. How do you not get that?

Scotland complaining about someone being fat?

Tell me, are there any foods you don't deem it appropriate to batter.

Also, the fact Buckfast exists points to an overall lack of intellect north of the boarder.

Definitely in comparison to Australia the weather is freezing, house sizes are small, you have less access to fresh foods than we do and your cuisine is oily, draconian and stale. No thanks.

Also your culture varies on where you go but the class system is hilarious. Not only that but UnitedKucks go from awkward to awkwardly aggressive.

No thanks.

How sour are those grapes of yours, Nigel? The image you get of Americans is about as accurate and evenly spread as the images of chavs we get from Britain. The only thing that you said that holds water is our disgusting obesity rate, and you're right behind us there, so I wouldn't get too excited.

weather is colder than oz, got me on that too.

Oh. How easy or hard is it to obtain a scholarship? Is it just funding for your university tuition fees?

Scholarships are often painted as difficult to obtain, but they really aren't. I have about five form essays I copy and paste into the applications, making a few minor changes to fit specific requirements. Many scholarships don't even receive applications, so basically all you have to do is sign up for them. The thing is, most people are simply too lazy to do it.

As far as school, I go to the university of Washington, which has some of the lowest tuition rates around. On top of their already low rates, they also offer a program to pay tuition for students "in need." Basically, all I did was cut my work hours back so I make under $30,000 a year - which I would have had to do anyways to get decent grades - and they take all my grant money ("free" college money that most students get paid towards their tuition, disbursed based on income) and don't charge me anything else. All I have to pay for is books. All in all, it's a pretty sweet deal, especially given that my gf is paying all the bills for me.
>>
>>66476738
Oh, sorry, I missed the second part of your question. Scholarship money goes directly to the student, for use with any "school related" expenses. It's a very broad definition that allows me to use it to pay for food, my phone, my motorcycle, and any other bills I may have. All the income I make at work is disposable.
>>
>>66478272
woah you're in basically the same position I'm in

sorry 'murca

>You have to pay a shit cunt fucking lot of money for further education
I'll give you this one, but tons of scholarships for the brightest.
>You gotta pay for medical insurance and treatment costs
Only if you're unemployed. Also, what's your income tax percentage?
>Everyone fat af
You're not too far behind.
>You literally walk out the front door and get shot
Only if you live in Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, West Palm Beach or Brooklyn. Everywhere else you can at least walk a block before getting shot.

Eh, it's not the best nation to live in, but it sure hell beats a lot of other nations.
