Sorry Chris I could not sit through her ramblings to watch the whole video.

Lol - we seem to have a lot of Americans who have moved to the UK for work or study who find our systems so different from the the US ones - especially on healthcare and policing. They also often comment that the picture of the UK that is painted back in the US is a lie.

Likewise the other way around, and I know that from chatting with you.

How come we see lots of instagram "videos" of Americans in the UK talking about the UK but never any by Brits in the US talking about the US?

Now here is one that is absolutely true - Britain in the past  - I lived through this and experienced all the things shown in this video  :'(

I was born on 1957 & my parent's house in Newark, NJ was probably built in the 30's or 40's had radiators in most of the rooms so never had to deal with no heat. We did have to deal with drafty single pane windows & temperamental glass screw-in fuses that would blow if we turned on to many of the window A/C units in the Summer. Dad always kept a supply by the fuse box in the basement.

I don't see instigram vids because I don't instigram. I only gab because I can say whatever I want without being banned. 

I really have no want to travel over there and say anything myself. The entire world and society in general is messed up regardless of which part of the world you stand.

I didn't watch the video or read the article you posted. There is no one article or video that could persuade me one way or another. It's part of the reason people are like they are, the videos of dying children and bloody harp seals and buildings being destroyed that sometimes are 15 years old, re published to jerk tears and invoke emotions. It only happens over here because of Obama repealing the smith-mundt act, or more accurately passed the "Modernization act". Because as everyone well knows, all old values must be flushed and people need to keep up with the times.

I believe what I experience. I felt the fake fuel crisis in the 70s. I saw the fake global ice age and global warming. I saw the implosion of non related buildings on 9-11. I saw the side of a building being blown up to hide evidence that would have convicted the secretary of state. I saw leaders taken out because of their opposing beliefs to the mainstream. I see things now that I understand all too well and understand better because I turned the TV off decades ago.
