Add to that, the drinking age also influences the gambling age. I could not gamble until I was 21. I gamble for fun, not as a way to earn money, but I do like to win. We still have casinos you cannot enter until you're 18, but most public casinos won't let you in until you're 21.
This is rather an insult than a fact. The UK doesn't have Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus etc, proving the opposite being true. But I don't like the school uniforms the UK has, like what we see in Harry Potter.
The British Commonwealth had most of the English speaking countries. The only one that isn't part of the commonwealth is the United States.
I've been seeing a few religious differences mentioned on this thread. The truth here is that even if we had an even shorter era of torture of someone who isn't Christian (I'm looking at you Salem Witch Trials) than the UK (referring to the medieval era), it would take longer for religion to completely fade from American culture than in the UK. Especially in the South. The Northeast is the most religion unfriendly region of the US, but they still value religion over the UK. The South is the one place I don't recommend visiting at all if you're an atheist. Religion is an even bigger deal here. And yes, abortion, same sex marriage, and the separation between church and state (in how the left defines it) are issues we may never get along with.
One thing the UK is better: less gangs, mobs, and hate groups than in the US. I don't get why we allow those people here in America. It makes the UK look like a better place.
One thing the US is better: in the UK, "pants" means underwear. Good thing I live in the US. This is the craziest vocabulary difference between the two countries.
