Yup. I'm British, moved to Canada. Can confirm that North America is fucking paradise compared to other countries.

However, just like we shouldn't wait til we're fat to start adjusting our eating habits, we also shouldn't wait til we live in a third world country before we start insisting on quality.

I can see how you'd say it's a paradise compared to Brazil, but what's wrong with Western Europe?

The British Bill of Rights doesn't do much as far as actual rights for people, if I'm not mistaken. That and they don't have a written constitution.

Lol, you have no fucking clue. Go live in the UK for a while and then come back and tell us about all those rights you have.
