    This is just typical, as you all know UK and USA are different for currency, like 1 POUND(my currency key is broken on my keyboard) = $2

    I go on fxdomains they had cheap domains, next time I come on they change it to GBP, so now I must pay twice the price, same goes for hosting, to be honest UK is supposed to be the most high prices area, for goods and things. Kind of annoying I felt like saying this,

    Ps anyone know where to get cheap .us domains?

    if you don't like it then move? I hate the US government but haven't saved up enough to move to the bahama's yet.

    I agree. My relatives living in the UK complain about it all the time. But I suggest you stay there and not move to the US. Things are going to be worse in the US.

    They already are. We either going to have a woman for president, or a middle eastern man who won't respect our national anthem.

    Yeah, because the female gender so does not have the ability to lead a country. [sarcasm]
    Also, who is the middle eastern man?

    Educate yourself before speaking.

    There is no middle-eastern man. Geez. Someone needs to tay appension better.

    Personally, I have no problem with a female or a minority becoming president. What I do have a problem with is people who blatantly lie or have questionable motives, or have to rely on slogans and hype to make them a 'viable' candidate.

    Ron Paul rules.

    Really? Because everyone in the US is saying he's a black man (or mixed, at the very least).

    He's Middle Eastern and African. But even still, the guy stands there like a retard and doesnt do anything when the national anthem is playing...doesnt even bother to put his hand over his heart.

    No, his grandfather was Muslim. So what. That doesn't make him 'middle-eastern'. His father, I believe, is of African decent. His mother is something...but the fact is he was born in the US, which is one of the qualifications for being president.

    Sounds to me like you 1) haven't been paying attention to politics closely enough to have any real foundation for your claim that he's 'middle-eastern'. You ASSUME that the rumors of him being Muslim equate him with being from the middle-east, which is not true by any stretch of the imagination.

    Just because the message comes in a forwarded email from your friends and family does NOT mean it's true.

    I don't support Obama because of his political stances and his lack of overt honesty. But there's no reason to misrepresent the facts (or ignore them altogether).

    I don't care if cost of living is 40% higher (IF) just the fact that I won't be feeding the war machine will satisfy me.

    I've seen that, I used to buy my domains with Telivo.com a UK company, go and see their prices - wow!

    I've tried to look for hosting in the UK before but it's just roo exepensive for what you get.

    I'll just stick with NameCheap (very cheap and good support is 24/7).. and my servers in the US, I use SoftLayer.com (Amazing support).

    Was chatting to the local company down where I live and they are spending an extra £6K a month with the fuel price. Expensive shit.
