I wouldn't swap it for 'Murca and, I'd bet, neither would you
I could easily live there. Only thing stopping me is it's too difficult to get residency. So America's loss is France's gain.
US is a fantastic country, like a world on one continent - from frozen wastes to desert and everything in between. Forget the craziness of the cities and some of the politicians. Many people base their opinions on what they learn from news/media. It's not like that if you visit. They're just like us. What you have to realise is it's a massive land mass and you can afford to live away from less desirable sections of their society - not cheek by jowl like in UK.
The southern states are fantastic and quite civilised. They love their country for a reason. I was last there in south when I was in my 30s and they have much better manners and more respect than we do. Quite a few times, teenagers would address me as sir. Yes they work longer hours than us and have shorter holidays, but on the whole, the average working American has a better life than a Brit. Their country still has potential and their economy isn't hopless like ours. They still own their big money makers and still make things. We are on the ropes with very little to offer. Americans are proud of their country - are Brits really proud of theirs?
And the women love the English accent.
