Thank you for your thoughts. My thoughts were more Scottish in nature. I would like to respond as follows:

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

i can give you some input about living in the uk as i have one all my life

1,all parents want to protect there child/childrens honour and are even willing to go to jail for this
not sure about laws to this i suppose depends on the crime

<font color="red"> Based on my experiences on US vs. UK. If you defend someones honor in the US, there is all hell to pay. If you were to do the same in the UK you won't have the same issue from what I can see. I would be reluctant to defend my child's honor in the USA, because if I did, I would go to jail for a very long time and my family depends on me. </font>

2,yes they way we go about our medical things are diferant as we use the nhs(natinal health service)
which is paid for by your wages
prescriptions are not free, waiting lists to have medical precidures are long, mental health teams cant do there best because not enough resources for the amount of ppl with mental health problems the dentist system sucks in uk at the moment because most dentist were nhs and are leaving the nhs to go private there isnt eniough dentists for everyone some ppl have to travel miles just to be seen and others only go when they have a problem missing out on the check ups and all

<font color="red"> When I lived in Scotland I never had a problem getting prescriptions for free. I never had a long wait in getting seen to. In fact, I was seen to quicker there than I ever was in Florida. I agree with the dental stuff, but that seems hit or miss. I have heard about some people in Fife getting their teeth done for free (braces etc) </font>

3,education is free up untill they reach 16 if they decide to go on to further education (collage) this to can be free and they could get money for going depending on parents income but if they go to university they have to pay they can borrow this and pay it back when they are in a job which allows them to afford to pay it bk

<font color="red"> I think you get some community college for free in Scotland. </font>

4,yes the goverment will help you out if you fall on hard times if you pay stamp you get bk some money to support your family and also help with rent its all down to if you qualify

<font color="red"> Indeed. </font>

this just some of the things we deal with
