USA. Will be there in the fall.
Another generalisation, but UK spends too much money on F**kwits and scumbags. Country is going to the dogs.....
Kids don't seem to have any respect for adults etc. etc. etc.
US has problems too, but they have a good Constitution which means a good deal to most of them. How can you knock a dynamic young country and all they've achieved in such a short history. And we're all their relatives!! Yee ha.

I'm American, but have been to the U.K.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages as well as myths.
A few of the more popular myths...
U.K
Drink all the time and watch football
There isn't any crime
Good free medical care
U.S.
Everyone has a gun.
Everyone supports Bush
Society is obsessed with religion
High crime
No money, no health care
In truth our cultures are more similar than either side would like to admit. Both sides have crime, drunks and someone in office they don't care for.
The real major differences between the two is space, cost of living, and health care.
The cost of living is much cheaper in the U.S. no matter how you cut it.
The size of the two countries also makes a big difference. If you are in the U.K. land is in high demand, so homes are smaller. However being in such a small country, you can easily travel to other countries for holiday. There is no question about the size of the U.S., depending on where you choose to live you can get a nice piece of land and a large house for the price of a small flat in the U.K. Also the landscape and culture are very derverse, so there is a lot to see and experience with out ever leaving the country.
As to medical... one could write a book on the pros and cons of the two systems.
For me the choice is easy... the U.S. however I still like visiting our overseas cousins. ;-)

I live in the USA right now, but with the way things are going, I would prefer to live in the UK.

UK, much more freedom to express yourself. I've been to the States a few times and always got the distinct impression that people paid far too much attention to what other people thought of them. Course, thats a generalisation, but I didnt feel as able to walk down the street in, for example, a historical outfit or a silly hat as I would over here

I've only visited the USA, but certainly wouldn't want to live there!
Heck they had Newcastle Brown Ale on tap (Good), serving it ice cold (very bad). All the other real ales were also ice cold, which in my book is blasphemy!
FAo uncle Roj, I'm a Baggie!

UK definately. Wouldn't like to live in a society obsessed with religion and surrounded by guns.

The UK
I would like to go to the US for a visit but I think I would feel safer in the UK there are guns about, but they are illegal and thankfully rare.

Absolutely the UK, won't even go into the reasons, they're just too obvious.
