I hate these types of aurguments they generally end up in petty
squabbles can we just let this aurgument die, as both Countries have a
lot of things in common. Both think they are more important than the
other (in my opnion neither is.) they are both run by complete Idiots
and they both have rising crime rates and unemployment rates. So
there is no real difference between them.

This aurgument is just like the age old aurgument between Wales and
England, Wales generally comes out worst due to lower social standing
higher unemployment and a gouverment that really doesn't give a fuck
about Wales.
