...On the prisons thing, I saw a documentary exploring some of america's prisons and it scared the sh*t out of me! It was all gang wars between mexicans, blacks, whites etc... Just p*ssing at the wrong toilet could get you stabbed.

omg, i saw a documentary about prisons in finland as well, 40% of them commited suicide in one year! 80% of them have been homosexually abused and its a rising statistic.
then again northern europe does have the highest rate of suicides amongst there civilians, of all the developed world.

To be fair, no! But I think I'm going to go.
Like I said, never seen america either so just speculating.
If I had to say what I'd rather the uk be like I would still say the netherlands though. I think america sets a lot of bad examples.
Also I know people who have been to Miami and weren't impressed. They said it was all just a bit samey and faceless. I don't think you have as much culture and history over there.
I am also scared by your ludicrously large homocide rates, gun laws, obesity, prisons, human rights records and policy on Iraq.
Of course, the uk is guilty of many such offences also, that’s why I’d like us to be more like countries such as the Netherlands.

nah, i dont think so, I think Depression in the netherlands is higher than in the USA, ... they have a higher rate of drug and prostituin problem,
Do you think The Netherlands is better than the UK?
