No, whatever you do...do not move back here. You are a Scot now and you would never, ever be happy here.

They don't hate us. Lived in Europe for 16 years. If you act superior then you will have problems.

For all the USA haters, I recommend doing a road trip from Chicago to LA via Route 66. In my opinion, it is one of the best ways to really understand the United States.

I have done it twice and it blows my mind every time. Only a very ignorant person would say that the United States has no culture.

Well, I'm not a USA hater, but have wanted to do that for a while.

It's kind of funny, but I also don't understand how this jives in a country so obsessed with customer service. It's extremely unprofessional, to me at least.
Consider, for a moment, that we are a nation descended from a collection of rebels, misfits and outcasts. And that, with the exception of those brought here in slave ships (and many of whom caught on quickly once the obstacles were removed) we all came there looking for something better. Under those conditions, it's natural for everyone to attempt to "take his cut off the top".

Passivity in a society lie ours will get you nowhere.

Like all relationships it is sort of complex. As a rule Canadians are very happy to live in Canada. Our largest group of illegal workers in Canada come from the US…so some of them must like it here

I lived in the US for a number of years. Most folks I met were virtually clueless about Canada.
