As a Brit who moved from the UK to Texas, USA, I can tell you its Awesome.. .
The USA is much more open to change (being a relatively new country/culture itself).
If they get something wrong, they are not adverse to changing it, where as in the Uk you have to fight years and years of institutionalism.. People in the UK resist change.
In the US you can critiscise something and its taken positively.
In the UK, people keep quite and the moan about it when you get home.
The US is very service orientated, people 'want' to provide you a service..
Obviously there are exceptions to many rules in the US, but having travelled across many of the mainland states over the last 20 years or so, the US has so much more to offer.
The medical system can suck a bit though. If you don't have the money, you are stuck. Providing you are earning an average wage you can live a great life in the US.
The great diversity of culture and religion in the US will be its success.
(I'm back in the UK right now, but hope to move back to the US sometime this year).

From what my Indian friends have told me, it's a lot like living in their country. Except there's a little less corruption in government (I doubt it's much less, but the stuff they say happens there just doesn't happen much here). They say they like it here, that the people are nice (I think that depends on where you live -- the country is diverse), and the traffic is much better. They said they didn't like how it gets cold here, or how there aren't many street vendors. What got me was that it only gets down to about freezing here in Louisiana, and not too often as of late.
I don't know how else to describe it, because I haven't traveled much. I guess it's just like living anywhere else. Paved roads almost everywhere, houses, office buildings in some parts, stores. We aren't all rich though, I can tell you that! Good night!

sometimes good. a lot of wide open spaces if you really don't want to be around people, diverse areas if you do. Your first poster just showed the bad. but it's pretty nice. depends on your ethnicity as well. For some I'd say also look into Canada or Australia. Obviously if you're Asian, i wouldn't be so quick to suggest Australia.

I imagine you ask that because of President Bush. Not everyone voted for him, but he is in office.. His views and actions do not reflect all the people that make up the USA. Were all Germans bad when Hitler was in power? Do all the Iraqi people deserve to hang like Saddam? Of course not.

It is probably like any other industrial nation. We have daily routines of work, usually 8 to 10 hrs a day. Our children participate in sports, go to libraries to do their school homework, we are blessed to usually have 3 meals a day. Our grocery stores are always stocked with fresh produce, fruits, vegetables, breads of all kinds, and we have many choices of meats in which to eat--chicken, pork, beef, lamb & wild game, too. We worship on Sunday's in the churches of our choice without government interference. We have freedoms to openly express ourselves in public without penalty. We can agree to disagree. Our freedoms are precious to us and are the foundation to which our routines are based. We have the right to travel from state-to-state, establish businesses and markets, and in our leisure we enjoy outdoor or indoor activities for various reasons. We have shortcomings like any other society, but what sets us a part from other nations is our liberty.
