If You Believe America Has Lousy Health Care, Here's Why

[Nickdfresh]

...Is a pint of beer really $6 in America? Are cigarrettes really $11 for a pack of 20? I have no idea but I can't imagine that they are.....

It varies greatly, but in many places like NYC, YEP!!! Sometimes it's more. The funny thing is that I've gone back to bottled at the local watering hole since I can get a nice Sierra Nevada Pale Ale ("premium" microbrew) for $3.75 while a Guiness or Bass on tap is like $5...

Nearly 75 percent Brits want to immigrate to Australia

by Mary Jones - May 12, 2010
Australia, 12th May: Nearly one third of Britons consider seeking Australian immigration, reports a latest research.




Every three out of ten Brits want to leave behind their woes back in the UK and immigrate to Australia.

One of the common reasons cited by a quarter (23 percent) of survey respondents was lack of jobs in the UK. Meanwhile, nearly one eighth (31 percent) of those taking part in the survey said the reason for leaving the UK and immigrating to Australia was influenced by poor state of the UK economy.

If the figures quoted by the latest study in the UK are true, then there is likely to be a big demand for Australian visas needed for immigrating to Australia.

The survey undertaken by Currency UK, a foreign exchange broker, states that around 19 percent of the total 1029 Britons participating in the survey expressed their concerns about the results of last week’s elections in the UK.

It has been found that Brits are feeling worried about the possibility of a hung parliament, and the future prospects of the nation which will be dominated by inflation, significant reduction in public services and huge tax hikes in the coming four years, stated Adrian Jacob, senior account
manager of Currency UK.

About 12 percent admitted a change in the pace of life as the major attraction for wanting to move to Australia.

Comparing the results of the latest survey with survey done by Currency UK in 2005, it is clearly visible that there has been a significant rise in the number of Britons expressing their desire to immigrate to foreign shores. In 2005 survey, just 25 percent of total respondents had considered
to move out of the UK.

Majority of Britons want to have a better balance between work and life by moving to Australia since Australia seems to have all the elements of a perfect place to live and work in. some of the factors which make Australia a preferred destination for many would-be expatriate Britons include very good climate, strong economy, and no language barrier. Hence, its easy to live and work in Australia than in other nations.

Some of the other popular destinations preferred for immigration by Brits included Canada,United States, New Zealand, Spain, France and Thailand respectively.

People supposedly want to move to the opposite side of the world because they were worried about a hung parliament?

It just shows you what a load of crap some surveys are.

Given the sheer volume of Aussies who work in our bars, Austrlia can't be that great....

[Seshmeister]

120 000 Australians live in Britain, 12 000 Britons move to Australia each year.

I wish a few of the Aussies would go home like Barry Humphries, Germaine Greer, Peter Andre to name a few.

That said Tim Minchen is cool and we'll keep the Minogues for further research...
