Sometimes when we add up the negatives in the u.s.,and there r many,we forget that in the known history of mankind there has never been a country that has had it so good as we have it right now,and in this is included city-states,principalities,empires,and any other group of politically connected configurations.This is not entirely a new or domestic realization,the earliest version of that statement ive encountered was from an englishmen written b 4 the u.s civil war by a man named Edward Creasy.That was in the very middle of the pax Britainia and queen victorias reign,a time often viewed as the high water mark of 1 of histories largest empires and written by 1 of the smartest men alive at that time.Having said that i 2 see many areas that could b improved upon in this country,2 strive 2 do better no matter where we r atm is a trait i hope isnt dead in this country yet but it often seems that if its not dead then its on life support.

My excursions into EU Home have been decidedly negative, from the suspicion that Cheeky mentioned to folks screaming at me to “go back” to NA Home--I wasn’t wanted, so they said. For all the hostility in NA Home, I was shocked to find it in greater abundance in EU Home, as I’ve also felt more “at Home” *ahem* when in Western Europe than amongst many of my fellow Americans.

Strange disparities…much worth further study.

I am surprised -- I would expect a non-U.S. resident to be shocked by the inability of so many U.S. teens in Home to spell, to write a complete sentence, or to express a coherent idea. The ‘dumbing down’ of the U.S. public school system is becoming apparent to the entire world thanks to Central Plaza exposure.

Excellent read Cheeky. I am so glad you are here in Na Home, otherwise we would have never met and become such good friends. I agree with your assessment of the two different Homes. I have been to EU, and it has its good points and bad just as NA does. I love the article, you are a welcome addition to the team as well as a great friend. YEE HOY!!!! As you yell when we play RDR together. Thanks for being my friend and a Grey Gamer as well.

There is some scientific truth to the aphorism that “the grass is always greener on the other side.”

When grass is viewed from an above-down perspective, you see the gaps between the blades. So it looks sparse. Whereas when grass is viewed from an oblique angle, you don’t see any of the soil underneath the grass. So it looks greener.

So, when viewed from a distance, SCEE Home looks more appealing (and I’ll admit, I’m sorely tempted to region hop, because in real life I’ve always felt more comfortable throughout western Europe than I have in much of the United States) — just as, when viewed obliquely, SCEA Home looks more appealing to a lot of Europeans.

Crap, I need to water my lawn…

Maybe sometime… what? You might physically make the jump?
Am like to suggest the Canada portion of North America.
The hooms are pretty decent (for the most part) and there is pretty good health care. Heh heh.
Stop by for a spot of tea while you’re in town, and we’ll go for coffee

Very interesting, sir.
Us westerners might be inclined to think the UK/EU Home would be more polite and hospitable. Go figure.

Same here,on regular base I used to be on UK/EU home for like 4-5 months.After creating a US account, i only pop on the UK/EU to see the new updates.So far the most of my friends are on my US account for almost 2 years..Funny is how sometimes people complain that UK/EU home is much better. it seems to be more relax, I guess i was just bored after Xi.i never regret i made that jump to the other side of the world,in a virtual way.And who knows maybe sometime….
