Somethin positive for a change.........Cant comment tho......
as I dont live there.......

Just wanted to say gr8 thread

Better as in what way? It's already one of the best places to live.

I suppose I could say it should be more demanding of common sense and individual responsibilities while at the same time doing away with frivolous laws that spend pages upon pages just trying to cover loophole after loophole from being utilized but that would take the wisdom of Solomon.

Make your tax rules more easy to understand for us poor visitors and add service in with the price of a meal drink and then tipping is purely for the good service provided....it is a nightmare trying to work out the percentage of the bill to leave as a tip say in Florida.

The problem with all things is people! We need to improve the people. There is too much me me me and not enough us us us. People are so hung up on image, pridefulness, better than you,things, money, and stuff.
A persom with millions will feed their lust without holding back and at the same time not even look to see who could use some help. Then the only help seems to be for the purpose of P.R.,advertisement and self serving.
People will lie cheat steal the things from other that they need to feed their families. Take a store owners payment and use it to buy a video game and let the store guy get his gas cut off and sleep in 11 degree weather without a care.

We need to work on people. There is not enough good ones around any more. it was in times past that a woman and kids were safe on the streets. You could veave your doors unlocked and got to town. Leave your doors open wide at night while you sleep.

A man could find a woman who wanted love, family and husband...now a spouse is only a means to get for me me me in most cases. People using people. If we had good moral people.....the rest would fall in place.

So other than my simple opinion that compared to most countries, it is a great place to live I surmise that your point is that there are not enough laws in place?

Make the Government much smaller as in 90% smaller and reduse the laws to 10... if you get my meaning. Bailouts should have gone to the people and then those companies that needed to survive would have and the others would have been left for dead on the side of the road.

Tipping is based on quality of service not on a percentage. If your service sucks, you can still eat my table scraps, if your service is outstanding you will get my customary 25%-50% tip. I am very good at awarding quality. Incentive for doing a good job.
