No but seriously, was looking over the CIA factbook and noticed some interesting numbers for both countries.

Average Age
Brits are on average, 2.7 years older than Americans, with the average age being 38.7 years compared to USA's 36 years.

Britain's women aren't quite as willing to pop a few kids out as Americans - Theres on average 1.7 children born for every woman in the UK, wheras in America theres 2.1 kids to every woman.

America lags behind Britain here, with UK's literacy rate being 99% compared to America's 97%. The US figure though has been shrouded in controversy with news magazines like Newsweek running special reports on the far lower literacy rate than America reports.

You forgot Canada :swear:





Damn straight! \:D/




Oh, and I'd also like to mention Australia and New Zealand, they're cool too.

We Canadians have also perfected having 1.61 babies for each of our women.

We're not like those obese americans and their 2.1.. [-X

Damn straight. 2.1 babies are the babies you see on Jerry Springer. Ours are a reasonable 1.61. Heck, I say we should all lower it just a bit, we don't want to get too carried away.

Ahh the plentiful wenches of America cannot beat the Randy Somalian tank-women, who have on average 7 children each.

Can you imagine Jerry Springer there?

"You had my baby, and then you had his, and his, and two of his. And then i had some with your sister to get back on you, but caught a nasty rash"

Jerry Springer is far from what American life/ people are really like :wink:

Oh and believe it or not in Scotland they are encouraging women to have more babies with grants etc. Because the population of Scotland is dwinlding rapidly from constant migration to offshores countries and they think in 50 years that scotland will be a barebones community.

Theres only 4 million scots right now anyway, and the population is decreasing very rapidly.

So i think they should open up a room with Gail Porter in the middle and let us all reproduce freely.

OH MY GOD. REALLY!?!?!?!
Shut up!!!! I always thought ALL americans dressed up like women, or babies; slept with their family in trailers and at the same time cheated on their spouses with obese women/men.

LOLOLOL =D>

Nope

No, you shut up! You and your sexy avatar! [-X =;


















:wink:

Nope, you're thinking about the Alaskans.. They're special, Ask BJ

Speaking of Avatars, all these scantly clad avatars are making my parents think that I am looking at porn sites.

I swear one day, I will get a picture of a scantly clad male, with bulges everywhere, and see what the reaction would be.

LOL maybe i'll even write a sociology research paper on it. :laugh:

ME TOO! Lol, they're everywhere. Not that I'm complaining (am I? Should I???), but you know...


I want to go back to my Marlon Brando one, but I'm smitten by my current avatar

Ugh.



Speak for yourself

You're forgetting a few key points:

Legal age for drinking:
USA - 21
UK - 18

Legal age of consent (straight and/or gay):
USA - 18
UK - 16

Number of countries owned:
USA: 0

Which isn't to say that Britain isn't poo. Just that we sodomise drunken young men more than you guys do. And that we own a fuckload of countries to boot.

Millitary Recruitment Age
UK - 16
US - 18

Wow talk about putting your FPS skills to good use :Grins:

But does the U.K. have any good rappers?

Didn't think so.

True. Prince Harry is getting a bad rap for dressing up in a nazi costume.

Well I don't listen to rap at all, but wasn't the album "A Grand Don't Come for Free" by Birmingham rapper The Streets chosen as the best album of last year by most of the major music media?

*slaps mr. x in the back of the head*

What? Hey, when a bad joke can be made, I take the extra step in making it.
