well you know, you can get answers to all of your questions and more by visiting this link
Not sure why all of these questions, especially in the consuming alcohol part, (life has bigger and more important issues) but to each their own. *makes another bag of yummy American pop corn and slowly eats it while reading this and other threads, in Colombia* , where its still (amazingly and disappointingly) believed and rumored that we only have a cloth pieces to cover our lower backs and nothing else. And of course is not true.
ah, right. If you have been to other countries just as your post says, why keep asking here when you can form your own opinion?

Well one very important difference between America and the Uk is that  in Britain when someone asks the same question over and over and over again they are more likely to get a somewhat sarcastic, but still probably polite response. For example, when asked the same question over and over and over again, a typical English person would probably reply by giving an example of how being asked over and over and over again would lead to a sarcastic answer which sighted how irritating being asked the same question over and over and over again happened to be, and likely repeated the words over and over and over again just to hammer home the point that the question had been asked over and over and over again, and being asked over and over and over again was very annoying indeed!

In America, I expect the typical response to being asked something over and over and over again would be more straight forward, more like "this is really annoying! stop doing that!"

So Jonikster, since it seems an important part of your life to ask the same question over and over and over again, you need to decide which is better, a long and sarcastic response, or a short and snappy one?

If you like long and sarcastic responses such as this one, I suggest Britain, if you prefer short and snappy responses, I suggest America, however if you want to actually stop irritating people and get some useful information, I suggest stop asking this question so much and bloody well do! something about it, like actually live in Britain or America for a bit and see how you find it!

so, Jonikster. I thought a lot about how to answer this topic. I think the best thing for you would be to contact someone who knows all about these directly, and wouldn't mind helping you. everyone would be better off that way. I think one such person that wouldn't mind helping you, is Ethin. I'll put a link to his profile, so you can private message him through the forums, and go from there. PS. I really hope things will work out for you.

oh, the glorious 80s, which made us quite famous for that. Nowadays is boring.. we export mostly  textiles, and star athletes (but mostly cyclists and swimmers) too bad life  was not like it used to be before here, lol

Well, the so called armed forces have stopped being a problem a couple years ago. Now is corruption that has us all screwed.  So there is a very low class and a very rich class and the middle class thins out rather fast. Its almost like what you have read about Venezuela but with its own unique twist... in personality, ironies, and humor that you would grasp if you would come here for some days.

Coffee... well yeah, there is lots of it, though Brazil still has the best aroma.
I think though we do have the biggest variety and sometimes most pungent fruit available.. that is a luxury I missed a lot in the U.s.

In regards to the mountains... yes there are many but not for climbing, mostly for industrial transportation type things and much of the glaciate portions there were are being destroyed by deforestation, thanks to the immense industrial and technological revolution we have (would you believe some people here would skip lunch because they are saving for an apple cell phone?)
My friends are great climbers, I suck. lol

I like the British attitude usually, kind of fits in with me, though y'all's humor doesn't at all translate. I mean, I've watched some, and its... well ironic OK but not funny. Now Ricky Gervais, that mofo funny as heyll.

speaking of smoking, I've never tried cigarettes, or weed. I'm 18 now, and those have never attracted me. I doubt they will either, now. I tried alcohol here and there, while I'm not against drinking on occasions, I didn't enjoy that thus far, so not happening for now.

ok I guess you'll never quit asking so if you want to learn all you need to know about England:

UltraLeetJ,
I've been to other countries. But not for the purpose of travel. I was because of my vision.
Guitarman,
About the girls. I'm not interested in sex, if you're talking about it. Drunk girls excite me.
I don't want to talk about it. I just want to say that in the UK it's easier as I understand it.
Guys, I talked with the British, and with the Americans. If there is a person here who was in these two countries, he will understand the complexity of my choices I think.

@Jonikster, I! am an English person who has spent time in the states since I'm marreid to an American, and I've already answered your questions in the god knows how many times you've posted this topic before. Since you obviously did not listen to those answers as you keep asking the same question, why should I, or indeed anyone else answer this question again?

@Guitarman, Actually there are! blind lawyers in Britain (my brother is one), even blind judges, and in fact a blind lawyers society, though god help you if you actually want to find a training contract these days and be employed even if you have the correct qualifications.

I haven't asked my brother specifically, but I suspect that in reality the need to tell weather someone is lying etc is not half as involved in legal representation as crime writers would have you think, indeed when my brother did criminal law he often said his job was not to "defend" the defendant or literally prove their innocence, but rather to make sure that the police had done their! job properly and arrested and charged the right person.

Like a lot of things, I suspect legal fiction rather over dramatises.

Then again, sadly since the government stopped free legal aid, the bottom has dropped out of employment  in criminal law, so a lot of solicitors had to change specialisation, my brother for example went into employment law instead (which he says is probably not all that different from criminal, accept that there your playing far more games against the other side).

As regards drugs and drunkenness, a good, and very weird friend of mine who has taken literally everything its possible to take without dying or becoming fatally addicted (he's even taken magic mshrooms and horse tranquillisers), absolutely hates! co-cane with a passion.

he says C-cane itself makes people so over confident and aggressive, people on co-cane are nasty to be around, indeed he said that taking co-cane is a sure fire way to lose all of your friends, which is why that's one drug he doesn't touch.

Weed on the other hand?

Myself I'd never smoke anything because I don't want to risk my voice, but with said good friend of mine, I have occasionally done a bit of weed dissolved in cream or butter and added to coffee to form an authentic dune style Coffee with melange .

Its not a thing I'd do every week or even every month, but once in a while its a nice thing to have, I particularly love listening to baroque music while stoned .

I actually much prefer weed to alcohol, and really don't drink much at all (just the odd liqueur or a good whisky now and then), though I have never been so drunk I blacked out or had a hangover since the feeling of being drunk just isn't a pleasant one to me.

This makes me rather atypical, given that going to the pub and getting drunk is sort of the standard method of social interaction for most adults in Britain, lol.

Myself I'm less keen on being around drunks of either gender, since loud brainless people have never been my choice of company, again though whatever is your poison.

@Ironcross interesting you mention British humour. Ricky Gervais, is someone I really don't like, I just find him pathetic and rather depressing. I much prefer the classics like Blackadder.

Interestingly enough, Mrs. Dark has said she's always had a fondness for British humour, at first I didn't really know what she meant, however then she started to point it out to me, a tendency to take the surreal at face value or come out with absolutely dry off the cuff sarcastic comments (like my above post), indeed she has had some troubles working out sometimes when my dad is joking or not .

I think its probably one of these things that I just got used to so didn't overly classify it as "british" or even "english" .

I think whenever one of these topics come up that its the same question asked for like the 59th time or so, we should just hijack it and just start telling the weirdest stories from our lives and stuff.

@jonikster, the problem with that idea is that you keep! and keep! asking these same questions over and over, you keep bringing up the same topics over and over, so we have no! choice but to read it, since its number one on the topics list. And yes, putting "I find drunk girls exciting...." leave that off your citizen application or job application. Please. Next thing you know we'll be seeing on news: "Today a man attempted to file a citizenship application to become a US citizen, says the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. "At the bottom, in the comments section," writes one of the members in an open letter, "he wrote, 'I find drunk girls exciting'." It leaves us reporters wondering if this guy is mentally insane or crazy. Stay tuned for more!" OK, not the most inventive news report but...
