This crap about us aiding the Germany in WW2 is nonsense..... Nonsense I tell you.... THEY BOMBED Dublin....... Although yes we do have our issues with the English, it stems from a long history thats H-I-S-T-O-R-Y Ya know the stuff that happened more than a few 100 years ago, oh thats right you don't have any really..... Anyway most has been forgiven and we're moving on you should try doing the same about WW2 among other things..... Oh and you might as well admit that all your sports (except hockey which I do have a lot of respect for) are ridiculously simplified versions of European sports....
Nascar, I'd love one of them last five minutes in a rally car....
Football, come on like some of em have actually died from unfitness, and their coach does all the thinking for his players, they'd all get raped on a rugby pitch...
Baseball..... I don't even know where to start....
All that said I do like americans a lot better than Canadians

In light of your failure to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

I am a full Englishman and very proud of it, but England has a great tradition of taking the mick out of itself. America will never get the hang of people taking the mick out of it as its truly proud of the traditions she has built since fighting and winning its independance.
Good luck America you maybe the Black Sheep of the Empire but we hope the "Special Relationship" holds strong.
I hope some of you read it again and just think if England did manage this mad idea, would America get its head round binge drinking and teenage pregancy as well as the English. And would they be able to build small navy ships.

We were run out of America and India, that's it. Believe it or not quite a few of the remaining colonies didn't actually seek independence, they were better off with colonial rule. The ones that did seek independence were often being subverted by communist propaganda, that's why the US has coincidentally been installing puppet governments in many of the same countries. I'm not saying we should be in charge (the British empire was evil and should never have been there in the first place!) but we didn't get booted out of many countries. It was the crippling debt incurred by WW2 that prevented the British holding on. After the loss of India there was no longer a supply of cheap expendables to send to the slaughter on foreign battle fields...
The Irish hated you so much, during WWII they abetted the Germans.
Yeh, cos Hitler would have given the Irish such an easy ride! The Irish might hate the English, but they're not stupid!
You need to start practicing diplomacy and forget about offending the only friend you have ever had.
Let's get one thing straight, our rich elite love you. They are the ones with Big companies that are able to trade with the US. The every day Jo in the street has nothing to thank you for! You promise stuff to our government and industry in return for unquestioning loyalty from the Blairs and Thatchers, etc... British citizens die on foreign battle fields while the tax payer picks up the bill. The trade that takes place as a result ties our economy closely to yours which means when yours goes belly up, so does ours! The average British tax payer loses money buying arms for these conflicts, loses money funding them, loses loved ones in them, never see's a penny of any of this trade money that is created and loses money when the economy fails. Please point out at which point we humble British citizens should be cheering for you guys?
The world might hate us, and even with just cause, but everyone wants to live here. You can be an American if you are willing to kiss a bit of butt. And have someone fill out the questionair for you.
I don't want to live there and neither does anyone i know. You have the most punitive State in the western World, yet you seem to think you are the most free. You pressure other countries to take on your paranoid, 'Wealth at any cost' idealism and create a World that completely disregards the well being of every day people if they are in the way of Industry.
It's interesting you use the 'Kiss a bit of butt' analogy. We aren't moving to America, don't want to move to America, don't particularly want anything to do with America, but guess what, WE'RE KISSING AMERICA'S BUTT ALREADY!
We're begging you to join environmental legislation. You're telling us all to F* off, we'll do it on our terms (which means we ain't gonna do squat, we're making WAY too much money to care about you scum!). We're begging you to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but that ain't gonna happen. The 'War on drugs' has criminalised millions of people around the World and only achieved a marked increase in illicit drugs by making them MUCH MORE PROFITABLE for organised crime as a result. Hard drugs like Cocaine and heroin are flooding into the UK as our currency makes it worth the risk. Before Nixon payed the Lao's government to ban drugs you could pick up an once of grass for less than $1, since prohibition it's gone up to $70, it now represents the most profitable crop a poor farmer can grow!! The result is more pot, not less!
We are kissing butt and have been for years, yet all we get in return is negative (except a few rich toffs in the City, they make fortunes out of you!) If you can think of one thing i personally have to thank you for, i'd like to hear it.

I will defend as much as you will. When it hits the fan we join and conquer together! I would fly home to defend my homeland.
I would not fly to another country to defend the oil I want out of it! 😛😛
Originally posted by mikelomIt is just incredible how people in the US and Britain for that matter run around the World championing their system.

I earn about £16k in a year, £5-6K of that i lose in direct tax, probably another 2 in indirect tax and i don't even own a car! All to fund foreign wars, extra Police and punitive draconian 'anti terror' policies that we wouldn't need if we hadn't started the whole thing in the first place. There was no terror threat, even after 9/11. The whole thing is a big fat scam, deliberately engineered to keep us slaving away and funding these scum bags with every last penny we have! I'm sick of the whole damn thing!! ðŸ˜

Originally posted by mikelomI really really REALLY want to. I live in London and i tell you something, this place sucks ass!!! We have the longest working hours in Europe, our currency is worth loads but everyone i know is in debt up to their eye balls. The interest rates have gone through the roof the fund the fact that governments (namely America) do absolutely nothing to try and create a stable sustainable economy. Get rich as fast as you can, give loans to people who can't repay them and then by up loads of Gold once the economy can no longer support the level of debt that ordinary citizens have been forced to incur and then sit back and watch peoples live get ruined! You either get completely bankrupted by other peoples greed, or you work 60 hour weeks to pay off the interest. All the while the Big business types have no worries, their wealth is invested in concrete assets, like Gold and land and property. Everyone else is left with seriously devalued paper currency and huge bank loans. The system is a farce! Monetary slavery were most people are too stupid to realise it's a scam and bye the 'We're a rich developed country' line hook line and sinker!! The country might be rich, but the money you own isn't worth the paper it's written on if the economy is handled irresponsibly, which it ALWAYS is! Whats worse for British citizens is that their currency crashes if America handles it's economy irresponsibly. Take this recession we're just about to have. US Government fails to halt a corrupt banking industry loaning morgages to high risk borrowers, people start defaulting, the markets panic and the pound drops sharply as a result while interest rates rocket! British people lose out because of a corrupt American government that they neither elect nor have any come back against!
Do what I did! ???
Get out! 😉

Sadly thats wrong, I play Rugby league and most of the American football guys I trained with when on holiday in the US couldn't believe the hits we take. But I do take my hat off to them they played rugby quite well in the end if not a bit worried about big hits.

Originally posted by rbmorrisIt's really not their fault. The education system never teaches you what you need to look out for in governments, the media is ram packed FULL of biased media coverage. How is it to the benefit of any countries population to have the entire 'free' press owned by a couple of extremely rich and politically motivated individuals? Government can't change this situation, they cannot get elected if they don't kiss media tycoons butts. They cannot get elected without Millions and millions of dollars from vested interest corporations, not to mention bankers. Money talks! It is only really in the last 4 or 5 years or so i've really looked into all this stuff and it's taken that long for me to have the faintest glimpse of what is really going on here. People are inherently lazy, when times are good they enjoy themselves, when times are bad they have to grind away making ends meet, they don't have or make time to become informed. American citizens who voice decent are persecuted and villafied to such an extent that they either keep their mouths shut or become completely ostracized. This thing is not standing still either, this machine is spreading it's power and influence across the globe. All the Worlds oil (with the exception of Iran) is now controlled by the United States and Saudi Arabia, in a World that is completely dependant on it. This means Americanisation of the Globe is effectively guaranteed!! Whoopee do!!

Are you under the influence tonight? These comments are so unsupportable by fact as to make me wonder.

Wait.... have you been on the Mother Ship with Arrakis? I thought so!
