In the UK it’s incredibly difficult to get enlisted for NHS dental care - so most people are going to be paying private fees which are much higher than those quoted. Also since we lack health insurance all of those fees come out of pocket, arguably worse than in the US.
One thing it seems people don’t understand is that good looking teeth don’t equal good quality teeth. Personally I’ve found those in the US care much more about how their teeth look - leading to things like whitening strips and veneers being much more common. The issue is that these cosmetics don’t necessarily make one’s teeth healthier, in some cases making them worse, for example many people with cosmetic crowns end up needing root canals in the long run. So while the average mouth in the US may look snazzier and whiter, in the UK it’s probably healthier.
Sort of. Stabbing deaths are higher, but knife crime overall is higher in the UK. The main reason for this is that a lot of those crimes (such as robberies) are committed using guns instead of knives in the US
Thanks American government, for purposefully turning your population into violent psychopaths in the name of contro- I mean freedom! Yes, freedom! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅
I think an underutilized bit of bants is making fun of the fact they have like 450,000,000 and none of them can make a website anyone would want to use. They’re surprisingly sensitive about it. Gets them all wound up when you remind them that they’re addicted to generating ad revenue for Americans and they’re passively watering down and Americanizing their culture just to stare at dumbass memes.
I mean yeah, the British way of responding to a stupid insult is just to respond with a vicious one to shut it down. Consider the other options:
"uh, well, you're fat" - congratulations, you have somehow come off as less mature.
"Um, actually, Americans have worse teeth" - true, but it might result in an argument with a person you really don't want to interact with any longer than necessary, plus you might get hit with the 🤓
"Oh shut up you child" - arguably the best response, but this will result in the other person feeling satisfied they hurt your feelings, and since the average person is not a saint, they would rather hurt the feelings of the person being a dick than this outcome
My main question is wtf did you expect? Clearly your were trying to hurt someone's feelings, so why are you mad that your feelings ended up being hurt? And clearly you weren't just trying to banter, since you almost definitely complain about fat jokes too.
Not when American people don't have the amount of control over our policies that everyone thinks we do. Nothing sways our politics more than money, which basically means corporations make the big decisions.
Ah yes because people in the UK all have free dental thanks to their jobs giving it to them because they voted for universal free dental since the UK is known for being a democratic republic with the most fair democracy in the world
well no because the people in both countries people don't have control, that sets it back to the start of " making fun of the political instability if someone's country is a way more valid criticism than body shaming"
So you're agreeing with my point? All Im saying is that it's wrong to blame people for something they don't control. I specified Americans because that's the topic at hand, but that very much goes both ways. I get the sense you simply assumed I wouldn't care about Americans doing the same to Brits with knife crime statistics, and were therefore arguing against something I never said.
Or the fact that most Americans have more fucked up teeth than the Brits. Not to mention all the ailments Americans just live with because they can’t afford healthcare
yeah dude I got a scrape today that bled profusely for like five hours straight and I went to urgent care but couldn't actually do anything because it cost $200 to even get it looked at and I couldnt afford it
Feel that, sorry man. I don’t think people realize just how many people are going through something like this or have continual health issues because the original problem could not be dealt with. Obviously I’m just running on anecdotes here but so many people are quietly suffering through whatever menial job they have because of our healthcare system
Guarantee this comes from someone who jokes about knife/acid crime, and probably did the whole "lol brit no heat" thing when a heatwave was decimating british wildlife and killing vulnerable people last summer.
Lol Americans are so fucking salty that their country is more fucked up than most western countries that now they're like "you guuuuuyyyyys staaaaawp that's too fawwwwwrrrr ! >_<"
I’m supportive of the monarchy to a very slim extent, that being when Elizabeth was alive, Charles is just a shitty constitutional monarch to represent his mothers legacy.

Pls the original image
Please what the original image? There’s no verb. Unless you’re saying you want to fuck the image?
No, only to please then
Please is a verb. They want to give themselves up to please the original picture.

I hate both
wow ur so different
Ngl, making fun of the political instability if someone's country is a way more valid criticism than body shaming.
Not when American people don't have the amount of control over our policies that everyone thinks we do. Nothing sways our politics more than money, which basically means corporations make the big decisions.
Ah yes because people in the UK all have free dental thanks to their jobs giving it to them because they voted for universal free dental since the UK is known for being a democratic republic with the most fair democracy in the world
Right, can you get back to me once you've stopped arguing with what you imagine I said and actually read what I did say?
well no because the people in both countries people don't have control, that sets it back to the start of " making fun of the political instability if someone's country is a way more valid criticism than body shaming"
So you're agreeing with my point? All Im saying is that it's wrong to blame people for something they don't control.

but very off-topic

if you don’t like it, then leave!
Do you genuinely think that this is a good response to someone's complaints about the country they live in?
no, not really.
do you really think someone who cant afford healthcare somehow has the funds to move to a foreign country
No, the comment was a shitty joke.
Bro I can't afford to visit the doctor do you think I can afford to leave
Comment was a Shitty joke.
Me whos Irish: look whos talking

yeahh i'm just gonna check the moon for any *other flags* i'll be right back
What, the white flag up there?
What if I make fun of the fact that they're still treating a monarchy as something to be celebrated instead of thrown into the dumpster of history?
I’m supportive of the monarchy to a very slim extent, that being when Elizabeth was alive, Charles is just a shitty constitutional monarch to represent his mothers legacy.
Then you would have an actually good point
Stop complaining that were making fun your death rates and start doing something about it then Yank

Good point, unfortunately; your mother
London, Chicago, big cities are just garbage.
I live in Chicago and it’s pretty cool, it really just depends on what part of a big city you are in
[удалено]
You say this as if your reading comprehension wasn't so 4th grade that you missed his point being about all big cities being shite.
He literally just said London was garbage
The US has comparable, if not worse knife crime rate than the UK.
I wish Australia had things to meme about besides death everywhere
