"Santa Monica College is, like, so stupid. I mean, O to the M to the G, their slogan '#1 in transfers' is like totally telling the world that nobody wants to stay at their school. That's like Marketing 101: avoid negative publicity."

Why America is Better than England
These six reasons shouldn't come as any big revolution.
By contributing writer J.B. Hour
ThaEternl1 (11:12:41 PM): I hate England.
DX Traeger (11:13:00 PM): They have double-decker buses.
ThaEternl1 (11:13:11 PM): Who needs a second level anyway?
DX Traeger (11:13:12 PM): We have triple-stack cheeseburgers at Wendy's.
At my part-time job (if you consider 30 hours a week part-time), there is this guy, who we will call Todd. This isn’t just any guy; he’s from England. A bloody redcoat. A tea drinking mother fucker.
Now, usually I don’t have anything against people from England. (Although I do find it fascinating that I haven’t been to a dentist in years and I have better teeth than the bloody lot of them.) But I hardly knew Todd so I figured I’d see what he was made of. I wanted to push a few buttons to see how he’d react, too. So I asked him if he was still mad that England lost the war.
It took him a moment to realize I was talking about the Revolutionary War. He actually thought I meant some civil war. I didn’t know what the bloody hell he was talking about. That’s when he gave me a history lesson. He gave me England’s own version of the events that took place some 230 odd years ago. He informed me that the United States didn’t gain their independence from England until 1976.
Of course, that isn’t exactly how I remember it happening, and I’m sure you history buffs will agree. My 5th grade history teacher, Mr. Southem, said we kicked England out and declared our independence on the 4th of July, the 7th month of the year, 1776. (Although it should also be noted that Mr. Southem’s favorite joke was, “What’s the capital of Alaska? I know, Juneau?” so it’s hard to take anything he says too seriously.) What I do know is that we took all of their shitty tea and threw it in the Boston Harbor because we were sick of paying taxes. And now, instead of giving all of our hard earned cash to the King of England, we now give it to the King of Retards. Both named George, ironically.

Sadly, we’re still sick of paying taxes. According to Todd, the Queen of England signed the papers that gave the United States of America their independence on July 4, 1976. I find it fascinating that the rest of the world considers the United States to be the most arrogant country, and gives England a free pass. Seriously, how arrogant do you have to be to lose a war, then wait 200 years to acknowledge the fact that your opposition formed its own country, with its own laws, leaders, and government structure, completely separate from your own?
So, in honor of this new information that has come to my attention (that the United States has only been its own country for 31 years) I’ve decided to tell you why the United States is better than England.

Victoria Beckham isn’t a celebrity here. She’s just somebody’s wife. Which one was she again? Let me see. Sleepy, Dopey, Scary, Posh. I don’t think it even matters anymore.

We drive on the RIGHT side of the road. Todd did what every other person from England I’ve met does. He told me that WE drive on the wrong side of the road. I looked it up and about a quarter of the world drives on the left side. That means three-quarters of the world drive on the right side of the road. Majority rules, ya Brit. Right side of the road wins.

Football involves the Steelers, five Super Bowl victories (the most in NFL history), and Penn State Football. If it weren’t for “American Football” there wouldn’t be a Beaver Stadium and 110,000 screaming fans who probably consume more alcohol during one home game weekend than all of Europe does in a year. That last statement is outrageous and I have no actual evidence to support my claim, but it’s still probably true.
-
The U.S. was never taken over by anybody. Ever. Remember World War II? Of course you don’t, you weren’t alive. Well I have the internet and I looked it up. Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London. Winston Churchill was overrated. I think he might even have been an alcoholic, too. That is, if having alcohol for breakfast makes you an alcoholic. Thanks to the good ole U-S of A, England is still around to remind us all how we drive on the wrong side of the road.

Child pornography is illegal in the United States. Child pornography being what it is, it stands to reason that it would also be illegal in England, too. Right? Wrong. Elton John owns child pornography. Only instead of arresting him, the courts in England said it was fine. It was over some picture he had with two girls belly dancing, one of them naked. Although, considering it was a naked a picture of a girl, I guess maybe I get their point. It IS Elton John.
- King Ralph. King Ralph was that movie starring John Goodman. It might be the shittiest movie I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t seen the movie (you’re lucky, you’re still going to Heaven) it’s about an American who is a descendant of British royalty that is the heir to the Royal thrown after the entire Royal family is electrocuted during a family photo. Outside. In the rain. England is just full of geniuses. Of course, conforming to British standards, King Ralph is a loudmouth, uncouth, slob from America with no social boundaries or redeeming qualities. And of course, you guessed it. Everybody in England is classy and sophisticated. They spend the entire movie trying to make John Goodman conform to British social standards. It’s complete nonsense.
So, here’s to you, Todd, you blubbering fool:
The United States of America is a teenage country, 231 years old with a big dick. Keep talking shit and you might end up fucked in the ass one day.

You're a dumbass. If we're to go by majority rules in terms of which side of the road to drive on then why are you arguing that American Football is real football when the majority of the world thinks it's shit compared to what we call soccer.
Talk about arrogance when you're kissing the ass of a nation who's administration is too arrogant to admit the Iraq war is a lost, too arrogant to remove our military men from harm's way.
Ignorance is hilarious.
America invaded Iraq for one reason, we can. We are the most powerful country and all of the other countries who frown down at us are just afraid because if the USA saw something we though wasnt right we would step in not just stand at the sideline watching with a sad face ( example- holocaust). Britian isnt our mother country it is our little sister who we beat the shit out of and jacked all her belongings and left her with a cold rainy island no one would ever want.
Except that we actually declared war on the Nazis in the first place...
lol. i know how fucking long did it take for them to join and i dont care what they say to drop an atomic bomb on a civilian city was just wrong in my opinion. They are still suffering from the affects to this very day. All those women and children.
Dude your fucking retarded it was a decision made to save American lives a decision we had every right to make, the Japanese invented the kamikaze and that was basically their war strategy just fight until they won or they were all dead but America was like fuck that nonsense we don't have to fight by their rules so we ended it the best way possible by dropping the nuke and after that Japan humbly surrendered with their tails between their legs.
Any historian knows that the only reason that the US of A droped the A bomb on Japan was to show the USSR a thing. Bunch of fags. all of the US are FAT with bad dress sence plastic women and no sence of culture
First of all; America dropped the nuke on Japan because Japan (for NO ABSOLUTE REASON) decided to invade Haiwaii from the air and kill tons of families and the military base. And for all those gay ass britians that don't know about Haiwaii; Haiwaii is a little island in the middle of nowhere and is also are 49th state (I believe....). So they kept on invading, so the USA WARNED THEM that if they didnt stop we would drop the nuke. But guess what? They didn't listen and kept on killing innocent families. So we dropped the nuke. It was our DEFENSE what else were we gonna do? Sit back and let them kill innocent people? Ofcourse not, so for all those Britianers (or whatever the hell you call yourselves) that are saying we're heartless, mindless, people, go eat some snails or something.
The USA never actually said they were going to drop the Nuke, they just said that something bad will happen which just sounds like a bad bluff and Japan called the Bluff, they USA nuked them, and technically they didn't invade USA for no reason. When the USA was like wtf is going on over there in Europe, oh wait there in war, the USA stopped giving supplies to Japan and they were pissed, the USA did the right thing but this is just to say that it was not uncalled for. And its true that the only reason why they used the nuke was not to protect them selves, it was just to show Russia that they had bigger guns.
You see, the us and canada can be more chill that any two European countries can ever be. Props to my brothers in the north :D

Am English and even I know that it's not you 49th state it's your 50th and it used to belong to the British hence the union flag is apart of the flag of Hawaii
i am pretty sure the british flag is apart of there flag is because there part of the common wealth, just saying
Hmmmm I'm British and was in Hawaii a few weeks ago. Hawaii was the 50th state hence the telley program Hawaii 5-0 also defense is actually spelt defenCe, as is Haiwaii spelt Hawaii. By the way we are either Britons or British, I don't think you are heartless, mindless people, I actually think that 99% of you are extremely nice and hospitable people its a shame that that one percent that spoils it is people like you. Hawaii is actually made up of 8 main islands and many small atolls (little islands that keep expanding every day therefore hard to keep track of) and it's the French who eat 'l'escargot' (snails).
Funny how people say we were the ones to blame in WWII considering the fact the British were crying their eyes out for our help during it. And I find it funny the British guy is making spelling corrections in the comments below, even though "spelt" isn't even a real word. I also find it funny how the Canadian stated that Japan had a good reason for bombing and killing a bunch of American people just because we didn't want to supply Japan. It's kinda like saying that it's okay I can shoot someone in the face for giving me decaf instead of regular, or snapping a baby's neck because it coughed. I guess trying to defend our country from death and not supplying a radical dictating country with weapons is a bad thing by the world's standards today. I guess we should have not dropped the bombs and should have let more American and Japanese people die by invading them. The world's logic has updated. Aren't you sure as he'll glad we stayed behind?
Ya! Japan's like we helped you in WWI, why can't you give us guns to murder innocent chinese/ korean people with???
We were like ... no?
They were like let us discuss the situation *bombs pearl harbor the next day*
that is literally how it went, its just because they had shit leaders at the time.
Spelt is a real word in UK English. And it's the UK not just England. It's sad that people like you let your country down. I love Americans just not you. And by the way, I have lovely teeth thanks to my free dental as a child and my subsidised dental as an adult on the NHS...British people may have had notoriously bad teeth a century or so ago, but not anymore we have an excellent healthcare system. Nice to see you rising above the stereotype.
There are good and bad points of both countries, but I'm glad I live in England so I never have to meet people like you.
firstly, not supplying a country pretty much means a lot of death and suffering, so i dont think those examples are very good... and spelt IS a word btw... also, I would like to state the fact that Britain was not crying their eyes out, even if we were getting bombed night after night, know about the battle of Britain, where we basically turned away the Luftwaffe?

As a Brit, I'm pretty sure that Germany also never invaded let alone occupied London
Dumb Ass
Well.. You'r quite wrong...
The Japanese needed the Oil, Iron and other such raw materials, not weapons.. and besides America did supply the war against China up til mid '41... The USA began an embargo in july, quite abit off the point of japan invading China.
So in the end, Japan had 2 Choises.. make peace with the chinese and halt warfare in the pacific.. or step up the war and knock out the USA quickly securing the Pacific
So from Japans point of view there was little actual choise in the matter.. Though the Japanese would've undoubtetly attacked the USA at some point, but saying it happend without reason is just silly.
Taking into considderation how America is responding to the threat of Iran blocking of oil from the Persian gulf... you dont reckon that would mean America invading Iran?
im sure you'd see that as a reasonable invasion, right?.. if thats the case then you also see the Japanese invasion as reasonable.
If you think Japan is justifiably right in attacking America then you better thank them wholeheartedly or we would never joined Churchill's modern day crusade.
I don't think it was justified from any non japanese perspective.. but from the Japanese perspective it was alright, just like you'd think an invasion of Iran would be justified if they close the Persian gulf. then most of the world would want to invade iran to open the persian gulf again, because a big part of the worlds oil supply comes through the persian gulf... but countries not effected wouldent really bother...
And geez,, America would've joined ww2 sooner or later.. even without japan attacking them, They had shipped supplies and weapons to the UK pretty much since the fall of France.. and to China even while still selling ressources to the Japanese industries..
the japanese made you join the allies faster, but it is HARDLY the thing that alltogether brought you into the allies.
Regardless of what you think of America's intention to join or not to join the allied cause, America was crucial in turning the tied of the war when it decided to join. America then was an isolationist country and was not about to be suckered in another European conflict.
It's like England, knowing it had no chance of beating the bully, decided to fight the Germans anyway. England got mauled big time but kept on its two feet but when its big cousin from across the Atlantic ocean decided to join the fracas, all of a sudden the tied turned and the bully got beaten up and England, aware of its upper hand, showed the Germans that it has a set of cojones as well and faught valiantly.
England: "Thank you America for saving our freedom and democracy. Without you our country today would be eating Bartwurst and Sauerkraut and would be singing Rammstein songs".
hard not to know hawaii asshole by the way this is the correct way to spell it ... It was discovered by captain cook a british naval officer so go back to school and study real history if your brain can take it......!!!
Nonsense, the Nuke was dropped to warn of the Russians.. it has nothing to do with japan. That war was over as much as the war in Europe was over... the japs offered as much resistance as they could, and by that i mean hiding in caves and sacrificing themselves so as to not seem cowards.
Russia was at an advantage ... they could move into asia, which the americans and Europe (Britain) could not allow so they made sure Russia stopped her tacks quickly.
You do realized that America warned Japan that something bad will happen if they do not agree to the surrender terms dictated by the allied powers right? The Japanese diplomats simply ignored the warning.
The Japanese had no intention of surrendering regardless if they were being bombed day and night. Their history and their credo of death before dishonor was well known then after the US Navy encountered their Kamikaze pilots in the Pacific. US intelligence predicted over a million allied casualties if and when Japan was invaded. If you were the President of the US then, would you sacrifice all those lives for the sake of morality? It's a classic case of damn if you do and damn if you don't. So it came down to "its them or us".
BTW, where was the Brits in the Pacific in 1945? Thought the Brits were supposed to help out.
They were there too, just haven't made countless films about it. Who supported the invasion of the Philippines? I think you will find it was the British Pacific fleet. Britain were fighting in the Pacific throughout the whole war which was 1939-1945, not December 1941-45. Frankly, with the kind of country that has emerged in the USA perhaps Britain should have joined up with Germany and got rid of you arrogant retards.
" Who supported the invasion of the Philippines?"
I don't believe you. I have never once seen a TV or movie documentary about any British warship in the Pacific at the closing years of WW2. If there was British warships supporting American warships during the long sail from Islands of the Marianas to Leyte Gulf and then Okinawa, then those Brit warships would've been attacked by the Kamikazes. The TV documentary The World at War never once mentioned any British warships in the Pacific Theater helping the Yanks fight the Japanese. The Brits were in Burma fighting but now British help in the struggle to defeat Emperor Hirohito. The Aussies and Kiwis were there but no sign of the English.
Don't be offended mate, we're just debating ww2 facts.
Sorry, just a quick rain check... the stereotypical French person eats snails.
Hey Langy, nice spelling you arrogant ass. Next time before you give me a "history" lesson, how about try spelling "dropped" and "sense" right you third-world education piece of shit. Here in America, we can actually spell are own fucking names, let alone 2nd grade literature. Wow the rest of the world must be fucking genius!
to the giant of morons who calls himself "LangyISaFUCKTARD" which is retarded per se, but there's more... i just marked the really bad ones in brackets:

Hey Langy, nice spelling [,] you arrogant ass. Next time before you give me a "history" lesson, how about try spelling "dropped" and "sense" right [,] you third-world education piece of shit.

this is your masterpiece:
>>> [ "we can actually spell are own fucking names" ] <<< priceless!!!
greetings from europe, where people generally spell better and usually speak an additional language. have a nice life, idiot
I'm not here to insult anyone, I will say that what the brit was doing was typing fast (probably in anger) and thought you would be smart enough to figure out the slight mistakes, Yes I am british, but I dont hate the Americans, sure I will admit I personally think america was only looking after its own ass in the war, but that was not the average Americans choice, that was the governments choice, the American soldiers were just as brave as ours. 8 of my great family members were in the WW's. there is no way that none of them would have not at least met one American, once you joined in our soldiers were in there together, we are now allies and we should not disrespect both of our countries great soldiers by pretty much arguing over there death bed. D-day has been the main subject here, lets just stop this, one of my three great uncles died on D-day. then the other two who were on artillery and had to walk past the hundreds of dead troops on D-day + one, (British and American) both races bodies, just as disturbing. Both races soldiers were the same people, your ancestors were british my ancestors were british, if your african american or other please correct me, most people on here are white Americans. This is all I have to say, do your ancestors proud and stop saying that one man was better than another in this infamous fear striking war.
This goes to the guy you replied to as well.
ahaha american faggot, you are indeed a joke..... that knows fuck all about history, and by the looks of things... nothing. keep your shit to yourself you fat dumb fuck
I do believe America fucked up the English language, it's like a shipment of U's didn't get to USA quickly enough; If at all - and used the last one in it's name, it's fucking ironic name at that.
Now I ain't saying that Britain is all great and such, but neither is America. The stereotypical view of any American is here to see in 2/3's of the comments.
I personally don't give a shit about celeb's, in my eyes they're a complete bunch of money flaunters in which the money driven companies make MORE money off. Mostly just whoring their items to the public through the media.
I like Canada, but the US really lives up to it's stereotypical point on this.
One person was so kind as to say "Because if the USA wanted to do blablabla, it will do it"...This just proves your arrogance. Good day, I'm off to drink some Tea and stare at my flag for a few hours, pondering at how the USA is founded on a stupendous amount o gigantic lies.
Because USA is truly a better place than anywhere in the world. /sarcasm
Ok man, let me point something out to you, I'm pretty sure there is more Englishmen on here talking shit and being more stereotypical/arrogant/ignorant then us Americans, and if you people from England knew how to avoid stupid shit and not take things like this so serious then I don't think any of us would be getting into it right now... and since you people want to get technical about the way us Americans speak English then here's a little bit of technicality for you and your Englishmen... This is NOT English class nor is it a how to speak English website.. so how about all your Englishmen get that straight and STOP whining! you people are definitely no better then us Americans so stop trying to be something you people are not!
And for anyone who thinks any of this is getting resolved by bitching about who is better and who isn't is quite the dumbass, everyone needs to learn GOD made all of us equal we all need to act like it.
Yeah "Fictional" for you and the rest of your dumbass englishmen who don't believe in GOD.... You're obviously a dimwit if you think god is fictional, you need GOD that's why you and your Englishmen are a bunch of stereotypical Losers with no lifes!
I get it now!! The US is becoming shit because we are all MORONIC.
Here's an idea if you don't like America then get a gun and blow your brains out.
Problem solved.
1. I'm Welsh not English. So I'm not sure who you are talking about.
2. Even if I was English, then It would be "you and other Englishmen". I don't own any Englishmen. That I am aware of.
3. Atheists have, on Average, lower crime rates, lower divorce rates and higher IQ. It's a considerable margin as well. Why? Because if we have the intelligence to realize that Virgins giving birth, and snakes that can talk, are not real, that's already an advantage in the intelligence department.
4. It's Lives. Not lifes.
5. Just rubbing in the fact that you can't count this high.
And yes. I am the guy who put God is fictional. Because he is. As a Bus advertisement once read
"There is no God. Now stop worrying and get on with your lives."
Not "lifes".
If Atheists are sooooo intelligent and sophisticated, why then are there not any leader of the world who is an Atheist?
you and your gung ho attitude are the reason that america is the worlds most hated nation.
Not all Englishmen don't believe in God. I am a very strong British Christian but i respect other peoples views as well if they choose not to believe in God you can't force it upon them. You are just stereotyping all British people the same and if you are a Christian you should believe that we are all the same in the eyes of God, so why are you saying English people are stereotypical losers. Why are people comparing who's better England or America i clicked on this by accident and started reading it. Honestly it made me laugh. One England was not invaded by Hitler he tried and failed to do so. He came very close he nearly gained air superiority but when an English men 'accidently' dropped a bomb on Berlin Hitler changed his tactics and started bombing London. He was so close to claiming air superiority. I had never heard of Victoria Beckham before now and i have not been living under a rock.
Personally I don't care what you all think but I believe that we shouldn't stereotype people all because they come from a certain country.
First things first, God is what you believe in not what everyone else does, what about all those Muslims who are going to be bitching on this now?
This is classic English arrogance at best. Mate I hope you don't celebrate Christmas because if you and 90 percent of your people do, then England is the biggest freakin' hypocrite in the entire world. Does the Anglican church preach Christianity or Atheism? No worries because England will soon become an Islamic country anyway and pretty soon the English Monarchy will make a pilgrimage to Mecca. I would love to see that one day.
You jumped up little yankee squirt.Its because of you yanks invading other peoples countrys for oil that islam is spreading. and dont worry its on its way to you as they say you reap what you sow and you sure planted far and wide.maybe you will learn to keep your noses out next time.but its too late this time you stirred the pot and its about to boil over and you will suffer just like all of us because you think your big and hard but you are just bullies.(fat ones)!!!
WE invade other peoples' countries!!??? WE do??!! I NEVER have heard ANYONE say something more STUPID than that. AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST AND INDIA ARE FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF COLONIAL ENGLAND. THERE IS NOT ONE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT LIKES ENGLAND. EVERYONE THINKS YOU ARE STUCK UP BRATS.
America is ruled by terrorists. I mean think about it, who's invading who's country? whos kids are starving? Who's women are getting raped? who uses brutal methods of torture? It is time for a change and everybody seems to think that just because obama is mixed race he must a "good guy" but the fact is he doesn't run the country, thats wot the CIA do, and besides he is still supporting capitalism which is practically slavery (those days are not over), he still supports war, i mean he has promised 30 Billion to israel and they are blood thirsty phsyco's who want palestine. And people in the ghetto's of america seem to think they got it bad and ok maybe they got it worse than some but they think they badman gangsta cos fight in gangs and hold a gat but theres little kids who fight soldiers in tanks and they actually have no choice its not the same as when sum ghetto youth says "i got no choices", them kinda guys drop out of school cos they bun weed or get up in sum gang bangin but theres kids in africa who are lucky enough to scape enough money for an education and they walk miles everyday to get to school. America is not a bad country if your a Citizen because the government treats them like they are superior and seems to think that they can take what ever they want from anybody they want in order to make thier lives luxury, even if it means genocide, torture, rape etc i cud go on about the crimes of the white house. America is not a shit country its just ruled by greedy blood thirsty tyrants
You might want to read the history of how the US came about then.
India is fast becoming one of the worlds biggest economies, the British trebled the population of India alone through sanitation and healthcare when they were there and gave them (amongst many other countries) the worlds third biggest railway system. The problems in the middle east predate British rule and are a problem of the Abrahamic religions of Christianity and Islam. Most countries in Africa that were rules by the British are successful, it is the ex French colonies that are not. A simple chart of the British empire/or even todays commonwealth laid over the most equal, wealthiest, healthiest, successful countries show the clear link.
You are just sad we live in an Anglo world. The Commonwealth is the most peaceful, largest conglomeration/unity of nations there is.
Rubbish mate. You're grasping on straws.
Christianity is dying in England and the Anglican church is powerless to reverse this historic course. Fact is there are more atheist in England now than there are Christians and Islam is creeping and spreading its tentacles in all aspect of English society. Soon there will be a Prime Minister Mohammed Khan running the show in the Parliament and where are you gonna be at? Australia? America? Can you imagine seeing your Queen in a burqa. That would be priceless. Jesus is the way mate.
Jesus is the way forward? No offence but I think you should be open to all religions, anyway, your so called christianity is what went over to the Middle East and slaughtered thousands of people... why? Because you decided that Muslims arent allowed to live in THEIR country? Another way of using God as an excuse for mass murder (reminds of another religion, but cant remeber which one...). Oh wait, and you're Protestant, right? Not trying to be offensive, but that is a religion that was founded by an English king that wanted to sleep with other women, a religion founded from smut...
Hi, Everybody, here's my Salute for all the great AMERICANS, I LOVE AMERICA AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
I WON'T LET ANYBODY DISRESPECT US OF A, BECAUSE UNITED STATES IS THE BEST AND BEST!!!!!!!!!!
OF COURSE US IS WAY BETTER THAT england BECASUE THERE IS DIGNITY AND TRUE FREEDOM IN AMERICA BUT NOT IN britain, not a bit,
OF COURSE WE CAN'T BLAME ALL THE PEOPLE BUT MOSTLY ENGLISH PEOPLE ARE ANTI-SOCIAL AND UNPLEASANT.
BUT AMERICAN YOU JUST LIKE TO KNOW AND COMMUNUCATE WITH AMERICANS {GLORIOUS, EXALTED, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, RESPECTFUL, HILARIOUS, AND ROMANTIC...}
THERE'S NO COUNTRY LIKE { THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA }
WHOEVER INSULT USA I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GONNA KILL THEM,
THE PRIDE OF US of A IS WONDERFUL AND EXTREMELY HIGH CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!
SLAUTE FROM { VALENTINO}
MY ETHNICITY IS {GREEK, KURDISH, ROMAN-ITALIAN, AND AMERICAN}
F* the USA, Valentino. Come get me. I'm American, and my ethnicity is Swedish, Irish, and French.
Everybody else, Germany did not occupy London in WWII. They did BOMB London.
Please reread your internet, it is obviously wrong.
F'ing idiots, all of you. No wonder this world is going to sh!t.
Damn what a MUT lol
Nobody is forcing you to live in America dude, if you hate it that bad then move dumbass we dont need you here you're probably useless here in America anyways, get out of here.
You stupid f*ck. I never said living in America was a bad thing. But I shouldn't have expected you to be able to comprehend words either. I make more money than you, I pay more taxes than you, and I have a f*cling brain. What really needs to happen is to have all of you stupid f*cks who don't know sh!t about Hawaii, foreign policy, or anything else thrown the f*ck out of OUR country. But since you were educated like so many others by our crap education system that lets dumb*SS jocks like you slide, and since smart people believe in freedom of speech, we're stuck with you.
America has a black president. Can you handle that? Maybe YOU should leave. Stupid f*cling pig.
I was about to point this out when I read your comment. The Nazis bombed London and invaded the Channel Islands only to find out that they had been demilitarised prior to their arrival. Plus the CI are not part of the UK. They are British crown dependencies...
Do you think England could've retaken Western Europe from the Germans without the Americans?
Do you think England could've defeated Germany without the United States?
Life would be a lot better with Hitler around instead of you people.
You don't mean that my man. We Yanks appreciate our former colonials just as much as you like your former subjects. One hand washes the other. We saved your arses from becoming a German colony and today England helps America in dealing with crazy ass dictators like Sadam Hussein or Ghadafy. Soon both countries will have to deal with Iran. America will deal with North Korea but England is needed to help out in denouncing Iran's Nuclear dreams. So please lighten up and have yourself a cup of tea to ease your discomfort.
Valentino shut the fuck up you brainwashed idiot if you think that the whole of America is high class then u really do need your head looked at

And Dignity? Which country saw the what the Nazis were doing and stood alone and said this must stop, which country has higher equality, which country has the worlds biggest conglomeration of nations by peace rather than a huge army, which has the worlds oldest surviving democracy?

' Respectful - Which country was the first in history to tell us slavery was wrong and stop other nations doing it at their own cost, Britain. "
Who introduce slavery to the world? Its your Beautiful Britain.
" Hilarious - Which country has be reknowned for its sense of humour for centuries and is still claimed as some of the most intelligent of humour in the English language, Britain. "
Are you kiddin" Ever heard of Mel Brooks and his movies?
" Romantic - Which country practically invented gallentry and ladies first culture, Britain. "
Now now .... if britain is romantic then I'm Valentino. I would imagine France or Spain but BRITAIN??? Ah Ah, no way. You guys don't even know how to kiss a girl properly.
We do have dignity. We dropped everthing and kept our word that we're going to save your arses against the Nazi's and we did.
Mel Brooks? You obviously wouldn't understand British humour if you think that is the funniest stuff ever made.
You joined in WW2 after Japan bombed Pearl Harbour in December 1941 - not to save Britain's 'Ass'. Britain pretty much saved its own 'ass' in 1939-1940 in the Battle of Britain.
Britain isn't particularly romantic but American girls seem to like our accents.
Britain didn't introduce slavery to the world you complete tool. Have a little think about it. There have pretty much been slaves since the human race has existed. Britain was the first to abolish slavery without much of a whimper really. We certainly didn't have a war to defend the right to keep people as slaves.
I suppose if you don't agree with me you can always go and buy a big gun and blow me away - or invade my country or something.
" I suppose if you don't agree with me you can always go and buy a big gun and blow me away - or invade my country or something "
Now why would I wanna do that? You fine Brits happen to be America's best friend therefore you are me mate. When there's a problem in the world, we would always band together to resolve the issue. It's been like that since we saved your arse in the second world war. Now you're helping us control the Jihadists. If you're taking issue regarding our boys lending help in preventing your people from speaking English with a German accent in the 1940's, then you should do some research and find the answer to why Mr. Churchill connived Mr. Roosevelt into joining the modern day English crusade - Churchill ala King Arthur.
We joined late because we wanted nothing to do with another European hissy fit. America was like Switzerland then but you English should thanked the Japanese for attacking us or we would never have joined the allied cause.
Mel Brooks brilliant me matey. You may not like his sense of humor (I'm taking the "U" out of humor as it is too Anglo) but it's slapstick, just like Monty Python and I love that group ... D'ya know ah mean mate? . Michael Palin is the best.
Slavery, however repugnant it is now, was once seen by the British Empire as a promising enterprise or trade to be exploited. And the English was succesfull in introducing it to America.
" Britain isn't particularly romantic but American girls seem to like our accents. "
You bet your arse you're not. You guys are the most uptight and stuck up folks when it comes to everything including romancing a fine young lovely bird. Be thankful you have that accent or you would never ever get laid.
But I'm quite sure you're a fine English lad and quite frankly, I have no ill feelings toward the English. They're good ally to America.
how the fuck can your ethnicity be American, you're made of immigrants, fine, if you live alongside the natives, but, instead, you go out and kill them, and place them in reservations, like animals... TUT TUT TUT...
but lets remember if ur american u either want to fuck jesus or shoot black people
if you're british you want to play soccer to be touched by other men, and get knocked over into mud and cry about it for a long, long time, and then drink tea over it till your teeth get yellow and rotten then take a shower with your soccer team. I JUST WENT THERE.
You play "American Football", a contact sport where a load of testosterone filled men ram into each other. You don't even need to try for a euphemism.
There's a game here called Rugby that's played a lot. It's a bit like American Football only they don't stop every 10 seconds,it requires more than just running in a straight line and people don't pad themselves up like a Hypochondriacs kid.
You guys drink much more coffee which is WAYYYYY more staining that tea.
British teeth ain't that bad.It's a stereotype that isn't true. Tell you what, I'll settle and say British have bad teeth if you admit that all Americans are fat and stupid, cos' that's how ur stereotyped world over.
How about you settle with the "TRUTH" and that is ALL British people have bad teeth, and a lot of British people are FAT also and just so you and your englishmen don't think i'm stereotyping i'll also say a lot of Americans are Fat also... You think Britain has no fat fucks then look around dude Get over it prick
How do you know so much about "American football" oh thats right, American football is played in your dumb fucking country once every year, and boy does your Englishmen sure love it, dont try and say they dont either, ive seen the games being played over there and they had a full stadium of you worthless fucks, oddly enough you people were drinking tea and everytime i saw the people in the stands cheering and smiling i saw they had bad teeth lmao i probably saw you or one of your family members... what a bunch of idiots, your country is full of them.
dont worry mate, im sure when i watch any programme from america i'll see one of your relatives, after all the incest and all, so, how is your girlfriend, i mean sister?
Also, exactly, American football is played once here every year, whereas, proper football (soccer for around 1% of the world) is played in America in something called the MLS pretty much all the time... unlucky mate...
Americans copied Soccer from football, because Football was created in Tudor England shortly after America was discovered and American football is a copy from rugby again made in Tudor England so stick that up your backside
I find this hilarious. Not only because your punctuation is terrible but also that you've got British football completely out of line.
Furthermore, if I'm correct, the men who play Rugby here, do not wear frames or helmets. They are /real/ men. Whereas the men in America who play rugby wear complete 'body armour'. Obviously, they are afraid to get themselves hurt.
Not all of us drink tea and I have met and seen many Americans with 'rotten' teeth, as you put it.
You lose, a recent study found British teeth are the most healthy in the developed world, yours might be whiter or straighter but theyre rotten.
I worship Jesus I don't want to fuck him, you arrogant little fuck, its not Americas fault you dumbasses had bad parents that didnt take you to church to learn about God.
Go read a bible, you fucks! no on second thought dont, just go to hell!
Oh and not everyone in America is racist towards blacks, I'm racist towards you English fuck though, no one here in America likes you not to mention a lot of countries don't like you UGLY pieces of shit!
Shut up you bible bashing fucking inbred I like the majority of Americans as they have a brain and can realise that anyone that says no one likes britain is a brainwashed idiot like yourself if Americans don't like Britain then why is there over 350,000 Americans who currently live in the uk and why is the uk in the top 5 of most liked and visited country in the world? So why don't you get your facts right and stop disrespecting a country you properly have never been too as I like America and Americans generally but people like you give America a bad name
Bloody hell what is this wanker on!!. Keep him on American land is what I say !!
have you ever read the bible it is very contradicting
PSA 92:12: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree."
ISA 57:1: "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart.
You can fuck your mumsy for all I care. Fact of the matter is England is infested with child molesters and other ungodly deviant behavior because the Anglican church failed to do its job of keeping the English people from straying off course to Satanism. Maybe the Anglican church should reunite with the Vatican again. Britain is devoid of morals because it lost its belief in the higher being.
And American is infested with fat fucks, paedophiles and religious nutcases like you who is holding the human race back. God is fictional, no evidence whatsoever, case solved. Fucking yank.
God bless you my dear English son for thou art a lost soul. Ye mumsy's womb must be infected with AIDS when she gave birth to you as ye know not what you are talking about. Ye soul will burn in hell as y'all child molesters in England. No god no morals in thy country England.
Thomas 36:36 - " Ye English teeth must be fix as good denture is thy soul of ye body".
The Vatican is full of pedos and murderers. Athiests are almost always the most loving caring ethically moral people there are, and statistics by athiesm in countries and charity show this.
Ever heard of the saying " there are no atheist in a foxhole"?
Do you know what your grand daddy did when he was fighting the Germans? He was in his foxhole he dug for his safety as he was being shelled heavily. Do you know what he was doing in his foxhole? He was praying mate.
Here's a quote from an AMERICAN president, Herbert Hoover:
"The use of the nuclear weapon, with its indiscriminate killing of men, wonen and children, revolts my soul."
Herbert Hoover wasn't alive when the bombs dropped, and I'm relatively sure this whole thing is sarcastic because everyone on both sides knows almost no history at all or displays any rational reasoning or thought.
WTF?!! THEY SURRENDERED becaus u killed a few million people, I'm pretty sure that if a nuke was dropped in new yrok, and more were threatened to be dropped on different cities, America would surrender.
Japan have come back though, even after ur mass murder (as good as the holocaust), and are know the strongest economy in the world, much ahead of America!!!!!
not quite dumb fuck japan is the 3 largest economy and falling fast after the earthquake, fell 10% in a few days.
and after america dropped the a 2 bombs we fucking rebuilt japan if i wasn't for us dropping the bombs they would not be nearly the power they are today
I would expect you to build their city, that doesn't justify you killing millions of innocent people, for the last time the Japanese and the British have been friends from the moment we met, it was their emperor who decided to go with Nazi Germany. for example Japan helped us out one hell of a' lot more than America did in WW1,, I am not going to fight with you though as I think that that would be the most disrespectful thing to do to the deceased soldiers of WW2, that includes ALL soldiers; British, American, German, Japanese, Russian and all others, the enemy government were wrong, the soldiers were just following orders.
I would love to see an American and an Englishman in a ring duking it out. I think the way Americans fight, I mean their fight style, beats and Englishman anytime, anyday. The Brits also has a history of introducing a sport to the world and then losing it completely - like Rugby and boxing.
Americans are terrific in any sports but become prima donnas once on top. Sportsmanship and humbleness goes out the window. Good example is Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Here is my question:
If there is ever a rubber match between America vs England, who wins? Better yet, If the former Colonies fight its former colonizer again, who will remain standing?
Americans, blind brainwashed patriots. And where is America's economy? lol Australia has 20 million people and even our dollar is stronger than the U.S with 400 million people.
Japan was nuked because America had a new toy and they could use racism and hate to justify using it on Japan, that had already pretty much given up.
If not for Pearl Harbour the U.S of A would of still been in bed with Hitler.
Americans just have no grasp on anything that is alien to them, like other religions or cultures, if it's not done the U.S way, then it must be weird and wrong.
America is the new Nazi Germany if you think about it, Invade other countries illegally, force their will and ways of life on them, and kill anyone who disagrees all under the guise of doing it out of love for the mother land.
I mean the fact 99% of Americans think they incorrectly live in a democracy shows just how retarded and ignorant they are. (seriously America IS NOT a democracy, do some reading)
Any person with half a brain can do some reading and easily see America loved Nazi Germany, and how many Americans helped with the so called "holocaust" they claim to detest, people like Henry Ford of Ford Motors even has links to them some companies involved in Nazi chemical warfare and mind control research had Americans on their boards, funnily the German board members were all tried while the Americans were untouched.
America, a country founded on Hypocrisy.
Soooooo you Nazi's found those WMD's yet?
Any ways this is for the non Americans out there, as you'd have more luck getting through to a retarded duck with mad cow disease than any American.
In God We Trust? lol go back and reread your fucking bible.
So after reading these posts and seeing all the anti-american hate on here i suddenly laughed. i mean really? you cant say shit to make me sad, Im American i mean hahah wow thats all i gotta say no matter what i know im more important than you. And japan? really? fuck em shoulda just glassed that place with nukes, i mean now they just watch porn and build robots total lost there let me tell ya. I mean haters gonna hate when you live in the greatest country in the world. (which btw is like you know bigger than then entire european continent.) And to the Brits, we kicked your ass twice and then saved your ass in WW2. YOUR WELCOME YOU ARROGANT FUCK.
Haha really? Typical American attitude "Fuck em, fuck em all" And I heard US joined the war after they got caught with their pants upside down. You couldn't give a shit about europe. Oh and by the way we could have easily stopped Germany by ourselves ever read about the Battle of Britain in WW2? No thought not you arrogant yank. little did you know there were MORE Brits then yanks at D-Day. Maybe you should stop watching Saving Private Ryan and all that other Propaganda.
Really? You fuckers were down to less than 3 hundred spitfires and hurricanes and all your tanks were brought in my American made merchant ships traded for some Carribean Islands as England was close to chapter 11 ( that's bankruptcy man). England could never beat a powerful German army without American financial support, supplies, and millions of COWBOYS!!! Yeah right ... the Germans took less than 3 weeks to blitz your arse to the coast of Dunkirk, then the final humiliation, a call for every damn boat in England to cross the English channel to pick up and ferry what's left of your wet and cold crying pussy army. From a powerful army who built and empire across the world to a crying pussy army who begged America to join in.
England did win the Battle of Britain and gotta hand it to the " Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few " they were so good that many thought they were really Americans fighting for England. Chop Chop, Pip Pip.
Saving Private Ryan was brilliantly made by one of the best film makers of all time, Spielberg. The movie The Battle of Britain was horrible! Too much stiff upper lip.
Ya, England better be fucking grateful right fucking now because there would be no England if it wasn't for us so quit saying we "stole your glory" because, honestly, you guys were everything but dead at that point! Point in Case!!
Ya, England better be fucking grateful right fucking now because there would be no England if it wasn't for us so quit saying we "stole your glory" because, honestly, you guys were everything but dead at that point! Point in Case!!
ever heard of dramatisation? Saving Private Ryan basically shows the whole of the D-Day landings to be conducted by Americans, next you'll be telling me that animals CAN talk, according to Looney Tunes, stop getting brainwashed...
Lol, you are a foolish child. British government officials, multiple war experts, and countless others have determined that without any American assistance Germany would have won the war. It was also determined that if America kept supplying England and other allies that Germany would have still lost, but that it would have been a much longer war, and Germany would have held more bargaining power and likely kept a lot of the territory they gained throughout the war.
Case in point, if you had ZERO assistance from America, you would probably be living in Nazi Germany. It has been discussed to the point where is beating a dead horse.
And I am not even American, nor do I live there, so you can't even use "blind patriotism" against me.
As much as I love Japan (I live here) I feel I should point out that Japans GDP numbers have been recognised as false for a long time and the true numbers are not known. But it is basically due to failed investment being marked falsely into GDP. And Japan has been a stagnant economy for many many years now, infact 2 decades I believe.
how can you be so horrible, the japanese moto is to fight to the death, two wrongs dont make a right, the nazis may dropped a few bombs on us but u massacred a city of innocent people , most of them hated the war, its their emperor that joined the nazis, the japs helped us during ww1 by taking the germans from behind, they were a great asset, as i recall america was voted the country that took the very least amount of time in both wars, dont be proud of killing the innocent and honourable people of japan, they are very nice people, i met one girl from japan whose grandfather died three days before i met her as he had been suffering from atomic blistering since the atomic blast. when she brought it up the poor girl just started crying i being the only one their had to comfort her for the rest of the day, i am a guy but its fine as im gay it wasn't awkward, please just dont be proud of nuking these people, they weren't soldiers and couldn't defend themselves, please dont be proud of this. some of these people have been suffering ever since they were young children who are now in there 70's and 80's. c'mon, show some respect.
With all due respect, I find it unfair to put all the blame on America for what is happening in the world today. Its the British who divided Iraq from Kuwait, Drew the borders between India and Pakistan, not to mention Palestine and the rest of the Middle East. The British created the mess and now America is cleaning it up.
Regarding Japan .... they started the whole damn thing and America finished it for them. They attacked America and the U.S. reacted. Just as much as when the Argentine army attacked a British Sovereign territory and the British responded by expelling the invaders.
Nuking Japan? Well if you read WW2 books, the US intelligence, aware of Japanese fanatical creed in war, predicted that a million or more Allied soldiers will perish during the invasion of Japan. If you're the President then, would you rather take the odds or use a weapon that you possess and end the war in an instant? Hitler almost had the bomb. What do you think he would do if he had it during The Battle of Britain? England would be toast!
Peace to the English and Americans. Two great competitive cousins.
not only that, we WARNED them we would if they didn't surrender. the way the world is now is COMPLETELY england's fault, the way they colonized and gave everyone aids
Britain did not want to seperate India, can we also note that Britain united India in the first place. The Pakistinians seperated India in their demand to have their own nation during British withdrawel. The Pakistianians of the time basically told the British, when your rule is gone we will break into fighting and murder each other, so give us our own land.
The problems in the Middle East stem from clashes of the Abrahamic religions and predate British rule, dont try to pin it on Imperial past, geographically the wealthiest healthiest parts of the world are all ex british colonies.
Religion is often the biggest aggravator worldwide.
I think its unfair to put the blame on either nation.
I personally love them both.
If it was dropped on a military base then perhaps I could agree. But innocent civilians? If the Nazi's had developed the bomb first and dropped it on say NY. Wouldn't you think that would be an horrific thing to do.
well that would have been nice good riddance to bad rubbish, no more Americans... i would be a happier person and so would most people... except Mexicans they actually like you guys, that's right fat sweaty hairy fucks like you guys and that it no one else :P
Americans are just proper idiots some i like but some are just pure idiots
by nuking a city with no viable military targets. well done you fucking idiots
but what if Japan said fuck you we are going to continue to fight what then drop nuke after nuke
wow yes we droped a nuke on them, but the japanese followed bushido (means death before dishonor) and they would rather die than be captured be the marines/army or any other enemy, and before you say its was just the japanese military that did that, well there is plenty of footage of japanese women and children training to fight, they rather would blow us up than surrender or commit suicide. if you don't belive me just resreach the battle of saipan a little and you will see bushido in affect. oh and if we decided to invade japan it would cost both sides more deaths than both the atomic bomb droppings (including civilians considering that they followed bushido). even after we droped those bombs they still weren't going to give up thats until russia decided enter the pacific theater and then they surrendered. and we entered about 2 years from when germany declared war on poland, and thats not " fucking" long
we brits were already kicking the crap out of germany before u joined, u just tried to steal all the fucking glory, well it didn't work dumbasses, ps: im only on here for tonight, reply however u want, ill never see it dumbass red neck/yank.
Hey don't forget we Aussies. We were helping from the get go, it didn't take Tasmania getting bombed for us to join in. Although joining in caused us to have Japan attempt to invade us we didn't resort to BS like nukes, I mean Americans can judge and criticise but FFS when did you guys get invaded during WW2? I agree, America just came in and tried to claim the glory of a war already won without there help.
"Don't forget us Aussies. We stood over your shoulder and watched the ENTIRE THING"
Crikey!!! You Salty's don't count. It's US vs the Tea Baggers. Just finish your Foster's, eat your vegemite sandwich and corral all those crocs in your hood before it bites your arse.
jesus i cant understand what you are saying, let alone what side you're on!! xD
we don't say crickey,
WTF does salty's mean?
Do YOU know what tea bagging is?
NO Australians drink Fosters it's deemed probably our worse beer yet we make a lot of money exporting it to you lot bahahaha
We never stood watching from the sidelines, there's a town in France that even celebrates Australia day because WE liberated them in WWII
We got fucked over at Gallipoli for the Brits & the backed you dogs during the atrocities you inflicted on Vietnam which btw you LOST no matter how u try to put it YOU LOST!
If we are going to judge the two nations on their military even though try have both fucked over a LOT of innocent people for purely superficial gain, in this day America should know better than to do what they do to people. We've seen the result of illegal invasion (especially here) shit you've seen it in your own country what about what happened to the native Americans. Youre meant to learn from history not repeat it!!
Maybe if you started looking after your own people instead ofbombing others for no reason you might be able to one day be worthy of "best country" until then youre just a crass, ego centric, bully gronk of a country. You scream new money btw.
G'Day to you mate! How's it going sport? Thought I'd have a pint of some fine Foster's while having me tackah ayyyyy!
You guys sure love the Brits don't ya? You'd bent over and allow the Brits to violate you there and you'd a smile in your face. Hey, as the saying goes " birds of a feather flock together. Your great grand daddy and tens of thousands of his mates were ordered to their deaths by incompetent Brit commanders In Galipoli and other battle fields in Europe and you're still linning up to die for England - with a smile. Why don't you guys do what the Yanks did - have your own United States and your own personality. Australia is a British lackey devoid of its own culture. Declare your own republic like what the Irish did.
Teabagging is what the aboriginese did your fine mother.
A salty is a croc mate.
you mean elegant polite english people and american stupid ass bastards?
For our Commonwealth, the worlds biggest most peaceful group of countries. Americas just jealous they arnt in ^_-
Me fine English lad but I must insist upon correcting your misleading premise that England was about to defeat Germany when America walked in and stole its glory. I say dear boy It was the prodding and conniving of Prime Minister Churchill that led President Roosevelt, once committed, to send all its resources to Europe and not in the Pacific theater where American POW's are incarcerated. If it was not for our former subjects in the new world things would have been different today in Picadilly Circus. By George I hope you've gotit!!
Yeehaw cowboy! Y'all brit are like messed up and shit y'all. But too bad we gots ta gets our panties in a twist in Pearl Harbor cos we like deserved it, and we couldn't giv two sheets bout europe but we decided ta join da war ya'll cos we wants revenge on da Japsss. Yeehawwww! Come on buddies and blondes lets start a war yeah!.
I must ask you to refrain from your taunting as I cahn't seem to convince me fine Engish mates in this site to hold on to their bollocks so that they can fully explain what your fellow Yanks did to save us from being annihilated by the Gerries in world war 2. I just cahn't bare to see our children growing up today without full knowledge of the immense help that our dear ol England received from America. It is indeed a pleasure to be a lackey of the United States when they need to unilaterally attack a cruel and dangerous tyrant as we, in our long history, had our own cruel and misled tyrant kings and queens. Let us hope that Prince Edward inherits the thrown as he is the only true macho man who can lead our nation to join forces with the US again. Cheers for Prince Edward, a true man, and cheers to America for keeping the world secure from tyrants! Hip Hip hooray, pip pip, chop chop, by George you've gotit!!!!
P.S. America please send 1 million dentist.
we came in because the pussies were whining to us... our war was against japan. It's hilarious the way the british are so full of themselves xD
The Bushido motto is not true, this is the way of the samurai for crying out loud, you watch way to many movies, as I recall you killed all of the samurai by what I would call 100% cheating, you made them run over a large field to get you and even at that they knocked out a third of the imperial division, you had Gatling guns and you still almost lost. now don't try to lie to justify what you did, there is nothing more ridiculously insulting and disrespectful than stamping on graves of those poor millions, and even if the Bushido crap was true, at least their would not be thousands still suffering today/ or is it millions, just do the respectful thing and at the very least admit it was a terrible and horrible thing to do, if that isn't horrible then I don't know what the **** is.
And you are saying Dropping an atomic bomb, which obliterated thousands of lives within a millisecond is a better option than manually go in there and shoot your way to the generals who refuse to give up?
You also got some information wrong. Japan didn't surrender until russia entered the pacific theater, or what you retards call it, japan surrendered when the USA dropped the second atomic bomb over Nagasaki, which despite didn't hit the city directly, still caused alot of people to die. That was the main reason the japanese decided to give up. Get your information right.
The nuke was first developed in birmingham which is in England
You pathetic crying whiny sissy motherfucker. All you punks do is cry whine, and complain because it is a well known fact AMERICA is the number one damn nation on the planet, and YOU know that, YOu piss moan and cry, but your leaders wait to see what we do before they make major decisions, for if someone starts kicking your panzy asses who do you cry to for help. You damn well know who, for just like we kicked your punk faggot asses to gain our independance we kick others ass when you can't sissy so shut the fuck up .. I am over there at times, and I will be glad to meet you and remind you what the hell we are if like queer.
are you actually frothing at the mouth dude ? I dont have a leader.
look, I thought we got on all right, and I have six American friends, we get on great, our leaders do wait to see what you will do half of the time, (JUST LIKE HOW YOUR LEADERS WAIT TO WATCH FOR US THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME)
1. The war of independence happened against the English, not the British, England is one of the four country's of Britain, Britain is Scotland, England, Wales and northern Ireland, we Scots have had disputes with the English as well. I can safely say they were back stabbers, Most of the white American citizens are Scotch/Irish, but the MODERN English are nice as well, of course not this guy, but come on, wouldn't you be irritated if someone made a hate page on your country just because they met one bad egg.
2. My main point is if your going to insult them, make sure you always say England instead of Britain and insult the English from 300 years ago, not the modern ones. also I heard that an Englishman took the piss out of 9/11, now him I think you should let have all the insults he can take and more, that's like you guys laughing at the Hiroshima bomb, and I guess you know how terrible a thing that would be to say. So he deserves it but you know that there was no reason for you guys to start taking the p*** out of the English peoples country, if your a good guy then you will post your final insults to the guys you have true irritation towards and drop out like I am doing, the arrogance of some people on here (American and British) is just terrible, iv'e actually saw comments insulting each others brave soldiers that fought and died on D-day, its horrifying. I hope that both Brits and Americans on here will stop this, My great grandfather fought in WW1, 7 of my other great relatives fought in WW2 including my great-great uncle who died on that day previously fought in Anzio and Sicily. He was on the first drop and still managed to get onto the beach! sorry for the rant, I was enraged with anger at the disrespect of some of these people.
"but your leaders wait to see what we do before they make major decisions"
Now our leaders are bullied into playing along due to threats like trade restrictions.
e.g if you don't agree we'll not buy your beef and wheat.
Thanks again for providing proof that Americans are ignorant to the way the world works outside their own borders.
should i mention vietnam. got kicked the fuck out of by gunless jungle crawlers. BIGTIME. and bare in mind nobody ever asked for your help. you joined in when everybody was too fucked to fight anymore. you are the heroes of the world. come over here and i will remind you what fucking pain feels like yank!
America didn't declare war on Nazi-ism you retard, Germany declared war on the USA. On the 11 December 1941. Hitler told the Reichstag: "Germany and Italy have been finally compelled ... in loyalty to the Tri-Partite Pact, to carry on the struggle against the U.S.A." and declared war on you. I'd carry on, but you've clearly set aside this special time to shame yourself in public....
Shit, after letting them take over half they continent? Hell, they weren't OUR problem until all you tard had given up. So we fixed it with Russia and yeah.
yeah we cared about the poor people who died for no reason and when Nazi's invaded Poland Brittish people declared war you Americans didn't come in until 1941 when the war started in 1939

Watching from the sideline? THE USA JOINED WW2 IN 1941! THEY JOINED IN WW1 IN 1917-ONE YEAR B4 IT WAS OVER! And no, you didn't "beat the shit out of and jacked all her belongings and left her with a cold rainy island no one would ever want."
We left YOU with a fat, iliterate nation of ugly dumb fucks. Now piss off back to your trailer and shag your sister/wife. And after than 5 second fuck, GET AN EDUCATION
You made me have a massive burst of patriotism :D you hit the nail on the head there!
1 reason why britain is better than america.... we dont call britain england
LOL ARE YOU A RETARD? USA HAS NEVER FAUGHT A WAR BY ITSELF IN HISTORY... YOU CANT HANDLE ANY WARS ON YOUR OWN.
Remember the Falklands war when YOUR TOP GENERAL Told us that taking back the Falklands was a millitary impossibility? Your country is in so much debt its funny.You wont be around in the next 100-200 years.Russia will probably cut your gas supply,you will try and attack them and then they will slaughter you all.
hey buddy....i hate to inform you about the whole debt thing, but if you figure in the whole population factor to the debt you'll realize that the uk actually have more national debt per person than the us, and is also increasing at a faster rate. so next time you have a smart moment....do some research first....kthanx xD
at todays date 14 trillion and accruing interest at 5 million dollars per hour.as an american who knows a bit about finance i would keep quiet if i were you .we have been selling junk bonds to the rest of the world for years .its taken them a long time to catch on but the dollar is collapsing and they are not buying anymore,remember that the greedy bastards in wall st have shafted us americans as well.
Here's something that will fucking blow your mind. Want to know why the American dollar is falling? Because those fucking liberals that want to "just be like Europe". HAHA fucking Europe. Land of even more debt and fucking idiots of the world. Hey, ever noticed the more east you go from the US, the more limey ass-tards you seem to find? Hey Hitler was EUROPE, STALIN- RUSSIA, Mao- CHINA. Oh and yeah, the god emperor of WW2 that the U.S fucked in the ass with nuclear annihilation, Hirohito. Hm, pure coincidence. Oh if you haven't noticed, the first 3 are the world's top killers. Mao is number one in kills, followed by Stalin, and hitler. I hope they burn in hell for eternity. And we have an idiot in the white house called Obama. Yo Obama, get your thumb out of your ass! Fucking typical liberal.
1.) The more east you go in US, the more intelligent you are. You're obviously some southern dumbass redneck/California surfer dude fag.
2.) You're obviously another far right, conservative, bill o reilly-watching dick who believes God is blessing America in more ways than one and all other countries are evil. Fucking brainwashed conservative. Fucking amerifag yank tard.
America has fought in a war on its own - Vietnam and we all know who left with their tails between their legs here
we didnt join in vietnam because we weren't scared of communists
I think history shows Australia and New Zealand were there too, because US needed help.
America cannot WIN a war by itself, the all ways need to have someone by their sides because if they lose by themselves they have no-one else to blame, with the war in the middle east America wanted our help, so we decided to do so as that is what allies do, we have done more beneficial work over there and what do the yanks do in return? they try and steal all the credit and "accidently" bomb our our troops and and tanks. So tell me this, why in the hell are Great Britain and america even allies when the yanks are too scared to fight a war by themselves and when they do decide to get involved in a war the join years all ready into the conflict.
Oh yeah here is another piece of american stupidity, you know pearl harbor, where the americans where taken completely by surprise... 2 years into a WORLD WAR

If England declares war on America today who do you think will win?
If England attacks Pearl Harbor what do you think will happen to London?
If England announces cultural warfare on America what do you think will happen to the Spice Girls?
If England pursues economic sabotage on America what do you think will happen to the dole collecting sods of Manchester?
If England persists on being intellectually superior than America what do you think America will do to your Queens English accent?
If England elects to send Boy George, George Michaels and Sir Elton John as Britain's diplomatic envoys to the UN what do you think an erect America will do to a bent over England?
If England beats America in American Football what do you think will happen to David Beckham and Posh Spice? They live in LA you know.
And if England keeps sending TV feeds on its Royal weddings what do you think will happen to all the Queens portraits in Canada?
The whole point is that England are too intelligent to do any of these things!
It's so sad, people resort to weak arguments to try any win an unwinnable cases.
When will people realise we all live on ONE world!!!
But it seems your mates in this site isn't that smart. Don't get me wrong I agree with you 100 percent. There is always this competitive juices flowing between Brits and Yanks, who's better and who's not, but the point is its quite healthy. Unlike what Britain did to America, America will not and will never attack England as it is the only American ally who will go toe to toe to deal with other belligerent nations. England is America's reliable partner to solve world issues and to maintain stability. America will never invade England and then burn the Parliament or 1 Downing Street just to prove something. America is not a barbarian nation but will exact retribution if punched in the nose. That freakin' Wikileaks guy can get away right now and am quite sure he will be protected by the British courts but eventually he will get his.
Spice Girls really? What year are you living in? 1996?
And American can't do anything to the Queen's accent (Or any other British Accent). It's written in stone.
For a "Proud Yank" You really are quite stupid and living behind the times.
It's called parody, just like what J.B. Hour wrote in this site you dumbass. You couldn't get the premise right? Because you're the stupid one you idiot. Now go see your dentist.
Really the Spice Girls? What year are you living in? 1996?
And America can't do anything to the Queen's Accent (or any other British Accent). It's written in stone.
For a "Proud Yank" are really are quite stereotypical, stupid and behind the times.

What's up with British people pronouncing Z as Zed. I was in an Engineering class with a British teacher talking about x,y,z graph, but kept saying X,Y,ZED. I was like wtf is Zed? Then is dawned on my, "Oh he is from Britain and has stupid ass pronunciations."
That's the way it's been pronounced since the alphabet was finalised.
Why do you call a pavement a "sidewalk"? What if I don't want to walk on it? What if I want to cycle? What if I can't walk and I have to use a wheelchair?
because pavement can mean road too imbecile. it just means something paved.
mate, you speak fucking english, ENGLISH, youre the ones who have 'stupid ass pronunciations' get a job
I speak AMERICAN its better than your english bullshit. I'll get a job just as soon as you brits grow a set of balls where that fleshy patch between your legs is. Also, the correct term for 0 is zero, not nil. Take a math class you fucking reprobates.
Okay, just because in the US you may spell certain words differently doesn't mean you speak a different language. If someone in Japan learns English from watching an American tv show does that mean because he is in Japan, while speaking English, he is actually speaking Japanese?
A 0 can be zero or nil - and guess what? Both terms are used in England. It depends on usage. Much like Zucchini or Courgette. Both are correct.
Another thing, it may be an idea if you actually research what reprobate means - maybe you should take an English class?
I could change the spelling of certain English words but it doesn't mean I have created a new language. YOU speak ENGLISH. NOT American.
Oh, and to insinuate that the Brits don't have balls is rubbish - just look at us historically when it comes to warfare - nobody has kicked off more wars than us. Nobody has fought in more wars than us. Nobody has WON more wars than us.
During the last major threat to world stability it was the BRITS who declared war on Nazi Germany while the US tried her hardest to stay out of it. Oh, and when China or Russia do declare war on the US just hope that we still have the balls to back you up - as Britain will be the first nation that the almighty US of A comes begging for help as an ally. As usual.
Back on the whole "take a math class" thing - who do you think it was who introduced math to the Americas? That's right - the British. The majority of your "culture" originally came from the British. The British (and I include the Irish here) BUILT your damn country. The British introduced so much into your country. Hell, I would imagine YOU are descended from the British yourself.....
God Save The Queen and fuck Independence Day.
You're absoultely right. However, those dumb bastards from Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales did most of the fighting and dying for England.
England needs to grow a set of cajones.
Actually no, thousands of English men died in ww2 and 1, and the other wars my country fought, people are really annoying me, they keep making up 'facts.' I say people in America need to start respecting us a bit more, after all, we did pretty much make your coutry.
Yes you are full of talk but too coward to go anything other than Anonymous as your name.. To me you are a nobody that has nothing of value to say. Funny really as all white americans are European in origin so when you abuse the English take note of the fact that most of you ARE English and a massive proportion of your place names are named after the places here in England after the original place names where the settlers came from you moron!!
Well The language is English there is no language such as American
There is a Language called American. It's the bastardized version of the English language.
Oh I'm sorry we aren't properly speaking the language we invented. get your own language twat.
It's called English remember. It was in England long before America was founded so that's not a very good point. I don't think you guys mispronounce anything mind. There are so many accents in England that very few people there speak "queens English". I'm welsh btw so that's why I'm calling England there, not here. :L
I must agree that the Brits English is much superior and proper as opposed to the American language but who the fuck cares. The American English is contemporary and cool. I mean who the fuck wants to listen to Shakespearean English anyway? The difference between England and America is England's society relies heavily on a "class" system whereby one is judged by the way he or she speaks. If one speaks with a Cockney accent, he or she is labeled a low life immediately and therefore becomes low on the class system and economic totem pole. Of course America doesn't escape that English introduced language bigotry but America had learned from the evils of King George and had become accepting.
youre a fucking idiot, never sure you realised, its called ENGLISH for a reason, and, moreover, most of the world say zed...
Yeah but as they were not Americans, they will never acknowledge or are probably even aware Australia and New Zealand helped.
Like they have in most of their stupid wars. I mean in this current Iraq War it was Australia's SAS who went in first, and why did we help?
Trade threats like always.
Learn what? How to shave a sheep? How do avoid a croc when swimming in the billabong?
The British and French were there also. Small special forces recon detachments.
Actually, you were not alone, Australia was in that with you and don't forget the South Vietnamese, but you are right about the outcome.
Noone dickhead the americans pulled out of the war therefore you guys left with you tails between your legs learn your nations history before coming on here and posting shit :)
The Australians fought in Vietnam and when we bounced you lost!
Yeah that's right you lost.
Also it was you Americans leaving with your tails between your legs (and leaving the Vietnamese with the horror of your napalming) because our finest prime minister Gough Whitlam withdrew our troops as soon as he was elected because it was just another one of your stupid shows of bravado & we had no reason to be there. We were only there originally because the previous pm wanting to stay chummy.
If a surging China decided to take a piece of your Great Barrier Reef or Northern Territories, who are you gonna call?
Australia sent two fucking brigades in Vietnam during the world. I don't think that two pussy ass brigades made any difference in the war.
Don't skit Australia, they are a better country then America and I'm Brittish
I bet you haven't been to England, we have different accents like Scouse = Liverpool or Geordie= Newcastle so most of us DON'T talk posh
well retard theres a war that we handled and won its called the mexican american war.
and like your generals haven't made mistakes too. OH and your our ally RETARD and your also a democracy/ also an anti communist country. and if russia would want to take over europe like they tried to back in the cold war, and if they were to win against us what would stop a country who has more fighting men and arms power from taking over you're island if they could beat one of the most powerful militaries in the world, in other words for the RETARD, if we go down you will go down to
America - alone - won one war.
England - on our own - won many wars.
America - Pussies.
What about a "small" country like England colonized and ruled most of the world and won many wars with sailing ships and muskets. Something a country many times it's size cannot do even with modern weapons and nukes lmao.
They won the war of independence because England/Britain realised Americans were retarded even back then and decided to go home and be glad it was done with. lol
Hey tea bag, maybe its a good idea for the Brits to start a new empire as its being overshadowed heavily by America. Try colonizing America again and let see what happens.
Ok. Let's start a war. Us vs. UK. No help from no one. Now tell me WHO THE FUCK WOULD WIN?
Unit for unit UK forces would wipe the floor with the US we actually train our troops, how many friendly fire incidents with US forces? 71 since 1991!!! i mean WTF and against just your supposed allies you have killed 61 and injured 96 since 1950 so to be honest you would just kill yourselves in a 'friendly fire incident' you dumb fucks
The term friendly fire was created by americans that says a lot about you military
You're missing the point. The 2nd world war tipped the scale in favor of the allies when America entered and took over. The allies won because of Americas economic might and its surplus of fighting men. England could not have won the war without America as England was close to bancruptcy. The Lend Lease Act gave England a pocket of air to breathe but not enough to completely defeat Germany. Germany was way too ahead in terms of technological superiorty than the Brits. Why do you think Prime Minister Winston Churchill was always side by side with President Roosevelt. He was goading the President to enter the war but the President is quite aware that the American people was adamantly opposed to another European made conflict. This is the main reason why America was reluctant to side with England. It took the Japanese and Hitler's declaration of war against American that led President to declare war on both axis power.
Next week I will teach you young fine English and Australian lads your own history.
Cheerio!!! Pip Pip!!!! By George you've gotit!!!
We could handle it on our own you dumb fucked up piece of american dirt. You guys joined the war after millions of lives were lost. I
The Chinese told the Brits" its time for you to get the fuck out Hong Kong ", and the Brits took off like a bat out of hell. Why? It is because England degraded it self so much that it can no longer fight a war by itself without someone holding its hand - America.
So it was nothing to do with the lease expiring then?
Even though I think it is pathetic saying that a country is the best due to a war, when was the last time America fought a war on it's own and won?
You are a pathetic bag of shit you fucking moron.
Come on now me fine English lad. There is no need for profanity. As you British are aware that proper English demeanor dictates stiff upper lip and absolutely no cursing.
The American is supposed to be barbarian and the English is the fine maiden in distress. Act like a maiden you tea bag.
you a faggot of the nth degree (you did study maths, oh sorry, math, so you understand what nth stands for).
There is no reasoning with someone who is up there own arse that they can not comprehend that the majority of this planet hate the united states of america. I can't say America, as that is an entire continent including both South and North America, but you would know that wouldn't you.
Now fuck off and go back to kindergarten.
(I'm not British, but I have a lot more respect for them that the USA).
We're getting the flack now because of what the Brits did in the 19th and 20 century. The Brits fucked up the world and now America has to do the clean up. Now the English losers are acting like some innocent bystander.
The British empire was founded under the barrel of a gun. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people all over the world were murdered because some King wanted to start an empire. The Indians and Pakistanis are still fighting over the demarcation line the Brits created.
Top Ten why the Brits are at fault in the world's current situation.
1. There could be a nuclear holocaust there and the Brits will ask "who me?".
2. The Arabs might attack Israel again and the Brits will ask " its not our fault".
3. Iraq could invade Kuwait again and the Brits will ask " Iraq and Kuwait again? Pardon me but blame the Yanks ... I'm having me fine tea".
4. "The Juntas in Burma? Who cares about that country. Besides, they have lousy tea".
5. " Can we still send our low life scumbags (convicted felons) down under?"
6. " Can we still subjugate our fine cousins from good ole America?"
7. " Can we still use the Canadians to fight our wars?"
8. " Do you think the Chinese will allow us to go back to Hong Kong?"
9. " Can we have Malaysia and Singapore back?"
And Number .....
10. Blame the Irish not us!!!!!
1. It's the Americans who first used the nuclear bomb and will no doubt use it again.
2. Britain wanted Israelis and Arabs to live together in democratic peace but ended up being between two warring sides - mainly protected by the Jewish lobby in the States who hold your government to ransom constantly. Hence the propaganda you are fed at school at from Hollywood.
3. Britain joined in the First Gulf War and was just as effective as America. Shame about the American led 2nd war, simply for oil.
4. Britain doesn't like the junta in Burma and has sanctions against them. However, we don't air-strike them or invade them without good reason.
5. Australia was originally mainly a penal colony. What is the problem with that? It is a decent country now with one of the highest standards of living in the world.
6. We didn't subjugate our cousins - you were our subjects at the time, hence you became independent when the French kicked up a fuss to derail our war effort in Europe whilst they tried to build their shoestring empire.
7. Canadians have fought proudly for the Empire for all the right reasons, such as freedom and democracy. Basically these are empty words in the States.
8. We beat China in a war to have Hong Kong and several other places. Perhaps we should have had another war just to hang onto it. If we were America we probably would have.
9. Was all part of the same agreement, which we stuck to honourably.
10. Ireland was part of Britain when most of these things happened - so are equally to 'blame'. They became independent in 1922, and were neutral in WW2.
Lease expiring is irrelevant. If the British armed forces is still powerful the Parliament will dictate to the Chinese its new lease for Hong Kong. The Brits do not have the cajones to do that because its armed forces is way too degraded to fight.
Suggestion: The English should've offered the Chinese free opium for every China man for another century in Hong Kong.
However America wasn't to keen to fight after it 'failed to meet it's aims' (Lost) in Vietnam.
Fact of the matter is America did something to contain the spread of communism. Did England do anything? Better yet, can England do anything if its survival is on the line. No. Just like what Churchill did during the second world war, England will call Washington for a help.
We could handle it on our own you dumb fucked up piece of american dirt. You guys joined the war after millions of lives were lost. I
i do recall we never asked u to join and we were already kicking the shit out of germany by the time you joined, we took out anzio, then sicily, then we went for the north east coast normandy to sweep down through calle then paris, but u guy fucked the plan and killed half of your fucking army by jumping out ure shit ass boats and running THROUGH WATER 3 METERS DEEP AT 25 METERS off the coast and only getting through because they eventually ran out MG ammo, more than half of the areas you hit were a failure, when you joined you should have asked for a British plan so you didn't lose half of your military before you even got off the coast. your poor soldiers didn't have a chance. poor guys.
More than half of Europe was taken over, including France and England wad being bombed into ruins. We came in and took back France and pushed into Germany nearly single handed. The teach you some fucked up history at your tea parties.
Well that's wrong. I'm British but I'm not some arrogant, overzealous nationalist. We didn't win the War. We barely held out for most of it. But we did so against the odds, with extraordinary bravery. The same is true for the American's who fought on the Beaches of Southern France. The same again goes again for the Canadians, Australians and all of the allied forces. Hell, the Nazi's fought well. The sick racist Nazi's like Himmler and Goebbels that we think of as "Nazi's" did not represent all of the German people. Many people were forced into it in a country where saying no meant execution of yourself or even your family. The Nazi's faced one of the worst losses. Good German people died fighting for their country and their Family, many against their will and judgement, but History will always remember them as the enemy. They did not die heroes as our troops did. They died Villains.
Last and most important. I've seen Brits claim to have won the War and American who have said the same. Let's not forget that it was (hard as it for us capitalists to admit) the Soviet Union who stuck the hardest blow against the third Reich. The Nazi's blitzkrieg-ed their way through Europe virtually without challenge until they decided to turn on the Soviet Union. The Soviet victory at Stalingrad, is considered by most historians as the turning point of the war; when the Nazi's stopped winning most of their battles, but began losing most of them. When you combine this with the monumental loss of lives, the Russians who fought and gave their lives deserve our deepest respect. Whatever the motives of the Soviet authorities, the Russians where the main driving force in destroying Fascism in Europe.
You losers were on the verge of complete annihilation on the beaches of Dunkirk when, for some idiotic reason, Hitler ordered his panzers to hold off the attack. This gave Britain and its allies enough time to complete its humiliating retreat across the English Channel.
Question: With its depleted treasury, war machinery and men (I mean ladyboys), Does anybody really think that Britain could retake Europe against a powerful German Army by its own lonesome self?
Answer: Absolutely not!!!!
Solution: Stars and Stripes!!!
Motto: Hail America .... America rule the waves!!!!
It's called tactics. If we hadn't of retreated we would of lost the war it's as simple as that. If we hadn't of retreated we would of left Britain defenseless. We did the right thing because if we didn't retreat the Nazi's could be in charge (when I say Nazi's I mean the evil general's, Hitler and the die hard Nazi supporters not Germans.) I think this sums it up very well because if we had been invaded then America might of fallen two because the end of the second world war was a joint effort the British couldn't of done it without the American's and the American's couldn't of done it without the English.
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me
If we hadn't come there would of been no one left to help America .
Regardless of what the reasons were in retreating across the English Channel, fact of the matter is, it took the Germans less than three weeks to blitz the allies to Dunkirk. Guderian's new type of warfare worked to a "T".
I do understand the tactic of "live to fight another day". I was just merely stating my opinion on why America was crucial in defeating Germany. If you read most of your mates comments on the first and second pages of this site, they're saying that England and France was already winning the war ( on the Western front ) when America joined the crusade. Basically saying that America's contribution to the war effort was already irrelevant.
I'm saying not true at all. Quite the contrary, It was America's mighty war industry that brought resources ( logistics ) to England and millions of American soldiers that change the whole dynamics of the war in the West. President Roosevelt had to tread a fine line as most Americans did not want to participate in another European conflict. This is one of the reasons why America join late. Hitler made it easy for Roosevelt. I also mentioned in one of my comments that it was in America's best interest and security to support England in its fight against Hitler. If England falls America will most definitely follow.
If the american military was so mighty and powerful why did the lose nearly as many troops as us Brits yet they were in the war for less time
Because the Americans and the Canadians were in the front facing the enemy and the Brits were covering the rear.
the British lost a lot more troups and military personel in WW2 than the Americans did, in WW1 we lost infinitely more.
The disasters suffered by the Brits in WW2 and WW1 were attributed to its high command's callous strategic planning. Operation Market Garden was a total disaster and Verdun was a catastrophy in personnel loss.
and loads of americans were killed in operation market garden, its not just those operations where we lost our troups, and WW1 was completely different ball game, germany, russia, france and britain lost millions and the americans showed up with about 10 minutes to go.
Again it's a European conflict that had no bearing on America's interest and security. You must understand that back then during the first world war and up to the 20's and 30's, America was an isolationist country. America was similar to Switzerland in their foreign policy. America's being denounced now as a unilateralist but once upon a time America kept to itself. I really don't know the reason why America entered the first WW but they did entered late.
I dunno about hitler ordering the panzers to hold back at dunkirk, but i do know that he held them back in normandy on d-day, well, no one would dare wake him to ask him if they could be unleashed, and when he did wake he still held them back for a couple of weeks because he thought normandy was a feign and the real attack was coming in the calais region, d-day is still the greatest military accomplishment ever, but the germans could of pushed the lot of us straight back into the channel, and that brings me to another point, the panzers were only there because they were on respite from the eastern front, where the real war was, We (the British and Americans) owe russia everthing for defeating the germans, they absorbed all that Nazi might, untill literally the last few weeks of the war (a long time after d-day) at least 75% of hitlers forces were on the eastern front, and the russians suffered 1000 times more than us.
how dare you call our army lady boys! dick! the S.A.S has been voted the best special forces regiment in the world, we were the original special forces!
USA and the USSR were the only real winners of WW2, it was initially disasterous for everyone else. (its funny how these 2 countries both didn't fight untill 1941).
Yet again I'm going to tell you exactly what happened when the allies declared war on Hitler. The German panzers blitz the Brits, French, poles, and other allies opposed to Germany to the coast of Dunkirk in less than three weeks. That's freakin' amazing! You gotta give it to the Germans .... they are good and creative in battle. The allies, headed by the British army, or what's left of it, saved their arses by retreating across the English channel. Then Churchill lobbied heavily to get Roosevelt to join the allied cause. It took the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor and Hitler's declaration of war that finally gave Roosevelt the go signal to join in. Then supplies in billions of tonnage started pouring in to England as well as two million cowboys ready to lasso every German soldier in Europe. Anzio and Sicily were dominated by America - England's behind.
What you're referring to regarding your claim of England winning the war already before America entered is the Battle of Britain. England won at the home front due to its fine fighter pilots and its fine spitfires with Vera Lynne singing to them.
we were handling it fine on our own, you joined because Germany declared War on you. Read on your history and stop insulting the great British soldiers who fought against the Germans. I would never insult the American soldiers who also fought and died on that terrible day, the attitude of your comment horrifies me.
lol you need help you did get your idependce until 1971 other wise you will be still part of the royal territorys also USA, we sent more troops on D-day who made USA join WWll also this article says "germany occupied london" seriously they only bombed us not one full uniformed german set foot in london also we had 1.6 million in the fight at the time allong with the conscripts we where better russia owned 50% of berlin france owned something like 15% US 15% and england 20% something like that also we owned more than you who help you against the japs we did who was the biggest threat to the nazi's first russia then england bitch
nicely sed but wots wif all the beef man im 13 and i thought we got on and i looove america and havent got nuffin bad to say bout it and i love england asweel and ent got nuffin bad to say about it ether

okay, if we didn't show up for the war, where would you fucking tea drinkers be now? you would definitely be speaking in a german dialect. Gay Accent??? your accent is so gay, you even write gay. yea you don't shag sisters in trailers, but you do look at child porno (Sir Elton John, look it up). and fat? England has the highest obesity rate in all of Europe, fat ass. Thank the country that handed your ass to you in the 1700s and saved it in the the 1900s
We "tea drinkers" would have been fine thank you. Americasent some soldiers that didn't leave England until D Day 1944, 3 years after you arrived. We were never invaded by the Germans so you didn't help out there. The Russians were the ones who took Berlin, so they didn't need your help either so basically all you did was sell us food. Real helpful you could have a least given us a discount.
We'd be speaking German, excuse me, but Scotland has saved more lives than those lost in every single war and battle that has ever faced the planet earths history. You could take the current worlds population and comes not even a fraction close to the amount of lives Scotland has saved.
In other words, why don't you stick this crap about WWII up your arse, because if it wasn't for Scotland, your people would not only be dying in their millions, they'd not only live to an average of 40 years, they wouldn't be independent, after all, it wasn't an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish rebellion.
I know this comment was done ages ago, but i really do agree with you, im English btw, and im not downing my country, we had, and still do have men that will fight and die for our country, but Scotland have been amazing when it comes to war!
It was indeed a Scottish rebellion as there was no such thing as American then. Fact of the matter is, whether its Scottish or dissaffected English giving the finger to King George, the matter became American and Americans was able to free itself from English tyranny. Only Americans had the balls to do such act. I know what the great William Wallace did to preserve Scottish freedom and self respect against English abusive conduct, but what happened then? How come Scotland still bows to the Queen? Forgive me but I missed this subject in my history class.
You know what, do you want to just disrespect every country in Britian? What has your country done that is so amazing, you have had it so easy, Britian has been through hell and back, and you should get some respect, Britian is very, very old, and deserves to be treated properly. We are rich in history, some good some bad, and whenever something bad happens we always bounce back, and the majority of our kings and queens were amazing, i dont think anyone is a fan of king George I, II, III, or VI, tbh, they were pretty useless, but look at King Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth I, heck, we have survived civil wars, and we dont bang on about it all the time, our kings head was cut off for lords sake! So yes, before you disrespect us thurther, i think you should think about how brave England has been over the past couple thousand years, we have survived viking attacks, Bombs from the germans, Oliver cromwell, And alot more, and we will continue to do so, we are strong and we are brave. Rule Britania! Britania rule the waves!
Please don't look at it that way. I meant no disrespect to England. England was and still is a great country. The british are the most respectful, polite, and charming people in Europe. However, this site is all about which country is better and which one is not. Silly arguments that will go nowhere. If you read all the comments on this site, Americans are out-numbered and out-cursed. If you are very sensitive then this site is not for you. I'm simply standing up for America as it is being attack and bombarded heavily by young innocent British men. If I have offended you then please accept my apology. I'm really not a bad guy but I'm a wise arse though. Have a good day sir.
I respect that, and yes i do know the British are attcacking the Americans, and vise versa, i just think both sides should stop tbh, and im a girl, not a man. Have a nice day.
Oh! Then my apologies to you me fine English lass. I hope I did not offend you in anyway shape or form. Silly me, I thought that this site is all for blokes as the language is quite brutal. You are absolutely right! This tit for tat should cease. Hope all is well for you. Forgive me but what is tbh mean?
Cheers!
That's okay, and yes, the language is terrible on here. I think people should just agreee that every country has their strong and weak points. Tbh means To be honest :)
The scottish under Wallace never defeated the english in a pitched battle, neither did the yanks in revolutionary wars. the americans beat the british using guerilla tactics, the same way as the vietnamese beat the yanks. and the peak of british power and economic strength was about 100 years atfer the revolutionary wars. And i believe it was in 1814 the british went back to america and did really well, but we had to send troups beck to europe because napoleon escaped, plus we had troups and ships all over the world at the time too that we could of thrown at america, but we didn't.
tad homophobic aren't you? Elton John how in the hell is he related to child porno?(and wtf is with your dumb stereotype also ww2 you did basically nothing it was our u- boats that caused a blokade around germany that stopped their supplies coming in basically germany had to surrender as their people were starving) also you should thank europe don't you think? for that tiny thing we what was it again??? oh yea for DISCOVERING AND POPULATING YOU
So England has the highest obesity rate in Europe and who has the highest obesity rate in the world Hmmm America with nearly a third of there population being OBESE :L
Take the "we don't speak in some gay accent" and "we don't get bombed every 10 seconds" off. Gay people in America put on British accents to sound more gay. And, as has been mentioned before, you got the living daylights bombed out of you in WWII. We've been bombed, let's see... 1993 WTC bombing, Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11 (not a bombing, but that's probably the first thing that came to your mind), and... yep. You lost 40,000 civilians from German bombs in less than a year during WWII.
Honorable (there's no u in honorable) mentions:
You consume the 14th greatest amount of oil in the world. Yes we consume the most, but don't feel so special about being the 14th out of about 192.
I went to England and saw 5 incest children in one day. I have never seen one in America and I have been to all of the states.
What u said about Incest children made no sense at all, and here are all the states where incest is legal:
Connecticut, New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Diistrict of Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Colorado, California, Oregon, New Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii
If you live in a place that's not USA there is a 'u' in honourable.
Yeah Oklahoma.... because even your OWN people want to blow you up.
Note all the domestic terror America has, but you fucks won't go to war in your own own backyard will you?
Now London getting bombed to hell? Because they were fighting invasion and Genocide.
It's called perspective dickhead.
There really is a U in honourable in the ENGLISH language.
In America they took it out to make spelling a little easier for y'all.
Oh, and don't forget the Pearl Harbour bombing.
That was an attack on America, remember?
Oh, and don't you think that if the V1 and V2 could have travelled far enough to hit the US that you would have also been bombed?
It was only DISTANCE that protected America from a full blown Nazi assault.
And if Britain had lost the Battle Of Britain (arguably the most important day in the whole War) and had been defeated by the Nazis?
Well, YOU would be talking with a German accent.
Why? British Empire under Nazi control, along with the previous Ottoman Empire. This means the oil is controlled by Germany.
More Nazi troops ready for the Russians. Russia falls to Hitler.
Hitler already developing the A Bomb and the rockets which eventually made it to the moon.
ONE nuclear detonation in Washington?
AMERICA SURRENDER. They would have NO allies to help out in the war effort.
So yeah, learn to respect the British who DECLARED WAR on NAZISM.
Without the British (and our allies - who really were allying themselves to us to save themselves from Nazism) the world would be a different place. There would be no Jews left. And when Hitler had dealt with them? Would it be the blacks of Muslims he went after next - and with no one to stop him.....
What the fuck? You dont speak in some gay accent? You are the one using "words" like 'ent' and 'dutty'. We have never been bombed. The closest we have to that is pearl harbor, 50 years ago. And you call us dirty? Every pic I see of a European, they show people who look like they have never brushed their teeth. America has the best army. China is second. I dont even know where Britian is, but it is far down on the list.
And thats all I have to say.
HOOAH!
Never been bombed? Hmmm, I remember some aeroplanes around 10 years ago that were used as bombs on a certain set of towers.....
America has the best army? Then why do the US always turn first to the UK for an ally....
America has a "large" army - that doesn't mean best. Look, Saddam had the 2nd or 3rd largest army in the world at the time- and it didn't take long for them to capitulate.
Oh, and China 2nd? I'm sure if they declared war on the US they would "easily" beat you. It would make Vietnam look like a holiday camp. Especially at the moment when the US is the weakest it has been since the Depression.....
BTW : http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-countries-with-la...
I'm pretty certain that if China decided they wanted war, they could count on North Korea as an ally - oh, and the Chinese are very close to the Russians too. It's just a matter of time.....
Now, if you really stop and think about the fact that the majority rule language in the US is actually English, you must realize that it IS in fact you who have the accent, as the language is called English for a reason. England has existed as a county much longer than the modern USA so technically y'all have the accents, dawg.
I'm going to tell you the reason why America calls on Britain and other NATO members first before unilaterally attacking a belligerent nation. American still needs its allies like Britain so it must, and I must underline the must word, inform its allies of its intention. America needs its allies permission before doing something provocative. However, if the emergency theatens American security, interest, and its citizens - like Sep.11, it reserves the right to act unilaterally. Why? Because its armed forces are powerful enough to exact retribution without the consent of its allies. Don't get me wrong, NATO is still relevant but out of date.
Britain does the same thing. Matter of fact it exercised its right to unilateral action by crossing the Atlantic Ocean to defeat Argentina but I'm quite sure Prime Minister Thatcher begged President Reagan for permission and to " keep an eye on its back".
BTW, America provided the British with sidewinder missiles to defeat the Argentinian Jets firing those crazy ass exocet missiles that sank several British warships. The British should be grateful.
" y'all have the accents, dawg."
That's pretty good tea bag. However, who the fuck wants to talk like " deny thy father, refuse thy name". British English is way too god damn proper. Uncool!!!!
Now American English is just waaaaaay too cool.
Prince Charles on the Paparazzis: " I cahn't bare them".
Why can't he just say " I cahn't stand those mutha f**kahs.
Majority rules tea bag and its good ole USA.
While "HOOAH" is obviously a proper English word. "Ent" is a pronunciation. Not a word. It wouldn't be written that way. As for "dutty", I'm sure you just made that up.
Aluminum? WTF? It's aluminium you dicks.
Funny how you always turn to the British Army first every time for help though isn't it?
Beats me why we have to call on the British Army every time we have to bomb the hell out of a screwed up nation with a screwed up dictator. I guess its courtesy call on America as Britain might end up with a hurt feelings. Britain acts like a scorned girlfriend every time it doesn't get a call from America. What a slapper!!!!
America has the best army?
You war record is roughly 50/50 in victories and defeats.
England, and Britain has a whole, have a much better win ratio.
We have the real experience you see, as no-one has been in more wars than us.
Remember at on time we were fighting 12 wars at once. We won 11, and came to a stalemate with you guys. Remember that American DID NOT defeat the British for independence. We pulled out peacefully, and decided to leave you to it as we had an Empire to run. Then we came back and kicked your asses out of Canada. Don't forget that.
Oh, and you country was BUILT by the Brits. Remember that too.
So basically, America is built on the same great ancestors as we Brits have.
Nice to see how well people from such a small Island have done with the world.
We had the worlds largest ever Empire.
And we build the one that would eventually replace us.
We took medicine to Africa and saved millions of lives.
So, I'm pretty proud of our record in the world.
Maybe the American public really should show us more respect.
Without "us" there would be no "US".
Remember that.
Well the kid is 13 so he types in slang, so what? I used to when I was 13 I'm 15 now and type my words grammically correct, it's just a phase so don't use it as another pathetic argument against England seeing as you're obviously at least 18 if you're working as much as you are and I have better grammar, punctuation and spelling than you
You type grammically correct now huh? Bad troll or are you just retarded?
fuck off you american shit, i think its time you understood the fact that America is an isolated country, you're most likely to get attacked by Canada, who are probably one of the most peaceful countries in the world. anyway, ever heard of the SAS? and, size really doesnt matter (oh wait ur american, so it does), oh well, i guess the americans forget that each soldier has to be trained to be able to be considered in an army, rather than just being COD geeks. No offence to the american army btw, they have awesome tech :)
America has the most equipped army, the taliban have the best. It took you fukers over 1 years to end the war ahahahahahahahahahahaha
mostly true, im sottish have nothing aginst modern england so dont worry im not here to insult you, america is as bad as that but i dont appreciate you saying there "gay accent" i am gay and an a tiny bit offended, but i understand the slip of the tongue, or key in this case, being gay i had to mention it.
:Fun fact, most gay guys aren't girly and most girly guys aren't gay, strange huh?
PS: I'm not girly.
Wow you say you have nothing bad to say about America but hmm that was pretty bad.
And for all you dumbasses who thinks Americans sleep with their relatives you may need to check up on that, because that is definitely UN-TRUE!
And for all you IDIOTS who thinks all Americans are FAT, That is also UN-TRUE, because i'm pretty sure there's just as many FAT people in England then there is in America, so get your facts straight.
And IDK where the hell you get off by saying America gets Bombed every 10 sec. but that's a bunch of shit, if that was the case I would be hearing about it ALL the time and I don't hear shit on that.
And I believe America has the best accent in the WORLD, because you can actually UNDERSTAND what we say LOL... Unlike any other country.
And the U S of A has the BEST and the MOST POWERFUL military than anyone has.. I know for a fact we could hold our own and we damn sure don't need anybodies help!
SO Shut the fuck up!
In Florida recently, I asked for a bottle of water; the American vendor said what?? Looked totally vague; so I then said , ok a bottle of waaaater ( as you Americans say ) where upon he promptly handed a bottle over, no problem. Forgive me, but it really wasn't a huge leap to a different language, how could you not figure out they were one and the same?? Without wishing to insult the guy , he must have been some kind of retard and perhaps should not be in a job where he has to
Communicate with people
first of all why does it matter is you sent more troops on d day even though you didn't take the hard beach aka omaha, and before you say that you were in the pacific, THATS BULLSHIT you didn't do shit in that war(you weren't there on peleliu, iwo jima,okinawa,saipan,tarawa, etc..) LOOK IT UP DUMBASS YOU HARDLY DID ANYTHING YOU ASS , oh and bitch, yeah russia was a bigger threat but hitler made a mistake in breaking the alliance between russia and germany.
i love it how retards forget or think they did more than we did in the pacific theater that had more "d-days" that you weren't in and took more men to fight (more then any of the countries involved in the european d day) , but i will give you this the guy who wrote germany occupied london is a dumbass, but you're also one and we were attacked you retard you make it sound like d day happened before the U.S entered the war
You Disrespecful uneducated wanker, Britain did fuck all in the pacific? Well that's because we were taking all of japan Asian territories such as Burma, Belize, china, Mongolia we wernt taking tiny little islands of a few miles, the British were taking entire countries from the japenese so if the uk wasn't there the us would have had to take all those countries and seeming you neerly failed on Oklahoma and guadacanal I don't think you would have won Asia, oh and your second stupid point about the us taking the hard beaches on d-day e.g Omaha is utter rubbish, Omaha was were the majority of the german armies CONSCRIPTS were based and on top of that the British beaches had germanies panzer divisions stationed nearby so I don't no how you still fucked up on omaha so why don't you look up facts before you post them, you just watch to many AMERICAN films as they are always making ameri a look like they save the world all the time were in reality the us did the least out of the big three at the time and here is facts about what Britain did during ww2
1. Repelled the german Luftwaffe at the battle of Britain destroying over 1,700 aircraft
2. British commandos successfully destroy germanies atomic bomb project preventing them from being the first to launch nuclear weapons
3. Haulted Rommels Afrika Corp and pushed them back all the way to Tunisia
4. British forces take Burma, Belize. Mongolia, Nepal, and Chinese territories in Asia
beleive what you want to beleive but it's the facts that count not your opinion so stop bring disrespecful to all the British and commonwealth forces that died
4. British forces successfully take all of there objectives at the d-day landings
i am British and hate these american pricks, although you were mostly right but there was quite a large hiccup, they failed in Okinawa, Oklahoma is a state in America. but i do feel horrified at the way these Americans try to take all of this glory. a great man of the 8 great ww fighters in my family died on d-day, he successfully helped take Sicily and Anzio and was then shot by an MG when he was running the Germans, he apparently got onto the beach even though he was on the first drop. He should have been giving leave after being o helpful in previous battles, + my Great grandfather fought in Gallipoli.
1. I must give you that. The RAF did a splendid job in defending its skies from the Gerries.
2. This is why America is employing pre-emptied stikes like Iraq, Afghanistan, and soon, Pakistan. You can't allow your opponent to attack you with weapons of mass destruction.
3. Haulted Rommel's Afrika Corp and pushed them back all the way to Tunisia with American made tanks and munitions. I still say Rommel beats Montgomery anytime anyday but without American made weaponry.
4. British takes Burma because MacArthur is obliterating the Japanese already. Who cares about the rest.
5. Luck! Omaha and Utah beaches turned out to be a hornet's nest as opposed to Gold and Juno which are of course, a walk in the park.
You've obviously never been to America. Every foreigner ive talked to says that everything they've been told about America was false. Do I hate England? No.
Also, to the idiot who said that Americans are stupid because they call Britian "England" is rediculous. England is a country; Britian is England, Scotland, Whales, and depending on who you talk to, Northern Ireland.
ahahahah "Whales", yes, we sure are the idiotic ones!
Also - London occupied by Nazi Germany? Wtf London was bombed every night over and over again but we never gave up and never would have. The only Nazis in London were burning Luftwaffe pilots!
Lol, It's ok, there is more monster cock gobbled per capita in Eng--- I mean "Great" Britain. GG
I'm from England, and I don't know anyone that calls it Great Britain. We all say England (or Scotland or Wales or wherever someone is from).
I have been to America, mostly the people were fine, though there was one person looking at a map of China and complaining that the USA wasn't shown on the map?!?!
But you sound level enough and though you can't spell Wales you seem to have a respect for other countries.
PS. Germans invaded London? LMAO....
Germans invaded and conquered London???? hahaha. and you found that on the net? trying reading a book for a change...show me exactly where it said that..the rest of the world thinks differently including germany..jeezz arrogant and stupid ..in one so young....
Evidently its a typo. The writer probably meant Germany bombed the crap out of London.
If not for America every British citizen in this world will be singing Duetschland Uber Alles today.
England: "Thank you America"
America: "You're welcome tea bag".
" though there was one person looking at a map of China and complaining that the USA wasn't shown on the map?!?! "
Probably a Brit tourist who lost his way.
And where do you propose we move? To England? No thanks .... that place is cold and damp.
I was just refering to the fact that you yourself said that northern Ireland was stolen from Ireland and that the english should return that particular landmass.So with that particular type of thinking should any country that has been stolen (Invaded and conquered)be restored to its original occupency?. I don't really care which country is better both have their pro's and cons but I just find it ironic that somebody from a Conquered country would say to return another conquered place to it's original owner.
"And where do you propose we move? To England" and that is the main problem there due to generations of mixed hierarchy of most americans there would not be one country they could go back to same as the northern irish that have mixed english and irish hierarchy.
Please dont be so ignorant. Britain is dryer than more than half of the US and has a mild climate, its summers are cool, but its winters are warmer than more than half of America and much of Europe.
Britain == England, Scotland, and Wales.
Britain + Norther Ireland == United Kingdom.
Under duress and threatened sanctions Northern Ireland was forced to join the United Kingdom. Shame on the English - The tyrant of the world.
Your lack of knowledge on history is amazing and very American.
The reason Northern Ireland is still part of the UK is because a significant portion of the Irish wanted to remain part of the UK. The UK protects all people who wish to remain within her territories, like the Falklands -several thousand people who all Want to be part of the UK so they are protected by the UK.
Unlike America there is currently no majority part of the UK demanding "Independance", I can think of several "American" islands.
Plans to shelve out independance were started at the end of the 19th century and it was given, America does not give independance, it crushes those responsible for the agitation. Perhaps the UK would have been better to follow the American example during the Civil War. If anything we can learn that the old imperial methods had a stronger affect than the liberalist ones weve been using for the past 100 years.
" The reason Northern Ireland is still part of the UK is because a significant portion of the Irish wanted to remain part of the UK. "
And a significant portion of the Irish population refuses to be part of the UK and would very much like to reconcile with the Republic. Give Ireland back to the Irish.
You do realize that the people you are alluding to do not make up the whole country, right? We have our problems, sure, and I'm not going to sit here and say we are the shit, but we certainly aren't what a lot of the stereotypes the British think of seem to say we are. I think it is pretty ignorant to assume what you have that we are an "illiterate nation of ugly dumb fucks". Say what you want about the weight of the people here, that is a huge problem (pun intended), but get off your high horse and just think about how successful we are as a people in general in business and industry before you talk about all of us needing an education.
Also to you Americans who talk shit back, you're idiots, and you're the reason that so many countries hate us. You do make us arrogant assholes, and I would know what that entails, I'm from Texas. That's all I have to say to you.
Well said mate, I'm from england, Great britain.. as it says on my passport nationality british.. but im dating a yank and from what ive learned Britain and america are really no different what so ever! we both have thick people.. we both have argogant arsewhips who styrotype our countries BUt we both have some if not mostly amazing people granted some get on my nervs.. but who dosnt
Last time I checked we don't tell people to hate your fucked up country, and it's not our fault people hate your gay country, if you were smart enough maybe you dumb people would be the bigger people and not talk at all and just say fuck it to the people who talk shit about your country!
It is an observation of mine that the loudest people are almost always the least informed, sadly the loudest of all our nations are the ones who are being heard. I think it would be beneficial to every one (before commenting) to do some research for them selves on reputable internet sites on WWII and learn some hard facts for them selves, not recall second hand information that someone had told them while talking at a bar.
I agree. Heresay doesn't stand under a court of law. Must stick to facts and the fact is England would be a colony of Germany today if not for America intervening on behalf of England.
Wow there buddy. How did your country LEAVE us?!!? We kicked your redcoat asses in the revolutionary war, the war of 1812 AND in our civil war where YOUR racist asses (at the time) supported slavery and supplied the South. Then during WWI and WWII, guess what happened after we jumped in? We ended that shit on TWO fronts. We annihilated Japan pretty much singlehandedly after they acted like pussies and coundn't face us on equal terms (hence the kamakazi). We cleaned up the remnants of what was once a great continent and help pieced the bitch back together (and we helped Japan, too). Anyone wanna talk shit about us invading Iraq? Hows about when you yuck-mouthed, limey fucks tried to "civilize" India and countless tribal African nations. That went REEEAAAAL well. Granted, shit didn't fare too well for us in Vietnam and a few other 3rd world, non-Geneva convention following land of monkeys, but they weren't even wars. We were asked for help pretty much every time after WWII and NONE of those were wars (since we never declared). The US has to follow rules set by the UN otherwise Russia, French pantywaists, and your rainy island would cry about collateral damage, not that we gave a shit when those same assholes invaded the middle east and Africa themselves to spread their ideal government. Maybe the US thought they could do it better, who knows, I wasn't alive. We all fucked up, so shut the fuck up about it already.
Yes, many Americans are fat and rather stupid and I, as an American, am disgusted to be balled up with such people. Think about history once though. Almost every ruler in history was fat because they lived in luxury. Many Americans are fat tubs of lard due to similar reasons: luxury. Many Americans are stupid because we were brought up being told we're the best, so they figure they don't need to know anything about countries that don't impact their lives directly unless it's the dreaded lead paint based toys from China (ignorance is bliss, I suppose). Yea, there's plenty of sick, trailer trash fuckers in the US that are incestuous, but its the same world-wide and much, MUCH worse in many countries. Hell, having kids with your first cousin is okay in Japan.
But to compare any country accurately is impossible, especially America since there's so many damn immigrants (damn border jumpers) and we accept any retard from any country. With the US having six times more people than Britain, of course there will be more retards. Obviously drugs and the "if I don't overdose of get addicted of the first time I'll be fine" attitude towards them is helping make the next generation even stupider.
Every country has it's faults. Everyone knows PLENTY of idiots in their everyday life, but when you argue on the internet about whose country is smarter, everyone forgets about the people they know. I'm sure as hell not going to defend those bumbling retards. This day and age, America is fun to make fun of since so many are oblivious as to whats actually going on in the world and they really, REALLY don't care. Everyone sees those dumb shows where someone asks random people about geography, famous diplomats, and other trivia and they edit out anyone who got the answer right and fill it in with the dumb people who think something like Portugal is Czech Republic and Bush being president was the best thing since sliced bread. Shows like Jerry Springer, COPS, and shows of that sort haven't exactly improved America's image. So not EVERYONE in America is stupid and/or fat. We're mostly just greedy and selfish. Just like not everyone in England has bad teeth and an unintelligible accent like they have rocks in their mouth. And what the fuck is this about not being our own country until 1976?? That's when we celebrated our bicentennial, in which the Queen came by and celebrated with us to strengthen our ties as allies. That's like saying WWII didn't end until those Japanese on those islands finally surrendered decades after the war was over (I can't remember the details). While we never really looted Britain at anytime, aside from their ships (avast, ye mateys!), we plundered the fuck outta a bunch of other European countries after chasing off the Germans and shit.
I don't understand why people really give a fuck so much. Always some dumbass saying "Duuhuhuhuh, ma cuntreh is bedda den yers!" Countries like the US and UK and their allies more or less own this world with power and money. We are on top of the world (let's not try to think of the economy ATM). What we need to worry about is getting passed up by BRIC (google it).
I'm tired ranting. I don't know how I ended up here in the first place. I guess my point is every country has corrupt politicians and a bloody, mistake-ridden past. Nothing will ever be perfect, be it a mission, person, tool, or government. Everything will always be trial and error. It's the only way to advance. Now kindly shut the fuck up already! ;)
racist asses indeed it was the christian right wing church going bible bashers who formed and funded the KKK. and you call us racists.Dont forget the L.A. riots or the thousands who marched on Washington.or the lynchings or the segregation or the genocide of the native indians and you have the neck to call us racists.
It was the Brits who introduced slavery to the world. What the KKK, skin heads, and most bigoted Americans preach are a reflection of what the Bigoted English introduced to Western societies back then - that people of colored skin are simply a commodity to be used and disposed of. Yet again I must implore that it was the Brits who started something absolutely heinous and now, blaming the Americans. The Brits are undoubtedly the biggest hypocrites in the world.
I just want to point out that bombing two civilian islands with nuclear weapons is not fighting on even terms.
In fact, you could even call it... terrorism. You could have just starved them out.
Oh yes, it's better to starve children to death much more humane. Who did you think would be the first to start dying of starvation? Of course, the poorest and weakest...children, women, CIVILIANS. You didn't really think they would starve their military, industry, government first did you? How exciting it would of been to watch 70 million civilians stave until all that was left was an indomitable government and military.
You don't know what you're talking about tea bag. Just go to your dentist and have your dentures fix.
As soon as facts are presented you just go with the childish insults.
Why don't you go and do the human race a huge favour go jump.
hmm, who keeps using the term "tea bag" like it's an insult?????
Who keeps distorting the truth and facts to your own ends, you refer to things the USA did years ago, but the brits can't.
Why don't you go and swim with some friendly sharks, make sure you have an open wound without a cage. I'm sure they could sort you out.
You Proud Wank, sorry Yank, are and arsehole.
Hey I'm just trying to be nice and respectful. I could call you names that is totally vile and offensive that you might start crying like a little girl. I'm capable of doing that you know as America is very good in inventing curse words in English. But I'm not going to stoop low to your level. I'll stick to refering to you and your mates as tea bags. You call an American a Yank, we call you Tea Bag or Limey.
Distorting the truth? Mate you have a computer right? Then Google WW2 books and see if I'm making my facts up. Then again Its how a Brit and American perceives history. In our history class, the English was the BIG BAD BRIT who was led by a tyrant king shaking down every American under the guise of taxes. Americans took up arms, rebelled and defeated England. I'm quite sure that in your history class that the Americans were the bad guys, traitors for rebelling against mother England. Lets just say we agree to disagree.
See .... I'm making more sense than you do tea bag.
Sharks!!! Now why do you have to be mean? By saying these things you're already conceding defeat because you can't back up your facts. Now you are relegated to calling me names, cursing me, and wishing me harm because you have nothing to say. We're in a debate and you have absolutely nothing to say.
or better still how about going for a swim in the everglades proud yank?
I will if you agree to be my boat. If I'm attack by croc or gator you must fend them off with your hands.
Speaking of which:
President Bill Clinton is on a helicopter flying over the Everglades when he looked down and sees two Americans on a speed boat pulling a British tourist on water skis.
The Presidents says to the Redneck pilot " ahh just love to see Americans and British recreatin' ".
The pilot then turned to the President and replies back " Mr. President ...... Y'all don't know much about alligator huntin' do ya?"
If the Japanese had the bomb first, they would've nuke America. We just beat them and Germany to the punch .... and thank god for that because after America, Manchester is next. Can you guys imagine if Manchester is wiped out off the map? There won't be no Manchester United or David Beckham. That's not a good thing for the English.
You never kicked England's arse, Scotland done that for you, most historians will tell you that themselves, like most hostirians will tell you, IT WAS NOT an American rebellion for the last God damn time, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish rebellion.
Learn your history and learn that the Scots were enslaved off their land, it was the Scots that defeated the English on your own patch of land, not Americans, NOT FRENCH!! And before you bang off about the French Revolution, who the fuck did the French look up to for inspiration? Oh that's right, Scotland The Brave
To the Scottish guy who is trying to teach Americans ( or descendants of just about every European race from everywhere else except America) that in fact their revolution was inspired and instigated by Scots from Scotland and in addition the French revolution was also inspired by Scotland also Scotland is everything and England is nothing , I would say you should take a history lesson.
Why?
Well while I agree their have been an extraordinary amount of British inventions conceived and promoted by scots from the two Watts James and Watson Watt ( Radar) Logie baird ( TV) though to Barnes Wallace ( bounding bomb, Swing wing jet, Harrier) over the last three centuries we have also had Isaac Newton, Alan Turing, Tommy Flowers ( computer) etc. and many more examples from both camps, BUT your assertion that the war of independence was a Scottish is just plain nonsense most of the founding father were English by Birth and 60% by blood even if they had Scottish names
Scotland tried as an independent nation to sponsor an American Colony which failed miserably because of lack of continuous finance by Scottish investors.
England has bailed out Scotland on many occasions over the years and I think you will find that most of the inventors of Scottish lived and worked in England for most of the lives ( one of them even remarked that the best sight in Scotland is the road to England) .
As for kicking England’s arse you seemed to have forgotten Culloden ( most people have ) but in fact this was the genocide perpetrated by the English on the Highland Scots because quite frankly they had had enough of being invaded over nothing to install a catholic Stuart monarch that wished to take us back to the dark ages. Twice in a generation.
And all this when we (at the time were supposed to be one nation)
As for America, how you work out that it was a Scottish rebellion I have no idea , as most of the so called patriots were all of English descent ( as it was thirteen ENGLISH colonies)
Don’t get me wrong I have a lot of time and respect for the Scots ( with the possible exception of Alex Salmon) most of Britain’s politicos are Scots , but let’s have some rational and truthful history here , if the Arrogant Yanks are ever to be convinced to read accurate history they won’t be by blowing off another round of in propaganda by some other nation either England or Scotland, the way to do that is to always insure that you are 100% spot on with your facts not only about their huge lies and misintreptations but our own as well.
He was right actually. The Declaration of Independence was based upon and inspired by the Declaration of Arbroath.
Scotland was really poor and it's soldiers were unequiped and untrained, but they did well enough against the English who were the worlds dominant force at that point.
Also remember that Scotland was attacked by the Romans, who conquered Europe and a bit of Africa. What did they do? They built a WALL to keep the Scots from attacking them in England.
Scotland also had a large part during WWII, with a lot of Scots present at D-Day (and one brave soul playing the bagpipes to boost morale on Normandy)
It was a Scotsman who established the SAS, the most elite military unit of all time.
Not to mention the amount of inventers, poets and writers that were Scots. Hell, most of your American presidents (Abe Lincoln, George Washington) were decended from Scotsmen.
Say no more,Dumbnuts.A typical stereotype yank,who is living on another planet,or alternatively,got his head up his big,fat lard arse.That's precisely why you big mouth turds are hated all around the world,and then you have the audacity to ask others,namely the UK,to help you fight your wars.The truth is,you think you can buy anything with MONEY,but you are now finding out that you can't.You tried to fool the world that you sent a man to the moon,but that has been absolutely exposed as a scam.No,yankee doodle,the Japs kicked your arse and without the good old Brits you would never have had the Atom bomb to bomb them.
wow you are the most uneducated person i have ever met, the japanese followed bushido (death before dishonor) thats means they would rather die/commit suicide than surrender to a marine or a brit, if we were not in that war and brits did everything they would soon find that an atomic bomb would be option you couldn't refuse. OH and if the japanese kicked our "arse" how come we have more victories then defeats in that war. and they call us streotypes when they're then ones calling every american dumb, fat, and a streotype. hmmm lets use our brains it would seem like they're the sterotypes
You sound like a fat little kid whose parents beat him (typical of the british) who hasn't had a history lesson in his entire life. HERE IS YOUR HISTORY LESSON *slap* *slap* *slap* BITCH!!!
You have hardly fought in a war at ALL since your MASSIVE defeat in the war of 1812. At that point your "colonial empire" (as if) was collapsing and bowing down the industrious center of economic power, the United States of Awesome Possibilities. We DID go to the moon, but you are some stupid socialistic RETARD (typical of the british) and believe in conspiracy theories and pixie dust, you bible humping MORON. SIT DOWN SON. AMERICA's PENIS IS WAAAY BIGGER THAN YOUR'S OR OF ENGLAND OR THE ISLAND OF GREAT BRITAIN OR THE ENTIRE UK. WE WILL HAVE ALL 300 MILLION FAT ASSES SIT ON YOUR 50 MILLION LITTLE WHINY PUSSIES. LOOK OUT BITCH!!!
Unfortunately you have as many Americans have been educated in the "American way".
It’s a well-known fact in England and indeed Europe that your historians revise and distort the truth in order to hide the reality that your country was founded by effectively English Colonial traitors who had been pushing for revolution for over 60 years before 1776 these people and their offspring who were born in America( the 13 English colonies) were initially only a small minority . The majority of the English colonists or Americans as they liked to call themselves after the declaration of independence were in fact Tories (later to be called loyalists).
The taxes that were imposed by the English Parliament (which was a democratic government since 1689) and not the King ( as American history teaches) were imposed in order that the 13 colonies ( later to be USA) should make some contribution towards the cost of the British regular Army having saved your "future country" from the French who were invading from Canada ( then New France) in the French and Indian war.
Hardly any home grown loyalists took part in that war in which British soldiers comprising English Scottish and Irish troops all from Britain ( one of two superpowers in the 18th Century other being France) gave their lives to save your butts.
These few radicals ( sorry founding fathers) using clever propaganda leaflets mentioning "slavery" and other works including Tom Paine’s ( a failed British customs inspector sacked from his post for corruption) book so called common sense , (when it was anything but and read at the time like a radical Muslim speech of today) gradually converted and radicalised the more ignorant and impressionable population into believing that it was all the work of a tyrannical king , which of course was nonsense the King of England had had very little power since Oliver Cromwell executed Charles 1st for treason against the English people and had no power at all since 1689 and parliament was the supreme authority in Britain.
It was a success for the radicals (founding fathers) because they used the Tax issues as an excuse to start a war knowing that once British soldiers were seen to have harmed English Colonists it would breed enough hatred to gain the mass support they needed, IE Boston massacre was engineered by the so called "sons of liberty" they even gave the order to fire from behind the British troops who did so because they thought it was an order from their captain, who never gave such an order.
John Adams a founding father , was not a radical t the time and defended the redcoats and was against secession from Britain, he only became one after the British parliament got fed up with having to keep repealing tax laws to these "ungrateful and spoilt colonists" as they put it
The revolutionary war was won by the French , George Washington never won a Battle except after the British General Howe had chased him all over new york state until winter set it and he closed the campaign for the winter , Washington took the suggestion of a junior officer to attack the small group of hessians Howe had left on guard at a way station across the Delaware river which he did and the whole episode was blown up into a full blown battle when in fact it was a minor skirmish , this was done to impress the French into entering the war on congresses side of course.
In conclusion:
A few English traitors hatch a plot to side with an enemy( with an absolute monarch) that they were formally saved from by the British Government * a democratic government)) and kill their own countrymen for their own economic and political reasons.
Needless to say if the British Government had refused to send the British Army to crush French Canada and kick the French out of North America, There would be no united states and you would all be speaking French.
As for the two 20th century wars
You arrived in the same year that the Canadians had just defeated the Germans and took part in 3 actions only and bragged about having won the whole thing.
in the 2nd you provided us with money and few old battle ships ( which we used as mine sweepers) got caught with your pants down at pearl harbour ( even though we told you from our code busters that it was about to happen)
Got defeated at the your first action against the Germans in Cassilene pass North Africa by German general Rommel while he was on the run from British General Montgomery having been defeated by Montgomery at el Allamain.
made up only a third of the troops on d day and had to be ferried ashore by British Landing craft Seaman from the Royal Navy and got yourselves tied down at Omaha Beach ( saving private Ryan) LOL there were 4 other beaches only one was American the other British and Canadians beaches got off in the first wave.
It was not only the US marines that saved Omaha it was rocket firing Hawker Typhoons from the British Royal Air force.
Nothing has changed with you Americans ( mostly these days descended from peasants and losers all over Europe with the Clever English and German and scots descended ones ruling over all the rest)
You have a great ability to convert a total failure and giant cock up into a Great Triumph and National Flag waving day using lies and historical revisionism and teaching it as the truth, like a bore that no one likes who always turns up late at every party when all the work is done and the next day boasts that he did it all.
You have done some good things like inventing the microchip and the heavy than air plane ( although that’s disputed as well) and landing on the moon the rest of us in England hoped you might move the whole boring boasting arrogant Nation to that satellite , BUT it was not to be.
So when you people are slagging off England with your "we kicked yours butts etc. and saved your arses. JUST remember without England your Country would never have been born, without England (and the death of many English soldiers) you would have been invaded by the French and without England the United States would have remained a small minded radical dream trumped up by a few insurgents bent on bloodshed and political power.
Personally I have no problems with Americans, all the ones I have met have been perfectly pleasant. From the comments on here I see there is some bitterness towards us English. Shame really - you really put the people of your country in a bad light I just hope you are in a minority of hate filled excluders.
I totally agree Americans tend to change history to cover themselves in glory but there is no escaping the facts guys and England has a much richer and proud history.
No amount of insults or long long paragraphs of boasting will ever replace that - sorry!
Its childish to speak about World Wars in a trivial way - who was best and who won it and all that rubbish. Many Allies including the British lost their lives bravely fighting for their country for years before you joined in and later when the Americans came in and helped they also lost a lot of brave men. I guess this is the problem with the internet - too many clueless keyboard warriors.
the russians helped us kick germany's but the americans only stuck up for its self when japan attaked
U racist pig!!!!! M pretty sure India is civilised mate, and allways was, not to mention it's 5000 year old culture and all it's riches which basically meant everything was made of gold.
While my ancestors were playing croquet in a garden, yours wre sitting in a cave trying to light a fire!!!!
Just to say, EUROPE DISCOVERED AND POPULATED YOU!!!!
Well, uh, fail. Ever heard of Native Americans? They were here before you, and they populated the entire North American continent. They also didn't live in caves, they lived in wooden, rawhide, or pueblo homes that they built themselves. But really, what does it matter? You'll just kill them all with diseases and take their land. Oh, and your sentence "While my ancestors were playing croquet in a garden, yours wre sitting in a cave trying to light a fire!!!!" is rather contradictory, since your ancestors are technically our ancestors.
With all due respect when it comes the the so-called "Native-Americans" - they really are NOT native to America as indiginous peoples. They actually arrived in the Americas before Columbus, but were not originally from there.
There is actually evidence that shows that the first peoples in America were actually EUROPEAN.
No, I don't mean the Vikings. LONG before that.
I don't think you are giving the French and Spanish nearly enough credit. If it had been the Rebels alone against the British it would have been a very one sided blood bath and the dollar would have a British monarch on it.
I don't think you are giving the Americans and the French nearly enough credit. If it had been the British alone against the Germans it would have been a very one sided blood bath and the pound would have Hitler's face on it.
Wtf?american is the pussy they didnt even have the ball to fight to the death and commit suicide if their genral die like the jap they also didnt have the balls to fight the japanese on every iand which is almost all pacific island instead fuking yank hop a few island to get to japan like pussy and even then they would not attak japan mainland instaed they drop bomb...becuz they too afraid of warcrazed japs..
" is almost all pacific island instead fuking yank hop a few island to get to japan "
Its called strategy dumbass. Hit them where they ain't.
kind of ironic considering the royal family is one huge pile of incest ;)
Of course it is. America has laws in several states that allow for first cousins to marry and you have a go at English for being "a huge pile of incest", get a grip you frigging retard.
Americans at the time of the revolution had a higher literacy rate than most of the world... As well as some of the brightest minds in history... And higher general education than most of the world... And the first fire department, library and other such things.... So where are you going with this again?
And you're right we didn't just "beat the shit out of and jacked all her belongings" we did it twice. Then saved her life twice. So you can say thanks. ;)
You seem to be completely misinformed buddy, NO Americans have never in all their history had a higher rate literacy than the rest of the world least of all Britain, the British were responsible for most of the major inventions in both the 19th and 20th century’s.
The US on the other hand most literate and talented people existed only in the east and among the middle classes but produced very little in the 19th century in the way of inventions , even Dunlop the gut who invented the tyre was a Scotsman and railways were invented by Stevenson ( an Englishman) also the industrial revolution 1st happened in Britain ( Nowhere else until France) but was very late in America relatively speaking.
The first fire "brigade" was created in London in 1840 as were the 1st Police known as peelers or "coppers" a term the you also use in America inherited from the British.
As for libraries well the Ancient Greeks invented them
I’m afraid your blowing out your arse mate or just making it all up
Actually most of the great engineers, scientists, and classical musicians that made up the US up until the Second World War (and to a lesser degree even now) were overwhelmingly 1st generation immigrants (an euphemism for FOREIGNERS) or 2nd generation (an euphemism for sons of foreigners).
Interestingly enough, the people that most changed the US as a nation by far in the 20th century were Germans, and a large proportion of those were Jewish.
Cultural life in the US, up until the 50's, was dominated by the very segregated communities of German and Eastern European artists, and British entrepreneurs still trying to preserve a semblance of social class divide. These communities resisted integration for a long time, refusing to speak the language between themselves and to adapt to American customs. Total assimilation of Germans and other Europeans didn't happen until the mid-20th century, something that is shockingly forgotten by everyone, not only in anglophone countries.
Technically the overwhelming majority of the scientists that allowed the US to defeat Nazi Germany were German themselves.
And I'm French, so I'm equally bigoted towards all of you : )
are you talking about the manhattan project scientists?
if not which ones?
Britain & its commonwealth/empire also had a small role in beating the Nazi's you may have heard?
I wasn't particularly talking about the Manhattan project scientists, but a quick scan through the wiki and you can see that whilst the project leaders are mostly born american, a _very_ large majority of the scientists is actually 1st generation central-european.
Hans Bethe, Klaus Fuchs, Edward Teller (Hungarian), Emil Konopinski (Polish)
Felix Bloch (Swiss) and Niels Bohr (Danish) are the most prominent. And of course, with some help from von Braun. And Einstein.
I was actually rather thinking of artists when I wrote the thing. Between 1 and 2/3 of the greatest dancers, musicians and conductors were central-europeans in both LA and NY for most of the late 19th century and early 20th, and many composers, writers and even architects of the time went to live in the US when they felt restrained or just bored of the European scene. Later obviously the Nazis arrived to power and lots more people fled the country.
I can think of Schoenberg, Mahler, Thomas Mann, Sigmund Freud, Walter Gropius, Franz Werfel... If I could be arsed I'm sure I could dig up more names. I mean these people absolutely towered over everyone else when they arrived in the US.
One could argue that one of the reasons there were less British people is because there was less antisemitism, and overall less tension, both economic and social, from the beginning of the 20th century, in the UK than in Germany, so less people had to flee. And also because German sounded worse than American at the time, unlike British, so life as an expat would be more unnerving to a Brit : )
As for beating the Nazis, I didn't say Britain didn't have a role. It had a massive role. The UK has never been invaded in 1000 years whilst being 2 hours away from continental Europe, a much bigger feat than the US's 250 years isolated by the Atlantic.
However, the 2nd world war wasn't "won" by either the US or the UK. This is not saying you didn't help.
Most of the war actually happened from the other side of Germany and there isn't enough emphasis on that on either French, British, or American textbooks. The UK and the US suffered 400 000 deaths each. The Soviet Union suffered 20 Million.
That's, you have to grasp the number, 50 times more.
And yet they made it to Berlin first.
On an unrelated note, Cambridge is the best university in the world. No contest.
Yeah but guess who invented all the hardware and software which you and the world are now using?
I suppose you invented the Internet as well, not CERN with English Tim
Berners-Lee credited as the inventor.
Also the chief designer at Apple, oh yeah Jonathon Ives, born in Chingford, London UK.
He is the senior vice president of industrial design at Apple. He designed the original iPod.
You are one hell of a douche bag
Hey wanker, the point is if its not for Americans inventing computer hardware and software the world will be missing on these amazing machinery. If not for Bill Gates or the late great Steven Jobs, Jonathan Ives would be selling fish and chips at a corner of Birmingham. Face it douche the English, with all its great inventions back in the 19 forgotten, has become irrelevant today. Just eat your fish and chips and Yorkshire pudding, prove to your European hood that your people are the fattest in Europe, then raise the Union Jack and be proud of it. Loser!!!!
OI Twat Face

Need I go on? If it were not due to the British and the pioneering days of the Industrial revelution, you wouldn't have Microsoft or Apple.
You say the Brits are fat, have you seen Americans?
Now why don't you do us all a favour and shut the fuck up. The original poster of the blog has even gone underground, is he so embarrassed about what his past thoughts were. You are what we call a dick head.
You may say it is all freedom of speach, but as soon as someone disagrees with you, like religious organisations, you will shout until the other party gives in and just agrees for the sake of it.
Hey tea bag don't forget Thomas Crapper, the great English inventor of what England is now - toilet. Pardon me I meant the loo.
again
As soon as facts are presented you just go with the childish insults.
Why don't you go and do the human race a huge favour go jump.
Well you gotta " cut America some slack ". I mean Britain was way ahead of America as a country therefore it has the advantage of inventing all these Victorian era gizmos as America was only a teenager then, trying to learn how to govern itself. Then the civil war happened and that conflict stunted the growth in America. Can you imagine if its the other way around and the Brits fought and gained its independence from America, who's already several hundred years as a self-governing country. Britain wouldn't have all those great inventors as its first priority as an independent entity is how to start up a country. This means setting an executive, legislative, and judicial systems: collecting taxes: homeland security, and so on and so forth. So those list of British inventors doesn't mean anything regarding why Britain is more intellectually ahead of America. It could be the other way around.
It's a commonly known fact that over 50% of the worlds inventions since WW2 have been British.
Most of America's great inventions were either invented by Brit's living in the US, or were just developed further in the US.
Oh, and by the way, it seems that JAPAN are years ahead of your technology these days.
Where do you think you are getting all your tvs from......?
American industry is so great ALL the jobs are going to CHINA.
It'll soon be called the YELLOW HOUSE, loser.
When did America ever invent the library? Ever heard of the great British library, or h Oxford grand archives?
And you didnt save our lives twice, u decided to come in less than a year before the end (WW1), and ot wasn't u that changed the tide of the war, it was the spring offensive!
America think they invented the library? :') The fucking Romans did that and when they invaded Britain they built them there! Naive American idiots
Yawn.
During the American Uprising the British were fighting ELEVEN wars. VERY EXPENSIVE.
America has almost been bankrupted by bankrolling just TWO wars recently, with the aid of many other countries.
So, the Crown made the decision to pull out of the Americas to concentrate on keeping the Empire in place.
Oh, and after the defeat of Napolean we came back and stopped the so-called tough Americans from taking Canada. Do they actually teach history in America?
WW2 - yet again the yanks take credit for single handily winning the war.....
The British had the balls to declare war on Nazi Germany. America just sat idly by hoping that they wouldn't be noticed.
The only reason you joined the war effort was not because it was right, and it was the American way to defeat evil, but because you were attacked by the Japanese.
If Pearl Harbour never happened? Well, no Americans in the war.
Look, if Britain had been defeated by the Nazi's YOU IN AMERICA WOULD BE TALKING WITH A GERMAN ACCENT.
Why? Well, the entire British Empire would come under Nazi rule. Thus British scientists, who along with German scientists, would have been helping the Nazis to the A Bomb. Something that the Nazis could have had LONG before America if it wasn't for a bunch of brave Norwegians who hijacked their effort. The same guy who designed the Space Rockets for the Americans would have done it for the Germans instead, thus a NUCLEAR MISSILE that could hit America easily. It's common knowledge that the Nazis were working on a rocket to target America during the war. ONE A Bomb on Washington and the complete surrender of America.
You should be THANKFUL that the British took on the might of Nazi Germany. You brave Yanks didn't have the balls for it until you had to. So yeah, say thanks to the Brits.
The same Brits who BUILT your country from the 13 colonies.
The same Brits who devised a much cheaper, and quicker, means of making the steel that lead to the true birth of America.
Oh. and don't forget that the Brits also burned your white house to the ground.....
You yank idiots have lost every war that you've started in the last 100 years. LOSERS!
The British Empire fell due to massive casualties during WW1 and WW2. Oh, and the massive debt that was accrued that would actually PAY for the US to become a super power. Without WW2, well, you would probably still be in the Great Depression....now wait, you're entering a 2nd one now. HA HA HA!
Any Empire that reaches too far eventually crumbles. It happened to the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and every other one. It was inevitable it would happen to Britain.
Remember, Brittania ruled the waves. You just rule MTV.
Oh, and the British Empire is still around today under another name and format.
THE COMMONWEALTH.
The British had the greatest Empire the world has ever known.
America has never had one. And never will.
America is LAUGHED AT by countries like Iran these days as YOU ARE NO LONGER A SUPERPOWER. You are in MASSIVE DEBT and RECESSION.
Get over it - the British had to.
Don't you worry my man .... America, as always, will rebound from this debt and will lead again. I hope the Brits will follow because quite frankly, one hand washes the other. Its been like that since WW2 so why stop now. America and England are like a married couple. After the honeymoon its all argument. England should behave like a good bride and allow her groom freedom to do his business - without petty jelousy's. Support your husband England.
Hang on.....Didn't the great depression start after the wall street crash in 1929, therefore started by the Americans, as was today's financial crisis. Don't get me wrong I love America, but please don't go on about financial crisis' as we the Europeans tend to get hit hard by them, I'm not saying they're entirely down to America because they will happen but seriously when we finally sort them out please don't say if it wasn't for you we would still be in them because; 1) We the Europeans sort them out.
2) Surely we just want international peace
Umm..
We joined WW2 in 41, only like 2 years after it started, and stayed in for 4 years, So we were in for the majority of the war.
Why do countries always talk shit about each other, seriously, it's all one planet, share it peacefully, I only hate the countries that intentionally harm others.
You are not the most powerful country in the world and no one likes your nation. You are fat, stupid bastards who have. You did not beat the shit out of Britain we fucking owned you for years. So fuck off back to West Virginia.
so what your saying is you got the shit beaten out of you a tiny colony of fat stupid bastards way back when you were the strongest
thats like a 5yr old, mentally retarded, obese kid beating the shit out of a super fit guy
go back to your child pornography, you bloody brit
Fuck off, you stupid American retard. For one thing, Brits on average are more intelligent than you fat pricks. You have the LOWEST IQ score on average than any other developed country. Not to mention you're all a bunch of fat shits who can't walk more than a mile without having a cardiac arrest. Finally, your retard country is force-fed religious bullshit about some God that doesn't even exist. This is probably connected with your low IQ - you can't see the facts in front of your eyes and a hell of a lot of you are just basically religious pricks. Fuck off back to McDonald's and shovel some more fried shit down your throat.
Excuse me, but some of the best colleges in the WORLD were founded in America. Plus, I haven't noticed that Britain was all that powerful either. The United States of America is the world's most powerful nation. We are not fat and uneducated!
you are so wrong mate cause there are even more better universities here in britain than in america.
fuck ur mothr's cunt even if universities in uk were half as good as america britan would be a different place.
Then why was Cambridge University in England voted the best Uinversity in the world this year??? Look it up
nope china is as wll as russia and the greatest nation goes to britain
The good colleges in the States were founded during British rule and are only successfull because of the large amounts of money and foreign students.
England is not a country, it is Great Britain. Why of why does this ignorant nation find this so hard to comprehend.
America is such an insular country, full of arrogance that their country is the best. A prime example would be the 90% of people who do not own a passport. The people of this nation are clueless on the world outside, the big big world outside of "centre of the earth". Their knowledge of other countries and cultures is embarrassingly poor. We Brits are not the best at making an effort to speak other languages, but HOLY COW the Americans make us look like multi-linguists.
The treatment in the media of the BP fiasco is just amazing, and a great example of how a stupid nation can be so easily brainwashed (as it is with religion). Of the 126 people working on the Deepwater Horizon, only eight were BP employees. BP had a 65% share in the well, while a partner, Anadarko, had 25%. The rig was owned and operated by a US firm, Transocean. A failed blow-out preventer was made by another US firm, Cameron, while Halliburton, the oil services firm once run by Dick Cheney, carried out cement work that was supposed to seal the well. Even if BP was to blame, it is no longer a British company and is no longer called British Petroleum. 40% of it's shares are British owned while 39% are American owned, gee i guess that 1 percent difference makes us culpable!
I was actually born in America, and hold an US passport, but I would be far too ashamed to ever class myself as American.
My favorite (or should I say "favourite"?):
"England is not a country, it is Great Britain. Why of why does this ignorant nation find this so hard to comprehend.
America is such an insular country, full of arrogance that their country is the best."
Such a bunch of ignorant people from that "country" of America, huh...?
england is a realm in great britain, which is the main island. and the U.K. is great britain plus northern ireland retard
We've inherited the arrogant attitude from you. Remember, everything that you see in us, how repugnant our demeanor, is testament to how successful you are in introducing your culture to America. We owe it to our fine cousin - the English. America rule the waves brother.
Thats as retarded as saying the EU is a country. Its a nation comprised of 4 countrys Scotland England Ireland and Wales.
Just to show how real research kicks ass. In the age old english saying....Nuff said!
Yeah you damn Brits! Learn to speak other languages. Comprende?
Meh, America has a high population, so it's bound to produce many intelligent people. Not the case, though. Yeah, some intelligent people come from America (Prob not born there), but still, the UK produces three times more geniuses than the US does. Oh aye, Americans are generally fat OR uneducated. That was just a joke, don't take a fit. But yeah, it's true.. You wouldn't understand, you're American.
People, you are all taking in general terms, not every American is fat, not every British person is an upper class snob. America has Harvard and Yale, Britan has Oxford and Cambridge. I hate to see it when people let down their countries by sterotyping and badmouthing other people. Americans and British people have done this and the proof will be imprinted on the internet forever. The person who wrote this is misinformed and biased, but not entirely wrong. I and many other people accept we lost the war and have moved on, but as this blog show this author and many of the people commenting are stuck in the past and can't let go and move for a happier and better relationship for two equal countries.
We lost the war yh but not to americans who the hell are americans coz the only true americans are red indians n there is not many of them around america populated from europe so there basically all imbreads thats why they all have fucked up names the ones with normal name obviously originated from britian which is a known fact
Nicely put. The US & UK are very close countries (not geographically, but socially and politically). No huge surprise really as the UK were a very large part of what became the US. The vast majority of US rebels that fought for a free country away from British rule were either Brits or were descendents of Brits. It is in many ways similar to the poor/working class of Brits rebelling against upper class rule over them, as has been the case throughout history. Many people in Britain supported the American side of the wars for independence.
I must admit that Americans can be very insular and have something of a superiority complex, but so too do many British, which is why you get so many USA vs UK arguments. I think we all should take a look at some European and Eastern countries and reconsider just who does come across as looking the smartest in the long run after these arguments. Peace all :)
The person who wrote this was joking, and biased for the sake of starting an argument in the comments.
I think some of the comments from yanks on here are just wind ups , this one by onOhoh is typical, How you can be so under educated is beyond me , he states colleges, the best that is, were founded in the US at least i think he means the USA after all for 300 years before it was just a British colony called British America and both Harvard and Yale were founded during the colonial days, but were never considered to be tops in the education game such as Oxford, Cambridge or even Rugby ( where the game and indeed Americas silly version of football was invented))
As I haven’t noticed Britain being that powerful , that’s a laugh coming from a guy who lives in a nation founded by Englishman from Britain who also at the time owned Canada , later Australia and New Zealand both of which were discovered by Brits , India, most of the far east and indeed one quarter of the entire globe , who’s navy even after the war of independence guaranteed that the "United States was not snuffed out at birth, the country that invented everything in the modern world from Railways though radar, cavity magnetron ( microwaves to you) jet engine first jet airliner, steam engine, first computer both mechanical and electrical the television , the pocket calculator and the chips that are in his bloody mobile phone .Sir Clive Sinclair, the solved longitude problem Harrisons clocks, the industrial revolution wow I can’t list them all, on yes the Aircraft carrier and Rutherford an Aussie split the Atom without which there would have been no nuclear weapons and don’t forget the US has never made a supersonic jet, provided him with his language ( English or at least a form of it), invented every sport in the world ( check it out moron you have Google over there don’t you.
Who’s navy ruled the waves for 200 years after Nelson defeated all comers at Trafalgar and who’s Empire only disappeared 6o years ago and we still have a commonwealth.
Americans apart from Edison record player the first 1000 hour light bulb ( he didn’t invent it) the microchip and ben Franklin’s lighting rod that’s about it.
Only colonies you ever had were Philippines which you invaded against the wishes of the people (Hypocrites)
Honesty you are a terrible overblown overrated country with no history that likes to pretend it has invented everything to make you feel more secure , you have never ruled the waves except now and that’s only because Russia decided to collapse you have contributed very little to human society even russkies beat you into space and all the wars you have ever fought alone you have been defeated like Nam usually by tiny counties that you can’t see on the map, and yet you go round like a fat bully swaggering boasting about yourselves and your history when your bloody country is only 230 years and has achieved very little.
Compared to Britain with its 1000 years history its empire its inventions its contribution to all aspects and in all fields to human progress you are a tiny minded bunch of European immigrants who fled to America because you couldn’t make it in your own counties
Stick to Hollywood movies ( your best invention) and carry on kidding yourself that you are special and leave the real people in the real world to get on with human progress
Now , just how powerful did we have to be then to impress you colonists perhaps we should have invented Mc Donald’s another of your wonderful gifts to the world.
The worst thing that ever happened to the world was Lord North decision to not continue the war in America after Yorktown, had he known what we know now he would have made peace with France and sent the entire Regular British Army over there. Not the bunch of semi pro conscripts under Cornwallis.
The miracle is he had already beaten you bible faced yanks when the French turned up.
And who founded those Colleges, Schools and Universities in your country? The presyterians, also known as, Rednecks, Hillbillies and Crackers.
If I were to sit here and tell you that presbyterians (Rednecks, Hillbillies & Crackers) were indeed Scots, would you have known the word Crackers comes from the Scots-Irish word in Gaelic called 'Craic' talk.
Hillbillies, mountainous supporters of King Billy, Prince William of Orange the Dutch King the 3rd. You didn't know that of course though, no surprise, you don't even realise you live off Scottish medical discoveries as well as going to Scottish educational establishments.
Okay, to tackle this: we are definitely not "force-fed religious bullshit" except in the way we are forced to accept Islam as a "Religion of Peace". Anyone trying to keep beliefs in Christianity is pushed down in our country by the Politically Corrective National Socialists (NAZIS). The and you can't possibly believe that all of us are the same right? I mean, our IQ averages are seriously brought down by our terribly accepting policies on letting anyone into the country and doing everything possible to make sure idiots don't die early like Natural Selection would dictate. Of course, I'm only 17, so would would I know.
What happened to the Brits man? The Anglican church must be torched as it is raising atheist all over England. England is like Russia back in the bad old days. A godless society. No wonder England is full of child molesters as morality no longer exist there.
thats wrong. becuase at the time we were strained on supplies, tending to other, more important colonies i.e. india which was much more valuable at the time. also, if you researched your history, you'd know that we were at our weakest and france joined in because they cant fight properly and will only gnaw at the ankles of a wounded lion when its half dead. the reason why your masiively wrong is this http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv... that explains why you are shite, and why every other country is better.
here are some other reasons
1. when japan wanted to have an honourable fight to the death, you went 'nah nuke them cos we will lose'
2. you joined both wars when you felt like it and proclaimed you won them even though you cant go into a fight at the last minute and go yeah we won. you need to ACTUALLY PUT EFFORT IN.
3. americans think stephen hawkins is a yank and that the nhs is shit, even though stephen hawkins is from kent in england and said the nhs saved his life.
there are many other reasons that justify why your wrong, but its a waste to explain to you americans cos you just cant fathom how to listen and use reasoning. yeah we dont have an empire anymore, but at least we went down with honour and went fair enough. when china have enough of you they will fucking rape all of you. when that day comes you'll be gutted.
also you lost the vietnam war, gutted. when we had our version the falklands we won.
we are miles better at war than you, and we fight for the right reasons. also as a logical thinker, i know that no american has the excellence of charles upham, a new zealand beast that ACTUALLY helped us when we asked and won the VC twice
point made, i win you lose. as usual
You are so damn ignorant if America hadn't stepped into World War 2 your country would have been fucked with the fall of France and you not being able to do shit so if we hadn't brought our asses over who knows what Europe would be like. You're lucky we were smart enough to see the real threat of Germany and come to your aid even though the reason we went to war was because of Pearl Harbor but we realized we could hold them off until we dealt with Germany. Plus I'm not saying nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki was good but honestly do you know how many more innocent lives would have been lost with the war going on for another who knows how long because we all know Japan wasn't giving up. Way more than the what we sacrificed for the end of the war.
Your not very intelligent are you? considering Britain was winning the war with its other Allies (not including America) all you did was step in and claim victory when you should not of, you lost less men then every one else and was in war for a shorter time.
If any thing Russia should of took the victory not America because Russia invaded Berlin by them selfs with out the help of the other countries, America only really defended them selves and not only that the Germans never did make it into Britain any ways the Battle of Britain which America did help in fought off the Nazi's but simply we would of won any ways we out powered the Nazi's by our selves at the time.
so if you were "winning" then how come you were getting bombed every night?
Because you can't stop a bomber from flying over the channel in the middle of the night. Anyway, we bombed germany loads as well and the only reason armerica wasn't bombed was because it was too far away
I feel the need to point out that if you stand in a museum in France that focuses on WWII, you will see pictures and newspapers thanking RUSSIA for defeating the Nazi's. There are paintings at Napoleons tomb (Les Ivalides) that show and Eagle eating a Nazi flag (not a bald eagle, the eagle signifies Russia as noted in the museum).
To the English, you were pushed of mainland Europe and did not make another landing in France until re-enforced by US troops, you weren't winning the war before they showed up.
However, repelling an invasion from a foreign empire that took most of the world to defeat single handedly for two years is a feat of remarkable courage and fortitude.
FWI the commander of the entire Allied force was an American, General Eisenhower.
You really are an idiot aren't you, firstly when america "stepped in" the war was already over for Germany, the USSR had them on the run and they could not beat Britain because unlike in america, Britain isn't full of fat useless inbred retards so they could put up a fight rather than wiping entire cities off the face of the earth when actually, Japan couldn't have fought much longer as they were running out of materials, but rather than wait for a surrender americans decided to murder 100,000's of people, great job doing that by the way, u ignorant prick.
Keep rewriting history tea bag and maybe some loser from your neighborhood, Mr. Patel and Mr. Khan, might just believe your delusions.
WHY OH WHY OH WHY, AGAIN YOU IMBRED ARSE
As soon as facts are presented you just go with the childish insults.
Why don't you go and do the human race a huge favour go jump.
What facts? Oh you mean the othe dude's facts. So he says but that's the Brits in this site's facts not the truth. Lets just thank god that Hitler made the mistake of opening up another front for his army to fight. Can you imagine if he stuck to his generals plan and didn't attack Russia. Hitler's decendants will be sipping tea in Picadilly Circus with you serving them.
Jump where?
go jump out of a cliff, why don't you go to Niagra and go for a walk on the falls or something. Just try to keep away from the Canadian side.
As soon as you are presented with facts you can't handle them, you are a fucking retard.
I have some very good friends who are American, I feel sorry for them having to put up with people who are so fucking thick like yourself that you seem to think that history can be re-written to suit your needs.
War is not glorious. I can only assume that as you keep referring to war you have never been in the military?
You are one hell of douche bag.
BTW, its INBRED not imbred. Thought you guys have the command of the English language?
We would have been fucked with the fall of France? Well France was completely overrun, (hence D-day), yet Britain was never invaded. Heard of the battle of Britain??? No because your ignorant.
Japan was already in the process of surrendering when America dropped the nukes but America wanted to show Russia it was more powerful.
We would have done it properly by accepting the surrender and so now there wouldn't be a bitter resentment which is why we have the best army in the world whilst yours goes around shooting eachother.
Maybe its a good idea to restrict your opinion on European matter as the Brits were of no used and couldn't be found in the Pacific Theater in 1945. Its all ANZAC on that side of the world.
Hitler declared war on you actually so dont see yourselves as a load of hereos youre just selfish fat pompous dickheads
hitlet declared war on england? rofl, im pritty sure when they invaded poland and a few other countrys, are priminister had meetings with hitlet and theres famous pictures of him stilling out of a plane holding a letter signed by hitlet saying he will no longer invade any more countrys, but as soon as they went into france i think it was WE Declared war not hitler... facts are america have better weapons, but we have more skilled forces, are Navy is the greatest in the world, are army is also, the air force is also "american air force bomb british soilders in afghanistan..." " so much for skilled forces america has" and are SAS/Commandos could walk into your country 2moro alone and with in 24hours have control of the white house.
iv been to america twice. i went to the worlds biggest McDonalds, walked inside they have aligaters in a tiny fish tank... wtf? then i look around theres so many fat twats eatin big macs which are like triple the size of ares due to the fact they need them that big to be called "big". USA Fail, you call a sport Football which you dont use your foot? thats like calling are football "soccer" handball ... seriously america is fucked up, i was watching "the amazing race season 17" the other day and theres just so many idiots...
even the english movies are starting to be as good as american movies which says it all...
so for all you americans go take your fat ass out to white castle and eat 12 burgers..
as it was our country stood alone after the fall of france. it was years later that america joined with us to fight the nazis.only after the japs attacked pearl harbour.besides that if you check out the real facts US companies were still dealing with and selling to the germans.(comanies like FORD GM etc) so it was America as usual was the only country to profit from war.and thats a fact.
Most of Great Britain's weapons in WWII were from America under the Lend Lease program.
And honestly, wtf? "when japan wanted to have an honourable fight to the death, you went 'nah nuke them cos we will lose'
You really think it's a better idea to just throw away millions of lives invading an island that there was no doubt we could take at a great cost rather than a show of force that sacrifices less than 1 million lives (a gross over estimation) to save millions of lives on both sides?
And honor? Have you fucking heard of Kamikazes? Please explain the honor in that.
Guess why we were in Vietnam? Cuz the French left and you guys decided that you couldn't help.
As for military strategy? You're troops in the revolution ran up a hill. Towards guns. Three times.
And got pwned by Guerrilla warfare.
And fought in trenches during WWI which we got passed in our Civil War more than sixty years earlier.
And last but not least, America will always be the inventor of Democracy as we know it today. And without a Monarch
Honestly, you're logic is a giant fallacy. How you can be proud of what you've done is one giant sad thing to see.
The Monarch had no power since 1649 when King Charles the first lost the civil war. After that England was run by a democracy. So thats been about 350 years for us run only by a parliment. That's before the USA was ever formed??? Flaw in your logic about inventing the modern version of democracy???
Actually the US founding fathers did increase the franchise to include all of the Colonists/"Americans" England’s democracy was at the time more of a constructional monarchy in that the King was the head of state but ever since the Glorious revolution ( a revolution in which practically no one was killed and William of orange was asked by parliament to be our King ) the King had drastically limited powers and parliament had the final say , this remains to this day at the time of George 3rd and the British Americas bid for independence only landowners and freeholders were allowed the vote. So the guy is half right but only about the form not the content.
Essentially England was a free democracy under English common law the Colonies were also run on the same lines and even now the US system is still run on the principles of English Common Law.
Also The English colonist that formed the "cessation/civil war call it what you like were only initially fighting for the rights as free born Englishman the notion of being American and forming a united states split the Colonies right down the middle and was only supported by about 40% of the colonists to begin with after Lord north gave the King a speech to read ( which is still the practice today) rejecting the pleas of the colonies was there any real shift in a majority view of independence being the only option,
Founding father John Adams in a famous text in America sited the English model as being the most enlightened form of government on earth ( so he modded it a bit and rejected all aristocrats) and substitute the King with a president all be it a president with almost absolute power but tempered by the congress and the justices
Pretty much the same as England at the time but with different names and the prime minister assuming the role of the USAs president.
Everything they are and everything they have ever been they owe to England l/Britain , their laws, the measurements , their system of democracy , their language the railways ( these would never have been built without the City of London investment by British stockbrokers and speculators in Fact U ,Grant complained bitterly about the amount of British owned land stocks for railway development in the late 19th century.
In Fact most of the inventions in the 19th and early 20th centuries were British inventions exported to the united states it was only in the quarter of the 19th with guys like Edison and tesla that American inventiveness took off.
Having a pop at America and Americans having a pop at Britain is as daft as Australia and new Zealand bickering over who’s more like the mother country
The USA doesn’t like Britain because most educated Americans know that their whole system and history and their very existence is due to the British/United Kingdom/ Albion call them what you like in the same way as any other of the white colony’s like Australia, Canada ( where most American loyalists fled after independence) new Zealand etc.
The fact that they are now the last man standing so to speak in the world should be cause for celebration for most Brits for all of the above reasons plus it means that the now Defunct British Empire still in a sense survives in a land started by a few Englishmen 230 years ago.
your calling us fat take a look in the mirror, you are the fattest country on the planet. in fact your worl renound for your high levels of obesity
haha child pornography is illegal here u dunce,

thank you for that. But really we are all as culturally diverse as everyone else is. The difference is we have a fucking retarded majority. I would love to live in Europe, but mostly because of the long established transportation systems. And the smarter people. And the generally more friendly people. And the communities. Which is Why I learned other languages. Oh, I'm the 17 year old from another point in this list of flamers.
This is the only tea bag comment that makes sense to me. These bands are the only Brits I appreciate. Not to mention that most members of these band possess good denture.
then you are a traitor and a cad !

You're a rarety then. Someone call the Guinness Book of World's Record.

Hey Tea Bag! Don't forget Led Zeppelin - the greatest rock group of all time. I'm a yank but I do love British groups from the past. Can't say much about todays English bands as they totally suck big time.

2 even if it wasn't it would be better than shagging my sister in my trailer before playing xbox the rest of the day and watching the Superbowl. American football: a sport so shit yours is the only country who bothers to play it. Football: a sport so good everyone does.
WRONG. Football: A sport so badass every other country is to pussy to play it! Soccer: Pussy sport!
LOL LOL Im British or to be more correct these days English ( that means Im white Anglo Saxon and been here for around 1000 yrs) and I though the comeback from the Yank about haveing the shit kicked out of us Brits by a tiny colony way back when we were the strongest was hilariuos
That guy must be of English desent as the sarcastic humour is very definitaly British
Hows it going with the Taliban?
As someone pointed out earlier the British Empire were already involved with something like 11 wars at the time of the American Revolt. Concentrating on a "new" country at this time would have been tactically incorrect when the profits of the Crown were really being made elsewhere.
Isn't it correct though that the British did return and successfully defended their interests in what is now Canada - which stopped the expansion of America?
By the way - how's it going with the Spanish lessons?
I only ask because that's what you will be speaking in 30 years time.
Ole!
funny, considering the american military protects all 30 billion pathetic dollars of your military...... our military is an average spender of 500 billion a year, put that in perspective of your dumbass patriotism and see who is the real powerhouse..... damn fucktards
OK pal so, because you spend more money on Military your there for the best country in the world, twat. If we are going to talk about it from this point of view then i would have to say in hand to hand combat 500 British Soldiers would shit on 5000 US troops haha its just the way it is British Army and Royal Marines are 100 times tougher and 200 times better trained 300times smarter than US troops. And its a fact the best country to live in is Norway. So that shits all over your patriotic dreams Ya cheeseburger munching cunt
You have absolutely no evidence to support the claim that British Marines are "100 times tougher 200 times Better" than american marines. We haven't fought each other since 1778 so theres no way of absolutely proving who is better.
Secondly, although america is most certainly home to obese people, we are also home to ALOT of physically fit people. The claim that america consists only of fat redneck hicks is, completely false.
Lastly, look at the contributions that america has made:
The car
The light bulb
Fucking electricity (if it weren't for the US, you brits would not be able to use your computers because there would be no electricity ;)
and the list goes on and on...
Thats well funny, you invented none of those things. Infact most of them where British and German. Thats a big problem with americans, they always bend history? Just type in "country most invented" on google its about 55% of inventions are British/English.
And your light blub/Car/TV/Car are all list under english.
there would be no computers if it wasnt for the US, microsoft and apple are from the US and the vast majority of computers in the UK are those two brands!
most computers are now made in S.E.Asia the original developement of todays computers was in fact accomplished by the british post office when working under contract for the ministy of defence at the same time they were attempting to crack the german enigma codes.another project that was developed as a result of this war research was radar and the first jet engines.how on earth you believe your own nonsense is beyond me
thats just 1 invention compared to all the great things we've invented. you just have to take a look at the victorian period. also we had the best scientists who made great discoveries.
Microsoft was founded on the coding from one homeless man, who sold his work to get a quick fix. I think that speaks more towards how great Microsoft really is, where the original owner just adapted someone elses work.
there would be no computers if it wasnt for the US, microsoft and apple are from the US and the vast majority of computers in the UK are those two brands!
sorry i didn't mean to reply to you but i wanted to reply to somone else so think like i never wrote this ok.
a company called apple just explains how dumb u yankees r with an atempt to make it funny nuff said
"ALOT" is two words you faggot! A LOT. Do you understand you fucking idiot.
Thomas Edison was not the first to invent the light bulb. A Brit named Joseph Swann did, years before Edison.
Edison was the first to patent the light bulb, because Swann was poor
That old tea bag might've just gathered a few fireflys, put em in a bottle, and VIOLA!! Light bulb made in England.
Karl Benz from Germany made the first proper automobile (car for you) in 1885 you stupid shit
You need to get a grip and a wider perspective.... it's people like you that give the yanks a bad name.. I know many north americans who are indeed successful and well travelled, who do not have an insular view of their country and see it for what it is including its faults and limitations! all countries have strengths and weaknesses and indeed just to ramble off rubbish, so you invented the light bulb? who is you exactly?? what is a yank exactly? the world had evolved and developed long before there was an america and would hve kept going, it would be interesting to go back and look at the genetics and DNA of some of the intelligent yanks and find out they are of 'British' descent anyway!! or French, Germanic etc!! and I must point out the biggest flaw in your tale that the NHS is rubbish (it's free) and your health system great (we have a guy over here we are treating because a 'yank' surgeon operated on wrong foot yep it happens but he had paid him more than a few dollars for it, and he's rated as a top surgeon!!!?? I happen to work highly in orthopaedics and know many people (surgeon level) from both sides, and it is well recognised that the USA system is flawed and lacking, the focus is on money/insurance.. surgeons, doctors any therapist practitioners cost is always a consideration, and surgery is carried out way too quickly when other including conservative/management and treatments would be more beneficial but not quite so lucrative eh!! you really cannot be that dumb investigate your health system further, ours may not be perfect but we recognise things and work to make them better, but I guess as yanks you just like to keep thinking that bigger is better and you have all the answers and everything is perfect... thank god your all not like that!!
Yes you are an overweight nation.. accept it it's a fact! and as far as your military is concerned, you are known as lazy a little stupid and trigger happy (generally you have a habit of shooting others and each other quite frequently!), yep it may be hear say but the whole world outside of your planet, thinks this... ooh and you are also known as a little vulgar and loud, can you not string a sentence together without being vulgar (sign of a lack of intelligence, didn't you know!)
Two points.
1. "(sign of a lack of intelligence, didn't you know!)" You do not talk about intelligence until you start comprehending how to use the English language. This includes grammar and spelling.
2. If your going to leave an anonymous comment this long, it just shows how much of a loser you really are.
This site is amazing. ^^
name one succesful battle the us marines won on their own without the help of britains sas or royal marines the only reason your army is a powerhouse is because of numbers say 10 german tiger tanks went up against shitty 50 sherman tanks they would take them out easilly but what happends when the next usa wave of tanks attack the tigers dont have enough ammo that is why ameicans are succesful in battle not that they r a great army but britain can do what americans do without them numbers which is solid evidence that the british armed forces r better
Well stated!!! Actually the American Armed Forces, as part of the Allied Force in the North African Campaign, were SO POORLY TRAINED and useless in battle against a GREATLY RESOURCE DEPLETED, worn out, and numerically inferior Axis Force commanded by Field Marshall Rommel; that the Brits/Aussies/New Zealander's called them "Our Italians"!!!! Even the average dumb ass fat fuck American (YES DUMB ASS DOES APPLY TO AMERICAN'S AS A WHOLE, WITH AN AVERAGE EDUCATION OF 8TH GRADE OR BELOW), knows how "effective", and "useful" the Italian's were in WW2 (screen door on a submarine)! Yet MOST YANKS have either never read any actual military history, or as stated above previously, too fucking stupid/inbred/brain damaged from meth/etc, to comprehend how shitty they were as an "Ally"!!! Once again, Yankee wankers arrive late in a World War, and act as if they single handedly kicked the Nazis asses, and caused the Capitulation & Collapse of the Third Reich!!! Had the British and other Commonwealth Forces failed against the struggle with Germany in the Atlantic, North Africa, Mediterranean; and if Great Britain had actually been invaded and conquered by the cancelled Nazi "Operation Sea Lion", there wouldn't have been anyone else to stop them nearly world wide!!!! The Nazis could have taken the USSR with a route through the Middle East, cutting off Russia's oil supplies in Iran, attacking there at their soft underbelly, and also through Eastern Europe as Barbarossa did!! Had that happened, the US would have been conquered in a shorter amount of time than that of France ;) So Yanks, those of you that are intelligent/literate enough, try reading some WW2 Military History other than the propaganda that was written in American History textbooks, or whatever Half-Truths the History Channel spews constantly stating how America, The Invincible, single handedly brought Hitler's Third Reich to an end!!! Even through your complete ignorance, and arrogance, you should be kissing British Ass, because without us, it would have been either Germany/Japan, or Russia/Japan on American Soil!!!!!!
You do know that the hole who made electricity thing is debated there are lots of people who claim it was them Ben Frank is just one loads of people think Nikoli Tesla invented electricity and no im not talking about Britain cuz i was taught that it was Ben Frank who did it but i read it in a book that lots of other people are considerd inventers of electricity. and also somthing that is better than all those thnigs is that you all speak English our language that we gave to you otherwise you would probebly be speaking french or somthing and also we invented
1.Rader which if you would of yousd you could of prevented pearl harbor
2.Gas Masks saved alot of lives
3.Penicillin also saved alot of lives
4.Jet engines yes you would be still flying spitfires into war if it wasnt for us
6.The submerine and its torpedo's
7.Steel production and if you didnt know stell isnt a natural metal its lots of differnt metals combined
8.and this is disputed by lots of people but some people believe that Humphry Davy inveted the light bulb not saying its true but you never know
And by the way our steriotype aint tea and crumpets anymore because we declared war on flaver its fish and chips now. lol
for your information germany was the 1st with the car.2.electricity was 1st used and supplied to homes in guildford england.the 1st computers were developed by the British post office on behalf of the war department during the attempt by british intelligence to crack the german military codes during WW2..3.it was at the Rutherford laboratory in Cambridge that the atom was split leading to the nuclear age.4 it was britain that developed and built the 1st jet propelled aircraft.5, it was britain that gave the world pennicillin and antibiotics.the discovery of theDNA code hovercraft railways hovercraft etc etc i could go on but i wont
Umm, what? The car: Germany
Electricity: England
Light bulb: Humphry Davidson, an Englishman, unlike your fake history where you pretend Mr Edison invented it
the Germans invented the car.
If it was not for the us British most things would not exist or just invented 100's of years later.
The proof that our troops are better then yours is that we have the worlds fittest and best trained army, we also have the worlds best army special forces the British SAS. We also have the worlds best navy special forces team the SBS.
i love this, an uneducated little prick. You talk about how you spend 500 billion a year on military? Yes you do, but its NOT your money, you borrow it. Due to this reason why the US is stumbling into heavy debt, it's why your money the dollar is USELESS to the rest of the world, 1 GBP is worth more than double of that of 1 USD. And the person who wrote this story above. Do some fucking research, Germany never invaded England and took london, what a load of shit, another example of poor US education in schools. And US miliatry doesnt protect anything, people who say US is the worlds police talk out their arse, the UN is the world police cold hard fact, they solve more problems within a day than the US does within a decade.
Why don't you learn how to spell military before you go and call someone "an uneducated little prick". Further more why don't you learn proper grammar on a 2nd grade level while you're at it. I couldn't take anything you actually said seriously because you're the prime example of oxymoron. Congratulations.
Quite strangely enough, you're so blinded by the case that the man that you replied to put forward that you couldn't understand that the miss spelling was in fact a common typo which all touch typers have. You don't even know what an Oxymoron is - I think you're trying to convey 'contradiction' or 'hypocrisy' in your message. You failed miserably there. Take it from the people who speak English properly and not the dialect of American English. Obviously you need to research terminology of the English language.
LOL that's funny. But common guys they are both great countries. I have nothing against Americans and I dont no why this guy hates Brits .I hate tea and why does every1 think we all have the same accent when I sound nothing like the "typical" accent. And America spends more money on there army then ever country in the world put 2gether so u would hope u have a good army. And about the dumbass guy who said we would have no light bulb I read a book when I was 5 which showed that a Brit all so made it just a bit later. And my grand dad used to tell me storys about how Nazis invaded London and captured him...... Oh wait that NETHER HAPPENED
Urm, you are full of crap. Are you so stupid as not to realise thatour military is as good as yours, we work in pounds, so it is different, AND relative to the population and geographical size of our countries, ours being an island... we are, percentage wise, faring much better than you in this sense...
Ye you spend that much on your military and look all of our armed forces are still fucking better then your Britain > fucking yanks
i would like for you to say that to the end of a M-16. also why is it that america also has 7 of 10 of the worlds best fighter jets? and why is it that you would choose a military under-acheiver(Britain) over a military giant(U.S.A.) who saved britain from a wipe out in both World Wars?
name a batle america won in world war 1 and compare them to belgiums victorys maybe then you will relise how dumb yanks are and world war 2 when you stepped in in 1941 when germany was on the run from russia into berlin that may also improve your knowledge im pissed off from your comment it makes me feel that you sacrificed less troops and u offend me by saying u won it on your own u yankee tosser
you insult Britain looking down the end of an SA80 (a far superior weapon).
And you are joking right? no? fine.
A great many (but not all) Americans seem to be under the impression that us Brits would be speaking German if it were not for their intervention during World War Two. They will mention things like the Lend-Lease act, “gutsy” daylight bombing raids and single-handedly defeating the German’s on D-Day. Well let’s take a look at a few FACTS shall we.
Great Britain fended off the prospect of a full scale German invasion during the Battle of Britain, before America even joined the war. THAT IS A FACT. A typical American will tell you that Great Britain was only able to win that battle due to the Lend-Lease act. For those of you who do not know what the Lend-Lease act was, it was a proclamation issued by the American government which gave Great Britain a blank cheque on which to purchase an endless amount of American supplies so that good ole Blighty could arm itself to the teeth and, of course, pay America back at a later date. We had all kinds of shit from them; tanks, guns, bombs, even ships!
But!
The Battle of Britain took place in the summer of 1940. The Lend-Lease act did not come in to effect until the beginning of 1941. Therefore, the Battle of Britain was won without the aid of our much richer cousin. So we would NOT be speaking German without their help. But it doesn’t matter how many times you try and explain this, a typical American will still try to tell you that his country saved our country’s “ass”.
When America joined the European war effort in 1943, Britain had been fighting the Germans for over three years, completely alone. It still had THE largest and best trained navy in the world, it had an air force that had defeated the previously undefeated Luftwaffe and was continuing to bomb seven bells of shit out of German industry and it had an army which had just kicked the Axis’s arse across the Sahara desert. Twice. I don’t know about you, but to me that doesn’t sound like a country that needs saving.
Yes, yes, I know the Americans supplied Great Britain with tanks and ammunition but let’s break this down into a simple analogy to illustrate why this doesn’t count towards saving our arses: Say I own a German car *wink* and it breaks down. The gear box is knackered and I don’t have the money to fix it. If I don’t get the car fixed, life will be difficult for me but it will not be the end of my world. So I ask my best friend, who happens to be an American *wink*, to lend me the money for the part. I go ahead and begin to repair the car by myself, but it’s an awkward job, the gear box is very heavy and I need help lifting it. I could finish the job on my own but it will take MUCH longer. So I ask my American friend to give me hand. We both fix the car in half the time and it’s a joint effort. I pay my American friend his money back in due course and all is well. But if that American friend then takes the credit for doing ALL of the work on the car, I’m just going to think he’s a complete fucking arsehole. Do you catch my drift?
So!
While the American’s did help us (and we greatly appreciate their support), they did NOT save us. And the moment we paid off our debts to them, we stopped owing them. My granddad fought on the Normandy beaches. A mortar went off six feet from his head and he had shrapnel buried in his skull (which remained there for the rest of his life) yet he still got up and carried on fighting. I am thankful to my granddad for my freedom before any American and I for one am FED UP of them taking credit away from him. He was a hero and he deserves respect. He does not deserve to have some ignorant wanker from across the pond who’s not even old enough to have fought in World War Two taking credit for his courage and sacrifice.
On a final note, let’s just take a look at what would have happened to the world if Great Britain fell to the Germans in 1940:
There would have been no western front; therefore, the Germans would have been able to concentrate more of its forces against the Soviet Union. The Germans lost against Russia by the slimmest of margins. I’m sure that if Germany had had those extra resources, it would have been enough to tip the scales in their favour. With the Soviet Union destabilised Japan would have most certainly launched an attack from its territories in Manchuria and the USSR would have collapsed. Secondly, there would have been nowhere for America or any other country for that matter to launch an invasion into Europe and save it from Hitler’s grip. Thirdly, there would have been no night and day bombing raids against German industry which would have continued to churn out weapons of war at an accelerated rate. Not to mention the German V rockets, jet fighters and a greater number of King Tiger tanks. They would have been unstoppable! No Britain would also mean no opposition for the Germans in North Africa and so Fritz could have rolled right on into the middle-east and taken all the oil it wanted. German wolf-packs would have had a free reign in the Atlantic and would have crippled the US Navy. Finally, Great Britain served as a corridor for many European scientists to escape and work on the Manhattan Project. These scientists were integral to that undertaking and without them, the nuclear weapons which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been delayed by many years. Conversely with no RAF bombing German industry, nuclear research on the German A-bomb would have continued unhampered and in all likelihood, it would have been the Germans who dropped the first atomic bomb on America.
If an American ever says to you “If it weren’t for us, you’d be speaking German”, ask him what language he’s speaking and then say; “So if it wasn’t for us; you wouldn’t be speaking at all.
I don't get it? why us guys are fighting, the war was ages ago, get over it, lets just be happy we all pulled through it and survived and not under nazi rule, and yes if you hadnt pulled into the war and the nazi's took over europe you would have been next (america) so you would have been in it eventually you just got a early start, plus your president helped ours, so come on were both meant to be together,stop this arguing.
Oh and two history chekup's for the guy who made this, the nazis never invaded london and held it, ever heard of the blitz?
oh and yeah someone mentioned its not your motherland, well no it might not be yours but it is half of canada's and since you guys are technically one, you might want to consider there place before saying it isnt USA's motherland.
c'mon guys just get over it, were not very different anyway, its actually funny how you guys are fighting when there are people out in Iraq fighting together Britain and America, weve always worked together and probably will in years to come we always take each others side. Thats why our government are so close!
I actually agree but the nazis definately never ever took London
That's a great example of the stupid, ignorant and arrogant thinking of Americans. oh we have an army, ;ets throw a lot f money behind it and that will make it powerful. erm no. Our army is highly trained, far surpassing yours which is why our sas would dick on your seals any day of the week.
you are a stupid fucking american cunt. You think because that because you spend more money on weapons than anyone else that makes you great? Your fucking gross country full of stupid, fat, gross people causes more pain, sorrow and misery worldwide than all the rest put together. Every single country in the world, and i mean all of them, hates america. You are the fucking dregs of the planet.
500 Billion Military spending and u constantly kill friendly force, civilians and get your ass kicked by 3rd world countries. (Somalia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, North Korea) Money well spent or just fucking useless cunts?
Actually even if you do spend more man for man our military is unmatched... its actually considered a fact by the majority of countries in the world. Even yours.
Militarily speaking, The USA IS the most powerful country in the world. Most countries - including yours - needs and courts American interests.
Name calling is pathetic. It's also blatantly untrue. Most large American cities boast populations that are slim, healthy and abnormally (compared to the UK) good looking;) The poorer areas do tend to have issues with weight/health, but that is no different than the in the UK, and considering how much bigger we are, probably you're worse off than we are if we were to compare apples to apples.
You're angry and miserable like the majority of your countrymen. Having lived in both countries, I count my blessings I have a Green card.
I’m pleased you have a green card because you are talking like an American so I supposed that is where you belong among the gun totting slim middle classes that shoot people who dare to step on their front porch.
However for every one of you there is an American who would swap his/her US passport for a British one in a heartbeat, In my job I know many Americans who having been posted here eventually move here with their families for good , because of the lack of fear , better education free NHS and the lack of phoniness in Britain , in the US everything that people say and do is plastic and bullshit, as for areas looking better than the UK well I could say that is because the country is 1000 plus years old and each one of Britain’s cities are over 40 times older than any city in the USA , but then I think of the outskirts of Boston and New York which I’ve seen them and they are worse than some third world countries.
Being big is means nothing for most of your short history you were considered a backwater and have been a great power for the last 60 years Britain for all its small size was a MEGA power with an Empire than spanned a 1/4 of the world gave birth to your country and remained a great power right up to 1945 that’s over 300 yrs. , and I don’t recall the British ever needing you then or courting any American interests in fact Britain regarded the United States as a Bloody selfish nuisance always whining and crying out for recognition and expecting everybody to jump when some fat congressman opened his stupid uneducated mouth it took four years after the revolution to get the British Army out of New York because your wonderful founding fathers who were all English traitors refused to agree to compensate the loyalists for their loss of property from which they were evicted by your so call FREE Fair minded patriots , so of course these days everybody courts US interests because they want your MONEY and INVESTMENT you silly Billy not because you are powerful , they to have seen you defeated time and time again by small countries that you have trouble finding on the map ,your adopted nation if you can call it a nation , ( more like a club for people from all over the world like African Americans Italian Americans polish and Russian Americans etc.) has only been around for 230 years.
I f Britain had been a State of America since her birth she would be 1000 times more successful in everything field of human endeavour than all od your 50 states put together, Australia is a big country but they are not a superpower and neither is Canada which is bigger than the USa lol
Quote “You’re angry and miserable like the majority of your countrymen. Having lived in both countries, I count my blessings I have a Green card."
Well I from England and I don’t know anybody who is angry or miserable so I don’t know where you get your facts , perhaps you had a bad experience with a Brit at some point but that statement alone makes it obvious that you have never lived in Britain and are just saying that to advance your point.
nazi in london lmao!!! u americans were thinking bout joining the nazis in both wars, the only reaosn u got ur independance was because france and spain helped you.
you drive on your side of the road we drive on ours.
this todd musnt be british you fat cunt.
i cant wait for america and britaint to go to war your army is way to unfit and no match for our infantry guards, royal marines, raf regiment, sas, sbs and queens royal protection all u have is seals, marines, army and a airforce
the nazis were only in action during the second world war, the first world war was kaiser wilhelm
Don't forget the Dutch aslo helped aMERICA in their war of so called independance. The wankers needed 3 countries plus themselves to beat HALF the British army..
The whole wide world truly hates you united states of america... i hate that you speak English.. and your not the most powerfull either, your self promoting which intern convinces your dumb nation into thinking your great, but really your nothing but thick delluded and ignorant, and the world ignores the ignorant.. i live with a Yank in London (im from England) and the shit he comes out with would make you cry with laffter. its like your country is being ruled by and american version of kim jung il you get told some bullshit and you believ it, which is why everybody hates you...
Does any of that matters now..? WHO CARES! WE STILL WON THE WAR STOP LIVING IN THE PAST LOSER TODAY AND YES WE ARE THE STRONGEST! DEAL WITH IT TEA SIPPING ENGAYLISHMAN
Only educated people from America should use this site and sorry you didn’t win the war the Russians did, also the only reason YOU drink coffee is because ALL Englishman drunk coffee before the war of independence and as all Englishman created the united states of course so did they, it was only after we traded Tea with China that we started our love affair with the beverage

You fuckhead. So what if we went to Iraq for the oil. Why did Britain come along with us? To suck our dicks that's why.
like you sucked our dicks for 300 years before the so called "revolution"
Well technically, you were sucking your own dick, because we were an English colony then, not America. Wow, you must be flexible.
And like all American men it only took around 3 seconds before you started shooting......
American Men are well known for their 3 pumps and a squirt....
fock off we discovered america. america is a fat country alls what america does is eat mcdonalds kfc burger king pizza hut america our little baby sister
You didn't discover shit you fucking retard. First off, this land had already been occupied by Native Americans. Second off, Christopher Columbus the one that "discovered" America was of Genoa nationality. The only thing you've managed to do is prove what an inferior country you come from, whatever country that may be. Congratulations.
he discovered the continet in south america we heard the news and voyaged and landed in the usa before they found it
who cares if we did or didnt discover it. Point is we Owned you. not in the internet term, in the actual term of slavery and all that. where some1 owns something else. Like we Owned 1/3 of the world.
Learn some grammar, then maybe someone'll take you seriously. I'm british and I agree that whatever stuck up wanker wrote this is an idiot, but you really arn't helping your own argument by sounding like an uneducated bitchy moron.
Lmao. it's so sad that Engaylishmen got to stereotype. so Big countries are also fat like Russia China? Well at least Americans don't sip Tea all day and have cricked yellow teeth lookin' like they've been punched in the mouth. lol fool stereotyping gets you nowhere. just to a lower level of Stupidity and ignorance i have noting against The English honestly And no you didn't discover America only thing that happened was you came to America and brought us the English language yet you brits blame us for changing it..? Wow STOP LIVING IN THE PAST!!
LOL we owned America for 300 years it was called Britsih America and All of the population were ENGLISH colonists from ENGLAND .
crooked yellow teeth, well all Englishman dont have them anymore than all Americans are fat
So who is doing the stereotyping
Not that you will read this, I'm sure you're off drinking tea eating crumpets.. but in case you do read this you jackass you may HAVE owned America but HELLO 300 years ago lol... you don't own us anymore so GET OVER IT.
And I just love how you English fucks are nothing but unintelligent judgmental losers, all you guys have on America is that there are Fat people, and insect? come up with something new, because last time I checked... England was no better in the Fat category, trust me I've been to England.. And a lot of the people I saw were fat, with fucked up teeth lol
Oh and J Walsh you obviously like being the little scavenger on here reading through posts and replying and belittling people on their education when in all reality you and your FEB's don't know a lick of education.
Ha amazing. Amazingly retarded but then that's normal coming from a yank. First WW1 and WW2. England was never invaded we had something called the blitz upon where the Germans would bomb us every night for a year or two then in the mornings we would get up sweep away the debris and go to work. Re the independence war, you wouldnt have got very far without the help of the french. You were our bitches then and still are. America cant do anything without ENGLAND's say so. Oh and the Holocaust was kept secret you ambitious cunt haha. The British army has NEVER been beaten. USA well lets have a look at the history - Vietnam Korea Bay of Pigs you guys fought among yourself for fuck knows how long then there was Iraq fucked that up the first time so had another crack OOPS fucked up again somalia? fail! every war you have tried to embark on you have failed everytime you have tried to look big or impressed us your Big Brother you have Failed. You should stick to what you know ..eating
Wrong - all wars are about money.Every single war since the beginning of time has been about money. Oil = money.
If obama disarmars the us nukes england wil have the most powerfull army in the world and we will start wars because we can
England Rules!!!!!
so, (according to you) as of now, america has the most powerful military.
Check and mate.
Its only because you have nukes but soon obamas getting rid of them and so is rusia so england will have the power to do what ever they want
And the only reason you think you are the most powerfull country in the world because you are so filled with crap you cant prove it
And brits have better teeth than you fuckers
GB has enough nukes to cripple the US.
It should never come to this - as we should be allies.
The US will soon be replaced as the worlds Superpower by China.
Then the US will have the same mentality that we in the UK have at the moment - of having been the dominant world force (Britain was for a lot longer than the US have - and they are already receding) longing for the return of Global Power.
It will soon be China's responsibility to police the world. Hopefully they will do a better job than the Yanks have.......
WW2 was the best thing to happen to the US. They managed to get themselves out of massive national debt by selling weapons to both sides of the divide, and also were lucky enough in that due to massive casualties on the British side that the Empire couldn't be maintained. Like all great Empires the British reached too far - and then eventually collapsed. The same will happen to America (who really don't have an Empire). The fall of the British Empire left a void - one that both America and the USSR were more than willing to fill - as there was no-one left to stop them.
The same will happen to China in time, and then some other nation will take up the mantle.
Unfortunately it looks as if it could easily be an Islamic Empire (possible Turkey again, or God forbid, Iran leading it) as the Caliphate is being rebuilt all around us in open view, and all we can do is bitch at each other instead of joining together once more ready to fight a common enemy which will be much crueller than the Nazi's and Japanese combined......
Eh,what the hell do you mean?I come from Scotland,and I do not think this is fair.You always start something and we sometimes have to take the credit!We've done lots of things for you,and you just laze around thinking about yourselves than others.Britain rules,fuck the USA!
Oh yeah,and if you think about it,lots of other countries hate you as well.No wonder.
coming from a scot means a lot because many scots dont want to be part of britain
Wow, you do know that America DID stand by and watch the Holocaust and let it happen. You mother fucking Americans didn't enter the war until YOU were attacked by the Japs. Remember?
How can you be so fucking retardily stupid? Oh right you were born in America.
you have sick sense of imagination and you were getting beat up by your "little sister" until france butted in.
it's nice that you feel your country has to show off it's utter strength by invading a country for that sole reason. real nice.
Lol don't make me fucking laugh, you can invade iraq? I'm sorry how long did it take you to invade that country? Until Britian stepped you were fucking being harassed and even now with the 9/11 you are being bullied by Afganistan. WTF You didn't do anything about the holocaust it was European soldier that went to rescue people from death camps. Wait a minute, who discovered America? Us British and don't give crap that it wasn't because you know its true, who gave you your language? Oh it was us, So all i'm saying is that US is England's bitch. Oh and by the way we discovered football, it's not called ''Soccer'' everyone else gives it the right name why cant you, you cunt eating fruit loops. Lastly, were tea drinking bastard with dirty teeth? I have pity on your fat american selves, at least were not inbred cum swilling fat bastards. Get your history right OP.
you yanky doodles are so pathetic, you speak millions of lies, Britain did own America, and you bred from us, do some real fucking history.
mate i aint being funny but the greatest history belongs to britain full stop. America played a big part in world war 2 but fucking france did more than you by resisting occupation and sending us vital information. also russia defended leningrad which was a vital place for germany to take over so they had a stranglehold over europe, germany failed almost as bad as you.
are you fucking stupid or something you are nowere near the most powerful country you fucking redneck every war you have u need some fuckers help you havnt won a war alone yet you always need the brits help and as for you "beating the shit out of us and jackin all our shit and leaving us with a cold rainy island that nobody wants" thats aload of bullshit we had bigger fish to fry then u at the time you fat inbred bitche otherwise we would still be your fkn daddy bitch
Stupid fuck you didnt leave us with a small rainy island we already fucking had it you fucktard we have had it for like 2000 years..idiot
I fucking hate you arrogant bastards you think your best at everything may i just point out we had the largest empire with the most men and ships and we burnt down your white house retard
for information ITS YOUR FATHER COUNTRY. england wouldn't be helping you if you beat the shit out of it you tell me wtf happened in the war of 1812clear win fur us eh? rainy and cold you say atleast we dont have a place called LA with no snow at all.
America invaded Iraq for one reason, we can....... OMG???? Ok listen up.
America invaded Iraq for one reason ...... OIL! you stupid little fuck-wit.
And you decided to kill thousands of innocent people at the same time.. Seriously, If you believe yourself you are a lost cause.
One thing i know about America.... 99% of the world hates you and you ALWAYS make a situation worse.
firstly america was formed partly from english people, america did stand there with a sad face in ww2 until they were attacked, britain is a small country that formed the british empire, no where in history is there an american empire, and america failed big time in vietnam
"Britain is our little sister who we beat the shit out of"
Are you fucking stupid, you hid behind the French to do do all the work for you as you both didn't like the British, and whilst we were fighting you, we were fighting another 11 wars around the world, so we couldn't care about your little pathetic war, we needed our resources on more important things.
Actaully you stayed of the war as longs you possibly could because you didn't want to be involved. In fact you purposfully turned a blind eye to the holocaust. You have completly undermined you enitre point there, you arse (please spell it the right way, you are ARSE! Not a donkey)
Please remeber that at the same time of WW", America was still segregated. It was still illegal to be homosexual. That was within your own country- why didn't you step and stop it? Think about it.
Bollocks,you lardy arsed yankee dickhead.Just remember,that if it was not for the Brains from the UK,then your Burger munching,KFC gorging,overweight craphole would have jackshit,and that's a fact.As far as being the most powerful country,then you crudheads had better wake up to the fact that IVAN will be jackbooting into your decrepit country a lot quicker than you think,and then you will see who the most powerful country is.Your skanky country might be better at spreading disease and pestilence across the world,but that's about it.The UK gave the world everything,such as,the Industrial world,the television,the radio,the computer,etc and all your country has ever done is stole the ideas from others,including Germany.You blackmailed the UK into giving you the Jet engine.So, before you open your big gob,try checking your facts.
your a retard
one we have the best army in the world eg SAS THE BEST special forces in the world
two you marines are most like are TA
three you only got involved in ww2 because you got bombed and you mostly gave us weapons and planes
four we told you about pearl harbour two weeks before it happened
five we send are PTI's to train your army
six all the yanks do is friendy fire for example in afganistan you shot down an apache hellicopter because you thought it was taliban taliban dont hav apaches
7 all america do is sit on the side line and your not the most powerful country russia is twat they can call on pretty much every one in there country because they all have to train
8 we had to come help you in iraq and afganistan
9 we your fucking brother country if it came to it we kick seven shades of shit out of you
10 your shit with you weops eq you just friendly fire
11 you sent a new spy plane over to england to see if we could see it we had tracked it from before it took off
12 we have the best pilots in the world RAF
13 if you were so fucking hard you would have already kicked off
14 you sent a spy plane to korea the told you to fuck off or the would nuke you so you did
15 are mrines are better than yours ares are specialists
16 your greedy you went in to iraq for oil

19 best navy in the world
20 are countrys name is (GREAT) BRITAIN yours is america we earnt the great
21 your just jelous that we have more history than you so go get a burgar super size it then shuv it up your ass cunt
Yeah america is the strongest. Thats why china and north korea can mess with anyone they feel like. China can win a war just by a simple embargo the united states has to invade and try to keep control of a country for 7 years. and england was never conquered in world war 2. No foreign army has landed on england since the french guy henry invaded like a millenium ago
Really you think that? Read a book "because we can" doesnt mean shit. Britain and her common wealth countries can kick your asses, the European union can kick your asses. China, can kick your asses. Arrogance will destroy a nation. Take a look at the British empire at it's height if we wouldn't have given up on you colonies , and said take your land you wouldn't be aroound. You didn't beat us we just had bigger things going on than 13 insignificant colonies.
can i just say child porn IS illegal in England u fucking retard and Germany NEVER took over england. Yes, America helped win the war but not on their own. Also can i point out that Obama said that America was leaving the war but left loads of soldiers their wtf is that about? Plus u did watch the holocaust for years with a sad face u didnt join WW2 for years, u joined pretty much at the end. So stop being a fucking stereotypical, racist, arrogant arsehole and get over urself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if u actually if u read history u spastic u would no u chickens didnt come in to world war two intill it was almost over cos u was to scared to fuck u all yanks
mate your a fucking idiot . shut the fuck up your probably some fat keyboard warrior usa is a shit country maybe Britain is too but you Americans think you're better than everyone when you got fucked in Vietnam and your not doing too good in Afghanistan . If anything we are more like your mum because you speak our language , some of your cities and states are named after british thing and all your culture pretty much comes from us
Cold rainy island? Dont know geography much do you, the UK has less than half the rainfall on average of most of the US, minus the desert regions.
Cold, its warmer than the about half of the US in both winter and summer.
The UK has been one of the most invaded desired islands in human history. Read some history about the countless invasions attempted to Britain. Its fertile land, its unobstructive terrain, its temperate climate making it cooler than European summers and warmer than European winters, and its mineral wealth.
You didnt "beat the shit" out of Britain, British orders were 3 months out of date by the time they reached the front line, it took the American colonists (the smugglers of America started it, a country based on law breakers hmm) plus the worlds next three biggest Empires to beat one, the British and it took years.
It wasnt beating the shit out of, it was using your friends and dying strength to knock one person to the ground.
I'm from the caribbean and i wanted to know if all you americans are so full of shit. You know that some people from america did come from england right. So you could be talking crap about yourself, family, friends and neighbours.
your powerful on an individual level but if Britain,France,Germany,Russia,China,Japan,Israel all decided that there sick of your bullshit well let's just say good bye America honestly you would only need two or three of those countries to do it too also Britain is not rainy all the time it's just that your stupid and think it is
Idk, I think Russia could tak you 1 on 1.
Oh and I don't think you can call Britain your "little sister" since Britain has been a country since the 10th century or so and America has been a country since 1776. Not to mention the fact that British people colonized America and that's how the country started.
Dumbass.
You beat the shit out of no one asshole. Without the help of the French, the spanish, the dutch, and countless numbers of indian tribes, the British would have owned you for another 150 years!!!!. You didnt win your own independence. The French and the Spanish did it for you!!!. Add to that that the British were also fighting other wars around the world, and so their resources were spread pretty thinly. So i guess that what i'm trying to say is that you Americans mostly have the French and the Spanish to thank for your independence!!!!
FUCK YOU U PESSIMISTIC KID AT LEAST THIS GUY HAD THE BALLS TO STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AGAINST THOSE ASHOLE BRITS WHO ARE GOOD FOR 1 THING: COMPLAINING!
U silly little fat nobs. You really think America is great. look at hurricane Katrina. how can any of you sleep when a large amount of new Orleans people are living in boxes because your stupid arse hole government cant be arsed to clean up the shit, and spend it on WMD and big stadiums for universities. Who ever said you're a great country kinda needs to think (about you're situation, not mc donalds)
haha Everyone starts with fat. Fat, fat, fat! Also stop repeating what Jeremy Clarkson says. "Oh, how can they sleep knowing bla bla bla.." Well the rest of us "fat" Americans have bills and things that cost money too. Everyone had warniong of what was coming. They chose to stay you fuck head. You know, you and all of you other stupid fucks have no damn clue about what you're talking about. It's all insults that you picked up from some other ass with rotten trench mouth. Look you lost so just floss, rinse, and brush. The shut the fuck up!
Us Brits start with "fat" you Americans end with "teeth" and our stereotype to you is correct while your's is wrong.
floss, rince and brush wots that somhthin yur fat sisster/mom told you to do bethor yu went sleepyweepy you fat basterddd
What language do you speak?................
Oh shit man someone bombed our towers........... Lets go to war!
FYI..... It was an inside job. Weapons of mass destruction only exsisted because the brits and the americans (plus other countries) sold them to Iraq.
Yeah i might have bad teeth and that can be fixed. you will always be a cunt.
You're the best for being stupid!You just think you're so great,which makes other countries hate you.Ha ha
I like America , but people have got no right to slang Britain off because quite frankly Britain is the best.
1. Britain discovered America
2. In Britain health care is for free
3. we are allowed to drink from the age of 18 , but in America you would be under age.
4. America bought London Bridge but that wasn't the bridge that they wanted because they ordered the wrong bridge.
5. Our beaches are beautiful we have no sharks or posion bugs
6. we have delious foods and alot of people in america are FAT.
7. The Crime in america is so much worse
8. and most of their films suck
9. Alot of american actresses can't act
10. America is just trampy
11. Britain won against germany , Britain was a brave country and we saved france , we are only a small country.
12. I am proud to be british.
13. Everybody hates american football it totally sucks.
First off, how did Britain discover North America? The Native Americans found it first, then the Vikings and then Columbus, who was such a twat he didn't even know where he was.
If Great Britain is America's father country just because at one time you "owned" us, doesn't that mean France is your father country since they whipped your ass in 1066?
Speaking of wars, Britain has absolutely no right to call Americans war pigs. Just because the past eight years have been a little hazy doesn't mean the last thousand years of bullshit Britain's pulled on the rest of the world gets to be wiped clean.
George W. Bush? Okay, we elected him but your little pissant of a "leader" Tony Blair held his bootstraps every inch of the way.
Next, wow, your drinking age is lower than ours. Big fucking deal. It's not like the average American doesn't start drinking around 18 anyway.
Fat America? Just another stereotype like yellow buck-toothed England. But I suppose there's truth to both -- except along with some of the tubby we enjoy the presence of some of the most beautiful people in the world. Who does England have to offer, The Spice Girls and Ricky Gervais?
Speaking of, British comedy (with the exception of Monty Python) is fucking terrible. It's like watching a few losers who think they're smart and witty. Gervais, Russel Brand and Eddie Izzard can't hold a candle to Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks or George Carlin.
So stick your stiff upper lip straight up your bum.
Of course Columbus didn't know where it was. It was an exploration you dumbfuck.
And we Brits think American comedy is crap, so it works either way.
And you think Britain owned the world for a thousand years?
i agree, heres an example of yank comedy (this comes from an immigrant to the usa) "Well hoowwww-dy, the n darn niggers be all up in our jobs and the *fart* HEYUCK HEYUCK HEYUCK look at that! *canned laughter turns on* *comedian gets a boner*
well, some attack at our allies.
anyway, there has been a great symbiosis between american and british humour from Chaplin to Monty Python, and those other humourists like Hitchcock and so on. Not a competion.
And, your inclusion of Bill Hicks is a bad choice. he remains better known over there than here, he went from being lauded as a great wit and playing in the same theatres as oscar wilde, to being treated like shit and dying in obscuirity in his own homeland.
ah, well, yet another victim of fifteen years of cultural decline. audiences that will clap at anyting , witless humour and all the rest
you obviously dont know your history britain has NEVER!!been conquered england has but that was before the time of the union so you are a liar.
War pigs well you are in the sense you invade without a proper plan just bomb it and run round firing and hope for the best the typical american strategy, if it wernt for brits, aussies, kiwi's you would have been raped in the war like vietnam etc including ww2 you came in so late and lost alot of troops very very very fast so big up the american war machine its only twice the size the uk's yet your crap fighters well equipped and you have 5 times are population pathetic that you call yourselves a superpower haha.
Tony blair is a retarded ming like fat pig gordon brown but so are obama(gone against everything he said hed do) and bush well get a proper leader back not long now as soon as pollitcal correctness and media brainwashing falls and the curse of multicultarism haults so we can be in peace.
Fat americans stereotype hmmm is it really last i heard there been lots of american and world surveys and tests agreeing your country is the fattest overall and yellow toothed brits that a lie because weve had no such survey or tests state so you got that sterotype from austin powers and the fact we have lots sweets including having to pay for dental care.
Beuatiful people in america ermmm your wrong there like britain is better the sexiest woman i the world was voted shes british and where 4th aswell theres others so learn some facts.
British comedy is worldwide reknowned america comedy stays at home as it cant wow any other crowds american comedy is so boring same old junk only good thing was scary movies and your actors suck so unrealistic no wonder brits take the awards every year.
you stupid yanks fuking talkin shit about england again we founded your country you belong to us your great great grandads were all english who moved to america be 4 we discovered you that land was ruled by wild fukin indians.
then in 17 century your country was under attach which brittain saved you from then we charged extra tax wich was right because we lost men because of fighting your war.
then you declared war on england and guess what you got killed so bad and it was embarrasing you realy were getting slaughted until you got france and spain and loads of other countries to attack england and even then it took a very long time be 4 we let your country stop paying taxes youse are weak you rely on other countries to win your war.
stupid yanks and oh yeah american foot ball dont campare to englash foot ball/ soccer you dumb bastards get it in your head that you were genarated from a english background you greed nobs
haahahah, we are war pigs? we invaded without a reason?
have you learned your history about your own country dumbfuck brits...??
if you did you would learn that britian invaded africa to gain land because they felt the africans were inferior to them so they didnt deserve the land they lived on... damn assholes, grow up and respect other countries that are your allies
you're insane. this is a dig at england (a completely wrong one at that) you all try to take the piss out of us and then say 'respect your allies'. definitley not, come out of your bubble and realise the world isnt ruled by america, and america isnt as perfect as you think. yeah we might have been tight to africa, but when we realised racism was wrong at least we fucking accepted that fact, unlike your country that fucking blame black people for everything. germany invade england? you fucking mentallist i suppose you get taught that america founded the world? fucking crazy. 1066... someone knows thier history, you'll also know that the vikings invaded, and the romans. this was because 'britain' wasnt formed then you cretin. and england was just celtic farmers, which some still chased them off. there are so many countries that are better than the usa. germany for one. 9/11 = fucking awful event and its a shame people died. but its also wierd how your 'morally right country of heroes and perfection' went 'hmmmm al qaeda bombed us?? let osamas family go? then we'll invade IRAQ!!!' IRAQ???? i see no similarity there, just an excuse to invade and give confidence to america to show they can beat a weak country. brilliant. your day will come when you realise your not as brilliant as you think as that other guy said china will fucking bum you soon.
also all you patriotic yanks, why are you using british phrases if we are that bad?
Um, which country abolished slavery first? I think you'll find it was England. Besides, what would you know about England's history? Whatever you were educated in your high school in your history class about Europe would have been minimal information. I know that for a fact.
You should be proud of your country and its achievements, USA has made herself great. However, no country is perfect. England has had some bad kings, but America has had some bad leaders. Look at Nixon. Human nature is selfish, and there are only a few good men compared to the majority.
I cannot stand ignorant idiots: those who don't know a thing yet they feel they need to educate the world with what minimal or non-existent knowledge they have. Instead of cussing, actually contribute to this.
FYI: I'm English. My teeth are perfect - not a single filling or problem. I think you'll find that the stereotype is usually wrong. However, if a stereotype has been proven, it then a fact.
FACT: England does not have dental problems.
FACT: USA is the most obese country.
FACT: ENGLAND AND THE USA ARE ON THE SAME SIDE. So quit arguing.
The editor of this article needs to stop bashing us too. This Todd is not worth your time. He sounds like a jerk. But if you're the nice guy that America is STEREOTYPED to be, then you'll be nice, regardless of Todd's attitude.
Oh - another thing - I don't care about Posh Beckham either. As for driving on the right side of the road, WHO CARES?
If Germany invaded England, then why am I here in a free country? Invading England would've been one of the turning points for Hitler's success.
Another thing - I don't particularly like Elton John. If anyone else did, then he'd still be in the media every day. Yet he's only mentioned during scandals that are his business. Pretty much, he's a nobody.
Never heard of King Ralph. Yet you seem to judge an entire country based on one film that was made in AMERICA. That's right, it was produced in America, by Americans.
So, this is one redcoat that wishes J.B. Hour just shut up about things he doesn't know. Do some more research, mate. You might learn something.
your forgetting who started this... An American, so why don't you respect us?
Plus all this stuff about us being invaded by the french in 1066: technically we're not the same as then, now we're a mix of German, Italian, French, Polish, Celt and Saxon. Also it was Normans not the French.
Plus England hasn't been succsefully invaded since William of Orange and we wanted him to replace our retard King.
We're more awesome than you because we have had the biggest empire in the world, the first agricultural revoloution and the first industrial revoloution. (look it up you vaginal belchs)
you english faggots (i don't mean cigarettes) should get out of ireland. all you're doing is trying to hold on to one last piece of land so you don't look like total bitches.
The British don't own Ireland, you idiot! They own 6 counties of Ulster, called Northern Ireland. I live in Northern Ireland, and I am proud to be British!
Most Americans don't seem to realise that Ireland is partitioned and that it has been since 1921.
For the record. If you mean someone from Belfast, don't call them Irish (unless they would like you to). We are not Irish (unless some people want to be)
I always thought that northern ireland was in the uk. Britain is scotland wales england and other crap islands.
get out of afghanistan so we can leave then u yankee tosser elephant and castles more important then fucking washington
for your information Northern Ireland is part of Britain by choice .it is always free by the use of the ballot box in a general election to decide that it wants to remain so .as it did when the counties in the north voted (its called democracy)that way.despite i might add all sorts of attempts by americans to destabilise it by supplying guns and aid to the IRA through Noraid. Although everyone else of sound mind knew the situation regarding these murdering acts of terrorism America went on supporting these vile animals .that was of course until terrorism in the form of 911 struck America itself Then when they were hurting they stopped it. the loss of many Irish and British lives was directly attibutable to American treachery.
Get out of Alaska? And Hawaii?
And actaully in 1921, Irish people were given a choice if they wated to be independant or remain part of Britian. It was agreed that they would be divided. Ulster is part of Great Britian. The Republic of Ireland is not an Independant Nation.
At least we let them chose. Rather than buying them!
Bitches.
It wasnt us the brits that wanted to stay in Ireland we handed them their freedom to the whole country in 1921 to Michael Collins it was the half breed Ulster scots desendents of protestant Scots who settled there in 1620 and became loyalists, this lot threatened to start a civil war if the British goverment had handed the whole country to the catholic south.
we Brits dont want Ulster its a pain in the arse , they are all retarded and insanely violent and their accents are like listening to a penny being scrapped over a blackboard, Britain would hand the whole god forsaken dump of a country to the south tommorrow if polically it could , but when you have a few million insane inbred Ulster mad people screaming their allegince to the Queen to do so would be like electing a new US president on the basis of the lowest vote count.
has anyone else noticed that if the Americans want to "Diss" the Brits then they can only go on about yellow teeth or.............. they have to reffer to about 200years ago.
Just a quick one for you yankies......Britain was created in 1707.
Anything before that would be England!
However... If the Brits want to diss the Yanks then we only need to reffer to present tense explaining how good you lot are at fucking things up.
To British Spartan, couldn't agree more with you m8, British comedy is legend, Only Fools and Horses a golden example of British comedy, even Germany copied of that show, you know, like America does to all ours? Britain's got talent, X-factor, Dancing on ice etc. the list literally goes on for ages. The American Government is based of the British Government (which is the most complicated yet best in the world, fact, even if we do have pricks runnin it). And yet Americans say they hate commies and stuff? well they are pretty much in the same boat as them the hypicritical bastards seeing they are the only 'free nation' who don't have any human rights, seeing their government refuses to sign up to the treaty Europe has signed to, to respect their citizens. Matter of fact Obama is ass licking European leaders (espeacilly Britain) as he has realised how much the US is actually fucking hated. One more thing, US isnt even a superpower no more, im not going to even go in detail, just do some research you yankie twats, and if you really want to know how your not a superpower because your too ignorant to accept it or too lazy to research it (ill go with lazy) ill happily oblige if you respond, just to give your little patriosim shit spoon fed by your shit leaders to you a hell of a blow. Your leaders lie to you, put on a fake persona that your still a superpower, well what do you expect, you have no human rights, An iraqi has more human rights than an American, fact.
boost upon your history because when you get to your asshole secondry school in america they will ask who discovered america
im afraid statistics are not stereotype and the fact is your still all pretty fat. dont you start talking about history you have absolutely none at all! you have only been around for a few hundred years
the funny thing is you know all of those British comedians but i doubt the average Brit would recognise any of those names you mention, (I know I didn't). Besides British humour i personally think is better than American and even if people don't agree you can't deny that it is more witty and subtle maybe thats why you don't find it funny. You wouldn't recognise the humour unless it slapped you in the face.
Fat America a stereotype? Lol I think not? Facts suggest they are the most obese country in the world at the moment. But there are no facts to proove that we have bad teeth. I got another question, If you have so many beautiful girls in your country, why do you fuck your cousins sisters and occassionaly mothers? We can say the same about your crap comedy, Chris Rock he prances round the stage trying to act white. Frankie Boyle, Michael Macyntire, Russel Howard, put your country to shame.
we had our arse whooped in 1066 but if that did not happen the whole world would be completely differnt because the course of history will change and many things would not exist if that did noty happen eg no castles. castles were the first form of protected towns which if 1066 did not happen we would not be advanced enuf to build castles
You think Richard prior and american comics are funny , I feel sorry for you yanks you only ever laugh at slap stick humour with people pulling faces and falling over , sorry your just not bright enough to appretiate sutle humour now Joan Rivers shes the ONLY yank comic that has ever made me laugh
If you think that British TV programmes are crap why do you keep copying all our reality TV shows like the office, the Apprentice, the real Hustle, I never heard of Bill Hicks or the other one But Richard Pryor ? blimey is that the best you can do I like Joan Rivers because she is the only cynical American i have ever heard most American comedians are really surprised when they come to the UK make stupid faces and yell in high pitched voices and nobody laughs because in America everybody does .
Just shows you the level of intelligence of the average American then does it not when they laugh at things that only British infants would
Gerviais , Brand and Izzard form of humour is far too adult and intelligent for them
Hicks and Carlin were geniuses , but since then ?
I cant thing of a single good US comedian with possible exception of Jon Stewart and he has a team of writers. Tony Blair and russel brand are both crap.
I much prefer UK comedy
Izzard is actually really good.
Hicks and Carlin were comedy gods but there has been nothing stateside since
just sayin
Well said, America needs to realise that for a tiny country compared to them, we pack a hell of a punch. We spend less on Healthcare and have a better life expectancy than the US and ours is decent - we also get benefits from Europe as we get new mobile phones etc. first. Britain was popular from the start of the Empire and still is up until this day. AMERICANS need to realise that we have the Commonwealth which together have over a billion people in it and whoops America's ass, as they would say it, one hundred times over.
I'm proud to be British.
1.No actually you didn't, America was already occupied.
2.Whoa, you have free healthcare at lower standards.
3.God forbid our country actually take responsibility into mind.
4.Uh, how does this prove your country is better?
5.Your beaches are beautiful? Sorry I'd take Miami beach over some beach in England any day.
6.If you're going to try and make a statement at the least be able to properly spell "delicious". You're not that far behind in "fat" either.
7.You have the most violent country and Europe, but you want to talk about us? Oxymoron much?
8.We invented films, and we make the most money from mass media which includes films. If our films suck we do a good job at it seeing as our directors are pulling in more cash then yours are.
9.Once again, they make more money and they're the ones getting the jobs. Doesn't say much for you other then back up what I've already said about you, oxymoron.
10.I actually laughed, theres a statistic on Wiki showing British women as the easiest in the world.
11.You actually didn't win anything. You had your own country bombed for years and did nothing but sit back and take it, and France was overrun, great job "saving" them. Churchill was a joke.
12.I don't see what you're proud of, don't do much smiling since you're know for having the worst smiles in the world.
13.Everyone hates crying British men, what's your point?
I just have to say though you're entire comment felt like a 12 year old's interpretation of his or her country. I laughed while proving you wrong, and I hope you feel like a complete dumb ass.
For a start american education is two years behind brittish eductation, finishing high school in america is equivilant to 5 gcses at c or above which even a retard can get and americans finish at 18. Plus who are americans to talk about us driving on the wrong side of the road, who had roads first you dumb asses. Also are special forces are twice as good as your fat lazy slobs you call the navy seals.Also where did this rumour of Brittish people having bad teeth its a load of shit but america are statistically the fattest country in the world and what retard actually thinks London got invaded by the nazis, they didnt even touch brittish soil and some other stupid yank thought the french invaded in 1066 seriously go back to school you uneducatated fat Fucks.
The insult to us British for having bad teeth comes from when we suffered from scurvy on board our ships. However we solved this problem ourselves as we found that citrus fruits (especialy the lime) helped to prevent this therefore curing our problem of bad teeth. So, this insult is dated to about 400 years ago in the 1600's
As for Americans being fat, that dates back from when they had a great idea called fast food. Well fucking done America.
I have found two people so far (both American) who don't know the meaning of "Oxymoron". You seem to think Oxymoron means "Hypocritical".
Just to educate you: An oxymoron is a figure of speech, which has two contradicting words. For example: deafening silence, or dark light.
Well being English I would happily kick the fuck out of any american and laugh my head off at the same time.
99% of the world would join me too.
Oh ye and you also speak English.
British English? no. But yes we do speak it there's a difference buddy. American English there is a difference
No there isnt ! ALL of your words we understand . even the slang ones for two languages to be dufferent that have the same origin it takes much longer than 230 years
The only difference between English English as I call it and US English are a lot of phonetic incursions like nite instead of Night and even Americans rarely use that spelling anymore.
All the rest are just different words for describig the same things like pavement = sidewalk, etc etc
1/. Yes it populated by savage backward Indians
2/. NHS Healthcare Free and its standard is better than most Americans can afford i.e.: ALL Britain’s get the same high standard of care no matter if they are rich or poor , people have had heart transplants every year in this country and the first to have them are still alive after 30 years.
Most Americans are bankrupted by medical bills 40% of all insolvency cases in the US are as a result of medical bills.
3/ your comment makes no sense try my lingo "English”
4/. Britain is better because we founded your country , founding fathers were all Englishman, your law is based on English common Law you use are old imperial measurements , you know feet and inches you even measure heat in BTUs British Thermal Units. we invented everything in the modern world from the steam engine to the computer, television, radio, radar, railways, Jet Engine , Hovercraft, 1st pocket calculator, medical : William Harvey Blood groups, cure for cholera , penicillin and dozens of other drugs and cures including the cure for small pox, the industrial revolution, the first TRUE democracy in the world ( No it wasn’t you) John Adam your founding father copied the English model calling the most enlightened form of government in the history of the human race . There is much much more and when you get a proper education you will know this and won’t need me to tell you.
5/ I agree
6/. While being correct , it’s a bit desperate listing it as it’s only the poor guys typo
7/. I have no idea where you get that idea from most Americans I know having posted to this country by their companies end up moving here because of the low crime rate and the total absence of small arms.
8/. You did not invent films the French did and while your film industry is the biggest in the world it is not recognise as being the best 80% of all Hollywood films are rehashed rubbish romcoms with the same message as are the gung ho America won the war all on its own bullshit that most Americans believe. like U571 about a US destroyer that captured the German enigma code machine when actually it was a British Royal Navy frigate, this sort of revisionist history is all too often in your movies usually at the expense of the British because you are insecure about your history.
Also the most successful films usually have a British director this has been the case since Hitchcock though to Ridley Scott remember Alien and gladiator, Robin Hood. 45% of Hollywood directors are British.
9/ and 10. Well possible 10. Really I thought American girls were easy at least all the ones I met are or perhaps they just love my limey accent?
10. well actually we won the battle of Britain and France fell because it government its government decided to sue for peace against Churchill’s advice which is why the British army was the only army fighting the Germans all the French had capitulated, well not all some that is 250,000 we saved from Hitler at Dunkirk, after which we bombed Berlin at the same time as the Germans were bombing London , also we kicked the Italians out of North Africa and the Germans were defeated by British General Montgomery and our 8th Army of which my father was a part ALL without one single GI from the USA anywhere to be seen you were too busy waiting for pearl harbour at the start and getting yourself defeated at the mesa line pass on your army’s first action against the Germans in North Africa,
So I don’t call that sitting on our butts.
12/. well looking at Britain’s history I find it almost impossible not to be proud of this country, we invented every important thing that shaped the modern world , every sport from football to tennis was invented here.
We discovered two new countries Australia and New Zealand and ruled over 1/4 of the rest of them for 150 years.
in fact looking at our history in every dept of human achievement we have invented and developed more things than all the other countries put together over the last 500 years , the only thing I’m not proud of is allowing the American Revolution to happen, most Americans or more correctly English colonist did not want it, most just wanted their rights as free born Englishman if fact if history had been just a bit different your country would never have come into being as an independent nation and looking at its history up to now I can see nothing that your nation has done either past or since that wouldn’t have been done if America had remained within the British empire, sorry but i have researched this for years and that’s my conclusion!
i agree.we done all those all those things and we're small.America should get more involved and help out.Britain is the bomb.
You didn't discover America.... moron!
Free healthcare doesn't work... duurrrr
Your country is better because of the drinking age? um ok?
London Bridge? Shut the fuck up
You don't have shit for beaches. Get real
Oh shockingly you bring up food. Oh geez what a shock you twat. Yea there's nobody fat where you live is there? Everyone works out and stays away from fast food huh? Shut the fuck up retard. Come on over once and run your mouth. You want a fat lip? Fat fatty fat!
Crime? Our police cars are so much better and we keep up with the bad guys that try to get away. Fuck off idiot
Actresses? Who gives a shit?
What the fuck is trampy? We have the dollar... enough said!
HA! Declare war on America. You'd get your ass kicked!
And I'm sick of this. Just shut up moron!
How does Free Healthcare not work you complete fucktard? Obviously you've got medical coverage in the US but you pay for it out of your own money.
In the UK, we pay for it out of general taxation and 60 million people are covered. Even the homeless. If Free Healthcare didn't work, the UK wouldn't be occupied. We'd all be dead or dying out.
Yes, American medicine is very good but it isn't available to everyone. In the UK, you get very good care and aren't judged off your credit report or income. We have one system and everyone uses it, that shows that the NHS works just fine.
Oxymoron means 'bitter sweet' 'pretty ugly'. It is not CONTRADICTION! That shows Americans don't really understand the English language
you shut up and you have no right to make rude comments and write article about britain. so fuck off.
u also have fuck all to be proud about other than independence, vietnam, fucked up, iraq fucked up cold war fucked up world war 1 and 2 last minute, stop copying england sas is the only real delta force and sbs the only real navy seals the english language belongs to us your state used to belong to a tribe, id have south end over miami any day free health care is everyone treated equally and a chance for poor people to be at the same chance as the rich and it's rubbish not garbage and nursery not kindergarten and pavement not sidewalk
guess what homie america is different.we have soccer to but we dont call it foot ball then we have football which is an entirely different sport.look up your info better next time.also if im not mistaken some bars in europe have american "football" on their television and europeans watch it too.
We know america is different, because you cant speak English properly, at least have the decency if you are going to speak our language to speak it right. Football was the original name for what you call 'soccer', you call a sport foot ball where the ball has hardly any contact with the foot, your american football is based of British rugby which was show to the American army by the British army in the 1900's were it took off. So American football isnt shown in bars in Europe, it's whats called Rugby, shit an American has never invented a sport, for god sake basketball was invented by a canadian! SO LOOK UP YOUR INFO BETTER NEXT TIME, ranting off about shit that you havent even researched, just what you THINK you know and try and turn it into fact, typical yank.
I actually had a great laugh reading your comment. I think it's great you have the nerve criticize someone on the use of English while having the grammar skills of a 5 year old child...No, that'd be an insult to my 5 year old niece who I might add is in her first year of school and already surpasses you in the art of proper English grammar. If I was you I'd just leave, you've already made your people look bad enough.
hardly any one of the internet users speak with grammar because most of them use slangany ways so who really gives a shit about grammar?
stuck up american snobs who think their better than every one else, thats who! and guess what China a second world country is taking over your ass in power so STFU!
I agree. I hate American Football. I hate that it is an icon of our "culture", but then, I play tennis. And REAL football (according to 90% of the world). Of course can someone please acknowledge that really, the heterogenous nature of thee United States is really like we are 15 or more completely different countries. I mean, the demographics are different in every city. My city of anchorage has 3 McDonalds for 400,000 of us andover 200 coffee and Tea shops. Los Angeles has a lot more mcdonalds and fewer coffee shops. I like Coffee. I'm not fat. We have fat people, and I think fat people should be spay/neutered so no one can argue that genetics make them fat. Besides, in the current age of communications, there are very few barriers actually differentiating any of our countries. I mean, when I visited Amsterdam, it was a lot like visiting another large city in the US. except there was a McDonalds in the Amsterdam Airport. Why exactly do we have to have such a huge flame war?
Your language? we're not speaking it right?? funny how you say such a thing when you Brits came to America Became American and changed the shit not my fault it's yours don't be hatin because The British made a mistake their's a difference buddy one British accent sound weird what kinda American would wanna sound like that british accents sound annoying and Uneducated. Beleive it or not Texas has one of the most best school systems in the United States it's obvious because maybe you're not british? typical.
Uk Rule USA and then you cut us down and became one.
UK Better because we finish school when we are 16.
But I like USA school because they dont have to wear a uniform and you get to learn how to drive in school but UK dont we have to pay.
UK got lots of history for example the slavetrade. that were it started, then it went to the US.
USA have more celebs than UK.
USA more places to go EXAMPLE Hollywood CA, Los Angeles and New York City.
And we do Watch american football and Soccer. American football is popular in US And lots of people go and watch it and in the UK football (soccer) is popular and lots of people go and watch it .
You think it's good for schools to not have uniform? We in England only have uniform to prevent bullying in schools. You see, we don't like it when the more privelleged children look down at the less privellged children. But, you'll find as you mature into college and so on you can wear no uniform.
It's also shown that English schools are better than American. Also, why would you want people in school to learn how to drive for free? Yes driving is quite essential but we don't exactly want to increase global warming by giving everyone the optional to pollute the world.
Another point: American sports originate from British sports. Football and rugby: Soccer (As you like to call it) and American Football.
get an education the slave trade as you call it was not started in britain the african nations were trading along the west coast of africa with arab traders at least a thousand years before britain got involved.it was the african tribal leaders themselves who sold their own people quite freely for profit.
Those bars only have it on to please the American tourest who does not understand the consept of a real full contact sport such as rugby. Rugby is world wide and the players dont pad themselves up like the pussies that are american footballers.
Guess what gangsta... We brits understand your football and soccer issues but decided that we had it correct all along. LOL.
No your not mistaken, it is true that very few people watch american football outside of america.
Football I.E uefa champions league, can be found easily all over the world
fukin stupid retarded yankey cunts get ya guns owt coz we cant fight toe to toe priks!, (oooooo nayparm lets kill lowds ov alies) haha , us english wud fukin murk u pussyholes!! haa
guess what dipshit, you guys are fighting in the middle east too. o ya, and ummm, we have soccer... and football!!! O ya and need i point out square mileage of the countries. and england smells like shit.
You're right on one thing though, Ignorance is hilarious.
are you saying you've come to england once TO SMELL it, you freak. i can assure you it smells a lot better than fat yanks sweating all the time
name a place that smells shit, ill tell u one the baseball pitch in the red sox or any other stupid name u call em
I wonder when america will finally give their children an education? First things first having invented the car in england and therefore being the first country to use it on roads, we do in fact drive on the the correct side of the road, america did absoloutly nothing in world war one or two, put in very little resources, made us pay for all the equipment they supposedly gifted to us, and everyone now thinks that saving private ryan is 100%, and it is indeed based on a true story, of british royal marines commando's however, no american involvement. Seeings as football was invented in england it is not called 'soccer', and the terrible game you call american football is just a cowards version of rugby. If americans would use their tiny brains they would realise we didn't lose america, we pulled out, even though we could have retaken all that we had lost if we wanted to, with the 275'000 troops we had in Canada that is. I think it's funny how america thinks it's a super power even though they have a terrible millitary, small, ill trained and ill equiped, the russian's, australian's, scottish, english, welsh, french, german, austrian, polish, chinese, japanese, and indian all much surpassing them in millitary terms, every country in the world surppassing them in intellegence terms, and they havn't invented anything, thinks everyone loves them when iv'e never met anyone non-american in all my life whom hasn't hated america with a passion, hates communism for no good reason when it is a very good political system, and make's people pay for medical treatment, what is up with that? their version of the english language is utter crap, missing u's constantly and spelling phenetically.
the car is a german invention, the americans came in on both wars when we were starting to lose, the american military is well equiped and trigger happy, americans dont care if anyone likes them, communism fails as resources would run out much quicker, america treats people with or without health insurance and the insurance only lets them stay in hospital to recover, all of this making you the retard as much as the guy who posted this in the first place.
thank u give them a lesson on the industrial revolouton to this yankee prick long live the queen and fucking kill barrack obahma i mean americans have even tried to kill their leaders because they are shit eg kennedy raegen ect
And what you dont think our Government had anything to do with Diana's death!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you insane communism a very good poilitcal system where have you been locked in a cupboard for the last 70 years most people in Britain would not even remotly agree with you except som,e loony elements of the far left Labour party
If you like communism so much try living under it say in china, North Korea or Vietnam
well if you want to pick on us english then ill fucking pick on you americans.your the fatest nation in the world.your movies are fucking shit now and have been for the last 5 years all remakes.your trying to tell countrys what to do but it aint fucking working.and your all aragant...........
haha this was quite funny although the alcohol consumption thing WAS outrageous - Europe is ridiculous:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption
26 of the top 32 countries are in europe. USA comes in at 33, UK at 8
Yo fuck you the whole middle east situation is England's fault in the first place and actually so is world war II you fucking pricks fucked up twice and now everyone has to deal with your fucking problems.
fucked up 3 times actually, the 1st time was when we let you smelly bible faced Yankee shit farmers get the French to fight your war of independence and then steeping in at the end and claiming the credit .
IE: NO French NO independence NO USA
ever since then you have been doing the same thing over and over , in the 1st world war you fought two battles and got whipped by the Germans who were on the verge of defeat in a silly side show group of hills that didn’t need to be taken as they were of no strategic importance, the British empire forces including the very BRAVE and very MODEST Canadians made the last offensive which finally cracked the Germans and shelled them to the surrender table
Yet after it was done you yanks strutted around like peacocks saying you won the whole thing with that idiot Pershing
Same thing in the 2nd world war Monty the British general beat the crap out of the Germans under Rommel you yanks in your 1st action of the war (1942 not 1941) got your butts kicked by the same Rommel at the cassilene pass ( no one in Hollywood has made a film about that one yet) the Russians beat the Germans into berlin the British bomber command under sir Arthur Harris bombed them back to the stone age while your daylight raids got shot down in the hundreds .
After again you claimed you won it all on your own even conveniently forgetting the Japanese campaign when the British shindits and the Australians and new Zealand armies defeating the Japs in Malaya for you and Burma and most of mainland china with the help of the Chinese National army,
You lot were making a fuss about taking a few volcanic islands when all you had to do was blockade them and stave the buggers out.
But no heh ho we yanks won the war on our lonesome lol
But what happened when you got involved in a war all on your own with no allies at all
Answer you Lost LOST
Vietnam, Cuba, Somalia
After those you must of learnt something because every American government since will NOT go to any war without first getting either the Brits or a few other mugs to do all the hard work so you can walk in and claim all the credit if you win anything its always as a result of a massive surge of forces in order to outnumber the enemy by about sixty to one this is why your army is made up of thousands of birdbrained conscripts the training bill for a smaller highly trained professional force is too much for your fat arse Mc D munching tax payers and you probably wouldn’t know how to train them anyway seeing as your silly seals and delta force were original trained and formed by Britain’s SAS.
You Yanks are a Nation formed of traitors who wait in any war to see who they can con into going along with them to do the fighting and then steal the laurels after its all over , just like you did with the French in 1781 at Yorktown
You haven’t changed one little bit since
I sincerely regret your lack of understanding of human history and American history. Britain at the turn of the 20th century, ruled a quatre of the Worlds surface.
Oh and why does america speak English? Because we owned America, longer than independent America has ruled it for itself.
be careful and before you comment on on other reasons that america is better than England, Go back to less biased history books.
Rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves!
(This is a reply to the author)
You're wrong.How can you say 'We drive on the wrong side of the road'?Just because we're different dosen't mean we're wrong.Oh, and Germany never invaded England.Where did you get that from?And 'America has never been invaded.Ever' is a pile of crap.WE occupied America, dumbass!Even though we eventually lost it, there is no reason for you to lie.GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!
As we all expect from the Americans, Jingoistic twaddle.
Football is the largest sport in the world and does not involve crash helmets, body Armour and stopping every ten seconds for a breather, American football, as it is called is more like Rugby for GIRLS. Same as Baseball, We call it rounders and it is a GIRLS game. And does one have a so called WORLD SERIES, only American arrogance would consider America is THE WORLD.
Now for some EDUCATION. Driving on the left has It's roots deep within the History of England, Something you lack. Swords are mainly held in the right hand so in days of old when traveling on horseback or foot on an English road you permitted oncoming traffic to pass on your right so you were able to defend yourself if needed.
I find this funny for one simple reason, most historians will tell you, it was not an American rebellion it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Rebellion. In other words, the American Revolutionary war was won by Scots that fought for your country.
Most powerful? Your country has ended up billions in debt, ruled by bankers, it's lead into a false sense of security, a false sense of being rich when it really isn't. Your $ is going down the toilet just like the £ is. That's hardly something to shout from the roof tops about.
I love America and American people for that matter. What I do not like is arrogance and ignorance to your own history. You talk about being most powerful, look up Robert Burns and a song called 'Ye Jacobites By Name', you'll soon learn things aren't about waving guns about and waging war, it's about peace and unity. There are other ways of solving issues and waging war is not one of them.
Another thing you say about us having bad teeth, hold on a second here, you live in America, a country with high fluroid content in your water, it becomes of no surprise why that's the case. Scotland has the cleanest water in the world, because of the Baltic Sea, but you know what, we have a far lower content of fluroid in our water, that's one of the main reasons why. Plus the fact, we Scots do not concern ourselves over looks the way Americans do. Appearance is just an image.
Read Robert Burns poem / song, one of the most influential songs ever written, 'A man's a man for a' that' the verse stating these exact words
'what though on hamely (homely) fare we dine, wear hoddin' grey and a' that (wear course gray woolen and all that) gie (give) fools their silks and knaves their wine, a man's a man for a' that, For a' that and a' that, their tinsels show and a' that, the honest man though e'er (ever) so poor, is king of men for a' that.
Let me translate this for you, Robert Burns was saying that like tinsel, it is just a show, you can wear all the fancy rich clothes all you want, it is not the true measure of a man's true character, which is exactly the problem with your young and learning nation, all about materialism, and fools like you that think it is about appearance. Appearance is not the true measure of a persons true worth, and this is exactly what Robert Burns was saying.
Perhaps you may want to read more of his work and learn why he was one of the most influential people that ever lived, why he is the Greatest Scot that ever lived, even over the likes of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. You live in a young and learning nation, this proves it by thinking everything is about getting the toy guns out and diving right head first into war. It also proves it with the likes of you who think things are about appearance. Only fools think like that. If you want to judge a person, judge them by who they are, their character.
Now am not sure who I've quoted or if it's the right person, but this is to the person that posted this rather ignorant, funny blog.
Of course, the difference with the US and yogart (sorry, yo-gart) is that, if you leave yo-gart alone for over 200 years it will develop its own culture.
Ok, I want to comment on this writing. You said bloody so many times I would think you are British. I am an American, and proud of it, but this writing is BS. One, if you are going to make a point try not to sound so offensive, now both Americans and Brits hate you now. Congratulations. World War II? Realize we followed an isolationist policy for most of it, so we never really did much. I mean, England fended of Adolf Hitler for such a long time, it was incredible how they could hold up against one of the strongest military forces this world has seen. We joined cause we got pissed for people bombing us. No one invaded our land because we were truly to far away. Also, the British had London occupied. First time, whoo, out of how many years? Did they not have an empire? And pioneer in navigation and science? You are a disgrace to the American culture.
America has NEVER won a war on its own. Im not even giving you 1776 that was the Brits winning a war with ourselves. I love America and Americans. Your crazy and fucked up and make me feel so superior. Even though i do have really bad teeth
Now that was kind of funny. Not hilarious yet, but you made me chuckle here and there. Nice going.
iys is a self-righteous prick who has no idea what hes talking about and likes to bring up the iraq war to make himself seem cool and political
USA rocks
and if u dont like our country get out of it
1. You're welcome to Posh Becks, we frankly don't want her, she fits in better with you lot anyway.
2. See our football actually involves kicking a ball. with your foot. hence <i>foot</i>ball. an irony that Americans still havent figured out yet.
3. which leads me nicely onto... irony, we have it, you don't.
4. America was taken over. by us brits, thats why you needed independence. without our all-encompassing greed for an empire, you wouldn't have your all-encompassing greed for an empire.
5. Bible nuts, Hillbillys, Trailer Trash and Gangstas is there an American steryotype that isn't bad?
6. And heres the real kick in the nuts: we prefer Canada anyway!
man that was a good comeback its good to see some people sticking up for our nation
Tut-tut-tut. You should be ashamed of yourselves. For a start, you don't have free healthcare, and the only way you get things done is by shooting people.
And I could list a million more, but I haven't got all night here. So, FACT: America isn't better than England. And I'm born and brought up proud English!!! :))))
Your health care isn't free. Everybody pays tons of taxes for it.
Plus, it is shit compared to America's.
Get a brain cell dip shit - yes we pay for ours through General Taxation but that means Sixty Million People can walk into a hospital with the most minute problem and not have to worry about being turned away. The NHS also protects the UK - HIV drugs cost little less that £7.00 which is around $14 to you.
Your healthcare sucks anyway because you have a lower life expectancy than us by about three years.
Also, at least we don't have to fuck about with adding on the Sales Tax, we have VAT and we make it easier by adding it into the amount so what you see on the label is what you actually have to pay.
Get an education you dip shit and actually visit a common British Hospital and you'll be amazed at what you see!
lmfao, our health cares shit? Yer, thats why we have too many doctors and nurses. Thats why America is recruiting Doctors from the UK, thats why numerous American students come to the UK to study medicine and other various courses, get a hold of yourself you self-rightous idiot. And yes, the UK is the most taxed country in the world, due to the fact our country has a high demand due to not ever being able to fully adjust from having the the largest empire this planet has ever seen, from starting NEW civilisations and countries, and unfortuantely you Americans. And no it's not shit compared to Americas, seeing we have a higher life expectancy than than Americans (i think its due to guns being legal, idiots...). If someone is dyeing in the street the doctors would just leave them there to die if they havent got insurance and have no way to pay. Look at new orleans for god sake, your government left them to sqander with no health care when they were hit by the Hurricane, they didnt even help them one bit apart from sending a few food cans. Yep, some health system you have. well then again as I previous stated in a post, Americans have no Human rights, so what do you expect.
I can't take anything as fact from a guy who can't spell "Civilizations". Just as a refresh you spelt it as "Civilisations". You're an idiot.
It is spelt Civilisations in the english language you idiot. you americans pointlessly changed it to Civilizations
Actually, 'civilization' is an Americanism. 'Civilisation' is correct English. Comes from civil, which conjugates into civilise(/civilize) and then conjugated again into a noun. American English uses 'Z's in many places England does not.
no it isn't shit compared to your country you shithole. you are like nothing compared to our country so go away and find something else to do.
well it cant be that good because you have the highest death rate in heart disease which has something to do with obesity the perfect and proven stereotype for americans and the most painful thing im going to tell u is that the world prefers canada and mexico to usa
sure we elected bush president, but the election was rigged, (and were not stupid it was so obvious, i remember making fun of him in 1st grade haha) healthcare is expensive as hell, but thats cause the companies keep bribing, obesity i cannot explain, im underweight, and so on but hey, at least child pornography is illegal, and we have racial diversity, and we solve problems instead of sitting around sipping tea, with big monocles, and tophats, murmuring indeed. okay, i lied, we do that... WHEN WERE MAKING FUN OF YOU.
bloody brits
hahaha child porn is clearly illegal in britian you fuckin idiot what the fuck!!! and the teeth thing is sooo old free dental till your 18 then cheap as hell from there, our teeth are fine mate. tea? i hate tea most of us do over here you really need to brighten up. watch ya weight ;)
Speak for yourself mate, I LOVE tea, it's delicious!!
Why is everyone arguing anyway, this blog is utterly stupid. I couldn't care aless about a persons nationality, it's their personality and morals that count. There is just as high percentage of dickheads in the UK as there are in the USA, and probably the same percentage of nice people. Lets all just be friends!
I live in Britain and i hate it. but richard, what you said totally kicked ass!
Well I like England, and I'm an American. And I also am not proud of our rednecks, bible nuts, or gangsters. But I'm still young enough to have hope that we can patch these stereotypes and relationships between the US and the world (including that which we lost with the English people, even if not with the government) will improve. And for the record, tea blows coffee out of the water any day.
oi, Richard, you dim witted cunt.
1. what the fuck is this posh thing, and why do brits make a big deal of it?
2. i'll give you the soccer thing, it is more popular and does involve more kicking, but any ass who's ever watched a game of american football knows that the ball does get kicked around a tad. not to mention it's shaped all weird, kicking a perfect circle is easy, try kicking an oblong piece of hog skin, yeah, not so easy ass
3. no irony? i don't even have to defend that
4. at no time was america taken over by the brits, since becoming its own country, no one has successfully conquered this country. america was founded by the brits and then one day we said, enough fucking tea, get the fuck out, and the brits promptly complied.
5. you just named everyone in the south, guess what, the south wanted to go off and do its own thing, mostly people were fine with that, keeping those people around was lincoln's idea. i didnt vote for him and no one else alive today did either, so cut us some slack, we had no say in it
6. then go to canada and freeze, dont come here and give us shit...oh wait, but you're here anyway, and why is that? oh yeeaaahh...BECAUSE AMERICA IS BETTER. totally forgot for a moment there
I know this is a couple of years late, but I'd like to point out the measurement system you use mostly for weight, length and such is more or less a derivative of British Imperial Measurement, used by Britain until the 70's with the exception of a few things like the dollar of course.
If you didn't have the French fighting your back, you would be like Canada, a part of the Commonwealth - and actually watch some Rugby. That is a sport, none of this pansy arse padding, they play with just kit on and they too kick a ball which your ball in the game is based on.
Come on, you can't exactly win against a Brit, we're intelligent, we actually know where Canada as most of the other places in the world. Your comedy is mediocre at least - slapstick - which is what we were doing in the '50's and in fifty years time, you'll know what Satirical Comedy is!
Yet you say America is the greatest - look at whose language you're using and which you defecated all over.
we're not posh at all,you retard.
come over and see for yourself.
We have lots of trash though we're proud of it.
I live in Scotland so I know what it's like.
We did stay in Canada and I would say it paid off. They aren't a bunch of snobbish cunts like you are.
Americans are funny people. If someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger can be elected as the govenor of an entire state, or someone like George W Bush can be elected President in America, I think I feel safer here in England.
Rule Britannia!
I await very well thought out responses
If Oliver Cromwell can run amock and commit ethnic cleansing, then its safer in America.
Return Northern Ireland to Ireland you tyrant.
again, that whole bush thing was due to a bunch of hicks (in the south, which we dont want), and bible thumpers (which we all hate) and hey, Schwarzenegger's not that bad. people from out of state give us californians shit about him, but he replaced gray davis, and compared to him, the governator isnt doing half bad. i mean, davis was what?... only the second california governor to be recalled EVER, i mean, the man sucked at his job, at least old arnold is doing well enough that we dont want to kick him out of office. it's not perfect, but we'll take it
Dear billy,
I am a woman, not a man. I love the US of A. I have actually lived in both the US & England, so I do know a little bit at least about this topic.
I just don't understand why everyone has to be so close minded about shit. It's the ignorant Americans that have earned us such a bad reputation abroad. The US is great! England is great! Apples & oranges are both delicious and nutritious, just different.
Just so all of you know. Our country's name is BRITAIN. England is only part of Britain. Go to school and learn Geography. Maybe it would help if half of you didn't get off school from End of May to September.
I've never seen so many responses to one of my articles so quick.
Lys - I am a hypocrite. Majority rules only applies whenever it fits my personal needs or opinions. Keep that in mind next time you decide to slander me across the internet. Did you ever stop to think that maybe I'm not the one who is close minded, that maybe the rest of the entire world is? The only two things you said that made any sense whatsoever where that apples and oranges are indeed delicious, and that the US is great. Thanks for almost nothing.
Richard - There is no irony in either football or soccer. The United States has NEVER been taken over. Sign up for a world history class or two. Actually, don't even bother, just take my word for it. Actually, there is an American stereotype that isn't bad. It's the PIC Writer stereotype that we're all smarter, better looking, and bang more woman than you. Oh wait, that's not a stereotype, that's a fact.
Nick - If you feel safer in England, stay there. Please.
Lastly - If you read this article and were offended, or are offended by any of my responses here in the comment box, lighten the fuck up, you're on a comedy site.
oh shit, we ARE on a comedy site! But then....y are you...
NOT FUNNY.
FAIL
u have the KKK, obesity (better looking? if you say so...), a lower rate of literate people than Kazakhstan (therefore NOT SMARTER THAN US-are you fucking joking about that, your retard?). Oh, and we dont mind that you may "bang more chicks" than us. You can have ur fat, dumb, redneck "chicks". I think we'll do just fine with girls that don't need to hold up layers of blubber to see there vaginas.
yeah we may have alot of obese people but look it up your country is catching up.we actuallu do have some of the most attractive people in the world.alot of english people have weird funny features and the only reason you guys are remotely attractive is cause of your accent.
Ha ha, you serious? I've been to America and I've never felt more attractive. Granted (some) women in Miami and LA are good looking, but isn't there a cosmetic surgery around every corner there?
I would also like to point out that a large percentage of Americans have British decendants ( which means that you probably look quite similar to us).
50 good looking people out of such a large population ain't nothing to brag about.
Furthermore I would like to add that we are not 'posh' or 'snobs' in the UK we are just better mannered and speak proper English.
J.B. Hour- America is the embarasment of the human race it is even to this day in the 21st century a VERY racist country for example, hurricane katrina- all the white people left the area and rebuilt there lives, however the black people who probably dont earn as much because nobody gives a fuck about them were left there to rot. You all drive around in big stupid uneconomical (thats means costs alot of money, incase you didnt know because your all thick) cars which do at most a few miles to the galleon. Everything is given to you on a silver plater (that means plate). And you even understand the concept of luxury you think it means BIG!!!. I rest my case.
you're an idiot. literally and completely. last checked, poor black people are equipped with real genuine legs just like poor white people. you only say that because you read in a worthless tabloid that kanye west said that, and you believed it. wow- what a thinker you are!
they don't earn as much for factual reasons only. they didn't go to college, or they're just lazy. 'for example', there's plenty more back people milking our welfare. they earn as much as any lazy uneducated white man. YOU my friend, are the true racist here.
embarrassment of the human race? how about the mexicans that can't rub two sticks together? how about the killing spree germans? how about the completely fucked middle east? your shitty english teeth sure haven't solved anything. all generalizations of coarse.
nothing has ever been handed to me nor my family on a silver platter. it certainly has been for obama- ya know the BLACK guy. my father breaks his back working only to never get ahead, just as his father.
i rest MY case you piece of shit.
you better shut the fuck up mate and you have no right to offend britain by making a retarded article. i think it sucks you know.
i agree with everything lys said in her second comment. except about england being great.
GET THE BRITS OUT OF IRELAND!
The Brits aren't bloody well in Ireland! It's Northern Ireland! And the majority of the population want British rule.
That was indeed a well thought out response, I wasn't disappointed. And I shall stay in England, its much nicer here :D
Not bad, had a chuckle or two, but their's a couple glaring historical inaccuracies:
1. England was never invaded in WWII. They got the shit bombed out of them, but the Germans never set foot on British soil, in mass, and never took London.
2. The US has been invaded. During the War of 1812 (1814 to be specific), us Canucks came down, burnt up the White House, and left when we ran out of beer.
just to put the record straight America has been invaded and is still occuppied by European rejects who murdered there way accross a contenant by infecting the people with smallpox contaminated blankets so instead of fighting warrior to warrior the murdered women and children who could not fight back
that from a people who think they are enlightened and civilized and still donot recognise the people that they deported and broke all agreements that were entered into in good faith and still have no rights
just wait for the next war in america the one between china and japan to see who gets the best parts and the european rejects get a taste of thier own medicine
REVOLUTION IS A BITCH WHO ALLWAYS COMES BACK TO BITE YOU ON THE ASS
so enjoy the wait
Sorry don't really think you can so the whole "oh you attacked unarmed civilians, you pussy". Ever heard of a country called iraq? Ever heard of the tonnes of bombs you americans drop every single day? Ever hear about the thousands of innocent civilians you've killed?
LOL 'oh noes they killed innowcent civilians they is evil' sorry to break it to you but war is evil. plus you seem to be forgetting that it was AMERICA who dropped the first atomic bomb and do you think that it only killed soldiers? no it killed civies to
Everybody (ESPECIALLY GEORGE) Relax. Take a deep breath. And exhale. Quit ranting about how the United States murdered people by infecting them with plagues, or trying to correct slight historical inaccuracies within the article. I'm not trying to debate you politically on any topic such as the the moral or ethnic line early American settlers may have crossed or the current situation in Iraq and the American Governments lack of acknowledgment of responsibility for how things played out.
Just read the article and realized that I picked topics such as Posh Spice and the movie King Ralph as reasons why the United States is better than England. The fact that these are such irrelevant topics should be a tipoff that this is a comedy article written because it's funny to make fun of Elton John and who drives on which side of the road.
If you ARE from England and you got upset when you read this article, or you got so upset that you posted an angry comment, maybe that's a valid reason why the U.S. is better than England. Try not being so uptight, and realize that Posh Fucking Spice has NOTHING to do with anything, especially whether the United States will lose the next World War.
I discovered this your article very late but still feel in 2010 that it derserves a reply
I would say NONE of the responses are to your Article which is obviously a wind up except perhaps the first 4 or 5 the rest are responses to your undereducated arrogant bible faced American countrymen who are forced fed revised history to cover the fact that if the truth was taught accurately with regard to that history most so called europeon migrants( now Americans) and their offspring over the last 230 years would be ashamed of being American , founded by traitors to their own ethic roots and homeland, sided with its enemies, escaped and alluded responsibility for world affairs by leaving their former Motherland England and its empire to police the world, only stepping back in when that empire ended and their former homeland was exhausted by a terrible war with Germany which claimed the lives of most of her manhood and them claiming Victory TWICE.
You havent achieved anything or paid the price for any of your riches in the last 230 yrs , you simply stole plundered and purchased Britains technology and advanced science , waited for Britain to exhaust herself trying to control a world full of less enlightened peoples and nations then stepped in like some court jester when it was all nearly over and the Russians were well on the way to winning the war and claimed PAX Americana.
I'm English, and really can't see why people are getting so cunty. People really do need to realise that articles on this website aren't supposed to be taken seriously. Chill the fuck out.
Mick,
Thank You for being normal.
A couple of corrections in my last comment
Ethnic should be Ethical (although crossing "ethnic" lines can be fun, too.
Realized should be realize.
Dear George,
Why are you freaking the fuck out? Everyone else responded with a level head when compared to you. Lay off the juice. And there should be an editor for the comment box because of people like you. Take a course in grammar and then try playing with big kids over the internet. I seriously could not pick out one intelligible sentence from that whole stupid comment of yours. Stupid idiot.
I can only describe this article as brilliant. It has clearly achieved its goal; all credit to you.
Oh and if you pick sides you’re racist! It’s better to focus on individuals not the country as a whole. Next time explain to Todd (damn that’s a classic Brit name) why he a person sucks; it will hurt a lot more. Oh and PS: Nathan DeGhey or what ever if name is, sucks balls and is the only reason I would never visit your fair country.
x
If you pick sides your racist..... Right, you idiot the stupid dumb fat and ugly americans are pert of the same race as the amazing inteletual indivuals that are the GREAT Britons
everyone im welsh and this american chap is a complete dick head and if im honest im proud to be british i want to know what tripe each us state belonged to before we arrived
fucking fascist son of a bitch. I'm American. YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL, DUMBSHIT. You think your CUNTry is soooooo much better than everyone else, so why don't you join the fucking neo-nazis in Britain because there are plenty just like you.
Please don't let these lunatics in the comment box stop you from writing articles like this one in the future. I thought the article was great.
Ah, you Americans. So young.
It constantly amazes me that your country has been around for such a short time. Being English, I share in the collective consciousness of a nation which, at one point, ruled more of this planet than anyone else. But, being the kind, considerate nation builders that we are, we decided that it was time that you fledging countries stood on your own two feet. It was only a token effort to keep hold of America, 230 odd years ago, because - really - we had the rest of the world to rule over, so what was one more country? ;)
But, considering how young you are, I suppose you haven't done too badly. I mean, the college that I attended back in 1995 had it's 500th anniversary in that year. That makes it over 2x as old as your nation as it is now, and only a few years off of when Columbus arrived.
Anyway, must dash. Having supper at the Palace with Her Majesty, later. We all have to do it, once a year. It's a drag, but we try to keep a stiff upper lip.
Cheerio.
Tom,
Thank You for bragging. I guess when you get your ass kicked by the new guy, the easy excuse is "we really didn't care!" What happened to the rest of the world you ruled? How many England's can you fit in area that is the United States? I guess England wasn't really trying when it lost the rest of the territories it ruled, too? Right? :lol:
The only people on the face of this Earth who care about her "Majesty" is people living in England. It doesn't impress anybody outside your country. I'm going to visit my mom now, who by the way, has more of an influence in the U.S. than her "Majesty" does.
Have fun though, and make sure you email her a link to the article for me.
J. B Nut bag
Yes we had the biggest empire in the world
Yes there is no such thing as a true america you are all immigrants
Yes we still get payed massive royalties by all the countries we owned
Yes we have a better Education health care and Welfare system
Yes we did rule ya country
and yes we got lots of tea and yes we are very happy to be in england Hail Britainia The most powerful Influencal Country in the world
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAAA!!!!
I'm sorry, it's just that American talk amuses me so much!! xDDD
You actually believed him when he said that he was going to have supper with the Queen didn't you?? AHAHAHAHAAAAHAHA!! How stupid are you, seriously. And by the way, it's 'mum' not 'MOM' . God, when I say it, it even sounds weirder than it looks. MOM. MOM. How funny is that?? My friend from Los Angeles in America said elevator once and no one knew what the hell he was talking about. Then we sort of figured out he meant lift. xD
You know, I don't hate America. It's just their rude, swearing-in-every-sentence way that annoys me slightly. And of course the fact that you think we drink tea with the Queen everyday.
Maybe you're right. You don't care about us. But oh believe me, Britain doesn't care about you either. Most people here don't know who Obama is. And do you think Obama was on the front pages of British newspapers when he was elected? Oh by golly no. I watched this vid on Youtube and it made me laugh because an American came over to London to interview Londoners and see what they thought about the American elections. And most of them said, "Oh I don't know... I don't really give a damn to be honest!"
So just stop pretending to be the best of the world. Oh. And watch what you people eat. When I see an American I feel sick because I know they eat at McDonald's everyday.
Now cheerio for now mate.
Gotta hurry to Buckingham Palace to have supper with the Queen!!! Can't be late!! (Ahahahaa xD)
as i absolutely love england, i am still a very proud american (whom never eats mcdonalds) and i'm sorry but i must pull your bullshit card.
"""Most people here don't know who Obama is. And do you think Obama was on the front pages of British newspapers when he was elected? Oh by golly no."""
- are you kidding? you're lying through your teeth my friend!!!!
i was living in england during the election! obama's face was on the cover of EVERY paper when he was elected!!! i have about 10 of them to prove it!! you had Obama propaganda EVERYWHERE the months leading up to it! the morning he was elected my school cafe only served chocolate doughnuts!! as well as the cafes i passed on my way to school!! my fellow BRITISH classmates had MULTIPLE 'obama parties'- gathering to watch the debates together! everyone i know stayed up all night having 'obama parties' the night he was elected!!! i was so sick of obama! you all cared far more than america did!
you thinking we eat mcdonalds every day is just as ignorant as we thinking you have tea everyday. but if you guys can't stand mcdonalds so much why is there one on every corner?!
I think the fact the British cared more about Obama than the Americans says a lot more good than bad about them.
I'm neither, but I'm more often shocked by the sheer lack of culture in America than in the UK. I'm all for democracy, but democracy in politics isn't the same as cultural relativism and liberalism. The democratisation of culture, which sadly is led by pure monetary ambition, implies catering to the lowest common denominator, and that's what is shaping American culture today. Your artistic and economic elites are being nursed by the TV shows that cater to the most stupid of proletarians, instead of having it the other way around.
People complain about the TV Licence in the UK but without the BBC you would have culturally sunk as quickly as the US. The US 100 years ago wasn't bad at all.
hey guess what america invented the elevator aka the "lift" so your welcome. you guys knoe exactly who obama is he is the first black president in US history so he made major headlines all over the world. McDonald's.....if im not mistaken you have McDonald's all over england cause it is the biggest thriving restaurant in the world.
Are you stupid?
No one cares about the queen in england, (shes a tourist attraction) and actually the queen probably has more influence than you think. She can approve or disapprove our goverments so that usually would have a knock on effect to your country.
i think that these comments have proven that the majority of Americans and British people who have commented are racist.
I would call the USA our younger Brother who likes to run around crazily and get in trouble but has good intentions.

We don't really worry about the monarchy. If you care to take History GCSE rather than History 101...the UNITED KINGDOM didn't lose their territories. Us and France decolonised deliberately.
Downsizing usually happens when you becoming mature and mellow out.
You still speak our language; well you try. I think I hate you as much as Nathan.
ps I didnt read the article, i'm basing this on prejudice and blind judgement.
Cheers
Matt,
"ps I didnt read the article, i'm basing this on prejudice and blind judgement.'
FINALLY a Brit I can respect. As far as I'm concerened, this is the only way.
You're OK.
It annoys me when people, like the author of this article as well as many of the commenting public, rant and bitch about a nation based on one persons ignorance.
So you've got your independence, whoop de fuckin’ do, it is far from a utopian society is it not?
You’ve got poor healthcare, the highest rate of gun related killing of civilised western nations, and as Iys mentioned, there is the whole debarkle in Iraq, that your rather incompetent babbling fool of a president cant seem to solve.
Now all countries have some faults admittedly, but you would de well to start addressing your own before criticising others.
I've been drinking this evening, so I feel the urge to comment for the 300th time on the same subject.
Perry White (nice Supernamen reference, btw)
Relax, it's a fucking comedy site, you nit wit. Read the article. The entire thing focuses on irrelevant reasons that have nothing to do with anything that remotely resembles an actual valid, or otherwise pertinant point regarding legitiment reasons why one country would be better than another. If you want to debate me politicaly, please refrain from commenting, considering I have no interesent in getting into an argument regarding anything of substantial or relevant significance to the real world. This article serves as a point, rather poorly, that somebody can have a subjective opinion regarding something as stupid as the subjectivity of one country being better than another by picking arbitrary points referencing pop culture to ariculate a silly perspective on something equally as irrelevant. If you read the articles on this site and are offended, I feel a level of pity for you I've never felt for anybody else, ever. Please step back for a second and evaluate your own life for a second, and realize that a stupid article on an internet website can't possibly have a big enough effect on your actual life for you to be worked up this much.
In other words, get a life. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to watching "I Now Pronouce You Chuck and Larry", a fine creative piece of art from America.
Yours Truly,
J.B. Hour
if this article is humourous i believe it is a fine example of why British humour is better than American i can't believe you sat down and thought i know what let's write this, yeah everyone will find this funny.
I find it hilarious!!! I couldn't stop laughing and I knew immediately the premise of JB's intention in writing this masterful comedy - its parody that pushes buttons.
You fine Brits are too gullible to see through the writings but we forgive you.
I totally disagree with you regarding British humor. With the exception of the Monty Python group, Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel. British humor is as bland as their food.
American humor is funny as hell. Beats England's anytime.
The people who need an explanation are generally the ones who don’t deserve it. Remember that JBHour. TBH its funnier that they dont get it!
Im from England, so I can safely tell you that this Todd is an idiot. He seems to miss the main point of being English, which is, essentially, to hate being English, while at the same time being glad that we arent another nationality.
I personally hate England. I hate it so much, that I love being here, so I can carry on hating it. We find fault in everything that exists. I have no doubt that if I died, and somehow ended up in heaven, or valhalla, or whatever after-death paradise is popular this century, I would complain that there is no smoking area.
And by the way, I do have shit teeth, but only cos theyre a bit wonky. They still work, so I shouldnt complain.
But dammit, as an Englishman, I will.
Wow, intense and a little bit frightening.
I think I enjoyed the comments more then the article. If you can enrage people simply by typing, more power to ya.
Cant we all just get along?
The pen is mightier than the sword and All the Brits fell for it. Soooooo gullible.
I'm Australian.
I've been to England, I've been to the United States - England is clearly the better country. Hands down.
Well, this gave me a good fucking laugh. So thanks for that.
Can't say I agree with much of it, but....thank god for the 1st amendment
:+:
America is the biggest shithole i have ever been to, youre just a bunch of lazy fat asses you fat cunts. Dont you realise that none of the rest of the world plays your sports because there so shit.

MOTHERFUCKERS
I think there is a lot of stereotyping going on here. There are a few Americans who are good people, like Mother Theresa, The Beatles, and Ghandi.
PLEASE. Get educated THEN say that the Beatles are American (by the way they are British you snob).
Lol u thick twat Ghandi-Indian, Mother teresa-Albanian and finally The beatles were from liverpool, no not liverpool in america, liverpool in GREAT britain

8) U ARE ALL IDIOTS U FUCKING AMERICANS ALL U EVER DOIS TALK ABOUT SEX AND WATCH TV U F*** BASTARD
WTF happened? Did England just get the internet or something? This comment box just exploded over the past two weeks.
Oh yea, and Paul Frank is better than the entire country of England.
America gave the world the Beatles AND the Rolling Stones.
Actually england gave the beatles and the rolling stones.
but i still hate this country and i love america, who cares if like 25% of them are fat. there not the only country in the world that have fat people...
we have fat people btw and i dont blame some americans to be fat, the food there is great! anyway chill guys its just a comedy site.
oh and all you people commenting on this, guess what your either on a mac or a microsoft pc. and guess what, america made them.
im only 14 and i think im actually more mature than all of you.
who cares if america is a bit shitty in some places. most of it rocks! are country is admittedly alot shiter.
our pavements our just covered in chewing gum and litter.
actually it was a british person who invented the world wide web so technically the only reason your on this commenting your bullshit is because of us, you should feel thankful
1.) England gave the world the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. NOT AMERICA.
2.) I don't hate America, but I still think England is better for lots of reasons I just can't be arsed writing about.
3.) STOP STEREOTYPING EVERYONE!!!! JUST LIKE EACHOTHER FOR ONCE!!!
i'm sorry if this is ment to be funny then american comedy has a long way to go, or at least yours. or maybe its just me OR MAYBE THE FUCKING WORLD HATES YOU FOR SLANDERING OUR FUCKING AWESOME COUNTRY JUST COS' YOU THOURGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY YOU FUCKING NOB JOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!
england is so much better than the usa u all think you are so cool all u do is eat hamburgers and fat
here are some results of usa death rates
The bottom line
In the United States, death rates vary greatly with race and are particularly high in black and African-American men and women. In men this is mainly related to HIV and deaths caused by firearms
Directly standardised death rates in England and Wales are similar to those in the United States, but the variation with age group is different. In people under 65 the differences are largely accounted for by the higher US death rates from HIV and firearms
Comparisons of deaths rates by race are not possible in the United Kingdom because ethnicity is not recorded on the death certificate
We compared death rates directly standardised for age and sex in England and Wales with US death rates for 2001, using the US year 2000 population as our standard. US data were further analysed by race, sex, and diagnosis. The death rates for US white and black and African-American males and females were compared with those of England and Wales for each age group by calculating the ratio of US death rates to England and Wales death rates (fig 1).
View larger version (38K):
[in this window]
[in a new window]
Overall, standardised death rates for England and Wales were similar to the US rates, but there was considerable variation within the US data by race (fig 2). Death rates for white US males and females averaged 29% and 23% higher than those for England and Wales between ages 0 and 74, and were 9% and 6% lower for age groups 75 and over. The corresponding figures for US black and African-American men and women aged 0-74 were 130% and 115% respectively, and 0% for people aged 75 and over.
i prove my point usa are fucking massive
Lots of sound judgment from people who don't understand this is a joke.
JHT, I can make up facts too and I can spell. How's that for American public education?
Other good Americans: Princess Diana, and Jesus Christ (not the famous one).
Lol. Princess Diana's British not American. I swear. If you don't believe me then look it up.
Damn, they're onto us Americans. Our army of 'dickhead fat cunt black bastards' isn't a secret anymore.
Nah, great, article. Provided much entertainment as I sat there sipping coffee and working.
Can't we all just get along and stop being douche holes and generalizing entire nations? I blame tv, let's be angry at tv, all tv, british and american. Anyway, i wouldn't say i'm proud to be British and i certainly don't look down at America, but i am proud to be European. I love living in Europe. Course i'd rather live in the Netherlands or Germany, than England.
Christ what a crowd of morons
which is better neither both ur countries are shit
hey all u english pricks answer me this:
if america is so horrible why are u trying 2 b more like them?
mcdonalds?
buger king?
pizza hut?
ur most popular tv shows?
hip hop?
r&b?
modern "rock"?
clothing style?
movies?
and so much else i cant b arsed typing?
i dont agree with the article either but i laughed at it cos i was a fuking joke just like your country your government and your very english monarchy made up of inbred germans and greeks
I think you're all up your arses. I partically disliked the teeth part but oh well. I'm from England but I like America, I like comedys like Family Guy and the Simpsons. I don't like Victoria Beckham much either. Apart from that this whole thing is a pile of dogs bollocks and the language "English" is spoken in England in the UK not America. Your language is "American English" because you decided to mess around with words like taking the u out of colour and making some shit color?? Pricks. I'll be interested in your reply to this u queer. You don't know anything about England so shut the hell up. You have no life.
To Anonymous from England's comment on Americans modifying the English language and it not actually being English:
I don't recall "partically" being either an English or an American English word.
look i dont give a fuck about your stupid argument anymore, but stop making fun of gays motherfucker, shows just how mature you are!
You only have to read the quality of the content of this blog and the comebacks on it to come to the conclusion that both the US and England have a fair portion of ignorant, narrow minded, arrogant, xenophobic and deeply insecure overgrown children with as much insight and depth of thought as a baby potato.
To the author:
Point about Victoria Beckham is the only thing I'd actually shake your hand for writing. She is nothing to more people in England than the media seems to tell you. The rest is summed up by my comment above. Your Second World War history comment about Germany taking over England is utter crap although I would agree that without the US help they would very probably have done so.
If the content is supposed to sound entirely made up or ironic as opposed to expressing real opinion, then this does not come across. It is also devoid of any intelligent wit, satire or general humour.
Leaders from all countries, no matter how developed tend to use propaganda on teachings to their people to build a sense of national pride and unity no matter what the truth may be. It has clearly worked! So it boils down to a case of the truth being what you want it to be to better justify your existence and where you come from.
After reading all these comments about old vs. new I'd like to highlight the following:
new: Obama
old: your queen
Inspiration and Nationalism vs. Stifled Traditions and Dentures.
I studied abroad in England and the only thing I realized was that people who wore bright red during a war (hint: camouflage) and have never heard of deodorant, dental floss, or delicious cuisine should not be calling anyone "stupid."
England has bullied her way to exert control over other nations. She's not a nation builder; she's the inhumane destroyer.
Honestly, I love England's landscape, her art, and the IMAGINARY Hogwarts but not the rude manners exhibited by your nation's occupants. Thankfully, I was able to escape to Scotland and Ireland on the weekends.
Most people prefer a humble yet strong coffee cup to a an uppity yet weak tea any day.
All i can say is. I live in West Yorkshire, lived here my whole life so far, i'm 22 and i love it, i love the nightlife of Halifax, Leeds and Manchester. I love i have a bazillion interesting routes to walk my dog. And that i can go for a chilly swim in the river during the summer and it's only five minutes away. I like the canal boats. I like the bumpy hills of the pennines, the clean crisp city centres and the grimey suburbs. I like the chavs, i like the stuck up city centre "what do you do?" crowd, i like the metal heads, the ravers (especially since that's my crowd!! :D), the drunken footie fans.
I'm not getting into the debate about "Britain vs America" because yeh, i've lived here all my life, i'm british, but i'm not Britain, none of us are, we're living in modern society, people are different, bringing up this country's history as a way to say how bad it is (or has been) is pointless, i'm my own person, i'm not a walking stereotype for England. If people want to make opinions like that, they can choose to do so, i know it's not true. And i choose not to form any opinions like that on other countries either. Theres good and bad in all places, that's the truth, everyone discussing this knows it. Some places have better laws, fine, but in the end, we're all just as bad as each other, i think some of these comments prove it. There are horrible ones from both ends.
Thank you so much for this. I'm an American, I've lived here my entire life, and I agree with you. I just don't understand why people fight over stupid things like this. If you have a problem with your country or someone else's you need to step up and try to make a change. Don't assume we are all back woods trailer trash that sleep with our family members. I don't assume you are all stuck up and prudish, which is one of the stereotypes I have heard. In fact, London is the one place I want to visit out of everywhere in the world in the next few years after college. There is so much history (which yes, does apply to us as Americans since we did belong to Britain at some point in time) there that matters to the world. I can understand some of the things being said about the US and how we handle wars and foreign affairs, but don't assume that everyone here agrees with how it is being handled either. I bet quite a few of the people blindly arguing that the US is better don't actually like a lot of the things going on with our government right now (or haven't for a long time for that matter).
One thing I do want to say: American Football rocks. Don't make a judgement until you have been to a live college or NFL game. And watching the Super Bowl isn't something to be ashamed of!! :)
But... I also like Football (the non-American kind)!
There is only one answer to the whole who's better thing.
One question, if America is better then why do you insist on trying to speek English?
Or why do you insist on trying to attack random countries who then beat you back to the crap hole that you've come from?
England > America in every way.
As for your points
1 - victoria beckham is hardly a celebrity here either. Even if she was that doesn't make USA great?!
2 - England has been around longer, you use our language which you think is good so our rules are right too.
3 - American football isn't popular out of america. I couldn't name a single american footballer. So many stops in the game it makes it boring. Rugby is the same without padding and without constant stoppages which makes it much more enjoyable and manly. Football is played worldwide (including america) therefore much better and there are millions who go watch it every weekend here.
4 - England won WWII. We were in it from the start and in it at the end and were NEVER taken by anyone. The battle of britain ring any bells??? If we had lost that the war would of ended before you could join at the end to claim part of OUR victory. The only country to be in it from start to finish and NOT be taken over. Also we beat you in the war of 1812 and you've lost many like Vietnam (surprise surprise we weren't involved to help you and you lose it!)
5 - Child pornography is obviously illegal. Just obviously less of a punishment such as not having capital punishment!
Other reasons why we are proud to be british and love the best country in the world (that's why so many foreigners come here now!)
The british culture and lifestyle such as pubs across England where you can go everyday to have a laugh and drink with the locals
English sports are better such as football and rugby
British tv sitcoms such as Only fools and horses, Fawlty towers, vicar of dibley, alan partridge etc.
The british sense of humour - shown in shows such as Mock the week and would i lie to you
The english language and accents/dialects
Much better nightlife - English can handle their drink!
Considering the size of England and the size of America, England has done quite well to be the best country in the world
We won WWI and WWII and were in it from the start unlike the americans who come in at the end to claim part of the victory.
The battle of britain where we were pretty much the only allie not to of been taken over by nazi germany. If they had defeated us then they would of won the war there and then but we stood our ground. NO SURRENDER.
The war of 1812 where we beat USA and saved Canada to stop the greedy Americans trying to take their land
The native americans hate USA - that's why they sided with us against USA in the war of 1812 - where we burned down the white house!
The best army around is always helping the yanks out of trouble which they constantly put themselves in.
And when you go to war without our aid what happens? you lose.
RULE BRITANIA
3. we've introduced two nfl games over there and you all went nuts for them. i was there when the chargers and saints played back in october. you all loved it. like a fat girl that just got dumped tearing into a fridge.
4. oh please. you guys were secretly happy about pearl harbor because you then knew we would get involved and save you. get over the war of 1812 already... quite avoiding the big picture, our independence. you lost to a bunch of rednecks that were sleeping in rags on the snow on the brink of starving to death while you marched around in warm red coats and shiny buttons. it's fine really, i feel ya. i'd be pissed as well if my hillbilly uncle humping cousin beat me at a game of chess or something.
just let it go old man, quit living in your glory days. we're what you wish you still were. we're your grown son that could kick your ass if we wanted to but never would. you're like the old man trying to prove he can still move the couch, when he really should just let his muscular young handsome son do it with one hand.
if you wanna get tick for tack-ishy. the native american didn't hate the usa, they hated the english settlers that massacred them upon arrival.
your english humor is corny and predicable. i've never heard an englishman's "quick witted" comment that i didn't already see coming. but you all have a good spirit which is most important and what i happen to love.
here's a quick witted comment - how about you fuck off and learn Spanish because I would prefer you to speak that than think English is YOUR language which WE invented.
NFL? - What the fuck is that, we don't all hang on to America's TV, yours is shit. ESPN? We all watch the BBC which is much better and bigger, we help out more countries than you'll ever fucking do.
Oh yes, by the way, I would like to point out that the UNITED KINGDOM - NOT ENGLAND is the most powerful country in the EU which is already much better than the US - doesn't that say something.
we do like american tv watching them 2 towers collapse was great entertainment.
You like watching people die? No matter what nationality or country, that is sad. You are a sad excuse for a human being. And don't ever try to say it was a joke if you ever thought that. You just admitted to liking seeing hundreds of people die. You do know that families worked there right? I'm sure there were people from all over the world there, considering those buildings did make up the WORLD Trade Center. I'm guessing you think the Holocaust was funny too huh?
i have a problem with several of your misconceptions. i will go by numbers to make it easier for you. 2.so you were around longer big deal that makes you so special, using the english language has nothing to do with rules.3. we use padding to protect ourselves cause we care about our bodies we actually want to beable to have children.4.WW2 you werent taken by anyone but you sure were bombed the heck out and the only reason you won the war was cause of our help. u didnt beat us in the war of 1812.u were still fighting france and stupidly let napoleon escape from the Elba. and had to fight all over again then your ships came to new orleans and tried to takeover there but u lost yet again to us. i believe that ur country helped fight in the vietnam war cause u cant beat anyone anymore times have become more civilized.
Even if America had stayed out of the war we would not have lost. Hitler could not invade British soil. He knew that he could not stand against the royal navy if he sent his soldiers by sea. His only other option to invade Britain was by plane which he attempted and lost(Battle of Britain). This was when he gave up on Britain and turned his attention to the eastern front Which was dominated by the Russians.
Having lived in America for 25 years, and served in its military, and worked in its factories, and climbed into the highest ranks of corporate and governmental life, and having now lived in England for the past 3 years, I can safely say that ENGLAND SUCKS!
They always have, they always will. There is a film - the name of which is the search that led me to this site - which has a courtroom scene in which England is judged to be the country MOST DESPISED by every other country in the world. They slaughtered their way around the globe, claming it all as the 'empire'.
Even the English hate England. After the weather, the daily conversation with anyone in England is generally a moan about how bad life is in England. You rarely see a flag displayed - only when it's football related - they dont have real holidays, just 'bank holidays' where the wealthy give a nod to the underclasses and grant them a day off - and then promptly replace them with imported labor.
All this in a country categorized as a 'constitutional monarchy' - but (and here's where the fabulous sense of irony comes into play) has no constitution! As has often been said - the only reason communism failed is because the British didnt invent it. Queue up please!
The average American 3rd grader knows more about history then the Brits. Ask an average Englishman about the historical significance of Guy Fawkes - you know what you get? Nothing. "He tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament" Why? "Dunno, mate." Tell them about Charles the I, and why the Pilgrims left England during the bllodbath after Henry VIII and Elizabeth I and Charles I (as repayment to the Catholics for the Vatican's support for Spains attempted invasion to restore catholicism). Bask in the blank stare that comes back at you - the warmth of their frying grey matter as they try to string togther a polysyllabic reply.
Bottom line - I may live here (UK) now, but the USA is best fucking country on thie planet - bar none - and anyone who suggests otherwise, is an arse'ole.
PS - Even Scotland doesnt want to be part of the UK, nor Wales, and soon that sorry arsed Union Jack will be a relic. Oh, and I'm sure EVERYONE on the planet knows what the English flag looks like, right? RIGHT?
right to start off with you are a dick
there now i got that out in the open care to look at the page.
OH suprise english people not moaning about england. wow
another thing you have a go about our empire and how we slaughtered our way around the globe well take a look in the mirror arse and oh why are you having ago without our slaughtering your ancestors wouldnt even exist.
i also find it hard to belive you having a go at us for slaughtering to gain an empire. There were no WMD's you went in there for oil in the name of peace you bas'tard
P.S. you say we slaughtered Japan and its inocent citys ring any bells ass'hole
Since you are a soldier, perhaps you are used to people avoiding political disagreements with you, since they don't wish to seem ungrateful of your service. That is the only explanation I can think of for your extraordinarily mistaken, and yet childishly triumphant article. Let me begin by pointing out that you do mention one significant liability of English national pride: the time of Empire. Yet increasingly many educated Westerners, as they shrink from the repugnance of moral relativism, are prepared to confess admiration for aspects of Victorian British statecraft. This does not mean that they condoned the practices of the culture. Rather, like Sparta, a city-state in which all human effort was subordinated to war-making, it provides an example with good and bad characteristics. The slavery of Sparta is morally unjustifiable, as are numerous genocidal actions carried out by British forces, for instance the literal genocide of Tasmanian Islanders, the last of whom died in the 1930s.
In fact, it is to societies like Imperial England, Greek city-states, and the Roman Empire that we directly owe quality of civilized life. The story of human history consists of one group defeating, subjugating, and usually incorporating another group. In this way civilizations have largely preserved ancient technologies such as writing or the wheel, without the need to reinvent it countless times. So the United States, for which you served, is the heir and beneficiary of these ancient civilizations which perpetrated heinous and innumerable crimes. No doubt, the United States has perpetrated crimes that are morally repugnant.
But let us not be mistaken: the United States has succeeded militarily because it is heir to those Western traditions, and because it is a liberal democracy, capable of assimilating and selling new technologies, willing and able to spend vast sums of money on defense, and capable of maintaining a credible deterrent against attack of the most sophisticated kind.
But civilizations are not immune to the vicissitudes of time and chance. Nor are case studies in the "fall of Empire" instructive on how to avert the decline that many prophesy has already begun.
you say that the english don't know their history, how would you know that? you've done a survey? you've actually spoken to each and every brit? well their was a survey, and it was to find out how many americans could point to iraq on a map, the results proved what the rest of the world already knew....americans are simple.
good day sir.
I agree with you on the point that how he/she would know that the British people don't know their history is ridiculous, but I think the same question could be asked about how the British people who say we all sleep with our sisters and brothers and live in trailers and are completely uneducated. Did you do a survey? I don't think so, because I don't know ANYONE who fits any of those awful stereotypes. I won't, however, sit here and say that we don't fit any of our stereotypes, but every country and nationality has those people who do.
"The average American 3rd grader knows more about history then the Brits"
Americans only have 200 years of history to learn about. I would like to see you try and learn the 2000 years of British history
HAHAHAHAHA
All you English haters are hilarious!!
It's plain for anyone to see the anger and bitterness caused by resentment toward the English. Does history matter? If so you must hate alot of other countries!! Maybe Americans should try to be a bit more neutral instead of trying to kick everyones ass. I think you guys just need to let it out, just cry...its ok...
If America had any history perhaps she wouldn't be so envyous of a country (slightly smaller than Oregon) with more history and culture in its left bumcheek than America will ever have :D.
If Victoria Beckham and 5 other 'excellent' reasons why England Sucks is all you could come up with, then I am a happy Englishman.
Good night and GOD SAVE THE QUEEN :D
Tbh this is hilarious! Its funny how you all think that America is better then Britain, I can name 50 resons from the top of my head now. And the only reason you won that war thing or whatever was because we were interested with more important things like napoleon so we couldn't put our full army out. Yes I said it, you came 2nd to Frances. Owned.

in regards to 3 and 6
you all definitely get an A for effort and spirit, but british humor and sarcasm is always the predictable jolly yo-ho knee slappers you see coming a mile away. but all in all, i love the over excitement you all get to share your whitty one liners, you can't hardly say it fast enough. quickly followed by and exagerated nudge to the rib and a big cheesy grin.
Bowler hats and Freddie Mercury ftw. i dont really care about the rest but everyone needs to shut the fuck up about this because we are the same. if you dont like other peoples culture than piss off. maybe someday people will realize everyone has flaws and we need to just deal with it. the person who started this thread should have just called it Why America is unique and not mention any flaws of Britain. I think that they are both equal and if they teamed up, they would be like batman and superman mixed together lol.
I am an American, living in England, with most of my family in Ireland. I am NOT blind to the faults of America, but can say - without any hesitation - than the US is better than England nearly across the board.
Actually, the ONLY thing I can think of that is better in the UK than in the US is the chocolate.
Free healthcare is a wonderful idea, except that waiting for an appointment in the UK takes weeks or months. I am shocked the death rate is not through the roof.
The food is horrible (and America produces most of its own food, unlike England)
The people in the US are nicer and more polite, generally speaking. I must add that Geordies and everyone I met in Scotland and Ireland while staying there are wonderful people.
The weather is horrid.
Television (commercials or not) is crap compared to American TV.
Important things are overpriced here (petrol, food, housing, gas and electric) when compared to the US.
The educational system (I have three children) is not nearly as good as the educational system in either Florida or North Carolina, the only two US school systems of which I have first hand knowledge.
As for Iraq and other stupid pointless wars, last I checked... England had their hand in most of those, as well.
Americans ARE fat, but so are Brits. I have noticed absolutely NO difference in weight or body size between the two countries. None.
One last point:
I hear constantly from Brits that England was the greatest, most bestest super power eva. In reality, that is not true. Moreover, more attention should be given to the fact that any dominance England had at one point is OVER and has been over for a very long time. Any English person who truly believes that England would be able to defend itself - on its own - against most of the threats in today's world needs their head examined.
My intent is not to be rude or offensive, and I have nothing against the English. However, I have never in my life heard as much whining, bitching, ranting, and raving about how bad the rest of the world is as I have heard here. I have never, not even living in the southern US, ever heard so much baseless and self-righteous crap as I have heard in England. Not in America, not in Ireland, not in Canada, not in Scotland, not in Holland. Not in any place I have ever lived. Except England.
HAD.
you're like the ex boyfriend parked out front her house. get over it. you've been replaced.
Well, I'm sorry, the UK has a better life expectancy than you lot, at least we can fit through a door, at least we can hold our own in time of war. We declared war and we won it, beat that, you couldn't even fight back the Vietnamese!
How about you look in the NHS, which frankly doesn't take weeks or months or many more people would have died - oh, look at your original comment. You have 300,000,000 people in the US, we in the UK have 60,000,000, you only opened up Ellis Island coz u were lonely. 40 million people don't have Healthcare. When I am on my deathbed, at least I will be guaranteed a bed at a hospital. Britain is tougher, you might have a bigger air force, navy and army than us but we have a better spirit and we are unified, none of this state shit.
Replaced by what, a morbidly obese Uncle Sam who can't even string a sentence together and point to Canada to on the map - yeah, we've been replaced by a real look haven't we.
I own businesses in all three places and I have to ask what you base your comparison of the education system. I grew and attended school in the UK through the 9th grade. I then attended schools in Florida.
I own fast food franchises in NC/SC/GA/FL and one in Birmingham, UK. My managers in North Carolina and Florida are constantly fighting to get documented Latin immigrants because they have basic literacy skills. Yes in Spanish but I pay for managers to learn Spanish. The Literacy rate in both NC and FL is on average 80% well below the US and UK national average.
My UK franchise is able to hire indigenous and document immigrants without worry about basically literacy. During a normal week you can find people who speak 10 languages besides English in my UK franchise. In my NC/FL franchise you'll be in lucky to get English.
So if Literacy, the building block of all learning, isn't a guideline when judging education maybe NC/FL are far superior.
you are fucking wrong britain or it could be the queen owns in her name a little document called the royal territorys which if she ask's canada south africa nepal and australia have to give there armed forces to the full usage under her control which she will probably give to the british goverment making that one big army the empire isnt gone also no us you would be speaking spanish and french and also germany britain had a bigger army than armerica better trained and equiped and we wer more in important during world war 2 all you did is send someuntrained basterds when in nearly battle the british army made up te majority of the force seriously you give your selves to much credit this is true we where more of a threat and we would have won germans we just would have lost more men and thats the truth check it up fat arses you say our country is fat?? ROFL britain is actually a helathy company what isthat MC DONALDS you fat fucks so lets not get in that arguement
Lol neutrals like the Aussies all admit how England is the better country. We Brits are way harder, tougher, slightly less fatter and much much more sound than the fat yanky scum. They speak OUR language for a start, in fact they pretty much are OUR fat spoilt children. They have a literacy rate lower than Kazakstahn and are widely known as being very very fat and pussyholes. I'd like to see a yank kid come up here and try to fight off a Brit kid, fat pussyhole would get slapped the fuck up.
WTF? im from england,, i now live in australia,, australia in the biggest fukin hole in the world,, tourists don't come to australia,, cos its shit,, its neva sunny and the chicks are all bogans,, and there are aboriginal ppl going around smoking bong and swearing, knocking their cousins up at 12, so just don't,, and europe ppl drink so fukin much,, most of it comes from there u idiot. nice website
oh yeah and americans are all prudes,, wats wiv this 21 yr old shit,, y not be NORMAL and have it at 16. serious obama 4 lyfe,, but ffs ur all pussies. and holy shit america do make their own food but like is it actually food? british beef is the (proven) best quality in the world. and burger king in england is sooo expensive,, but thats not bad, u know y, cos if many ppl can't afford that for lunch then y have it,, go healthy. and about iraq and afganistan,, IF U AMEICAN FAGS HAVE NOTICED, THE GREAT BRITISH ARMY HAVE PULLED OUT,, THAT MEANS EVERY SOLDIER,, un like who. . . oh wait, AMERICA

CHICKS HERE ARE SO HOT...
Nah ryan i know iam this is like a small convo :P
but ok they are hot but like its shit ova here the education rate is shit even though its supposed to be good,, and u have to admit about the bogans
I live in a galaxy far from here, learnt the language through your internet and would like to get my point across. To be honest, both Great Britain and the United States of America are Capitalist super-powers, them and a number of other countries make up a powerful Capitalist regime that will one day engulf your planet in Democracy. They are both the pinpoint of technological advancement on Earth, both military and economical (trust me, I know).
From my viewpoint this comic bickering is rather pointless, maybe its a trait that only a human-being possesses, I don't know, but all you need to do is foresee and realise that both nations shall mould Earth into what will one day, far from now, be a powerful Galactic faction, and be the role model for many other races from many other Solar Systems.
P.S. Although I am forbidden to interfere, I shall warn you. An evil, sadistic race from your Galaxy, The Milky Way as you call it, shall soon loom over your planet, they will wipe civilisation off the face of Earth and make an addition to their already substantial empire. What I have said in the previous paragraph shall be made redundant if you do not prepare for this attack.
Ok, British Lad here!
A person said earlier how the UK wasn't invaded in WWII, well unfortunately it was! The germans invaded the channel islands on our south coast, and technically our isles were invaded during WW2. It was Hitlers stepping stone, hoping we would send the fleet in to liberate thus the huge possibility we would loose out fleet and leave us suspeptible to invasion! Churchill didn't - smart man
And on another note, my god, what a load of crap both sides speak in this subject. The majority of British don't hate americans and having been in the states a fair amount of time, I have never known americans to hate the brits.
Anyway must go, the new administration is sending back the Bust of Winston which was donated to the white house, I am about to arranage the bust of Lincoln to be sent back!!!! lol
GOD BLESS THE QUEEN, and GOD BLESS AMERICA
Even though London was spared physical occupation. the city suffered from Nazi bombing raids more than any other European city, and the actual devastation may have been worser than other cities the Nazis intended eventually to rebuild. London was attacked not only early in the war by aircraft, but in 1944 and '45, it became the first target in the history of cruise missile, and ballistic missile warfare.
The Nazis did not occupy the United Kingdom as the Channel Islands are not technically part of it. It's like saying the American Revolution was a civil war, although aspects of it were, because the original Thirteen Colonies were under British ruling.
1. Victoria Beckham - true, but you have to admit there is some entertainment to be had in seeing a skelatal-stick woman who has a pout bigger than her head. But you can keep her though, you may need a plunger to unblock the toilet.
2. At least most people pick a side of the road to drive on - old people and the French drive straight down the centre of the road. The only difference is that the French do it at 80mph in second gear.
3. Sure, whatever, you can call "American football" football and football soccer - either way, football (soccer) is full of nancies who get paid to much and can't get the ball taken from them without entertaining us all with a Oscar-worthy 'my ankle is in agony' performance. Any sport where everyone runs into each other at high speed is great. That's why rugby is better than football.
4. It has been said before, Germany didn't successfully invade Britain in WW2. If they did, proceeding to bomb the living shit out of the city your troops were currently resting their jackboots in would have to be the dumbest thing since George W Bush. No, instead they did the next dumbest thing and opened up a second front with the ruskies, thus ensuring they got spitroasted by the allies and the Russians. Go Fritz!
5. I didn't hear anything about this, but it sounds plausible. After all, the liberal do gooders over here have done so much good for us all that even thieves sometimes get their human rights looked after better than their victims. Unless you're my old neighbour, who deliberately left his window open during a robbery spate in the area and sat by it in the dark with a baseball bat. When the prick climbed in he got knocked the f*** out. True story.
6. Don't blame that crap on us! You guys made it. Actually that is a little unfair, Hollywood made it, and since that isn't even on the same planet as us can hardly count as America. Either way, we deny all responsibility. Any film industry that thinks it is okay to write Britain out of WW2 can't be above making King Ralph. They could make it up to us by making a faithful version of Operation Chariot (look it up). That stuff writes itself, it's true and it has commandos in it.
Ps, if Todd really did think the US didn't gain independance until the seventies, kick him in the stones for me. Sound like another gormless twat you are perfectly welcome to.
Take it easy bro!
In fact, the Germans would have executed "Operation Seelowe" (Sealion), which called for an amphibious assault of the Channel coast, had they been able to attain air superiority in the dogfights and raids during the second half of 1940; the implications of this fact are significant enough to warrant mention of German designs.
The anonymous bloke above me is right, the channel islands were taken. So technically, yes, Britain was invaded. But those islands are so close to France you can almost smell the cheese. If that was the best the Nazis could do it's hardly an achievement to be proud of. Occupy London they did not.
Not one word of your article is fact. It's all lies. Ignorant, awful lies.
Typical, arrogant American.
London wasn't occupied by the Germans in WWII, England has never been occupied by a foreign force since it was established in 1066
"Established" in 1066? 1066 is the date of the Norman invasion, after which a French aristocracy swept aside the Anglo-Saxon overlcass, and installed itself in the seats of power. Though England was in a sense "united" by conquest, which destroyed feudal chiefdoms, more significantly it was drawn into the ambit of Continental politics.
However Mr Kitrich - if that was the case, don't you think we would have a Federal Europe by now? I do agree that it wasn't established in 1066, the Kingdom of England had very little to do with Europe, the Empire was the main issue. England wasn't united until 200 years later and yet the Feudal System still remained but just much bigger with the King, being William being in charge and the barons and knights having other portions of land. Feudal Chiefdoms weren't abolished at that point - It took much longer.
Quote - "And heres the real kick in the nuts: we prefer Canada anyway!" Now even if that was TRUE, are you really going to be this much in denial? So really, British immigrants prefer "to go to Canada"? Yet, there many "Actors", Musicians, just straight weird people (Like Russell Brand), and regular British (I should say English) who immigrate and come work here. It's quite funny Brits who see the US as a bad country, then they have friends and family who immigrated here and live here. That I find funny and if I wasn't comformed or educated, plus filled with envious anger, and was "Ghetto", I would of went two blocks from where I live and slapped the British guy THAT LIVES THERE. I'm sure he would REALLY love the American Justice System when he needs it. Fuckin' Hypocites. I should quote ths great land's saying: Love it or GTFO.
Judging by these comments, the only thing you "conform" to is the European stereotype of the "ugly American".
And also, the American Judicial System happens to be heavily based on the one in the United Kingdom which is where common law and practice originated, another point in which America is very much the same as the UK. Also, America wasn't named after Amerigo Vespucci, it was named after Richard Ameryk, a Welsh Man who was living in Bristol at the time.
The city of Bristol is in the South West of England in the United Kingdom, Google Map it.
I happen to live in America. I don't really think either is better.
And I still haven't seen a single British person retaliate on the fact that this is ONLY A FUCKING JOKE. Maybe you didn't get that this is a j-o-k-e site. :|
Surely 'American Football' uses hands whereas you only use your feet in actual football and therefore it makes so much more sense for that to be called football rather than the rugby style game you call football. Also football came before American football so you kind of just stole the name!
Also what language are you speaking? English? From England?
So England/Britain clearly rules
I disagree mostly on this article.
1. You can have Victoria.
2. How does that make you better than us?
3. As somebody else said, you don't play football. The irony is, you americans don't use your feet dumbasses.
4. STupid comment for a few reasons:
a. we took it over.
b. In WW2 england was roughly 1/5 the size of germany. We beat them. We were never taken over, except by William of Normandy way back.
If you get a pure "american" and trace their ancestors back far enough, It's almost certain that their ancestor was English. The english COLONISED america "The Pilgrim Fathers". Ring a bell to you? Or were you eating a cheeseburger during that lesson?
5. YOu think a movie makes america better than england? Moron. This is why 99% of the world believes all americans are stupid.
'Well I have the internet and I looked it up. Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London.'
FUCKING CRACK ADDICT! GERMANY NEVER SET FOOT ON ENGLISH SOIL! THEY BOMBED US! THEY NEVER OCCUPIED LONDON YOU RETARD! IF THEY HAD OCCUPIED LONDON WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INVADE FRANCE YOU TOSSER! GET YOUR BLOODY FACTS STRAIGHT!
Also may i say that the USA declares war on the country with the most oil :P ridiculous prick.
you say 'mom' it's 'MUM'. god, get some spelling practice.
You a a country full of disasters!
Callum you imbecile, as I have stated previously, technically German did invade Gt Britain - they invaded and occupied the Channel Islands - Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Alderney, Hurn - Get an Atlas and find them!!
I simply cannot believe the things said here, and the lack of education which obviosuly shows in these posts. Time and time again, people keep mentioning our great Empire! It fell - like all empires do in the end. All we did was go around the world - along with the spanish and the french raping and piliging other lands in the name of the 'crown' One royal family (whoever they have been at the time) to make them richer. Get a grip!
Can't we just stop all this bullshit and comparing who is better than who?!
Josh - Proud British Lad, but a realist
I agree with the channel islands thing, but don't be stupid please - I hate stupid people.
Do you know why our Empire collapsed? We gave it back - do your research! We let them have their own rulers! Americans technically are English, unless you're a fucking immigrant lol.
hahaha, we gave america back?! The Baltimore truce? or when they kicked our arses in Jamestown VA? We were actualy 'booted' out by what amounted a lot of farmers! Our fine army kicked out by potatoe farmers!
A true Anglo-saxon here- so yes not technically british if you want to be anal about it!
American's are by no means english! Did the french not own Louisiana? Did the dutch not settle? Did the Spanish not settle?
PLEASE get an education!
Which are the major population centre's of your country. New York, Los Angeles, all along the Eastern Seaboard and the Pacific Coast, those were the parts that the ENGLISH owned. We also bought New Amsterdam off the Dutch for around about a Modern US Dollar.
I think most Americans think that when they declared independence, it was the whole of United States of America which is wrong, States had to be incorporated into the Union.
I am British and I know that, that shows that Britain isn't thick.

I am British and I know that, that shows that Britain isn't thick as I am fifteen and going through GCSE's, oh yeah, which are much more harder than your pansy SAT's. You fucked up our SATS with the marking and yet 20 yr old University Students from Hull working for Edexcel can do a better job than ETS.
Jersey and Guernsey aren't part of the UK...they're the channel islands and they form federacy with the UK but legally, they have their own governments and taxation.
Totally agree.
the only reason this world is in such a state is everyone one is trying to get one over the other, pathetic!
Do you you want to know the secret of life? well it's PEACE & BEING AT HARMONY WITH THE EARTH! not trying to be like all the Governments who really are the bad seeds of the human race, we should be pulling together and realize what is really going on in our world i.e THE NWO and real agenda behind it all because it will effect everyone.
So i urge everyone to do some research on the NWO/AGENDA 21/ and take a good look at what is really happening to us and the reason behind it.
I dont suggest looking at your national or local news i.e CNN/FOX/BBC NEWS UK/BBC NEWS WORLD- But i suggest you go look at RT NEWS/PRISONPLANET/INFOWARS.COM/WIKILEAKS Thats where the real news is and thats why our criminal governments want to take control of the internet to shut these sites down, not because it is bull oh no, but because its the TRUTH!
I mean Obama was saying the other day that he is going to put a stop to people talking debating on want is truth or false, there is no more FREE SPEACH as now you can be arrested for speaking the truth.
The overall truth is that the Governments want to enslave us all!
There should only be one debate going on here and thats how we going to stop this NWO to happen, not who's better than who! it's time everyone woke up and took a good long hard look at what is happening.
Hannibal - UK
I admit, I made a mistake. But from what you've just said. lol.... I can't see how there's a TRUE american. They're all fuckin immigrants lol!
Sorry for sounding racist, but I can't believe there can be a "country/race" if there isn't ANY pure Americans. Americans is just a general name given to a group of immigrants on an island.
ever heard the term 'melting pot of the world'?!?! awww i wish i could give you a cute little pat on the head right now. it's so cute how you stumbled upon your conclusion of the 'american race' like you cracked some genius code or something.
jesus christ. i don't mind stupid people. but i can't stand stupid poeple that have mistaken themselves for smart. i love people that are smarter than me. i can't stand when stupid people think they're telling me something. know your role. here's a tip for life, seriously. i promise people will think you are smarter if you talk a lot less. much less. seriously. do it.
You imbecile - to start with America isn't an island and my point is, British arn't pure anyway we are made up from saxons - german's ! and the vikings! - so we are just as much immigrants as the yanks - just older ones!!!! my friend if you think yourself pure english - YOUR probably german!!!!
America is a continental island nob head! It is divided by the Panama Canal. You have Latin America, the Hispanics etc. Then you have the fat ignorant people and then, on top, Canada which beats the socks of America in every aspect from HDI to Democracy Indexes.
I've been in London for two months now visiting my boyfriend and I've visited in the past and I do not like it here, at all. Leaving aside the history shit, which seems really irrelevant to me, what I don't like is how people are here... rude, cold and distant. Even before someone hears my American accent... he or she just comes off as a total fuckface who isn't welcoming or warm. No one here fucking smiles at you, but that's probably cause of their naturally shitty (not shit) teeth anyway. Customer service blows. Oh and what bothers me the most is the second the god damn sun comes out it's like people orgasm to it and go on about how fucking lovely it is outside. Shut the fuck up.
I know people will say I'm judgemental and whatnot but I'm not. I don't judge people here. I'm just saying that so far these have been consistent experiences except a couple nice people that were like polish or something.
Epic fail.
Krisi, do you not think your experiences are based purely on London?! and not the United Kingdom as whole? Its a 10 million capacity city, and to be honest it's made up of so many 'cultures' and visitors that it's like any other city of its size - cold and rude! I have been to NYC many times - that's just the same. Have you been outside of the centre of london, lond city? You will find many warm londoners.
Also, I am sorry you are offended by our behaviour when we have a good weather system - trust me, 55 million of us would rather have sunnier times, and we may get a little excited when it's a hot day!
im brittish or scotish if u want the full thing and we are usualy liked by everyone (exept the english) and i like both countries
but lets clear up a few things
u.s has never been takin over but around 60% of the u.s are british and another 20% got a bit of brit in them so you cant say shit about us
the u.s is the most powerful country in the world and has been since britain lost its power in the 60s if britain and the u.s went to war the u.s would win but i would bet ma right nut
the u.s would lose more men because u get things done but sloppy and careless eaisly saw in your army weve lost twice as many soliders in afganastan (bad spelling another country we made) from friendly fire than enemy
in world war 1 and 2 we were the word superpower and we sacrafised our empire to stop germany twice or we woulds still have it we killed and spent more than any other country
on those wars
america is great but its to big to label and should probaly be more than 1 country ive never been but from some of the people ive met i can tell people there are more fake and snoby than britain (not including posh englind)
america gets its bad name from its extremists you have tons
people that get adicted to easily to stuff witch can be good but mostly bad
ordinary people give less efort watch total wipeout us then uk
i barley miss a epesoide of either one and the brits usualy do a harder course in half the time only 1 time that ive saw the americans do better
Hey, highlander, I'll have you know, the English love the Scottish, accent and all, sure we haven't gotten along in the past, but blam the ancestors.
americans are all dyslexic. colour, favourite, they are just lazy for removing letters from words. they wouldn't understand. and taking sides is not racist, it is patriotic.
americans are so pig-headed, everyone has a terrible stereotype like the brits all posh, no we say stuff like "aright mate!" and stuff like that. Infact for the importance of this situation i have assembled a list (50) reasons why GREAT Britain is better than the us of a.

47-We have our place names, rather than stealing others and putting ‘New’ in front of them
48-Wallace and Gromit
49-Freddie Mercury
50-In the film Armageddon, Europe and Asia are hit by asteriods but god blesses america and saves them. pfff, american crap.
My name says it all. We invented the language (BRITS) and the Americans just tweaked it to their own lazy liking.
Oi, da only reason we drive on the left is because in the 13th century or something we drove on the left so the enemies had to go on the right and being right-handed, the enemy has the disadvantage. Driving on the left is better, we might not get invaded anymore but hey, you can't teach old dogs new tricks.
everyone hates the english, cos they invaded scotland, my country, wales and ireland and burnt everything. heck english burnt the white house down in 1899. so the english are the best but certainly not the most popular!
Amen brother, both the brits and americans are fascist states in disguise. The brits are crownies who occupy other nations and the americans elect their fascist every 4 years, who then supports other crownie/fascist govts occupying others, and/or installs a pseudo-government in 3rd world countries to follow their fascist agenda.
JO TA KE, IRABAZI ARTE
TIOCFAIDH AR LA
Britain is just better ok? i can garuntee, i forgot how to spell, that the guy JBHOUR has NEVER been to the United Kingdom.
Listen, you little inbred yank prick, I've got some facts for your dumb arse.
1-England has never been invaded or taken over by someone since 1066. AMERICA was taken over by whites AFTER that, then the US was created. Its so recent and new that no one would have the chance to take over it anyway
2-FOOTBALL is from England, before "american" football (rugby for little yankee bitches)
3-Child porn is illegal anywhere
4-The USA would not exist if not for Britain
5-Britain had Empires. The USA has nothing
6-The USA is, as a nation, overweight and unfit
7-In the Revolutionary War, the USA had 50,000 men. Britain and her allies had 30,000 men and was fighting wars elsewhere
8-The USA has won 3 wars on its own-the First Barbary war against underequipped enemies which they outnumbered, and the Mexican-American war where you ALSO had 35000 moe soldiers, as well as more funding and munitions, and the Phillipene War, where you also outnumbered them
9-Engalnd has lost no wars since 1357
10-Seeing as driving on the left started in Britain, where roads were built by the Romans in ancient times, driving on the left is CORRECT
11-Your language, your country, your civilisation was all started by us
Driving on the left meant that the if the enemy was right handed, he couldn't stab you. From the Roman times, you prick. Not 1776. Oh, sorry, 1976, right? Oh yeah, about the MAJORITY RULE- the MAJORITY of the world plays FOOTBALL, not "soccer".
Btw, your not funny or clever
I copied this off wikipedia and you can take the link too, this is why Britain drives on the left:
Safety factors
Research in 1969 by J. J. Leeming showed countries driving on the left have a lower collision rate than countries driving on the right. It has been suggested this is partly because humans are more commonly right-eye dominant than left-eye dominant.] In left-hand traffic, the predominantly better-performing right eye is used to monitor oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror. In right-hand traffic, oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror are handled by the predominantly weaker left eye.
History
In 1998, archaeologists found a well-preserved track leading to a Roman quarry near Swindon, England. The grooves in the road on the right side were observed to be much deeper than those on the left side, which would make sense given that carts would be driven without any load to the quarry, but would return laden with stone. These grooves suggest that the Romans drove on the left, at least in this particular location.
In fact, some, for example C. Northcote Parkinson, believed that ancient travellers on horseback generally rode on the left side of the road. As more people are right-handed, a horseman would thus be able to hold the reins with his left hand and keep his right hand free—to offer in friendship to passing riders or to defend himself with a sword, if necessary. It is often suggested this practice was brought about by the use of postilions on coaches; in some countries they sat facing forward, in others back.
The first legal reference in Britain to an order for traffic to remain on the left was in 1756 with regard to London Bridge. The Highway Act 1773 contained a recommendation that horse traffic should remain on the left and this is enshrined in the Highway Act 1835.
In the late 1700s, the shift from left to right that took place in countries such as the United States was based on teamsters' use of large freight wagons pulled by several pairs of horses. The wagons had no driver’s seat, so a postilion sat on the left rear horse and held his whip in his right hand. Seated on the left, the driver preferred that other wagons pass him on the left so that he could be sure to keep clear of the wheels of oncoming wagons. He did that by driving on the right side of the road.
Countries that became part of the British Empire adopted the British keep-left rule, although many have since changed. In Canada, the Maritime provinces and British Columbia initially drove on the left, but changed to the right in order to make border crossings to and from the United States easier. Nova Scotia switched to driving on the right on 15 April 1923.

forgot the link, here it is
I know you dont have a brain so you might find this hard to understand. You say America is better because it has never been sucsesfully invaded, thats over the period of 230 years, GREAT Britan hasent been conquerd since 1066, now being american your MATHS (the proper way to say math) probably isnt good enough to see that 2009 minus 1066 is alot more than 230. And so Britain hasnt been conquered in longer than the USA. Now most americans are probably good people but twats like you are the reason most of the world hates america, and dont make fun of that twat George bush, you were dumb enough to elect him...
just for the book i am completely flaborgasted that i have read all of this. To my defense it is hilarious.i understand that this was originlly created as a jke (2 fuck yaears ago!) and i never would of thought i would be commenting on something from so long ago. but it is a touchy topic which must be debated. i still strongly believe that there is more abuse to be pushed around between the 2 sides. it is funny as hell so pease continue. i would like to clear up our weather, to be fair who wants it to be sunny when their in the office? we want it drisley and thank god for granting it us more often then not. we can just chill out with a cup of tea and thank god we dont live in a society were we have the right to bare arms, so we can go home o our sexually satisfied girlfriends and watch the americans riot over barracks plans to change american healthcare into one which replicates britains. The fact that so much negative commotion has been made over there about the nhs just shows how fuckin crazy americans are.
Right then. ok clever clogs. America is the best country in the world for one good reason... because we all laugh at its pathetic attempts to beat britain at anything. Be it football (proper football i mean, not yankee shit), rugby, cricket, shit we even beat u at american football a few times lmao.
Oh and yeah in 1812, a full powered british army fell down on america like a ton of bricks! we burned the fuckin white house for gods sake! hahaha. and erm Paul Frank; i think u myt be jokin about princess diana, the beatles, ghandi and mother theresa being american. cuz if ur not, u r a little bit dumb. The Beatles were a liverpool garage band (liverpools the famous city in england btw). Mother Theresa and gandhi were indian. or at least mother theresa lived and grew up there. oh and fyi... the US won the battle of boston and new york, no others. this was probably because u attacked from behind when we were already at war with france. america had close to 10,000 men, we had close to 100. hmmm....
and yes Britain has made many faults. but our country has existed for over a thousand years, america has existed for nearly 300 and already you are close to beatin our record. Congrats. and as for US girls being betta looking; this may be true when you watch US cheerleadin films, but i mean come on... your not gonna put mrs potts who weighs 30 stone on tghe film are u dumbass. and believe me... my girlfriend is so fit and sexy u would druel, no exaggeration. but then again i did make a modelling audition at the age of 15. so yes ther are fuck ugly brits as well. but let me ask you this: with your much higher population, whos more likely to have a higher number of ugly women! i think i have made by point now. so im gonna retire from this stupid argument. but btw; more british people have commented meanin america loses. aha. U lost again... sorry boys!
u just got owned by Dean Turner. it was my pleasure. If u yanks read this whilst eating your mcdonalds thenill rest my case n let u get on with it!
hahaha
oh and krisi... id like to just ask; i feel very sorry for your boyfriend. especially if hes 18 and your about 11 by the sounds of it. One more thing; i grow tired of this ridiculus british teeth thing. I find it hard to understand how we can have shit teeth considering we invented the most lucrative toothpaste in the world. COLGATE. Yes its british u asswipe! and AQUAFRESH is irish. n no we dont use fuckin dental floss because we can actually afford toothpaste u faggots!
U just got owned again by Dean Turner.
Your welcome
lol
Sorry, but Colgate is and always has been an American company-look it up
It's my responsibility to correct that jackass, J.B. hour, that it is 1/3 and not 1/4 of the total world's population that drives on the left-hand side. Not yet 1/4, you idiot americans.
: You filthy americans play football with minimal use of foot. Now how is this football. Football is played with football like in europe. Learn from them you idiots.
:In 1775, revolutionaries gained control of each of the thirteen colonial governments, set up the Second Continental Congress, and formed a Continental Army. you see the point. It was 13 colonies to one. You Americans will never learn to play fair games.
:The Japanese prefecture of Okinawa, under US military rule and driving on the right since June 24, 1945, switched back to the left-hand traffic used by the rest of Japan on July 30, 1978. You see the point you force people to travel right side
:Research in 1969 by J. J. Leeming showed countries driving on the left have a lower collision rate than countries driving on the right. It has been suggested this is partly because humans are more commonly right-eye dominant than left-eye dominant.[21][22][23] In left-hand traffic, the predominantly better-performing right eye is used to monitor oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror. In right-hand traffic, oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror are handled by the predominantly weaker left eye. In addition, it has been argued that left sided driving is safer for elderly people given the likelihood of them having visual attention deficits on the left side and the need at intersections to watch out for vehicles approaching on the near-side lane. IT IS SAFER ON THE LEFT!
: Kick obama's ass and LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
AWW SO UR AMITTING THAT AMERICA KICKED UR ASS EVEN THOUGH WE HAD FARM BOYS FIGHTING AND U HAD THE STRONGEST ARMY (LOL AT THAT POINT BUT NOT NO MORE). HAHAHAHAHA UR JUST JEALOUS POOR POOR BABY
I live in Maryland, USA. And I love America but the Americans are retaliating like a pack of blind retards against English comments. Your article Generalizes pretty much everything about English People. And for the record GERMANY NEVER OCCUPIED LONDON, what a lot of Americans don't understand is, made up facts don't become true over the internet. And I'm so sick of the stupid "Are you still bitter over the War" how pathetic can you be that's the best slag you can come up with against a country that took over one third of the world and killed more people than any other nation EVER!????
Americans Grow Up, English Shut Up
You know we English invented concentration camps!
And where is our thanks!!!??!!?
Your quite funny.
Even though u hate Britain, you still use words like bloody. And for the record. That word originated here in the UK. Im proud to be british because we are not buck toothed hill billies who hump their own brothers and sisters. We dont complicate things by saying aluminum a different way. Everyone in America are either fat arses or disformed hillbilies. And football is wayyyyyyyyy better in Europe.
HAHA ( im 13 btw and everyone i know HATE THE YANKEES!!!! )
Americans are just superbly retarded. This dumbarse gets his facts completely wrong and simply acts like a fool (or should I say 'american' lol). He starts a convo by trolling? Why is that good? Americans are the evil smut of the earth. America are the only ones scared enough to use nukes. Fact is, America has NEVER won a war alone. The war against Britain? They forced irish immigrants to fight their battle an in the end the French saved America and suffered MORE cassualties, proving America did nothing. There is only ONE war America fought solo, the Vietnam war. America hadvthe upperhand...AND LOST. America is a country full of idiots who flourish by their lack of morals and ethics, they are so dumb that they can't take a simple hint: NO ONE LIKES AMERICA.
i love england so much and i just wanna stand up and say something for our country.
i just love the way english people are, stuff like going to the pub to watch the six nations or the world cup.
having bq's in summer and eating way too much.
festivals like glastonbury are the BEST!
the way when it snows here the whole of britain literally stops and everyone just has a laugh.
the way everyone practically lives for a friday.
the fact that in some point of your life you will have been down the pub for a sunday roast.
the way that everyones got one particular city that they adore be it london, cardiff, glasgow, dublin, newcastle, liverpool or manchester (for me its birmingham!)
i love england, my dad loves england, my grandad loves england.
my whole famiily loves england and is proud to sing god save our queen.
jess4991,
that was beautifully written and can(should) be appreciated from both ends of this arguement.
it is one of the very very few comments on here anyone can have any respect for. most are full of over-used banter and pointless bashing. "you're all fat" - "you all have bad teeth".
i am a proud american, but i miss england terribly.
seasons greetings from across the way... actually, you definitely get the best of wintery holidays and christmas markets.... lights on palm trees aren't too convincing! :(
I love this. It made me laugh so much.
I have nothing wrong with Americans at all, being British. Only one thing
Language. Come one! Its our language at least give it some respect! You say the funniest things, like "fanny"
OMG, over here that means female genitalia not an arse :)
please, speak properly
oh, and our teeth are lovely... Simon Cowell anyone?
xx
J B HOUR - I would like to make a few comments if I may. I have read a few things (Americans and English) people have wrote and pissed myself laughing. This is just my thought not the entire English population.
Im from London, and the nightlife is amazing, girls in London are very good looking, and we do have a great sense of humour, and I am proud to be English. However, i do think in general that i would prefer to live in America, because our weather is shit, we have two options, cinema, or to eat out. Where as you have more otpions, bigger citys, better weather. We do have great bars, clubs and brilliant food, but our house prices are a fucking joke, as is our fuel prices, and cars...well there tiny piss porr little things that toodle about. So for me i do love the fact you have better houses, cars, and because of the size of your country, the women also, better. I think if a war was to kick off (WW111) it would be us that would unite and be the most powerful, and we would work well toghether.
I personally would like to move to the USA, because it has more things to offer me, than here at my age (28). I do love England, but for me, at this moment, i prefer working in the states.
I only stumbled across this site, so replys to email please.
British weather is temperate, our summers are cool, but our winters are much warmer, you compare Londons weather through the year to any other major capital in the West and you will understand. Its a far more docile climate to live in, no worrying about too hot, too cold, just meh.
This page is actually hilarious. if that's the American spelling, the S/G check might be American on this website ;p anyway right, it's like,
I'm British, thirteen.
Being able to kill more people is bad. It's being able to kill less or no people that matters, if you could win a war like that, THEN you should be given respect. I think it's disgusting how someone can take pride in the fact that they've killed. It's good to support your country, but it's wrong to be insensitive to peoples lives like that. Britain & America are guilty of that, I'm not taking sides.
Also, that native Americans would have been black right? A lot of Americans are white, British are white. mmm?
And then there is politics... Governments have to do the best for their country, diplomatic relations are IMPORTANT, especially with America, because of the access they/you have to weapons. It would be lunacy to pretend that we aren't vulnerable, but that's not a bad thing. It's not America being stronger, British people could manufacture them as well, (AMERICAN SPELLINGS :P), but we all know wars are wrong,..... and in Britain it would seem more scandalous, just sociological and cultural differences, it doesn't promote someone on some 'Which is the ruling kingdom' table. (Catchy, I know xD).
And also... Stereotypes, stereotypes. Prejudices, prejudices.
Fat people in America... well of course there would be more fat people, it's a bigger country. So there are more ghetto's, more illiterate people. Seriously. And THEN there are stereotypes over stereotypes.
Like, some British people think that American believe Brits to have fish and chips every Friday. I don't think that's true..
What's important is too realise that the world is going through some serious problems, e.g. climate change/global warming bla bla bla. So, arguing won't help. There isn't a black and white picture of who is better, the cultural differences of how people are raised may be responsible for a country being dominant in the specialising of a talent/ability, so what?
A minority of people disagree I would imagine, but, SO WHAT?
ok WOOW this is truly FUCKED!
cmon guys we all know if we united not even the fucking daleks cud mess with us.

Haha, you are such a retard, it's funny. English people don't all have bad teeth, you wouldn't know because you've never been to England before, I can tell. Pathetic
So is the USA immigrant free? Has everyone gone home to their land of origin? If I go there tomorrow will I only meet American Indians? Oh stupid me, even they migrated there.
first of all im not reading all of the comments above as im not stupid as all your gonna do is contradict each other... all im gonna say is WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION!?!!?!?
1)England was never invaded by Germany
2)It was an English commander who came up with the plan of D-Day
3)You did not save us in any war .
4)yes i will agree ur president is better than our prime minister but i think u'll find if our prime minister actually did what he should for once England would have nothing to do with American or Iraq.
5)America has never been taken over by anybody..yes thats true but honestly who would want to..
6)your a retard child porn is illegal.
7)you dont drive on the right side of the road there is no law saying you have to drive on one side so the is no right or wrong globaly
8)Yer well done you won your independance...so hat does that mean? Europeans fought back against the government its more of a civl war than Americans against everyone else
9)Since when did english people get bad teeth? maybe the people who go to america but all the ones i have seen have yellow-white teeth which isnt bad its usually yellow because its stained not becuase we dont know how to brush our teeth
10 and finally) NEITHER ARE BETTER as we keep arguing whos better... but as i have never seen an English guy write an article like this then surely English are better (NO WE ARENT BRITISH WE'RE ENGLISH) Yes we moan but we dont make up crap about being better we know we are better and we can proove it so shut up with the bollocks
Just live with the fact that neither are better WERE both crap DEAL WITH IT
Germany didnt invade England they just bombed it They did not take it over
uhh, any1 notice how the united states doesn't devote a special time of day to tea... we have better things to do than clean all day an drink tea, its called working out and HAVING A LIFE. anyone notice how all English people have bad teeth? GO FUCK YOURSELVES ENGLISH DICKS, ITS CALLED A TOOTH BRUSH. All i gotta say is notice how we are responsible for the fall of the Nazis in WWII, and the death of Saddam? Or *gasp* ELECTRICITY? cant live without that douche bags... Or how a bunch of countries based their constitution off of ours? oh damn, no one likes England now..
Go fuck yourselves
--England sucks
Aw, well, thanks America! Thanks for giving us electricity.
Electricity that needs oil, oil that's killing the planet and has hooked the world on it? If it wasn't for American's 'glorious' discovery then where would we be?
But even then electricity is a gift. Discovered by Benjamin Franklin was it? A founding father? Perhaps if you went to Wikipedia you'd find his father was born in England. Try not to take all the credit, eh, we wouldn't want you repeating WW1 and 2 now... would we? :)
How would you like to live in a world where almost nothing today exsisted. Because most of it was invented in Britian by British people in a time called the industrial revoloution. Most people in America are descendants of people Britian didn't want: Puritans, Criminals and Freaks. Yeah you can live without us! Have fun learning native american....
Yo! Hellooooo!!! Anybody there.....
oh you're there, sorry thought you were busy eating donuts and drinking cola to reach your American standard weight.
OK so the facts....
Russia beat the Nazi's while the Allies (UK, France, Free Polish forces, USA etc) kept the Germans busy and distracted them a little bit. I know being American means you rewrite history to your own liking but the Germans were well beaten on the eastern front and were crumbling.
Electric - ermmm believe it or not it wasn't invented dick. Electricity is a natural phenomenon so no one invented it. Franklin did invent the lightning rod though. But lets look at some of the other inventions that make use of Electricity;
Battery - An Italian
Dynamo (later to become the Generator) - A Brit, Michael Faraday
the Lightbulb - An American, you Edison he was cool
So the use of Electricity is certainly not an American thing.
As for the Red Coats that was a long time ago, a lot longer than what the Americans did to Native Indians of American and a whole lot longer than the Slave Trade - oh which country stopped the slave trade by intercepting American, Spanish and French ships and freeing the slaves? Let me think who was it - oh yeah the English.....
One thing you will never change is that you are the product of Europe - we discovered North American and we settled it. The current tenants are just there fucking it up...
America cannot claim electricity, it was discovered by a French surgeon and I might add the Electric Motor and the Electric Generator are both British.
Where would we be without those? You seriously believe Franklin could have harnessed lightning to power our countries? No, the Brits harnessed electricity, you just played with it.
British teeth are the healthiest in the developed world, look it up, its a very recent survey. America is obsessed with whitening teeth, but at the end of the day they are more rotten than much of the developed world.
P.S. the British have been using toothbrushes since before the Americans, you only started after you picked up the habit over here during WW2.
The Soviets defeated the Nazi, not the Americas, you jumped in at the last minute and continue to claim all the glory.
Your whole constitution is based off the English Magna Carta and Bill of Rights, so I guess those countries in essence based theirs off ours.
The tea drinking culture is pretty much in the past, its just a drink in the UK now. But nevertheless it is culture and the UK has been for the past 300 years one of the world biggest cultural exporters. America has never really understood refined culture has it.
Youre just sad that the modern world is based on the Anglo (English) system - even your own.
**THIS COMMENT IS WORTH THE READ**
Dear Sir,
Your "facts" are hilarious, as they are largely untrue.
First things first; you are quite right to say that Victoria Beckham is not a celebrity in the US (and yes she is quite a celebrity in the UK) although do you not think that the reason behind this is that your country is far bigger than ours.
Secondly, there is no correct side of the road. Although it may seem that the right is "best" to you and the left is more suitable for us.
Your next claim makes no sense, but the statement you make in it : "110,000 screaming fans who probably consume more alcohol during one home game weekend than all of Europe does in a year" is utterly hilarious, as if you had done your research then you would have noticed that the UK and the rest of the EU have very strong drinking habits (you Americans cannot compare to our drinking abilities).
Now down to the facts; you say that America has never been conquered and this is entirely true (only after we took your country along with most of the other large countries of the time to secure one the largest empires in the world as we know it: The British Empire). However, this is also down to the fact that your country is humungous. Now you also say that London was taken over by Germany, this is an utterly RIDICULOUS comment that is drasticly wrong. Germany never got close to invading London as we bombed the converted barges that they were to use for the invasion. You also say that the "U-S of A" protected Britain and that you saved the war in a glorious action montage! This is horribly incorrect, not only did the USA come in to the war extremely late but you also went in and went crazy! You destroyed towns, people's houses and people's businesses in a crazy attempt at a controlled take over. I am not saying that the UK were the main force of the war either though, but what I am saying is that the RUSSIANS were the main force of the war by far! This can be seen just by looking at the sheer amount of men that they lost (an estimated 8,668,400 men).
For such an immensly large country, you are such a primative and facist people. Now some facts about why the UK is better than America!:
The Beatles are English
The Rolling Stones are English
The greatest empires in the world was the Roman's and the Great British Empire
We have free health care
Oxford and Cambridge own Harvard and Yale
Your only 200 years old and you behave like mentally retarded children
Monty Python
We have a "Great" infront of our name
Orlando Bloom is English
For such a small country we have produced an amazing amount of brilliant actors to match yours
Your oldest monuments are not older than my house
The pubs
James Bond
A gang of British youths would destroy an army of yanks
And of course me! : )
Yours sincerely
A faithful Brit
**THIS COMMENT IS WORTH THE READ**
Wow, with all that incredible British intelligence and wit, you can only come up with: "Our entertainers are better than yours."
Just like your country, sour cream and your grandma, some things aren't good just because they're old.
Plus, as per your last comment, a "gang" of Yanks kicked the doodoo out of the British army. I don't see why Brits think they're street gangs are so tough, or why that's something to be proud of.
If we want to test toughness, the much older Dan Henderson (USA) beat the tar out of a much younger and more fit Michael Bisping (UK) in UFC 100.
Try again Faithful Brit.

most of the inventions you list are either German, Swedish or French. Electricity wasnt even first refined in America jackass, Benjamin Franklin just called dibs on the idea much like America called dibs on the oil in Iraq.
ACTUALLY LOOK IT UP,WIKIPEDIA.COM.TYPE IN AMERICAN INVENTIONS.OTHER COUNTRIES AND INVENTED SIMILAR THINGS BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE MODEL.MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE INVENTED THE CAR,RADIO AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF MODEL.PLUS THE TELEVISION AND THE CELL PHONE WERE INVENTED BY US PLUS WE HAVE MICROSOFT WHERE YOU GET ALL YOUR COMPUTERS SO DONT COMPLAIN TO ME.EVER HEARD OF BILL GATES..HE RICHER THAN YOUR QUEEN TENFOLD.AS FOR OIL IN IRAQ..WE USE ALOT OF OIL CAUSE WE HAVE 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAN YOU DO AND WE HAVE MORE USES FOR IT PLUS WE PAY GOOD FOR IT.
You're right. We couldn't life without them, not now. But ofcourse if they weren't invented we could of stopped some of the hazards today.
You want to be responsible for global warming? Drying the earth clean by sucking the oil from it? Threatening races of people, like the Nenets, just to get hands on the oil?
So, you're, correct me if i'm wrong, saying that America is responsible for a large amount of: carbon dioxide in the air, millions on deaths (motorcycle accidents, guns, robbers).
Bet then again, American people do originate from England.
And if you're too proud an American to accept that, then please... stop speaking our language as I'm sure with out it you wouldn't have created any of those things.
An English lassy and proud.
I agree with this statement including the youths against tanks. I have seen a lot of arson in England but other than that Britain is brilliant.
England = Small land, big dreams
(p.s most of what you said is obviously inaccurate, especially about WWII, learn some respect)
Alright, Brits and Americans. I have lived in both countries and I want to let everyone in on the truth...
1. For starters, both countries are arrogant.
2. Americans are loud and the Brits are stuck-up...
3. England has a lot more fat people than America... The myth that America has all the fattys is a total lie. England has McDonald's but without the Salad menu. They still fry their french fries in hamburger grease, not sunflower oil (the healthier American McDonald's choice).
4. Americans do have better teeth... I was actually asked on more than one occassion if my teeth were fake because teeth that look as good as mine in England are typically fake (I said no, I am just American).
5. Football (aka Soccer) is just as fantastic as American football. I think that more Americans need to get their heads out of their asses and watch some Manchester United football or any other team in the Premier League.
6. English food tastes better... but it is A LOT more fattening than American food.
7. Americans are more accepting of foreigners and other cultures... Racism is a lot higher in England. They don't like anyone except other Brits.
8. No stadium in the all of America could drink as much beer as a "football" stadium in England... or a pub for that matter. The pub is packed by noon in England and that includes weekdays. They even have playgrounds for kids at the pubs so never tell a Brit that you will drink them under the table, unless of course you are Scottish.
9. It is harder to make friends in England but when you do, they are a lot more loyal than Americans.
10. Both countries have beautiful beaches.
11. While the American women are better to their men than British women, British men are far better husbands than American men.... However, Irish men make the best husbands because they are romantics like the Brits and have nice teeth like Americans.
12. Americans are lot more positive than the Brits. We are not afraid to dream and make goals for ourselves. The Brits really like to complain about everything that doesn't go right in their lives.
13. While England has free health care, they also have A LOT more people on welfare (aka the dole). it is no wonder the taxes are so high... and I was in the hospital in England. I had never seen anything so disguisting in my life. It was filthy. My friend has a serious accident and the nurses were so unattentive, she had mold in her cast. I ended up taking care of her myself so that she could have some American medical attention. (i.e. cleanliness and close monitoring).
There are pros and cons to both. I could go on but i am off to bed.
1. Im not sure about there being more fat people in Britain.
2. Healthiness of the teeth really isn't a problem in Britain its just an old folk law probably taken from the times before the monarchs new sugar rotted them. (This is pre-USA) :)
3. All this stuff about more fat I think is a bit ambiguous. There is lots of salt in our foods but I wouldn't say there is any more fat and salad accompanies most meals.
4. The bit about us not liking anyone but Brits. Well... that could be opposed by the hard fact that we like to travel. Pretty much everyone one here has a passport and foreign holidays are popular. The USA on the other hand is infamously ignorant of foreign countries but i do not deny the diverseness within the country.
5. The NHS IS a great asset to our country and this is reflected by its desire to exist in other countries such as the USA. A reason why it does not exist in the USA already is the opposition by the rich who are far to greedy and selfish to be sharing their wealth for the benefits of others. Basic healthcare should be available for everyone despite the costs.
One more thing... as far as British youth taking an Army of yanks... I don't think so. I got in a punch up with a Brit in a pub and I head-butted him and broke his nose because he wouldn't stop hitting on me... And I am an American chick with no army behind me, sweetheart. Brits might have the sharp tongue but when it comes to a punch up... sorry, my money is on the yanks. lol. We have a lot more training in that department.
Babe, I'm a English girl. Your men are perverts and weak ones at that, one of them who claimed to be a marine got messed up by my boyfriend, he's 17. My bet is, bring it on bitch.
I wrote the comment about why the UK is better than America : ))
BUT, I was very drunk :)) , and in quite a patriotic mood after seeing 3 American men get beaten to the floor by 2 English men. Although, in retrospect, it was quite a horrible scene, I was very drunk and got caught up in all the drunken yells of abuse from my friends at the Americans. This argument was in fact, strangely, started by the Americans which is strange in itself as us English can be quite nasty to Americans if we hear your accents.
But anyway, I have to apologize about what I said as I'm sure most of you will have noticed that some of the information I gave about the war was slightly incorrect.
I am infact a lover of both countries and I don't like it when each of us post comments that are hurtful to either country. I find it strange that we find us, two super-powers of the current world (the Americans more so than the English due to a massive increase in people and therefore in money raised from taxes), persist in arguing which country is "better" than the other. We should be bigging-up each other about how well-established both of us are and the way that we "own" most all other countries, with our massive economical and warfare expertise.
The Americans are an amazing people as they have developed to be (in my mind at least) the most powerful country in the world (respective to power in warfare and also that they remain to have a hate of communism even in a massive country like theirs) in just 230 years of existance. I am a massive fan of the country and of Family Guy, and I most certainly want to go and live their when I am done studying dentistry in England!
The British are also awesome as we held one of the most powerful empires in the world for a long amount of time before giving most of it back due to fighting over them with natives and our good will. I also idolise the way that for such a small country we remain to have such a large influence in what happens in the modern world!
Ultimately, I have a great love for both countries and wish we would stop arguing! = ))
P.S Obama rules ... Gordan Brown sucks (we want a British Obama)
Thanks =))
An ever faithful Brit
But I will stick up for my own country and combat what "Anonymous" said on 27th of December which is that English people are fatter thatn Americans, this is WRONG!
According to a recent report that is completely accurate it is said that the rates of obesity in Enland and America stands like this:
USA: 34.3% obese & 32.7% overweight
UK: 23% obese & "UNKNOWN AMOUNT" overweight
Sorry America but we are thinner by quite a lot =(
xxxx
A few years ago Americas could say they were better than the british and have proof. Now not so much. British films are doing brilliant. British sport is doing brilliant, we happened to invent half of it, I mean the rules, not the basis, sure, the Chinese kicked a pigs bladder around, but we made it. British food is becoming well known, fish and chips anyone? We are all doing well. The language does piss it of, I think they should invent a new one and call it American, stop changing the words because your too lazy.
Overall we are both brilliant, but both shit. Do you lot know the Bush made up all that rubbish about Iraq having a nuclear bomb? Do you know how many people have died? Over 200 british soldiers have died because we listened to you, and we do quite a bit. If you want the British respect, stop dissing us. You would be no where without our help. And sure, Obama becoming president was a big thing, but we overuled stereotypes years before you, look up Margaret Thatcher. And it shouldn't be such a big thing if you have gotten over racism anyway.
Like I said, both countries are brilliant, both are shit. We have helped each other out in serious situations, and helped kill the innocent. We are two major countries in the world, and if this is what our civilians do, how strong are we?
America would be floating in space if it weren't for us by the way. And we would be walking up stairs losing weight if it weren't for you.
Britain is catching up on obesity. But America is a big country who invented McDonalds, what else could you expect? Football (soccer) is one of the most watched games around the world, but we do like American football, it just doesn't have the popularity that football does. American soccer does very well. I hope the England/USA games goes well, it'll be a tough call, but I think we could both go through.
Britain has had a brilliant empire, and gave it back freely. America is trying to get one, but that won't happen much. I heard one foreigner saying America is the big bully in the playground, and Britain is the smaller sidekick that does what they say. Which is totally true. Hopefully we will gain some sense and stop being your lapdog. You don't want that, we are the only country that stands by you no matter what. But with your power you do some bad things.
God save the Queen
And we know nothing about the American revolution or what not, we don't learn it in History and never will, so get over it.
NO DISRESPECT MENT TO YOU.JUST SOME OF THE OTHER COMMENTS MADE ME SO MAD.PERSONALLY I LOVE ENGLAND.I WANT TO VISIT THERE SOME DAY.MY AUNT IS ENGLISH AND MY MOMS CANADIAN PLUS I LOVE HISTORY SO I KNOW ALOT ABOUT HISTORICAL ENGLAND AND HAVE LEARNED TO LIKE THE COUNTRY.YOU GUYS DO MAKE BETTER HISTORICAL THINGS LIKE THOSE MASTERPIECE CLASSICS BUT WE MADE ALL THE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE ALL OF IT.THE BUSH THING YOU MENTIONED WELL HE SCREWED US OVER AND WE ARE STILL TRYING TO RECOVER BUT WE WENT TO IRAQ BECAUSE OF 9/11 AND THEY DECIDED TO CRASH OUR PLANES INTO OUR BUILDINGS THAT MENT THAT WAR WAS ON.IT ISNT OUR FAULT THAT YOU GUYS ARE GAINING WEIGHT.ITS A CHOICE..WE DONT FORCE YOU TO EAT IT.ALSO YOU GUYS COPY US ON ALMOST EVERYTHING CAUSE YOU WANT A LITTLE PIECE OF AMERICA EVERYBODY DOES I HAVE LEARNED.
I AWAIT FUTURE COMMENTS.
PEACE OUT
Dumbass. I would like to go over your point in order:
1. Victoria Beckham isnt really a celebrity in Britain either, more a salty land hag with the complexion of a donkey.
2. You do drive on the wrong side of the road. The way you talk you make it sound like America invented the car when Germans actually did. the only reason you drive on the right is because America thought. "Lets drive on the other side of the road and see if it catches on". You have more road deaths in America than the rest of the world.
3. Its not called American football, its called rugby.
4. In Americas history you have been under the control of England, france, Spain, Portugal, Mexico etc. etc. etc.
5. Child pornagraphy is more illegal in England than several states in America where some incest is legal.
6. King Ralph was a film that was based on lacking American comedy in British high society. You should be ashamed to base British culture on American films.
Furthermore the teeth in England ar far superior to that of America. the way your celebrities teeth are perfectly refined makes it seem like they would need someone to chew for them because it would hurt to much for them to do it.
I bet you think that stephen Hawking and hugh Laurie are American too.
Stop being so immature and grow a pair
1. I DIDNT EVN TALK ABOUT VICTORIA BECKHAM. SO DONT YOU FEEL STUPID.
2.WE DRIVE ON THE RIGHT YOU DRIVE ON THE LEFT.KNOW ONE IS WRONG JUST CULTURE DIFFERENCES.PLUS TO QUOTE YOU...."Lets drive on the other side of the road and see if it catches on". IT DID CATCH ON...OTHER COMMON WEALTH COUNTRIES WHO FOLLOW US...CANADA..AUSTRALIA.I REST MY CASE.
3.THERE AGAIN CULTURE DIFFERENCES...RUGBY FOR YOU AMERICAN FOOTBALL FOR US. THEN WE HAVE SOCCER WHICH IS FOOTBALL FOR YOU.
4.YES BUT YOU SHOULD LOOK MORE CLOSELY TO THAT HISTORY...ENGLAND ONLY THE NORTHERN AREA,FRANCE THE NEW ORLEANS AREA,SPAIN THE SOUTH WEST THEN MEXICO TOOK IT OVER.NOT ANY OF THOSE COUNTRIES COULD TAKEOVER ALL OF AMERICA.
5.CHILD PORN IS ILLEGAL.MORE MEN GO TO JAIL FOR IT THAN MANY OTHER CRIMES IT IS NOT TOLERATED.PLUS BACK IN THE DAY ENGLISH PEOPLE WOULD MARRY THEIR COUSINS EVEN IF IT WAS AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE SO DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT INCEST.
6.OUR COMEDY IS THE FUNNIEST AROUND.AND WE INVENTED DENTAL FLOSS SO YOUR WELCOME.YOUR TEETH WOULDNT BE SO BAD IF YOU GUYS ACTUALLY STOPPED DRINKING FOR ONCE AND BRUSHED THEM.ALCOHOL HAS ALOT OF SUGAR IN IT.
PEACE OUT.
I am just glad that it took an english guy to actually invent the world wide web (internet), thus allowing all you americans to slag us english off!!!! lol . Are you now rushing to 'wikipedia now to find out i'm right' ;-)
yo dumbass darpa created the internet
the part of the american government
My Love One

myself.looking forward to hear from you,thanks and God bless .
Best Regard,
Miss Sandy Johnson.
It is not that we want a piece of America, it is that some of your inventions are cool. Agreeing with statement above, look up Tim Berners-Lee. Renee whoever you are, btw, the anonymous wasn't talking to you, it was listing why the topic is wrong. And sure, years ago we may have been closely related, but incest is now illegal here, as it should be, your the country that fucks their sisters. America wouldn't be doing so well if we hadn't over took though, we built your foundation, don't forget it.
Both countries are great, get over it everyone.
Canada rules
Good God, the only way that anyone should be able to say anything is if you have lived in both countries. I have enjoyed living in both America and England. There are pros and cons to each country. We stick together because everyone else hates us. LOL.
English Military History in a Nutshell
Celtic invasions Circa 600 BC: The original Brits surrender to the Celts, inhabitants of modern-day France, thereby adopting Celtic culture. Unfortunately, the small amount of Celtic invaders prevented any improving of the British bloodline.
Caesar's expeditions to Britain 55-54 BC: Caesar takes a walk in Britain, making the Britons surrender twice. He is forced to leave due to troubles in Gaul, and, fortunately for the Brits, is murdered by men in togas before he can come back as he intended to.
Roman invasion AD 44: The Britons surrender, and the Romans are only deterred from going North by the Scots. Rotten weather and poor cooking, however, ensured that Roman Britain remained a backwater province.
Boudicca’s rebellion AD 61: The Britons are roused by a spirited lass and revolt. Unfortunately, their men were not half as brave as her and surrendered. This makes the Britons the first nation to have been defeated four times by the Italians.
Anglo-Saxon invasion 5th century AD: No longer having the Romans to defend them, the Britons swiftly cave in to the Anglo-Saxons. In other words, they surrender to themselves.
Viking invasions 8th-11th century AD: The English swiftly surrender to the Vikings, recurring to bribes in order to save their sorry asses. The Danes establish the Danelaw, a series of territories surrendered to them by the English, and receive frequent, massive bribes known as the Danegeld just to keep quiet. The English lost thousands of pounds in gold out of cowardice.
Norman conquest 1066 AD: The English surrender to the French after the battle of Hastings in what may be their swiftest surrender yet. The English elites proceed to speak French and be ruled by French kings for centuries.
Civil wars 11th-12th centuries AD: The English kick their own asses, culminating in the surrender of the English to the English.
Third Crusade 1189-1192 AD: Richard the Lionhearted (or chickenhearted?) surrenders to Saladin; he then proceeds to be captured by Austrians and is ransomed for a fortune.
Bouvines 1214 AD: The English get their asses handed to them by the French, and thereby surrender Normandy.
First Barons’ War 1215 AD: The English, in true English fashion, surrender to themselves. Honor is preserved, and the tradition of surrender is honored.
Second Barons’ War 1264 AD: Likewise, Rule I of English War is confirmed: The English, lacking anyone else to surrender to, surrender to the English.
First War of Scottish Independence 1297-1328 AD: The English get raped by their neighbors and surrender Scotland to them. In the battle of Bannockburn, Robert the Bruce invented the can opener.
Second War of Scottish Independence 1332-1357 AD: The English simply don’t learn the lesson from their previous whipping and come back for more. As usual, they surrender.
Hundred Years’ War 1337-1453 AD: The English surrender to the French, losing all their possessions in France save Calais, which they had received as a dowry. The most remarkable episode of all was the surrender of the English before a stubborn peasant girl. The English are extremely ashamed of this surrender and will refer you to the battles of Poitiers, Crécy and Agincourt… which, strangely, didn’t prevent them from getting bum rushed out of France.
Wars of the Roses 1455-1485 AD: Two years after surrendering to the French, the English are left without a playmate and must resort to surrendering to themselves.
Anglo-Spanish war 1585-1604 AD: The English, for a change, surrender to the Spanish. They develop a taste for their victors’ sangria and paella, and proclaim the national custom of going to Ibiza and getting wasted.
Anglo-French War 1627-1629 AD: The English surrender to the French after a series of botched up naval expeditions. This great English tradition is nowadays known as “pulling a Dunkirk” and has proved to be a time-honored method to avoid total ridicule.
English Civil Wars 1639-1651 AD: The English fight each other, and it is uncertain which side will surrender to which. Finally, the ugliest contender, Oliver Cromwell, wins, and obtains the surrender of the cavaliers.
Second Anglo-Dutch War 1665-1667 AD: The English surrender to the Dutch, a country a fraction of their size.
Third Anglo-Dutch War 1672-1674 AD: The English pull up their man-panties, only to get kicked by the Dutch once again. The English king considers planting tulips in Westminster.
Nine Years’ War 1688-1697 AD: England joins an attempted gangbang of France by a large coalition of European nations, but fails. Fortunately, the English get to apply Rule II of English Warfare, which consists in blaming others for their defeats, and attributing themselves their allies’ victories.
War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714 AD: Another attempted gangbang against France. The English, delighted to have a plethora of foreign flunkies to use as cannon fodder, send minimal amounts of troops and spend their time claiming others’ victories. The gangbang, however, fails, and the Austrian pretender renounces the Spanish throne.
War of Jenkins’ Ear 1739-1748 AD: The British forget their previous lesson about the Spanish, and, despite tremendous numerical superiority, get their asses handed to them by the Spanish at Cartagena de Indias: Over 10 British out of action for every Spaniard. The British manage to avoid surrender by reaching a vague settlement.
Seven Years’ War 1756-1763 AD: The British celebrate what is perhaps their first real victory against the French. Their ego grows accordingly.
American Revolutionary War 1775-1783 AD: The British get thrashed by a band of yokels with a little help from France and Spain. As a result, they surrender in Yorktown.
French Revolutionary Wars 1793-1802 AD: The British, along with their continental allies, are unable to get the French revolutionaries out of France. They retaliate by writing The Scarlet Pimpernel, a young ladies’ novel.
Napoleonic Wars 1803-1815 AD: The British decide to be cautious, and let their allies get killed for them in order to soften up Napoleon. After hundreds of thousands of Austrians, Russians, Prussians and Spaniards have died, they move in; after pulling a Dunkirk here and there, in a series of miraculous battles, they avoid their usual surrenders thanks to Spanish help in the Peninsula, as well as having their asses narrowly saved by the Prussians at Waterloo. The British, frustrated by their lack of heroism, proceed to develop some atrocious propaganda such as the Sharpe and Hornblower series.
Anglo-Afghan War 1839-1842 AD: The British decide to try the latest fashion of picking on weak, less modernized countries; this results in them fleeing from Afghanistan, pursued by an old man with a rifle from The Desert Song and his Afghan Hound, Lassie.
Crimean War 1854-1856 AD: The British honestly try to surrender, but are saved by the meddlesome French at Malakoff. They decided to celebrate, of all things, the Charge of the Light Brigade, probably one of the most absurd military cockups in history.
Anglo-Persian war 1856-1857 AD: The British claim a tie, and award several Victoria crosses for good measure.
The Pig War 1859 AD: An American farmer makes the British surrender the San Juan Islands. One of their most surprising surrenders to this day.
Anglo-Zulu War 1879 AD: The British are put to the test and succeed when faced with an opponent armed with sharp pieces of fruit. This is a fine example of the time-honored British tradition of colonial warfare.
First Boer War 1880-1881 AD: The British army surrenders to a rag-tag army of Boers.
World War I 1914-1918 AD: Thanks to French tenacity, the war goes surprisingly well; far too well, claims the British High Command. They therefore send Churchill to Gallipoli to get a nice surrender for their nation. Unfortunately, the ANZAC corps are not British and put up a heroic fight. British hopes for surrender vanish, and they must settle for a retreat.
Anglo-Irish War 1919-1921: The British surrender most of Ireland to the Irish; the shortage in potatoes causes a fish&chips famine nationwide.
World War II 1939-1945: After having pledged to help the French, the British take the “English way out” and pull a Dunkirk; this is made possible by the sacrifice of the French army at the battle of Lille. After returning to Blightey like whipped curs, they proceed to attack the Germans with their most powerful weapons: Songs like We’ll hang the Washing on the Siegried Line or The White Cliffs of Dover. These songs account for the piercing of over 100,000 German eardrums.
Likewise, the British decided to make a surrender à l’orientale, as it were, by surrendering 80,000 men in Singapore to the Japanese, and went for a stroll in North Africa where their army was chased by Rommel and a handful of determined Hitler Youths.
After a long, dreary period of listening to Churchill and Lord Haw Haw, the British are finally rescued by the Americans.
During the war, the English surrendered their supremacy at sea, which is nowadays being disputed by the Somali pirates and Canadian fishermen.
Suez Crisis 1956: When reprimanded by the Americans, the British, despite having achieved local superiority thanks to the Israeli and French, decide that it is wiser to surrender.
World War II (continued) 2005: Prince Harry, representing the British Army, dresses up as a nazi whilst surrounded by tarts, thereby surrendering to Hitler 60 years after the end of the war.
Today: The British are in a tight spot: Do they surrender to the United States by refusing to invade Iraq, or do they face an eventual surrender there as well? The British took the second way, and the long-expected surrender against the Iraqis looms larger by the minute. Unless – pardon me – you would prefer to refer to their surrender as a Dunkirk, or better still, glorious tactical retreat.
England sucks :D
American largescale military history in a nutshell:
American civil war - America buttfucks and surrenders to itself.
WW1 - America joins in the last few years sustaining CATASTROPHIC casualties.
WW2 - America repeats it's tactics, joining in the last couple of years and again got raped by the men with moustaches.
Nam - American forces fail to defeat an army of Tiki warriors armed with sharpened sticks and mangos. They sustain huge casualties...again.
Gulf wars - America fails to acheive it's objective sustaining huge casualties, seeing a trend yet?
I missed the revolutionary war, America looses 40,000 men England looses 17,000. And actually we didn't surrender, we just buttfucked you so hard you PLEADED for peace, read the facts fucktard.
Ongoing Iraq war - America sustains less casualties :0 but is instead fighting men in pyjamas.
Wow you guys suck. Oh, one more thing. Where's your fucking empire you little fucked up shit ;)
My sexual history in a nutshell:
your mum
your mum
your mum
your mum
your mum
your mum.
your mum sucks! Literally! :D
you mention nothing of britains majorly victorious battles in this and show a very biased view towards all of your acusations. You obviously have done your revision and know your stuff but have smudged the truth and pointed your biased against britain. this is therefore a useless comment as the truth is blurred from it by biasty (as i have had to repeat).
you also mention nothing of what the americans have done in thi... oh wait they havent as your country is only ~200 years old, my house is older than your country :).
americans have a tendancy to slate the english for begin "worse" than them even though we traded with you generously to evolve the economy in your country and it did seem to be doing well until your great repression and now the credit crunch due to businesses collapsing due to fraud in your grand country. i do not blame you for adding an insane amount of biased to your statement because to make it seem like the british "did bad" in these historical events you would have to take a harsh view on them.
in my own opinion both countries are trully 2 of the most prosperous and fair countries in modern society although with many race and facism problems in america you trail in englands glourious footprints.
All that I have to say is that most people that commented on this, both British and American, pay too much attention to the media. They feed you things blown way out of proportion.
Much of those who commented had invalid reasoning. Nobody cares about who has the better musicians or who has a higher life expectancy.
This is a never ending debate just like religion. It cannot be shown which country is better.
EVERYBODY just needs to be mature about this and move on - after all, it is a comedy article.
Also, what's up with all of the stereotypes? I am an American who knows that near nobody in Britain sits around and drinks tea all day.
If you want to be taken seriously, don't be a hypocrite and say that 'all Americans are fat, lazy, rednecks.' Everybody in the good old U S of A is different, just like in Britain. Are there actually rednecks? Sure there are, but a very small amount. There are probably just as many rednecks as there are Brits who sit around all day drinking tea.
Also, the fat Americans thing needs to be addressed. Do you seriously believe that all Americans are fat? Once again, you are believing everything that is thrown at you. The media WILL deceive you. Yes, about a 25% of Americans are obese, but what about the British? Show me a valid article that says that less that a quarter of British adults are obese.
I have tried to keep this as mature as possible.
That's incorrect. I'm British and enjoy nothing more than drinking tea all day. In fact, I'm doing that right now.
Agree with everything else though :)
I dont see why people insult Tea because its very healthy compared to what American's usually drink (coffee) but then they both have their ups and downs i guess.
personally i dont mind tea i will drink it once in a while and i know alot of americans are not fat (well i know a few that are teehee) but does it really matter? No.
So END THIS CONVOSATION ABOUT FAT'S AND TEA DRINKERS (and please shut the hell up about teeth ffs grow up already)
Also, what's up with all of the stereotypes? I am an American who knows that near nobody in Britain sits around and drinks tea all day.

Amen to that. There are many fat Britains, and I am sure there are many Americans with yellow teeth. Everyone is different, though some of course follow the sterotype.
OMG you're saying our footballs crap?? we inveted it you raciest idiot
Right, let's get things straight. America is a fucking bad country, shit people, rude, arogont, and plainly ignorant. Don't go making us look like a complete idiot, because quite frankley we're not. You may think that we are all 'Tea drinking mother fuckers' but to be honest, all you fat twats eat is burgers, and to be honest, some of you look as fat as vehicles.
England is a proud, honest country, and has fuck more history than you do. The amount of things that we actually invented is huge, and search it on the net about it. And as for the iPod, you can fuck out with all your little shitty thoughts thinking that you 'own' it, because a recent investigation shows that a British person invented the first iPod, and he was paid millions.
If you actually think, we've stuck beside you the whole fucking time, war, and bad times, and then some stereotypical person like you, decides to make a post as pathetic as this. I'd take a good long hard look at yourself and your own country, before making accusations about us, because beleive you me, we've done damn site more than you have ever done, and we are one proud and amazing country, despite all your comments about tax and pricing. Don't forget, tax is included here, unlike there.
So get a fucking life, and leave the UK alone, and start to appreciate what we've actually done for you in the past.
OMG OMG, I'm American and I didn't even know there were other countries on the earth!! This is amazing!! So.... do you guys have MTV?
instead of discussing if america or england is a better country how bout thinking when the marshens invade
i can argue every point anyone made
or can i?
Okay, this one American is ignorant. Germany never invaded England, if they did, I'm pretty sure everyone (yes you're included in this America) would be speaking German and listening to Hitler Jr on our tv.
But i'm not going to get into it, its petty and really stupid, idiots.
Oh.. and I read this from A-OK U.S.A- 'Speaking of, British comedy (with the exception of Monty Python) is fucking terrible. It's like watching a few losers who think they're smart and witty. Gervais, Russel Brand and Eddie Izzard can't hold a candle to Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks or George Carlin.'- Google Frankie Boyle and he'll shove a big black dildo up any American comedian's ASS.
Right, a) London was never occupied by Germans in WW2, what universe you live in I'll never know. B) america's all respected " forefathers" who may I add, are to blame for the shit the world has to put up with everyday, comprised of the most abnoxtious criminals from Europe and The UK, so in esscence we made you. And yet you still sit there on your poorly educated arse and have the ordasity to try and make England look less than you? The fact of the matter is America only highlights things that make you look good, everything you guys are taught is bullshit. In the "revolutionary war" you think you beat us? WRONG, if you read up on the facts, your casualties were so great over ours that at the end of our conflict with the French we gave you the option to have piece, and in the notes of the general of the British army, "acceptance of this opportunity would be highly advisable". You lost 40,000+ men, we lost around 17,000. Furthermore, you always brag about winning world war 1 and 2. Ready for more facts, you actually joined at the end of BOTH wars to make it look as if you had a right to claim glory, and you still took a pounding. Anyone can do that and still fuck up. Quite the contrary to what you were saying about British teeth, nobody I know has bad teeth, but all the Americans I know are fat as hell. The point is your nation is built on the shit of the rest of the world, nobody likes you, nobody's scared of you. You think you can try and run the world, like the naive teenager who thinks they know everything, well guess what, the world has a different agenda. You're not free, it's an illusion, you have to swear allegance to your flag in the hope that oneday, when your nation's finally revealed forbthe lying, evil shithole that it is, everyone won't run away somewhere else. But nobody wants you. As a member of the armed forces in the past, I kicked your silly little marine arses everyday just from the warm up. So before you get too patriotic about something that's come out of the worlds arse after a drunken night out, take a look around and stuff your stars and stripes up your ignorant little arseholes.
awww ur still mad that America won and finally figured out that theres more power to the people then you british people thought. Its ok dont cry it will just go down in history forever that no matter how much we were beaten down we still rose up and took the punch. Unlike you british we decided we want INDEPENDENCE if you know what that means since your country has never experienced Independece. and sit on the front door waiting 4 the queen to decide for you! Without ANY SAY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
America = Bad version of Britain that spells COLOUR AND HUMOUR wrong (THERE'S A FUCKING U, its OUR language, the ENGLISH language. You have an ADAPTED VERSION of OUR language; its English-American, WE ARE FIRST, not you).
Plus America has Rednecks, Lynching (did British people lynch Africans? Oh no of course not, we aren't fucking barbarians) and endless tons of overweight, middle class, middle aged wankstains.
You all sound like retards and need to learn to speak properly. Fuck it, I'd rather sound like a posh wanker than an ignorant douchemongredneckHURRDURRicanhastwinkieFUCKINGusedtamponcreature.
THERES A FUCKING U IN COLOUR.
you know what else theres a u in? FUCK YOU in fact theres three cant figure it out? then u must be a bloody brit
and its sad the way you say your so much better when we beat you as a tiny colony when your were at the hight of your power
Thank us (The English) for those words. What language do you speak? English. Not American. Your country is descended from England, so we'll allways be better. We (England) are the parents, you (America) are the child. An obese teenager who enjoys starting fights for no reason, (Current war) can't win without allies, (Britain, WW2) and lie on their arse all day when they aren't fighting.
at englandiswaybetter......
OMG!!!!! so that means that when the germanic tribes started to inhabit england, that means they are better?
or better yet, the neanderthals are better then everyone because they were one of the first?
think your replies through dumbass, and allies? we dont need any, it is you who needs us, you have 30 billion spent each year on military, if you checked right, we have 500 billion each year, use your tea drinking brain (i love sweet tea by the way) to figure out we dont need a small military like britian, when only 100 of you guys have died in iraq, meaning you guys do shit... so much for allies
Actually, England did far worse than just hang people. They also burned people at the stake for their religious beliefs and have you ever heard of being hung, drawn and quartered? Talk about barbaric!
Hello there, old boy. I just thought that I'd post a comment on this amazing computing machine while I drink my jolly cup of tea with the Queen. If I am remembering correctly, London was not invaded by Germany; we repelled them on our own, and as for my teeth? Well they're an absolutely spiffing colour, my old fellow. Oh, and did I spell colour correctly? Did I remember the 'U', the way it is supposed to be? Now, Her Majesty is calling, I must rush. Cheerio old bean!
I'm from NZ and have lived in both the UK and the US (presently). I realize now that US folk bang on about their superiority as a hang-over from cold war times (which are well over now but they aren't aware of this). The truth is Europe is so much further ahead in EVERY SINGLE WAY. The US is doing my head in, people here are stupid, too conservative, prejudice, their women are ugly and they all think their education is amazing - you should hear them wank on about thier ivy league schools which are infact rubbish. I can't wait to return to the UK where people are decent, honest, hard working, noble, wealthy and really just dont give a shit about what the rest of the world thinks - its amazing when you realize none of this matters and decide to be happy and do what pleases you - that's what I'm going to return to - London the eternal city!
ps check the latest GDP comparisons - seems EU has regained her wealth back!
quite funny how you bitched about how the UK is better, and then you said the UK doesn't care what other people think. you're a fucking hypocrite, and to further that, you're a fucking idiot.
Fact: Brittan is a bunch of fags... look at what crappy ass tv shows come from there. I'm looking at you gay version of "the office" and "the mighty boosh"
Fact: Brittan wishes they were part of Europe. They want so badly to be part of the whole Euro one gov't thing that's begining to happen over there. They wish they could be part of Europe lol Island monkeys
Fact: Europeans in general are even more arrogant and trashy than most US citizens. They live in tiny places and eat shitty food and then claim they are wealthy
Fact: The US military could blow that lil turd of an island up if needed without even getting off of our lazy asses
Fact: McDonalds is better than fish and chips
Fact: Bisbing got knocked the fuck out by Henderson :)
Fact: The gene pool over there is getting pretty thin. Those blue blood fucks have been fucking each other for like 1500 yrs trapped on that lil spec of land
Fact: Brttish folks are loudmouth braggarts by nature
Fact: Soccer is gay
Fact: If the US was allowed to fight a war the real way (without all the crybaby bs) shit would be different
Fact: English folks are fucking pale, ghastly, and, generally speaking, have a poor sense of taste in clothing
Fact: yall fuckers are better at cursing than us, I will never argue that EVER. But, the Irish put you to shame in that dept
I believe than not only is Britain better than America, but Every single other country on Earth is better than the United States.
And here's why:
- Americans are generally Ignorant: You live very insular lives (most of you). Just to let you know, the Country we live in is called The United Kingdom, not England. England along with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are just smaller countries (slightly similar to your states) that make up the United Kingdom.
- A lot of Americans seem to be really stupid. I believe this is partly caused by ignorance. Do any of you know what e=mc^2 means? Or can you point out Iceland on a map?
- A lot of Americans seem to be Warmongers or aggressive. Being able to destroy other countries doesn't make you the Greatest country on Earth, it just makes you unpopular if you are openly aggressive.
- It's annoying whenever you openly say that the United States is the best Country on Earth.
- There probably isn't much difference in obesity rates between the two countries, but having been to America, it seems that the Obese people in the US are a LOT fatter than the obese people here. Over here you just see fat people, but in the US I saw enormous people. I even saw quite a few that struggled to fit through doors. Also, I live in Northern Ireland, and I know hardly anyone with bad teeth. I have been to England quite a bit, and haven't seen many people with bad teeth. You only see the odd few.
- American TV is awful. All the live programs you have, like the news, all seem to be filmed with a low quality camera, and you have a bloody break every five minutes. Over here, hour long programmes are split up into 4 segments with a break every 15 minutes. We also have the BBC, which, in my opinion produces programmes of a very high standard (Doctor Who and Top Gear for example) without any breaks at all. The licence fee is worth it.
Now we come to Children's shows. Over here, we have CBBC, which produces ridiculously stupid shows. You have invented the abomination that is the Disney Channel. The shows on that corrupt Children's minds into acting like the spoilt American bitches shown on that channel. I know this from first hand experience, as my little sister's class is filled with people acting horrible towards each other, and speaking in mock American accents.
- Also, if you are Going to speak our language (English from England), at the very least, speak in properly! You have turned it into a corrupted drawl. The word Aluminium has an "i" in it, Words like Honour, or Colour have a "u" in them, words like Sterilisation, or Fertilisation, have an "s" in them, not a "z" (which is pronounced "zed" not "zee"), and there are many other retarded words you have invented for things like "Sweets" or a "lift".
- Finally, all American accents are really annoying. They make me cringe. The Belfast accent is soothing compared to them.
These are probably, mostly stereotypes, but the fact is, that they are stereotypes that your country has made for itself, and you should be ashamed of that.
Just to let u British people know i thought u were all great but now i just think ur racists, i mean who says black people their americans too and were proud. now that u dont have any respect for us we wont for u and btw MY DAD DIED BY IRAQ CAUSE THEY (IF U KNEW ANYTHING) CRASHED A TWO PLANES INTO THE TWIN TOWERS WHICH KILLED MY DAD NOW I DONT HAVE A FATHER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. NOW WE ARE TRYING TO PREVENT THAT HAPPENING AGAIN TO ANY OTHER PLACES LIKE WELL I DONT KNOW ENGLAND. WE DID NOTHING TO PEOPLE IN IRAQ THEY PRACTICALLY ASKED FOR US TO HELP THEM. U KNOW WHY THEY ATTACKED US BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT WE THOUGHT WE WERE BETTER THEN THEM. THEY PRACTICALLY AMMITED THAT THEY THOUGHT WE WERE POWERFUL. plus enstin albert came from america( EVER HEARD OF M=MC SQUARE?) WE PUT THE FIRIST MAN UP ON THE MOON WITH OUR FLAG AND THE FIRST FOOT PRINTS EVER ON THE MOON FROM AMERICA. NASA the place heard all ova the world about new space discoverys and inventions. We the people of the United States came up and rose against what WAS the most powerful country and WON. Our army was made out of farm boys they werent even trained and hell yea we still WON! Powerful country yea my but. Ok so we might have fat people but not every bodys like that. And plus we are the people who came up with nickelodian! And we came up with MICKEY MOUSE AND DISENY WORLD!! And if you british people are so nice then why are you so racist like calling African Americans black. Plus are movies are awesome ever heard of JAWS OR JURASSIC PARK OR SPIDER-MAN OR SUPERMAN OR BATMAN YEA US IDOIOTS MADE SUPERMAN!!! so why dont you just back off b4 you say something dumb. i use to respect you people but all you do is SWEAR OR BE RACIST!! And instead of bowing down to a QUEEN LIKE SLAVES WE STAND UP 4 OUR SELVES!!! And us using farenhit, driving on the right side of the road and not using the metric system well thats how we say WERE PROUD TO BE DIFFERENT AND TO BE AMERICAN.
Albert Einstein was German, it's E=MC2 and we don't bow down to a queen. She's just there. We respect her, but, have you ever heard of the Prime Minister, and plus wow you invented mickey mouse
this is an example of the shit americans are fed.... im sorry about your father and we were as shocked about the events on 9/11 as the yanks were, but an 8 year war looking for nukes that dont exist is not justified by a terrorist attack, and also saying black doesnt make us racist which is a rather shit point to make anyway, we do enjoy visiting disneyland and getting charged $10 for water but thats only 5 pounds cuz the $ is worth shit... and the reason you beat us in the revolutionary war is because of french allies, and the opposing force was fighting 2 other wars, (spain and france) and on the race subject again, we abolished slavery centuries before you did so shut the fuck up.....and your not different, your stupid
you people only think bout ur selves!! WHOSE HELPING AFRICA OUT WITH STARVING CHILDREN!!!??? YEA US AMERICANS. Idont hear England doin ant thing bout it, matter of fact they rather stay away from diseased people cause they dont want to get their skirt dirty. YEA NICE COUNTRY REAL HELP TO THE WORLD. WATCH ME BE YOU BRITISH PEOPLE!!! EW gross those BLACK GANGSTERS DOWN IN AFRICA NEED OUR HELP CUZ THEIR STARVING AND BEGGING US. WELL I SAY THAT IS RIDICULOUS. WHY GET OUR SKIRT DIRTY ITS NOT OUR FAULT. THEY HAVE DISEASE!! WE BRITSIH ARE VERY UNHELPFUL TO DA WORLD!! yea usamericans are doing every thing we hae to help them out. while you think they are a waste of time and money. MONEY MONEY MONEY is that what its alll about i mean you just wanted all the colonists money after the french and indian war.( BTW THE FRENCH HELPED US DEFEAT YOU WHILE YOU HAD TO GIVE PEOPLE MONEY TO HELP YOU FIGHT THE REVOULTIONARY WAR)
New Orleans. The President did nothing about that for ages. I know people who have been to Africa to help them. We have invented many things that have helped the world, the steam engine, the radio, the very first computer (analytical engine), hydraulics, fire extinguisher, thw world wide web, refrigerator, machine gun etc. just google english inventions wikipedia, youd be fucked without half those inventions.
ok before you go slagging off a country why don't you do you research. ever heard of comic relief? who last year raised around 82.3 million pounds (the equivilent of
126,330,594 US dollers) you Americans no nothing about the world outside of america.
i bet that for JUST ONE of you obese americans ANNUAL INTAKE OF MCDONALDS you could feed the whole of africa
look ok so albert isnt from america but do you know how much mickey mouse is important without him youd have no chilhood. DUH
Excuse you but we invented the:
1.THE INTERNET
2.Ferries wheel
3.Fire sprinkler (if u were in a fire you'd probably be dead)
4.Bubblegum (the best thing in da world)
5.Jeans (umm yea ur probably wearing some right now.. ur welcome!!!)
6.Teddy Bear (the best known stuffed animal u probably had when u were little)
7.Breakfast cereal (do i really have to explain how important that is to u...oh wait u just have tea and crumpets for breakfast)
8.Teabag (you might be familiar with this its the thing you put in hot water every day)
9.Crayon (ahh yes the colorful without the "U" colorful cloloring utensil)
10.Cotton Candy (the most awesome delicious thing at the carnival all though its really not my fav)

14.etc...9bulldozers,laser,E-mail,credit card,VIDEO TAPE, SUPERMARKETS,cash register,auto pilot on planes,zipper(the thing that is usally used to zip up those jeans that we also made),ADOBE FLASH,AND MANY MORE!!!!!!
WITHOUT THESE YOU'D BE IN TOTAL HAVOC.
(P.S. SRRY I DON"T SWEAR US AMERICANS ARE TOO GOOD FOR THAT)
Sorry, but the Internet was invented by a Brit named Tim Berners-Lee
Sorry again, but a Brit named Charles Babbage, invented the first crude computer like thing.
Then another Brit, called Alan Turing invented the first Electrical Computer.
All the other inventions you listed suck, in comparison to the British inventions of the Internet and Computer.
Typical American ignorance.
By the way i looked those up at wikipedia like you told me too and they do have all those things that us Americans invented.
P.S. WE ALSO MADE DENTAL FLOSS THAT HELPS YOUR BRITISH YELLOW TEETH BE CLEAN!!!
Plus since when are we back in the early 1900s with the whole "I am richer then you so i am better" act? BTW America isn't the country who SUNK THE TITANIC!!!!!!
As a british man born and bread , but out studying in LA for a year i have come to a few conclusion!
green house gasses which us brits are so worried about ! why? why should we be our country isnt going to change the pollution that the US car market does.
War i totally agree that when it comes to war uk and usa pretty much run together hand in hand, so there no augment there apart from the yanks are renound for friendly fire!
NHS enough said!
teeth really??? my self and all my mates have perfectly white normal teeth , have you ever been to Oklahoma?
we are just a small country half the size of california! yet we have had such a influence in the world , staiting the obvious , english language!
i dont want to bitch america out to much because its giving me a awesome opotuniey to learn my skill by the best guys in the business!
but home is home im proud of the fact that im british!

Fuckinghell. You are all so stereotypical! Neither country is better! We both resulted in millions of soldiers and innocent civilians dying, what a great friggin' accomplishment. We would both be nothing with each other.
Grow some balls, and get a life
272 comments later, and none of the beautiful, smart and witty ladies have tried to contact JB or I?
I mean, America/British...I really don't care. If you're female, you're awesome.
Guys, bugger off.
hmmmmmm this seems to have to grown into a large debate..quite intresting actually, and I found it extremly hilarious..
- on the subject of looks [which is insane that we're even argueiing about the matter] i find that both countries pop out some good lookiing people..but i do have to agree brits seem to have some unique features but hey, thats awesome annnnd it does bother me a bit how some of us americans feel liike they have to plastic surgery in order to look good but thats not all of us, some are naturally beautiful [lols we have a mix of alot of diffrent ethnic groups]
- yah we invented alot of stuff haha i forgot about that
- brits have awesome accents [I know, no point towards the arguement but come on, do you know what i'd do to have an awesome accent lol] but i knw some brits and they say that they like our accents which is aawesome because i forgot we even had any

-peace
to be fair im British and we've lost a lot of our colonies and because maybe America is more of a powerful country than ours now but on the other hand our country will always weigh a lot less than your country lol
and your country is very very ignorant considering you leave your own born and bread Americans in a country that you no your getting your ass whooped in. it is stupid the British army is the most organized military group in the world and i no that for a fact considering i am an ex-engineer for the country.
yea why don't we call this a draw and say both country's are better maybe in different ways but put together England and the United States of America(which i am from) we are more great then the rest of the world put together when we unite (that's why we are called the united states because we united to win the revoultion). England and America are practically the same so against the world were awesome!!!!
For any american to say that their country is better than any other country let alone England, could not make america worse. This is expressed by america's incompetence to realise foreign issues, one of the world's fattest nations and also one of the worst educated society in the world. Therefore no american could happily oblige to distinguishing their 'imaginary' importance over the world. I am shocked to hear that in America much racism continues. I have many Indian and Sri Lankan friends who all say the same about america, that americans have no maturity in the world. This is not acceptable in modern globalisation, and the only impression that you give to the rest of the world is that your shit. To be fair to americans they did elect Obama to be president, and over here in England we have much respect for him, but just because you elected a good man doesn't make you good. I could carry on with the problems with modern day america but I hope people realise the point that I am trying to make so that you could go about improving in your own way the USA, but if you have no regards to my words than that is your problem and i couldn't care less because a) i enjoy making fun of america and b) the buddha once said life is a self-journey so in other words you would have to learn for yourself the hard way. p.s. please don't get involved with another Bush or next we could be facing global nuclear war.
IF ✌ YOU BRITSH PEOPLE ARE SO MATURE AND SO SURE THAT UR COUNTRY IS DA BEST THEN WHY DO YOU FEEL AS IF YOU NEED TO DEFEND IT. IF YOU KNOW ITS SO GREAT SHOULDN'T ENGLAND SPEAK FOR ITSELF NOT U SPEAK 4 ENGLAND??
ANSWER THIS: WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO SAY SOMETHIN IF ITS SO GREAT(NOT)!????
same goes for you. if you americans think you guys are so aewsome then why say something to defend your country? and to answer your question we brits do that to teach you americans and let you people know how grest we are and that we(even if we are a small country) can kick your ass.
The One Football Thing...
Never Understood That, Why Would You Call Football, Football In America, American Football Players Hardly Ever Use Their FEET To Kick The BALL. Soccer, Also. WTF?
hey why you BRITSIH PEOPLE SO ANNOYED WITH ARE FOOTBALL WHO THE HELL CARES IF YOU BARLEY KICK THE BALL ITS THE WAY WE PLAY IT!!! so get the hell off our backs bout it it doesnt have anything to do with you.
WE AMERICANS LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT AND WERE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN SO GET THE HELL OFF US BOUT A NAMEE OF A GAME U DONT EVEN PLAY.
PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW IM FREE AND I WONT FORGET THE MEN WHO DIED WHO KILLED THOSE BRITSH AND GAVE THAT RIGHT TO ME SO I PROUDLY STAND UP!!
Your proud that your men killed the British? Thats low. I understand that you would be proud of your country.. but seriously.
And by the way, stop acting like America is the only country thats free. There are other countries that are just as free as America, only most people don't know because you Americans go on and on and on about being free 24/7. We get it now. Spare us, please.
Anyway, most of the British don't find it annoying that you call American football, "football". We just find it funny.
I kind of thought the article was funny because the guy who write it might have been joking. I don't know now though. If you get a laugh out of reiterating very worn steriotypes all the power to ya, i know i find them funny.
The comments on here are even more retarded than the article itself. Its funny but calm youselves, neither america or england have any power anymore, China are going to nuke the shit out of us eventually anyway.
WHAT!!!???? China is probably gonna die of polluted air before they can even get to us!!
CHINA IS POLLUTING DA WORLD THEY GONNA DIE JUST BY THEIR OWN AIR!!!
you do know that an average family in china has a very low carbon footprint, and most of it's pollution comes from factorys making stuff for other contrys. Most of this produce goes to America.God you are so thick. By the way i think it's horrible that one or two people make such a bad reputation for a nice contry.
here ill end the whole argument america iz better than england there its ova bye now pip pip cherrio MF
Surprise! Trust Americans to take the lazy way out! Nevertheless we have to face it that americans are stupid and their country isn't as good as it seems to them. I think that we can all say that most of the world thinks america sucks but america still carries on ignoring us. Who knows america could turn out to be a great country in the world but at the moment it could not be established as a good country due to the controversy it brings i.e. on this debate. I you think that I could be making a valid point please feel free to express your feelings and change america, but on the contrary if you think i am talking bull-s**t then please feel free to keep your comments to yourself, as you'll be wrong.
ok if you insist ill reply, look if america isnt so great then WHY DID IRAQ BOMB OUR TWIN TOWERS( WE DID NOTHING TO THEM)??? OH THATS RIGHT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THEY BOMBED US CUZ THEY THOUGHT WE WERE BETTER!!
P.S. MY DAD GOT KILLED IN THE TWIN TOWERS ATTACK SO DONT EVEN THINK BOUT SAYING WE STARTED THIS WAR WE DIDNT ASK FOR IT THEY DID!!!!
america was only a good target for al-qaeda, because a) you are predominately Christian or Jewish - note they are not muslim so it would not be liked by terrorists, whereas england is better with a range of cultures (so we can teach you where a Hindu or a Buddhist might come from in the world, as you wouldn't know) and b) you were very anti-terrorist with your torture centre for terrorists (or mostly the case non-terrorists) and of your suspicion of weapons of mass destruction that you think they have - thats why you invaded iraq. Well if your suggestion was sooo correct than why haven't we all died in a nuclear explosion?
British lad here, travelled extensively through america, perhaps more than 90 percent of americans themselves, so my opinion is one speaking from actually going there, experiencing it first hand, and not forming opinions like my fellow brits, and ofcourse I have travelled in my own country!
America it's a great country but has it's problems, Britain is a great county and it to has it's problems. America does have an excuse, it's still relatively new and is still learing to a certain extent. It has though achieved so much in such a short space of time. Britain is much older, and yet still makes mistakes.
Lets wrap this up there is good and bad in both nations
Firstly The War of Independence was started because the Engish peop;e REFUSED to pay for the American people...Read your fucking history you twat! In a sleepy town in a colony of his Majesty a bill was passed that stated the then American's Which were ENGLISH decent paid for themselves instead of us paying for you!!! You all decided to go against it so therefore starting your independence thingy. But listen here you are all all decended from us! The only reason we lost was because our King was mad! If we had HENRY V thats 5th for you you would have been battered! (ASK THE FRENCH MATE) You all have no morals (Oh no new orleans lets go around raping people) Pearl Harbour 'We were taken by surprise' TWO YEARS IN TO A GLOBAL WAR!!!! MORON!!! Also Churchill's mother and wife was American and he was offered the chance to run for President and his answer was to say that if hisfather was American he'd of done it! Im saying that with out England you would have been Spanish decent! That right Mexican looking mother f**kers which isnt as bad as you!!!! RULE BRITANNIA!!!!!
Oh and George Washington was decended from Georgies sheep farmers dear 'Whyhey ya buggas'!!!! 'The boats coming in' I dont really need to ask which vanquished nation you hail from cuz I know? If you had to summon up the words of Britain the word you would be looking for is 'GREAT' .The clue is in the name! You have a dream you Americans, we dont have a dream us British you know why? Because were Awake!!!! What is that dream of your's? 'life, love and the persuit of happiness?' bunch of twats! I'd be embarrassed to write that down if I was you! Your beautiful people but if American's cant explain something its Aliens! At least Bristish people are prepared to admit when were pissed dear! (thats drunk in our language thats it Englsh strangely enough its yours) We dont have Earthquakes in England you know why? We dont have it coming. Come on, people who build thier town or whatever on the San Andreas fault really have it coming! Infact its not San Andreas fault its yours, for building it thier!!! Classic American thing trying to palm the blame on some mexican. Forget the Alamo!!! We never put a man on the moon! What would be the fucking point? Ay? You were all banging on how you got thier first but, no one else was trying were they? The moon was never going to be part of the British Empire was it? NOPE! Thier was no one to give it back to once weve done with it. No point in going to the moon, trial by democracy thiers no Bastard living thier is there? Why do the British, the very people who inventred gravity want to go thier? The moon should have been left to the business of tides, warewolves and periods! (thats a womans monthly to us) One mans silver bullet is another womans bar of chocolate! Thats right you might have noticed were seperated by a common language and a huge ocean 'Thank Christ'!
Oh ang on so London never got Bombed! Were got bombed by Alquieda (how ever you spell it) and you know what! We were bombed constantly by the IRA and you lot gave the money for the weapons!!! My nan was was Irish, I remember her being spat on because of this reason here and you know what im English. One rule for one and one rule for Americans! Twin towers was terrible the bastards that did it. And all this 'he died in the war' Is terrible but its a war people die i'm afraid, as terrible as it is it happens. Everybody is responsible for thier own destiny. If someone goes to war and dies then they knew that it was a possibility. I'm not saying its fair or right but war is war! Bombing anything is wrong. Infact its damb cowardly! As for the members of that muslim group over here the government know where about they hide. I could bloody tell you. It Birmingham!!! UK. Sparkhill, Sparkbrook, Moseley! You look at the terrorist that attacked London that os where they are all from and are still being found! The British government are afraid to act! They are thier I'm telling you!!!
You're a retard!
Britain won the war with more help from the French than the Americans. As was said before, you entered one year before the end of both World Wars shot a couple of planes down then made 500 films about how brave you were.
When you read a book do you start from the right? No? When you do anything do you start from the right? No? So why do you drive on the right hand side of the road?
American football - America's gay answer to rugby! Try playing without tampons strapped to your body!
Lastly, why do all Americans think that they have wonderful teeth and that Britains do not? Considering our economy and standard of living is better and higher than your's, it would serve to think that our health is better than your fatty retard health!
Trust me, you wouldn't think much of your teeth after I had seen you!
Signed: A Britian - that small country that owned you for quite a few years and yet you have never owned us!
STFU!
" Britain won the war with more help from the French than the Americans. "
I agree. The French were fighting a delaying action against the German assault while the Brits were retreating across the English Channel.
Oh yeh,
If you want to get an idea of the prick who writes an article like this and then has the cheek to say we're arrogant, then just look at his pictures!
LMAO
Actually during the war of independence, many americans won't know this, The two sides consisted of mostly English descendants and English people that had moved from England to America, and Native Americans, whereas on the other side there was mostly Spanish and Germans and other Europeans. That's right we were on your side! You Americas won't believe me but it was true! The old americans adapted the story so that it seemed that the americans were 100% successful. Suck on that americans! How do you like it that your 'original americans' were liars!
Well, if the English and Dutch along with other nationalities moved to the Americas, wouldn't that make them citizens? And also, it's pretty obvious that there were English decedents in the Americas since England wasn't pious enough for some people. Saying that you can find people with English blood in their veins in the Americas is just like saying that you can find Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Viking or French blood in the UK.
We have all done our terrors. The English trying to wipe out the aboriginals in Australia. America trying to wipe out the aboriginals there.
You have to give credit where credit is due however. England has been around for a long time even while being surrounded by potential enemies. America has accomplished a lot in its short lifespan.
Both countries have their castes so to speak. And quite a few of these are looked down upon. You can find obese people in the United States as well as England. You can find people with bad hygiene in both countries. You can find that dumb people have been involved in politics in both countries. Probably a bit more poverty in the US, but that is mainly just there to keep the middle class in line and afraid.
Football. It is a term that is and was used for 3 major sports. Rugby, Soccer and Football. Rugby got it's name from Rugby School where the rules of football were changed to a more aggressive contact sport. Soccer comes from the term Association Football which was meant to give it a different name than football. After a while it became Assoc. Football and then soc football. And as rugby became rugger, soc football became soccer. So it is actually a term made by the English governing body at the time. And as "lazy" Americans we just stuck to Football. Feet are crucial to game-play as opposed to contrary belief. The best examples are field goals and punts. A bad punt can lead to a lost game. A missed field goal can lead to a lost chance at the Superbowl *cough* Chargers *cough*.
I'm pretty sure we all say shit about our own countries, but when someone else says something about ours we feel the need to defend it. I live in Norway at the moment and I hear Norwegians say shit about their own country all the time, but I am sure if I had said the same they would just rap on about America.
All of this fighting over the internet is pointless really, as you see as two countries we've been arguing since the United States of America became it's own entity with it's own people and beliefs. Sure there are religious extremists, but at the time when King Henry the VIII, I believe, decided to not bow to the pope..that can be considered pretty extreme. We are however entitled to our own opinions and personally I just thought the original post was humorous. Lets focus on things we all hate together. Like hippies and communists and french people.
Although, you have to all admit that even though Obama might not become the best president to ever grace any political system, that he has accomplished something long said impossible. Becoming a president with dark skin. And I say dark skin cause truly among the religious fanatics anyone with darker skin or different facial structure is seen down upon. Just give him time. He can probably accomplish a lot within one full term, let alone two as opposed to Bush Jr. accomplishing jack shit beyond choking on a pretzel. I'm not gonna say stop hating on each other, cause that won't happen, but at least consider the good parts of each country after wards. We all think our country is the best and that is a good thing. Every country needs patriots willing to fight and prove their country is the best, otherwise we become just like the French. So to all you patriots out there, happy trolling!
why do you want to make fun of France you fucking retard, they are the ones who helped you gain your independence.
You know don't you realize that Britsh people are the ones mostly on this site talking crap about The United States of America?!!? If you British people are so nice and proper WHY ARE YOU SAYING STUFF ABOUT AMERICA IF YOURE SO GOOD, YOU DON'T SEE US AMERICANS ON HERE TALKING CRAP ABOUT BRITAIN. I MEAN SOME OF US DID BUT ITS MOSTLY BRITIAN!!!
P.S. ALL country's have their up's and down's, wrong's and right's, and good's and bad's. At least were not afraid to amitt that. Why are you so afraid then?????
P.S.S. I LOVE EVERYBODY INCLUDING ENGLAND TOO PEACE LUV<3:);) YA
do you no what i think, i think americans are just jealous of us everything we are is just better than americans we are skinny they are fat we are clever they are thick i.e george w bush. where everything they want to be
I am from America but I have travelled to Europe. I loved it and I can't wait to go back but both sides are wrong here. THE BRITISH AND AMERICANS ARE ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME. The only real difference is the accents. When I was in Europe every country we were in the people were quite except the UK. The British act just like Americans, loud, drunk, funny, and always wanting attention. The only real difference is the British are much more hypocritical, they think they are so much better then Americans. AMERICA IS STILL A BABY AS A COUNTRY, OF COURSE ITS GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. AMERICA HAS A LOT MORE LAND AND PEOPLE. IT ALSO HAS A LOT MORE DIFFERENT RACES AND RELIEGIONS. I WOULD LOVE FOR THE BRITS TO COME TRY AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS, ATLEAST US AMERICANS CAN GO GET SOME SUN ON OUR MANY, MANY BEACHES. P.S. WHERE DO MOST OF THE WORLD'S MUSIC, MOVIES AND MEDICINES COME FROM? YA AMERICA, FUCK YOU YOU IGNORANT, HYPOCRITICAL, DUMB ASSES.
OK wait - You said both sides were wrong? Then later you went into an angry rant against Brits? You said that Brits are more hypocritical, and they think they are better then Americans. Take it from someone whos LIVES in Britain - most British aren't like that (most of them aren't attention seekers either). Seriously, if anyone is hypocritical, its YOU (and I really mean you, not Americans).
You called us ignorant... that says a lot coming from someone who probably faked a trip to the UK.
It's people like you (idiots) that give your country a bad reputation.
Don't invite them to America. They'll tax us again so they can finance their empir ..... ahem .... Commonwealth ... wink, wink.
England rules, we didn't get invaded in ww2 and, we MADE the usa, and we are clever, unlike everyone from the us
ACTUALLY america isn't better than the UK. if it was not for the UK your hollywood would be pointless no tv would be ever made and all your hollywood would be down the drain. also britain was the first country to even air movies another thing america stole just like the language. if it was not for the UK you would not even fucking be speaking the language you speaking. your the country with no brains you have to copy our language. it proves we your mother country so you can go and fuck off. if it wasn't for the phone also made by a British inventor. all them private important phone calls when your wife is having a baby and in Hollywood about phoning them shitty American actors who can't act you sometimes after hire British cause we had more experience we was first. doesn't matter how many movies u make we had more yrs of experience we was first. well like i said if you dan't have a phone made by us your wife would not phone appointments or taxis to get to the hospital and she would have it on your clean living room floor and you be left to clean up the blood. the only reason america seems more greater now is the fact that your the supernation now but britain was twice the supernation your ever be ! did you know England was winning the Independence only until the french shown up being traitors on your side and then we could have still win only fact we surrendered yes we didn't retreat like cowards we just put our hands in the air. but it is known Britain actually let you win because we so fucking generous we let the Muslims walk all over our country in today's world and it ain't even there fucking country. we do what ever they say. you surprised you won yourselves that's why you even put it in your national anthem and get tearful every time it is played you big pussies. it proves we your mother country you like us just bigger. only cause you fucking stole our language. we also kindly given u that 2 you speak it remember. we enslaved u. least we ain't fucking snotty like u lot and you gonna ona bout us with the stiff upper lip. when you had that bridge that collapsed the girl on the news who was AMERICAN said American bridges shouldn't fall down. all fucking bridges shouldn't fall down Britain American France Haiti black yellow white con pink you should respect Britain for allowing your victory rather than slagging it off like yay we won we are the best fuck u Britain. remember we let you win. that changes everything
how the fuck do u think you got that fucking statue of liberty. if it wasn't for the french backstabbing us and giving you extra troops to win. they would never have given you that monument in favor of them aiding you. yet your the ones supposing to be given them the monument for aiding you. and you still never give them any respect today all u call them is pussies. your just a ignorant fake friendly arrogant country that deserves to be the rainy cold island you talk about Britain having.
The United Kingdom discovered America even if it was by accident WE STILL DISCOVERED IT. we still are the motherland of your country . to be honest black Americans should be brothers with the white Americans not calling them the ones with the whips. white British enslaved white and black Americans when they captured it and owned um till white Americans and black broke free but white Americans was the only ones to be allowed to join the ranks which also made black Americans mad at them 2. but this truth has been grad fully been rumored into another segment and fake matter known as Chinese whispers. black and white Americans are AMERICANS they are brothers and sisters . infact y,all should be mad at the British and not being racist but naturalist towards them. but you don't just with your crappy stereotypes. but really y,all should just get over it ! it proves England owns your asses. WE DID WIN but FRANCE AIDED U AND DID NOT AGREE IT'S NEIGHBORING COUNTRY WAS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT SO THEY HELPED YOU BRAKE FREE AND REALLY THE FRENCH WON US AGAIN !!!! and we retreated. America is overrated. but because The United States and France was there that day them 2 become the official countries above the UK in the best army poll around the world. but these days if france had a war with us we would totally kick their ass.
and the only reason England lost that day is it won 1 country and was tired it could not fight another. England is better than The USA . you judge by scenery and the Super nation label but that is an optical illusion . if it wasn't for England inventing the Tv your movies would be Irrelevant if it wasn't for The England inventing the phone your Important phone calls would be pointless if it wasn't for the engilsh language you speak you would be the retards and the only country that is hushed or you would be speaking Latin and if it weren't for us even discovering you you would not exist so shut the fuck up !
ya like who would wanna speak Latin you soon choose to speak engilsh so respect us. Latin is the only official country language no longer in use. well America and Mexico are the only 2 neighboring countries to be using other people's language Usa engilsh and Mexico Spanish. ever thought u be the guys speaking it especially when your neighboring. the Romans spoke it too which is Italy (Rome) and Romania but even they discarded it. Italy speak Italian and Romania Romanian which i guess is an update version of Latin but Italy has a new language all together and America just copy us.
what a massive cunt
few reasons why WE beat YOU:
english swear better, words like bugger, arse, wank, toss, poppycock, codswallop, berk, plonker, twonk, and the proper uses of the words cunt, fuck, shit and simple uses of the words piss and poo.
no matter how hard you try we will hate the french more
British comedy is amazing, we understand sarcasm a hell of a lot better, irony better and self deprecating humour.
we spell things correctlly i.e COLOUR, HUMOUR and so forth
the traditional english pub
we have a stiff upper lip
the loch ness monster...
all th best film villains are british
americans think they have old iconic monuments... my house is probably older
we founded you
black pudding and jellied eels
full english breakfast
we have our own place names wthout putting "New" infront of other place name that are stolen
we had a great empire... your still trying to find one
We can pronounce simple words like 'aluminium' and 'nuclear'
we dont infest our cinemas with shitty chick flicks with alec baldwin in
we are not so lazy that we have to drive to the shop 20 mins away down the road
accent
football, our football league our great football history. (not cuntball the gaame you play with fat men who run into eachother with a ball thats not actually a ball....)
Great Britain has 'Great' infront of it... America doesnt
Americans take things horribly seriously, we moan and abuse people and thing 24/7 co its really funny and therefore rascism here is really funny... cos nobody takes it seriously! we laugh it off, i have many nig friends, yid friends, muslim friendsn etc (funny enough no chink friends... hmm)
we have watford
london
chaz and dave
english charm (lol)
toung in cheek humour
cheeky cockney blokes singing knees up mother brown
big ben and the london eye
british boxers are actually better these days.
Besides jellied eels, which are possibly the scariest thing that you could ever try to eat, you have made a number of perfectly good points. Time for afew more.
Rugby/ American Football
USA Protection : Helmet, shoulder guards, box (you might call it a cup) protectvie padding, gum guard
Rugby: Gumshield. Maybe a rubber helmet if you've sufferd a large amount of concussion in a previous match.
USA Match: ATTACK, have a rest. DEFEND, have a rest. ATTTACK, have a rest (etc)
Rugby Match: CHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGEEEEEE
(We do have small amounts of downtime while waiting for a scrum, but thats about it.)
USA Injury : Ahh sir, my ankle sprained.
Rugby injury: yeah, my leg isn't moving any more...maybe I should go off (Seriously, we play with broken noses, chipped teeth, anyyytthhiiing up to a grivious bodily injury)
I truely do think that in a full match, USA, without thier padding or protection, would find themselves wincing, crying and falling over after afew tackles. Also, were not allowed to take roids for stronger bodys during training :) .
Hence Rugby wins
Okay, next onto the army.
Okay, a given fact, you have a big army, quite decent size.
Another given fact, they are normally poorly trained and equipped with an out of date main wepon (m4 anyone?)
Now you did help us in WW2, but if you had helped at the beginning, then maybe we wouldn't have had to lose half or russias male populace and a shitload of husbands and fathers before you stepped in.
As someone above said, Japan attacked because you cut off thier oil in what was called a "world war". How could you have been, surprised, by the fact they attacked you in return?
Nuking japan. One simple word. Coward. Bombing, not even a military installation, or maybe thier goverment headquarters, no, you bomb an innocent city full of people who were not soilders, almost all of them just usually every day japs (excluding the ninjas....and that is a joke by the way.) If you were a smaller country, then maybe I could understand it, but you wern't, you were ffiing gigantic, and had won the battle of the pacific, yet you couldn't bare to lose anymore troops (After russia lost 13 million, britain 400 thousand est, and france 250,000, and you had lost under 300 thousand.)
Next. Soccer!!! or football..lets see.
Our league is better.
Our players are better (Don't say David Beckham, he's old and past his time. Makes me laugh to think he got employed for a team)
Our players get paid more
Our sport of "football" is more populer then your sport of "American football"
Just on a side note, how arrogant is it, to steal the name of another sport, mangle the rules and regulations so they are the exact same of another stolen sport, with abit of added protection, and then call it your own, therby making it almost impossible for anyone else to play. Oh, and when you see some kids playing with a football, cept thier carrying it and running around. Thats not your sport, cos Im not seeing any big pads all over them, thats rugby.
Oh, and someone might say "In our football, it takes real skill to kick it where you want it to go, thats why we called it football"
Yeah, right....thats why your carrying it around is it, barely ever kicking it?
So football wins.
Next. HIGHER EDUCATION
Hardvard (Sp?)...a very nice, quite good uni
Ivy League (Once more Sp?) once again, same as above..i think.
Oxford: People come from all around the fuckin world to get in this school. We have taught some of the greatest minds of the world at this place.
Cambridge: Slightly worse at english then Oxford, this place rules the roost for any, thats right, ANY sort of mathamtical education.
And you have "football" scholarships...wait, so you get an education for being good at a sportt. Here in england, you choose one or the other, smart or good at running away from big sweaty guys trying to pin you to the ground (Or is that just American Prisons?)
Hence, Oxford/ Cambridge win.
Next, Conquering.
Ok, no one has ever conqured America, but shall I tell you why. BECAUSE CEPT FOR CHINA, YOUR THE BIGGEST COUNTRY ON EARTH. The way you act, its like being proud to be a fat kid who can pin a skinny kid on the ground by sitting on him! It makes no sense..
Now, I can agree with you, england has gone over alot of conquering, retakings and rebellions. Shall I tell you why, cos our country is older then yours is. We've foughts romans, vikings, saxons, gauls (Old french) and many others. We've lost, sure, a number of times. But a majority of situations, England, the smaller, tinier rainy island, has beat the living shit out of the bigger european countries, before smacking thier arses and sending them home.
Now, England, has yes indeedy, been conqured plently of times. But the UK, th united kingdom, has never, ever been taken over.
Now put it in reverse. America has never, ever conquerd a single other country and taken its for thier own. We have. We had an empire the size your average americans boxer size (Thats another joke by the way)
So England loses, but the UK wins.
Technology.
Fair enough, America wins by size, I can give them this.
Economy.
We both lose, swistserland wins.
History
England is older, hence England wins. Simple I think.
Manners.
Were not posh, we just dont has nasally voices and speak proper english.
Also, we don't have a gun for every man women and child in our nation.
Hence, England wins.
Okay, thats my 2 pence, rolling its way down the stairs of this debate, I will be back to check on it.
im british and guess what, i dont care about this article coz it says its a comedy article. I have nothing against america anyway its life expectancy is only 3 years shorter that doesnt mean everyone lives to that year its just a average. And come on brits face it they took the Americas from us by force. Im proud to be british because britain isnt full of bad teeth tea drinkers. America can make its jokes if it wants and england can make their jokes, America isnt full of fat people and thugs and isnt full of retards, i knew a american person and she wasnt that bad. So guys take a joke
geez you really are a retard... your comments show little to no degree of correct historic value what so ever just inane squabble about how good america is... yet you go on about how brillant you are and have the nerve to call other arrogant n ignorant and stupid, which makes you a bloody hypocrite!
As for the war.. dont make me laugh you arrive late when nazi germany showed signs of getting its ass kicked anyway! and the war of american independance, britain did a fair bit of damage to us including blowing the crap out the white house! of course we lost but duhhh look at the freaking figures of how outnumbered the british were against the american army... if you lost you of gone down in history as the biggest losers in the history of war having more than 3 x our army plain to see the outcome... Well done im not that bothered about that not in the least!
what really bothers me is how stupid you are, Germany occupied England (dont make me laugh) germany never occupied england infact germany never occupied the following countries in WW2 Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Turkey. only the channel island did germany get a grasp of and believe me they tried england ..
Get a history book and look up the battle of britain sometime Jr.. where nazis had 4000+ aircraft against the brits 1900.. and we kicked there sorry ass, due to the sheer brillance of the spitfire and the hurricane the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitts never stood a hope.. So stick that in your amerrricccannnoo cruuuuoppppp oo caawwwfffffeeeeeeee n drink it.... (nothing against america itself, just the authour of this complete pile of pig shight! its reasons like you that make america one of the dumbest countries in the world A-hole)
HEY! Lets stop fighting each other and fight the real enemy... those damn smelly French! :)
Haha, you're clearly a fucking idiot my American friend. Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London did they? Wrong. Germany never got further than those pussyholes France (who seemingly you have much in common with). As for Winston Churchill being overrated, I'd disagree, but considering his mother was American, you might just have a point there.
Twat.
I have no real opinion, BUT im afraid that England is better than America!
The reason?
You american have taken some facts, some lies and some very very stupid stereotypes that havent existed since ever.
And with these you have justified a claim that has the biggest bullshit as evidence ever.
You then refuse to back down, and pursue your mission of stating your own superiority. This is everything wrong with American people, culture and lifestyle.
We are better, simply because you as an unprovoked and angry individual decide something and insist upon its truth ( I might add this does not make it true)
Our own superiority comes from the fact we have not attempted to insult you this way, we retaliate out of patriotism. Out of love for our country.
You cannot make these claims and convince yourself they are true without actually assessing both countries and getting your facts straight.
JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOUT LOUD IT DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU'RE RIGHT!
p.s. Read some George Monbiot, you will understand everything
why this is wrong
1: your point being? i don't even like Vicky particualy and she isn't, in my opinion, that much of a celeberaty.
2: this is basic human nature you probably beleive that you have no accent and that everyone else does just because you're used to it. we're used to driving on the left side so everything else seems odd.
3: ??? I don't understand what that point is acctualy about.
4: i lol'd when i saw this THE REASON NO-ONES TAKEN YOU OVER IS BECAUSE YOU HAVN'T BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH. and anyways that will probably change because if you havn't noticed were losing the war.
5: ok i am pretty sure that child pornography is illegal here too just recently a woman was arrested for supplying child porno so thats wrong.
6: dude calm down it's a movie. Just because you see something in a movie dosn't mean that it's true. i'm sad to break it to you but there isn't really a killer called jigsaw that will kill you if you take drugs.
oh and about the dental hygene. yes you are right we have terrible dental hygene IF you are living in the 1500s nowerdays however the common, handheld toothbrush is found in every houshold and used reguarly so really you can't make any point against that.
in conclusion this guy FAILS.
What a load of uneducated, prejudiced rubbish. The amount of ignorance in both the article and the comments box is spectacular. I read this and thought that you must have been joking. I'm now going to set about disproving all of your prejudices.
1. Tea drinking is popular, but I don't like it. And I have never fucked my mother.
2. Teeth? Why take a dig at our teeth? I'm pretty sure that as many people are born with bad teeth in the USA as in the UK.
3. We don't really care that we lost 'the war'. I've never even really heard of it. We just sit there smug with the knowledge that all Americans are English deep in their hearts, and that they hate that.
4. America has Kim Kardashian. I believe that she is quite a lot worse than Victoria.
5. There is no right side of the road, let's be honest here. The earth was not created with a pre-written highway code.
6. I don't get the next point. Where/what is Beaver Stadium, and how is excessive alcohol consumption and beer bellies a good aspect of a country?
7. I was quite surprised by this next fact. I wouldn't have been surprised if our schools taught us a slightly bias view, because many country's schools (including America! Sorry!) teach children to love their country. Wiki answers however, speaks true to my education.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_countries_did_Germany_occupy_in_World_War...
8. Since when is child pornography legal?! I hear on the news all the time about people who get arrested for taking pornographic images.
9. I have never heard of this movie. Ever. Get over it.
In conclusion, none of your points really make sense to me. So I'm not particularly offended. Sorry. However, to finish I would like to give you one reason that means that the UK is better than America.
1. The United Kingdoms population does not include you.
I don't agree with the (kicking ass) part I do agree with the majority of what you say though England does have neat castles (the ones that are still 3/4ths standing).
Unfortunatly way WAY to many people either don't give an (explict word) about USA history or never had the opportunity to get a non Liberal government version of it.
(The last decade they all but completly changed the text books for classrooms to suit popular agendas)
I don't agree having a two party system here in America which is the most retarded thing next to Obamacare and Bushnation. (I don't like much of any post 30s presidents after reading history) but we still have (some) Consitution left as loong as we know it and excersie it like I am right now.
(Freedom of Speech and Press)
Anybody who thinks England is better ( Major exception such as (if it's homesickness in which you miss the geography and family)
then y'all need to get a one way ticket and get the (beep) out and quit saying we are no good and should be up to your standerds.
We are not going to bend backwards to help you and you shouldn't have to bend backwards to help us if we go over.
Deal?
our country britain isnt a shithole like pussy americans were not as fat greedy selfish ignorant as you pising americans get out of are beatiful country i visited america there old hobo street people sue america sue america sue america pissing americans we discovered you!
at least none of our priministers have been assassinated like dumbass john f kenedy
Bin-laden attacked america because the americans repressed his people after siding with him originally, 1980 he was a freedom fighter, 2001 he was a terrorist.
America is practically finished, they lost in vietnam, they've lost in afghanistan, it's only so long until china and russia start to take notice, creating a war that'll kill them all and leave the good ol' united states of europe (little EU pun there for all you american morons that wont get it) free and clear as the world leaders again, as it should be.
Anyway, I don't know why we're bothering to have this conversation, the EU is by far the richest "country" (i put it in speech marks because although I don't consider it a country, it is a union in the same sense that the USA is and I suppose I would consider that a country) in the world and the combined militaries of all the countries in it probably makes it the most powerful country on earth.
So, to finalise - fuck off america, nobody likes you, you're weak, you're stupid, you're uncultured, your women are annoying and shrill, you're vane, your men make laughable attempts at being macho which leaves me in no doubt that the vast majority of your inhabitants are gay, your education system is horrific (my cousin graduated from some shit uni in louisianna and cant add up above 10 without doing it on her chubby little fake tanned fingers), your leader is mostly British, your inhabitants are the rejects from europe. so tally-ho or whatever the fuck you pricks think i should say.
fuck you all
Heres why America sucks: people like you. I've seen so many American's (so many, not all of them) who are self-righteous, stuck-up, cheesy, arrogant, obnoxious people.
People who find the need to make blogs like this in a desperate attempt to prove their country isn't the worsed like so many of the world thinks.
Our teeth aren't even that bad. Thats like us saying every single American person is fat. Its a negative stereotype that probably isn't even true. Did you even mean England or did you mean the UK? Or, be really American, call us all 'British'.
white people argueing. sad. wrong. stupid.
without england there would be a country of brown earth worshipers well it basically is but whatever. a ethnic cleaning is all america needs. send all the niggers back to africa and kick the mexicans back into there own country. then burn down every american symbol of power and wisdom and start new. and then the true race will dominate.
much love
a Jew
Yes.and can you guess who that race is? They speak a hard language with some long words. They are found in profusion in both your countries. They"ve contributed enormously to your power and prestige though you fought them in two world wars. They have been your kings and queens and politicans and soldiers and great men of business. They look just like you and when they assimilated into your societies you could always count on them. They raised their children to your established christian ideals. They learned your language, went to your schools,fought for you in your wars, even against the land of their forefathers. Yes, they did all this and continue to do so today. They are part of your family.
Just to let any american know, how many times were we invaded in the course of our history in England? Many times. We had the Normans, Vikings, Romans and many more. Even many failed attempts in the past have occurred to take over England. But how many invasions have there been on America? Virtually none except from occasional European countries. Let's look at the reasons why... England was invaded many times because it was and still is a great country. Invaders always saw it as an advantage to any growing empire. However not many people wanted to invade America because it is a shit country and all the people there are gay - which is banned in most churches. The only reason why rarely countries tried was because they either thought that you were all too crap and was an embarrassment to your cultured and civilised neighbours, or they did it for fun or they had nothing better to do.
Let the buddha guide both countries to enlightenment. He taught that the meaning of life is to overcome suffering, but isn't everyone on this web page or engaged in this argument creating more suffering. Please don't negatively criticise others until you have become free of all errors - which is not humanly possible. Until then offer helpful advice to one another. Also we must discover in our own ways (as the journey of life is a lone journey) the solutions to our problems. I would personally recommend meditating so you can be aware of the issues and become aware of the solutions to this. Good luck to you all through your journey through life and let the buddha guide you.
An english buddhist.
I hate it when Americans criticise our NHS. Britain isn't perfect but at least we aren't full of McDonalds-eating, Fox news-watching obese people.
I think that your comments are ill thought out and pointless. Have you even been to England? Our contry has a brilliant healthcare service and on average the most healthy teeth in Europe [I looked it up]
Also you said the Hitler invaded England when he never did. GO AND CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFOR YOU MAKE YOU AND YOUR CONTRY LOOK LIKE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!
America is a cool nation,but people like you and your stupid remarks are what make people hate the USA.
Also child porn is totally illegal here. I'm not denying that Britain has faults, I just think that you take the time to understand things before YOU SLAG THEM OFF!!!!!
BRITAIN ROCKS!!!!!
You do realise that the royal family can still claim taxes off every american if they so choose? google it, it might take a bit of digging because people do not want that sort of thing known but i assure you it's true.
Oh my god, everyone get over it.
Not all Americans are fat, not all Brits have bad teeth. And not all Italians are gangsters, not all Asians are smart.
It's just comedy, of course whichever country you are in is going to teach their side of the story. What country is going to put their team down and praise another place?
Lighten up.
This is the funniest, most stupid, very American trash, I have not laughed so much in ages...
i know it's tongue and cheek, but thank fuck I am British... I would be so embarrassed to say I was American...
Nazi Germay did not occupy a single square inch of the British Isles, get your facts right.
Yes, as an English lad found reading this hilarious. Whoever told you the Queen signed an acknowledgement of your independence in 1976 was, I imagine, taking the piss out of you.
Others who've commented before me have probably already pointed out Germany never occupied any part of the British Isles, though they did hold one of the Channel Islands for a while, Jersey I think. I found it particularly amusing that you consider the ability of 110,000 American Football fans to drink more alcohol in one afternoon than the entire of Europe does in a year to be a positive feature and then to abuse Churchill for being an alcoholic. Genuinely funny stuff.
Still, so are the people claiming the UK 'discovered' the US. That's just plain wrong. The UK founded a few colonies there but it had been 'discovered' some time before that. By the natives who lived there for a start, but Leif Erikson got there a good few hundred years before we did.
Love how you seem to think we might actually care that you beat us in a war 200+ years ago. I suppose that kind of attitude develops naturally in a country with only 200 years of it's own 'history'. We've lost a fair number of wars, we get over it and move on. You beat us in a war 200 years ago, well done, now just get on with it.
Your attually a fucking retard I'm not joking Your a complete cock ... you so fucking ignorant nieve stupid God you make me dispire in america!
Are you really that stupid?
I cant believe that your being serious
your saying america is better than England because you don't like posh spice ( who does? ), you drive on the right side of the road ( Great... we drive on the left who gives a shit?! ). they are some shit points never mind the others to prove your countries better than ours.
Now the best country thing, what does it matter? our countries are actually very similar, ive been to America twice already and going back next summer! Im even hoping to work on my uni placement year over there! I love the place I think its great and I really think if you fuckin dumb ass yanks came to stay in our country and lived a proper British life ( None of that London, Queen, Big Ben, Parliament bull shit!! ) you would enjoy it!!
So pull your head out of your arse and take a look around dick head!
i am british and our country is so much better 1 british guy will fucking own all of you fucking americans put together
you think you are so shitting great you compare the size of usa to britain and you will find that we are more fucking wealthy
also cold war does that ring a bell tell me how many weapons of mass destruction do you have that you use to intimmerdate smaller countries
and if you americans think you are so awsome try and invade England oh wait you sad little fuckers wouldnt dare because you would get your fucking arse kicked
from a british 9 year old
One british guy will own all americans put together?
No.
More wealthy? Not the case again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita
The cold war, for those who could afford more weapons, bought them. This includes Great Britain and The United States.
As for us invading your country, maybe we already have. There are no british bases anywhere in the United States.
This comment was not putting anyone down. So no rude comments. Also this is an an asinine dicussion.
can I just say that we stood the front line in WW2 during the Battle of Britain when the Germans and Nazis came while you stood back thousands of miles away, while we may not have had many men they were well trained and we stood our ground with what was probably the best Navy and one of the best Air Forces at the time, yes we did get bombed but we kept our moral up, I mean what were we going to do build a big brick wall to stop the germans planes getting through or something? its just stupid to be honest. And yes the americans did help the British during the Battle of Britian but only because they knew that the nazis were coming for them next, if the nazis couldnt get passed us then they were not going to get to you were they?
You dumb Yank! A huge part of London was destroyed, but occupied? You dumbass! You create stories man. You also created this Todd guy didn't you!? How the fuck could you occupy London if the German tanks haven't even landed in Britannia? If it weren't for Britain you would've had a hard time succeeding. Fighting the whole Nazi force by America alone would've been very impossible.
Why don't you just watch your NBA(Nigger Basketball Association) eh? I heard that one team in the NBA got beaten by a European team. NBA will not be the best anymore after some time. Aren't you tired of watching a game where blacks dominate? I believe that basketball is all about talent and doesn't mean you're white that you can't play. American Basketball Team looks like the Republic of the Congo and even got defeated by Greece in 2006. Don't dis England. They have a great culture especially humour. American humor is for retards. It's not even funny especially Everybody Hates Chris. There's an exception, though, and that is The Simpsons and Southpark.
America is a nice place the people are nice and it is a beautiful country, I mean look at the land mass compared to the uk ofcourse its going to be great. It looks nice there because it is new. But unfortunately It is a shame to read the original post, I have heard so many americans studying here say to me, we beat your ass in the war, america is the shit man...and all i think in my head is... yeah anddd did that happen like almost 300 hundred years ago now and you still so proud, well done but quite frankly now in 2010 I could not give a flying fuck. The Uk is the uk, yeah sure we hate it here, its only cos of the weather and yeah we complain wouldnt you ?? but at least we have Europe on our doorstep, if you look at the map of the world we sit nicely in the middle, so convenient for travelling. We are an Island, which is great, and yeah ok there are some shitty looking houses here and places but wow there are so many nice little villages and national parks dotted about its so nice.
ANyway basically, I just think Americans really really do just need to get over this whole 'we beat you in the war' SO WHAT have you yet ruled most of the world noo so fuck off, we played our part back then it was good we lost sure but so what who cares how that story went lets just concentrate on the present.
as you guys say...PEACE
Hm...
YOU started this arguement, yet you blame us for defending ourselves?
1. You are not Americans, get the hell over it. You are BRITISH. The settlers from which you guys came from were BRITISH. Just because you're born somewhere doesn't make you from there. Whether you like it or not (more like whether WE like it or not), you're still one of us. The only Americans are the Natives, who you poisoned and murdered. Fuck the King for sending out a bunch of idiotic Brits to settle in America.
2. 'MY DAD DIED IN THE TWIN TOWERS'. Sorry, but your dad didn't have to die. He signed up. The Iraqi war itself didn't have to happen, but you 'Americans' caused it. You didn't have to provoke the terrorists through the war did you? You know... It's being debated that the president did it. Don't try and blame this on Bush, you fucktards elected him yourselves. You being an independent country and all...
3. And DON'T try and convince us you're the best country in the world. You can't even go a couple of centuries without starting a war. Yes, the British have gotten into many wars, mostly to save other countries. Guess crayon inventing was a bit more important to you than stopping Hitler kill all those people.
4. Don't fucking test us on sports. England will kick your asses in football or soccer or whatever other word you idiots have concucted for the word football over the years.
5. 'We are equal' is not right. I mean, after practically CREATING you this is how you pay us back? You could at least be nice. Filthy backstabbers.
6. WE ALSO MADE DENTAL FLOSS THAT HELPS YOUR BRITISH YELLOW TEETH BE CLEAN!!!'
I suppose eating unhealthy foods, being obese and overweight has a GREAT impact on your teeth then? It is a statistical FACT that British people have whiter teeth than people in America so I highly suggest you withdraw that previous statement.
7. Stop calling us your little sister, we were a country before you, so technically that makes us the older sibling.
8. Stop talking to us if you don't like it. Bitches, you started it.
And that is why England is better than America. Exception of the weather. But hey, its better having crap weather all year round than having nice weather and getting earthquakes, hurricans and shit right? Even if we did, I'm sure we would help them. Unlike the people in Florida who are STILL living in near-poverty.
By the way, I do believe if America is a great country, stop having thugs sit around talking about how crap and hard their lives were living in the hood.
England never started the fight. We just got pissed at you Yanks who like always provoke people and cry about it later when a monument of theirs is demolished.
=) Don't mess with the English.
i am native american and i say that the rest of these guy are just as american as me granted what they did is wrong but it is getting better things might have been different if lincoln wasn't assinated
but i don't understand why this fight is happening , it is not needed. were americans, you're british, why should we care if you have whiter teeth and why should you care if were obese
the only reason why this argument has happened becuase somebody wants to say their better than the other
so what if our goverment makes mistakes, like your goverment is perfect every day
and this arguement has been going on for a long time it needs to stop
and about recent wars you say that we are losing yeah you would be too, becuase its is a guerrilla war where the enemy looks like a civilian, one second that civilian could be killing a young man then going to the store to pick up food for his family how are we suposed to find this man if we do not know if he is the enemy. sick
i'm sick of this anti american/british crap NO ONE IS PERFECT SO BOTH SIDES STOP SAYING YOU'RE BETTER/PERFECT BECUASE WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE NOT
First of all the French helped you in your Revolutionary War. Second of all, Britain has lots of colonies, India being the most important. If Britain only concentrated in the 13 colonies she can still control you. But controlling a colony whose inhabitants obviously want to break free is not anymore wise. It's not anymore productive. Do you think, for example, that if you lost your Revolutionary because the French didn't offer help you will just keep quiet forever? There would still be a war a generation later because who the heck wants to pay tribute to a King and Queen across the Atlantic? This is the reason why they let you free. It's just a waste of time and money. Obviously, George Bush still attacked Iraq even though some of the Americans are starving. He is a dumbass for not realising this. I'm not even sure why you voted him.
Urm... this is SO stupid. How old are you???
WHy are you trying to compare America and England? It is pointless, we dont need to argue! We are both very privelaged countries, both with numerous downfalls and admirable qualities. I like America, and i Love England, I live in one, but half my family occupes the other...
I think it is also true to say most of your 'facts' are not ACTUAL facts...
Grow UP
While obviously not serious this article is an admirable example of the vicious ignorance Americans are internationally renowned for. Excellent work, and good luck with the overdue decline.
ROFL its funny how britain had less deaths casualties then america and its funny we was already at war with france 1 of the most powerful countries at the time if we wasnt at war with other countries americas would of been a walk in the park also did u know the people were british and had british accents the so called americans.. anyway atleast we can all sit back on our chairs and laugh at them americans at the end of the day
this is to the first writer aka JB. Hour. lets push some of your buttons eh...why not. err. WE USED TO OWN AMERICA and lets see WE BUILT IT WHAT IT IS oh and finally YOU GOT OWNED BY AN ISLAND OF PEOPLE...FUCKERR. ahh much better.
by the way if your ever bored again why don't you actually look us up. just a thought.
by the way tea is great, you should try it...and the doctor.
America is no better than England. You stuck up Twats. WW2 was years ago let it go man, also well done you helped out, congradulations...Also your independance war, its so sad,England took over you and you celebrate your independance. People of America let the past go for Fuck sake, its gone, you bring stuff upp with titanic and the world war, JUST LET IT GO! america FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING FLAG, YOUR FLAG IS A PIECE OF SHIT PAINTED WITH COLOURED PISS!
AMERICA KISS MY BRITISH ASS! AND KISS MY PROUD BRITISH FEET!
i love it how the flags are the same colors to
and you brits bring up the more then we did in this arguement and it ww2 was only 70 years ago thats not that far back
and how did england take over us if we became a country and your country left?
This image you've made up of your typical english person is bull. I dont know about all this history background and to be truely honest i dont care but one we don't all love victoria beckham. We proberly think the same as you and i think most brits would be happy she's over in your country thinking she's all that instead of our's. And this idea you have that we all have bad teeth...what do you go around england asking everyone if u can see there teeth...no? ...thought so. You've meant the odd person like that who's proberly like 60 and still lives in the last centery. (If ive spelt anything wrong don't critisise i never said we could all spell).
I can not believe you can say that about England, Britain was at one time the most powerful country in the the World. Also England have invented more things than any other country, and the Germans didn't invade London...the German use Blitzkrieg tactics over London during the Battle of Britain and not one German ever made it on land in England. The Americans joined the war in 1941, the war was basically over than...America was just scared to get into the war...they have not courage. Also and even when you do go into war you still lose e.g. The Vietnam War...Ok, so we English people have bad teeth but we have free health care, the only country in the world that does...
Finally, America is invaded now by gigantic obese people, even at the top you think about a triple cheeseburger at Wendy's, that how much you think about food.
Obesity is the second biggest killer in the US now.
And you think England is a bad country?
What are you a moron, the war was no where Over by 1941, it wasn't until 1943 that the German were losing. Britain was going to be taken over if America didn't intervene, the Soviet Union's Victory at stalingrad wouldn't have made a differnce if the Americans we're pushing the Western Front, this is what split the forces, and this is what cost them the war. Learn your facts
Fuck you American cunt.
Reasons why America sucks:
1. Most Americans are ignorant as fuck
2. Some of them don't even know that English is from England
3. Annoying accent
4. Too friendly(They talk to you like they know you since childhood)
5. Fat
6. Listens to Oprah
7. Black president
8. Incest lovers
9. A huge percentage of the population are psychopaths
10. Comedy is retarded
Im English but I dont think its fair that your saying they are too friendly. They are nice people so just shut your face and leave them alone. P.S I am English
and there is nothing wrong with black presidents they could just say we have a white presidnet.
have to agree with China comments, the Chinese take the USA's junk and trash, recycle it, and then sell it back to them twice the price! ha! fukin love it!
the US has grown lazy, they believe they have computers and the rest of the world bash rocks. Get a grip, the US is slowly slipping behind the world.
While we are arguing with each other about what side of the road to drive on, some very rich banking families are controlling the executive power, to tax us, to buy weapons, to invade countries, so our countrymen die, to steal that country's oil, to sell to us at inflated prices, so we can function and pay tax to buy weapons, to invade countries...so Warburg/Rockefeller/Rothschild/Bush/Chaney/Blair get very, very rich and we work and die like idiots. Wake up ffs. To see us arguing with each other about such irrelevancies, they must be pissing themselves laughing...all the way to their banks!
seriously, everyone who says american comedy is better needs to have their head examined. I watched a whole episode of friends and didn't laugh once. Oh, wait, I did, I laughed with joy when it was fucking OVER.
All those "reasons" aren't reasons at all. By the way, your last statement, "The United States of America is a teenage country, 231 years old with a big dick. Keep talking shit and you might end up fucked in the ass one day." are you trying to say the U.S. is gay? becuase thats what im reading.
This is quite worrying that we are arguing amongst ourselves whilst we are at war (or conflict) together! I'm in the the British Armed Forces and I take pride in that, just as much as Americans do! When 'we're' out on the front line 'together'we are constantly learning new tactics and strategies, hence we are both constantly 'working together'. I've had the fortunate job of teaching Americans and I've also had the privilege of being taught by Americans too (This works for other nations as well). We learn, adapt and overcome together. Clearly we have a stronger military relationship than non-military people. This disgusts me that both 'your' strong and heroic men are dying for you to argue amongst yourselves about who's better. Every nation has new things to learn, not one one nation is perfect... we need to remember this... We are two very strong patriotic nations amongst others, don't let the past get the better of you. We have both made mistakes in the past, lets learn from them and not make the same mistakes again, we live in a society where social evolution is in the utmost prevalent, surely were not getting caught up in the past and watch devolution take place in front of our very eyes.
The nazi's never took over england so god nows where you found that out, plus thanx 4 helping in the world wars, not! In WW1 you helped out for the last little bit and in WW2 you started helping half way thru, then you take all the credit
You only won your indapendence because britain wad fighting france at the same time so all our best troops where fighting france,
I watched american football and its just people playing rugby cheating and in armer,
Also because england was the firt country to have personal moterises transport, and we decided to drive on the left, which makes it the right side

Reasons why the UK is Great!!!!
1. English Football
2. Fit Birds
3. Top Gear
BTW, while making this list Im chatting with someone who lives in the West Midlands and he cant think of more than 3 reasons why the UK is great!
Why cant everybody just shut up..look so were both proud of our countrys cant we just leave it at that. Im from the USA but i love England even though ive never been there. Why cant we all get along.
Firstly, in repsonse to the half witted twat who wrote this, you should probably consider a serious education before writing crap concerning international affairs.
Secondly, in respose to another idiot (American) that made a laughable list of ways in which America is better than England, i stress again the importance of education.
Now onto my main point. America... what are you? A mix of many European and continental nations to create the biggest clusterfuck ever experienced by man-kind. And yet you hold the ordasity to come back to your very founders and say that you're better? Ha!
Lets see, firstly if it wasn't for the English you wouldn't have anything that you use everyday. You wouldn't be commenting on this worthless half hearted attempt at patriotism, and you certainly wouldn't have the infrastructural support to uphold any sort of civilised society.
It always seems that America prides itself on military prowess, and yet military records show that it only picks on smaller, weaker countries to try and "lift spirits". The one conflict (WW2) that you actually got involved in, if jumping in on the action in the ending credits can be descibed as being involved, you sustained monumental casualties, ending up staggering back to your hole with your arse firmly handed to you, all-be-it at the expense of countless Japanese troops.
I would also like to enquire about your empire? I'm sorry, you didn't have one? No American empire that ruled a quater of the globe? No empire that still exists today, cleverly hidden under then name of the "common wealth" and "colonial nations"? Well my farmer "buddys" it would seem that England did. Point enough i reckon.
Let's see, statistically America is the most "evil" country that has ever existed, at the expense of sounding like something out a childerens novel, slaughtering countless innocent civilians, waging plenty of unjustified wars, and tearing down global economy like a reckless 5 year old. And yet the most ignorant of you still think that "America" rules the world?
Your national anthem, it was composed by a British man. Do you still feel so patriotic? "By the rockets red glare" do you only think about projectiles of war? Over compensation perhaps, for your shameful past? And just for the record we burnt down your capital city, many times. Looked a lot better without it i reckon.
Sure, England might be hated, but we're liked a damn sight more than you fat yanks, pressing red buttons and desperatley trying to find anything to truely be proud of in your nations shameful past. The sooner you realise that the rest of the world dispises everything about you, and at the slightest chance will fuck you over, the sooner you might be able to wake up to the truth and try to resurrect the land that WE built for you.
So hears to America, the war waging, civilian killing, cares only about itself, arsehole of a nation. Maybe we'll all look back on this post one day and laugh. Hopefully that's the day that the America as we know it is dead and gone...one way or another, although it'd be nice to visit without mushroom clouds surrounding the area....
yeah... where the hell did this child pornography come from you stupid twat, do you seriously think it's legal here, idiot.
and no we dont like victoria beckham thats why we sent her off to you! but she's a multi-millionaire that was part of one of the most successful girl bands of all time ^o)
and last of all what language do you speak? ENGLISH...
fuck you!
p.s. FREE HEALTH CARE!
I'm an American but am married to a Brit and have spent quite a bit of time in England. First off, as to "whose military is better," BOTH countries fought and won WWII together. England held out for two+ years against the Germans, but could not have won back Western Europe without America (and both of our countries likely couldn't have won without the Russians fighting on the eastern front). As to whose empire is/was better, the sun never set on the British empire, but then the Romans invented the concept of "empire." No wait that was the Persians--no, maybe the Abyssinians...you get the idea.
As to food, the food in the US sucks. Everything is full of preservatives and filled with sugar ("high fructose corn syrup") and salt to cover up the taste. Food here is very processed and trucked in from hundreds or thousands of miles away. The food in England is much fresher--the milk tastes better, the meat tastes better, and everything has less additives. The cost of food here is absurd--$4 for a box of cereal, WTF? Start my day off with a full English anytime!
I'm not even going to get into how bad most American beer is. (Sam Adams is the only good one.)
The states are very different. I live in Florida, which is full of grotesquely obese people. Sometimes I wonder if the whole state will collapse from their weight. It's also full of old farts and rednecks. Why the hell do these dumbass rednecks have to drive gigantic pickup trucks that are TOTALLY EMPTY except for the driver (usually either a gigantic fatass stuffing his face with a double cheeseburger or a short man with a inferiority complex).
I think the British education system is probably better than what I'm used to in the US, but in truth about 47 of the 50 American states have a better education system than Florida so that probably affects my perception.
Brits definitely have better manners and are much quieter and more reserved than most Americans. Again, I think this is something of a regional thing--if you go to California, people from the South or big cities in the Northeast stick out just as much as Americans in England.
American, on the other hand, seem a bit more open and friendly than Brits. Brits sometimes interpret this as being false--I don't think it's falseness, but I think maybe Americans are just not quite as deep as the Brits. We tend to speak before thinking, while most Brits think before speaking.
Ok, to put a stop to the war bullshit. NO, America did little to help Britain. Yes, Britain may have struggled without you but who will know. RUSSIA, however, won the war by stoppign the germans. END OFF. Need I explain more -DO SOME PROPER 'RESEARCH'!!!.
England has common sense. To start of with the english way of speaking is way more correct than the american way because it is actually 'ENGLISH' from 'ENGLAND' The americans just copied us because they couldnt think up a language for themselves. During the wars that we fought together, America would have gone down if it wasnt for us as hardly anyone else would dtep in to help you. Also we are unique for driving on the left hand side of the road so anyone that disses it should sort head out!!
Wow, you talk alot of shit don't you? Go back to school mate. Oh wait, you're in the U- S of A! omg, your education is worse than mexico's. fuck off you redneck bastard.
We drive on the CORRECT side of the road.
We don't have bad teeth.
We ain't fuckin posh!
At least we owned your country for most of its existence. you won't ever own us so your going to have to live with that.
American Football is just a pussy's version of Rugby so you can fuck yourself there.
You only join wars right at the end and then try and take all the credit.
Your all fat.
Victoria Beckham can go fuck herself, we dont care about her either.
and this article just proves how fucking retarded you Americans are!
'Germans captured london in WW2?! hahahahaa research that again mate and correct yourself.
You havnt bin a country long enough to grow a decent lawn yet!
Hey, The UK is SOOOOOOOO much better on many different ways. First of all, they have gun control, we don't so we're getting shot in the head while in Britain they have knifes and you can't kill as many people. Another thing, Britain isn't so dang COCKY! Everyone in America thinks they're the best and we really aren't the entire world, believe it or not! America is a great place and all, but Britain is still pretty amazing. And yes, I am an anglophile.
By the way, Hitler and the Axis never officially took over England. They actually as the only non-Axis occupied European country with the USSR fought them off until we decided to join from Pearl Harbor.
<< The U.S. was never taken over by anybody. Ever. Remember World War II? Of course you don’t, you weren’t alive. Well I have the internet and I looked it up. Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London. >>
you've got to be kidding me. germany invaded england? i think you haven't finished that 5th grade, have you?
Fucking Americans thinking there awesome and shit... Your the most hated Country in the world. You have gang shit, a poorly funded Education system and a very poor police who shoot anybody at any sight of anything. E.g Two Cops in NY shoot a man 15 times because they thought he had a grenade... he was eating a fucking pear you daft cunts! Now I'm not saying Britain is perfect either, We Elected Blair right? We have corruption in politics and worst of all we have high tax. But Thats a Hell of a lot less fucking problems you have. So seriously, just stop mocking us because Britain would Kick America's ass in an one on one war you Fucking Fags!
Oi! How come the one who runs this site won't comment? I'm waiting for that sonofabitch to take back what he said that England has been occupied by Germany. You lying bitch thinking everyone is an ignorant fuck like you motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Notice that sonofabitch is cooler than son of a bitch.
You Also think your the smartest nation on eart. Wrong. Example of this, you think Steven Hawkings is american? Bullshit. He is English, hus voice box is in an american accent. Secondly, you think you realy helped us out in WWII. Again, Bullshit. You only went for Japan because they were small and easy to take on and not for the German Nazis who had a large(ish) Empire.
Another thing people hate America for is that you are all Fucking Steriotypes. You think British are all Posh and drink tea and eat crumpets. You you fuck-nut in London. Ever heard of a place called Liverpool or Newcastle? There the least posh places in the world.. I would know i've lived in both of them.
You think anybody that is Middle-Eastern is a terrorist. Enoguh said.
The very last Thing That makes you EXTREAMILY hated is the fact that you can get over 9/11. Look i know your sad and pissed about it. But you fucking rednecks are still Bitching about it like what 6 years after it happened?
Here is something to be pissed off about, Getting fuckeed in the ass Fags.
the american people only talk about how many american people died in 9/11. you dont talk about all the other people from other countries. British people died in those towers and so many more. You hate the Islamic religion so much you wont even let them build a mosque. Muslims died in in those towers as well. I'm not talking about the hijackers, there were good hard working people who wished no harm to anyone.
I think they should build a mosque near ground zero. In fact they should turn ground zero into a fucking mosque. It would be like sticking your finger up at the american people. Actually make that two, one for each tower.
I could only imagine if USA fought Germany alone. Imagine if Germany hadn't lost many forces in Russia and in the war against the British. The US forces that would invade the Germans without Britain as the launching point would get raped in the Atlantic by German submarines and the Luftwaffe to the point that they will regret that they even faced Germany. To the one who runs this site - reply now. Take back what you said you lying bastard. Or maybe you don't have the balls to do it you lying bitch. Look I respect US soldiers and I have never been to a war before but take back what you fucking said. Reply me and present a link to what you said that Germany occupied England.
Mate, you have just shown yourself to be a typical Yank. Ignorant to the rest of the world. Where do I even begin with your useless points.
Firstly child pornography is harshly looked upon in England and if you are caught you WILL get sentenced to jail. Just like you would in any other english speaking country.
Secondly: "Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London" IM SORRY DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? oh no thats right, your American so you were taught the Hollywood way that you saved the day. The fact is Britain successfully defended itself from Hitler in the Battle of Britain in 1941, before the Yanks deceided to join the war. Hitler never ever invaded England, so get your facts right. You Yanks didnt save us in the war either and to be honest i find it EXTREMELY offensive that you would even say that because you joined WW1 one year before it ended and WW2 four years before it ended, when English, French and Russian troops were fighting from day dott. So why don't you stop saying America won the war for everyone and show some respect to the other soilders who were in the thick of it all.
Thirdly: King Ralph? WTF irrelevant point.....so he is portrayed as a slob, BIG DEAL, now you know how it feels when ALL english people are always seen as posh speaking snobs in your American films. Believe me mate youve clearly never been to England, coz no one talks like that over hear, believe you me.
But your closing statement
" The United States of America is a teenage country, 231 years old with a big dick. Keep talking shit and you might end up fucked in the ass one day." JUST SUMS YOU UP !!!
Your right, America is a teenaged country. Compared to England's history you are totally inexperienced. Has your country ever had a 'War of the Roses' or a '100 years war' No it hasn't. England's history is what makes it great, something America can never compare to. And your 'Teenaged' country can't even compare with the history and importance of Europe. So why don't you reconsider your 'teenager' analogy because Britain and Europe can then be seen as ' Adults', old and wise !!!
And remember England formulated the start of America and most of the American population today are of english heritage, even your 'beloved' George Washington who dosen't even compare to Winston Churchill!!!!
its funny because you people on the internet think your opinion matters at all.
Enjoy your tea, you cigarettes.
yeah, i think you mean fags and really, how stupid are you. we didn't elect a black person to run our country
Just want to point out that we (England, not Britain) are the only country that ever has, and probably ever will, burn down the White House
Long Live The Queen

Not all of us english people are still miffed about you having your independence, some of us are glad of it. The comment about football and soccer as you call it is a fair point every nation has its own sport and the english are far to preoccupied with it. Im english and I can't stand the drunken football hooligans ( although I wager we start drinking earlier 18 years old, and we have the highest alcohol abuse stats in europe.) The myth about british teeth isn't completely true although not completely false over here you can be private or state health those with private care get what they pay for. As for driving who cares I regularly go across to france and driving on the right is no easier or harder than the left.
I do agree about victoria beckham though.
Child porn is very much still illegal here too and being a forensic scientist I can inform you we have one the the biggest and most comprehensive databases in the world.
oh and london was never occupied by the germans although a few believe that an air force base in norfolk was for several hours.
England was never occupied by Germany in the second world war. If you are going to attack a country that created yours and gave it the culture it has today then at least get your facts right. By trust america coming in late to the second world war when it was nearly over and then after putting germany into so much debt by lending them money that they couldn't pay back and then ruining the worlds economy with the wall street crash, and so you stopped giving Germany money therefore resulting to the great depression. Thanks. Yes, England has done some bad things and our country isn't perfect5, but you should look at your own past and infact your own present and see all the bad things you have done before tacking the piss out of ours.

You use at least several of these things every day and we don't gloat or believe you hate us because you are jealous so please dont keep saying that you are better than us or we are jealous of you we have our own legacy for older than americas and we are proud of it.
it was very interesting to read.
I want to quote ralph lauren pas cher your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
Germany NEVER occupied London,they lost the Battle of Britian.And American football isn't really football,seeing as our football is actually kicked using a foot much much more than America's.Hence the name,FOOTball.
An besides,America never controled the largest empire in the world.That honour goes to the British.
# British Empire
# Mongol Empire
# Russian Empire
# Spanish Empire
# Qing Empire, China
# Yuan Dynasty
# Umayyad Caliphate
# French Empire
# Abbasid Caliphate
# Portuguese Empire
See? 10 largest Empires in history.No America there.
And about WW2.America NEVER won it.If anyone had won it,it would've been the Russians,who managed to hold back the Germans,and invade Berlin.
Well some interesting, if somewhat deluded points here.
However, I feel that the best way to decide the matter, rather than chastising each others cultures and beliefs, would be to look at how truly happy citizens of each nation are.
How about the future leaders of these nations; are they really happy?
Taking 15 to 24 year olds.
In the U.K. the suicide rate is 6.7 per 100,000 of the population.
In the U.S.A. it is 13.7 per 100,000.
Conclusion? Young American adults are more than twice as likely to want to kill themselves as British adults.
Surely that says something of the perception of life for Americans?
Top 5 Reasons Americans are So Rude
http://www.pointsincase.com/columns/andrei-trostel/top-5-reasons-america...
I Love England And America, im living in the UK at the moment but im going to america to do a degree in filmography because i believe america can make my dreams come true. A bad point about america is that they are the most racist county in the world even though there county was owned by black people and then white people decided to invade and change their way of life. im not saying this to start a racism thing im saying it cause im mixed race and thats the only thing holding me back from going there,
x
who ever wrote this is soo stupid England never was invaded by the Germans, London was never occupied what an IDIOT !!! lol
The dumb yank never replied to my comment. Oh well he didn't find his "evidence" that England was occupied by Germans. This site is shite I'm never going to visit this again.
Whoever wrote this article is a stupid fucking twat, which is obvious to anyone except dumbass yanks.
The funniest part was when he goes that Germany invaded Britain and occupied London... ??!!!
What the fuck??
Where did that come from you fucking waste of space? That's like me saying that Bosnia invaded the USA and occupied Washington in 1970 or something. It's EQUALLY fucking retarded because nothing like that ever fucking happened!! What the fuck is wrong with you cunts?
Are you actually this stupid or was this article supposed to be a joke about stupid Americans are or something?
I shouldn't really blame YOU for being a completely moron, but your education system must be on par with Somalia or some other shit hole. Did you just fucking watch cartoons and eat cheeseburgers all day at school when you were little fat retarded kids?
I'm sure you learned about some US history in school, but when it comes to world history you americans are actually fucking RETARDED BY DEFINITION. It's like the North Koreans, they only learn about THEIR country in school. You're like fucking North Koreans in that respect. Do you even know where that is you fucking morons?! Or do you only know it from Team America.
The evangelical christians of the bible belt in the bowels of the USA sum up your attitude as a nation nicely. They are so fucking stupid... unbelievable mentally retarded, and yet they have this faith that they are right. It's like your collective national consciousness! You are so fucking stupid, but you shout the loudest?! Like a fucking retard screaming absolute bullshit that makes no sense. That's what you are to the rest of the world! You are a fucking RETARDED kid SHOUTING absolute BULLSHIT! The fact that you know NOTHING about ANYTHING just makes you shout LOUDER!
But alas, you can't reason with a fucking retard, you just have to pat them on the back and let them do whatever they do... so fuck it. Carry on you driveling shit weasle.
Hey guys, was reading those comments and wow, that was alot.
Just want to make a few comments and then I'll be on my way.
Firstly, I was reading an argument about Americans VS Britains: Intelligence matters.
I would like to say that I was amused by the fact that the British side of the argument, was infact, filled to the brim with spelling and proper grammar, whereas the American side was filled with rubbish typing and internet speak.
If you are trying to prove your intelligence, want to type properly, and not like a five year old girl?
Another one is the Obesity Argument.
I went to New York for a summer holiday and what did I spy there? Many, many obese people walking the streets. Yes, there were very thin people too, but the ratio here for Fat people to Thin people was 3:2.
I'm sorry guys, but if you want to hold an argument here, then don't make it a thin-blooded one.
I've got to go, I have Modern Studies (where I am researching YOUR country) homework to catch up on.
Cheers.
Katie Bell, 5th year pupil at Ardrossan Academy in Scotland.
YOU STUPID YANKS!! ALL YOU DO IS EAT, EAT AND START WARS JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT OIL, IRAQ- TO SAVE KUWAIT, WHICH HAS OIL IN!!! YOU THINK YOU ARE THE BEST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE MOST NUKES, BEST ARMY ETC. BUT THAT IS JUST A MASK TO HIDE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE JUST LITTLE GIRLS HIDING BEHIND US AND THEN WE TAKE ALL THE BLAME FOR IT TO PROTECT YOU!!! AND WHAT DO YOU DO TO THANK US??? FUCK ALL!!! GOD YOU STUPID YANKS PISS ME OFF SO MUCH!!!
AND FACT, SINCE AMERICA HAS INTRODUCED FAST FOOD, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED!!!
NICE FUCKING GOING YOU STUPID HILL-BILLY INBRED OF A COUNTRY!!!
Just to add my opinion. The UK is a brilliant place. Wherever you go, there is history and culture. Modern ?Britain is extremely tolerant and has every nationality from the world. It is truly international, cosmopolitan and modern. Our capital city is arguably the most diverse and famous in the world. It is small but accessible, and in spite of occasional troubles, people of different cultures and races get on very well together. In fact, most people work and study with people from all over the world. The average person is supremely individualistic and intelligent. People work hard and have loads of opportunities. People are generally humble and not materialistic and it has really cool chill out spots including its lovely parks, sports grounds, theatres, cinemas and museums. Our health service is not as bad as the press always reports and we have some of the most educated and pioneering people in medicine.
The US is a richer country, which makes you more powerful and influential, but that does not mean you are superior in anyway. Every country has its good points, and I am sure most people in the US are not as ignorant, arrogant and retarded as you. Britain is extremely modern as it a hub for the world's cultures and it continues to move forward with the world. Moving forward with the world also means understanding the world, and the UK is ahead on that frontier. We don't go around bullying people, but rather try to understand and help people. The world is changing, and Britain will always maintain its dignity than sell its soul to serve the interests of big business.
Er... i read this article on the internet that 37% of american are retarded. So...Um... FUCK YOU, YOU INBRED CUNT WHY NOT GO BACK TO YOUR TRAILER AND FUCK YOUR SISTER. OR WAS THAT YOUR MOTHER, EITHER WAY IT COULD BE THE SAME PERSON!!!!!!!
Lots and lots of comments with one simple truth, nothing human is perfect, only I am perfect, I know the truth, here it is the best country in the world is... ERROR ERROR
My dear Yankee, I'm British (English, but proud to be British,) and if it wasn't for the British inventions and technological prowess over the last 400 years the world would still be in the dark ages. We gave you the electric motor (so you can use electricity,) the Industrial Revolution, the computer, the jet engine, antibiotics, the MP3 player (search: Kane Kramer,) the steam engine (trains,) modern science (search: The Royal Society,) the English language, and most of the world's popular sports.
The world speaks English for a reason!!!!!!!!!!! Think about it.
The British cracked the code for DNA. We split the atom (a British team of scientists.) Charles Babbage invented the first computer; Alan Turing invented the first computer in the form we know now. The British gave you the aircraft carrier, the tank, the jump-jet aircraft, the first jet passenger plane. We had the largest empire the world has ever seen. We were the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, We have had all the greatest rock bands the world has ever seen (even though we are only 60,000,000 compared to your 300,000,000.)
The 1776-1783 war was a civil war between the British and their British-stock colonists. If the French hadn't helped the colonists, we would have beaten you - even the Yank books acknowledge the Brits hardly lost a battle in that war. We were fighting you, the French, the Dutch and the Spanish during that period. We did well to last 7 years!
The Yanks are some of the most unintelligent people in the world; this has been proven with IQ testing. And your intelligent people are European immigrants. In Britain we have a saying, called "The brain drain." It refers to the constant drip-feeding of our scientists, etc being attracted by higher wages to ply their wisdom in the USA. We held out against Hitler for 2 years before your chicken-shit government finally entered the war after Pearl Harbour. Then you bled us dry by punishing us for our bravery by forcing us to pay off war loans , loans that we only finished paying off in 2007. The USA was the only country that actually got richer during the war. Your country is hated throughout the world because your culture is plastic and tacky, you reward greed but ignore the needy.
The British cracked the enigma code at Bletchley Park (thanks to Alan Turing's computer.) If we hadn't cracked that code the war would have been lost. The Americans needed us to beat the Germans just as much as we needed you. Half the fighting soldiers at D-Day were British and Canadian. How would the USA have invaded Europe on their own? Where would you have launched an invasion from? How many extra troops would you have needed (troops you didn't have.) The UK airforce was the best of the war, our fighters were the best. Even your best fighter had a British Rolls Royce Merlin engine in it.
Your country is in decline and will soon be overcome by a united Europe, China and India. The USA has a lot of payback coming its way. And I'm looking forward to it.
The British have more Nobel prizes than any other nation apart from the USA; the USA's winners are nearly all European immigrants.
The USA wouldn't have had the Bomb if it wasn't for German and British scientists (search: MAUD nuclear.)And The UK was leading the race for the bomb until Churchill gave our technology to your government (search: Henry Tizard, Taffy Bowen and the cavity magnatron.) The cavity magnatron was one of the most important inventions EVER made in the modern world. I saw a documentary a year back with a top Yank guy on it saying the technology we gave you in WW2 was incredible.
I've actually just seen some Yank twat state the television, computer and iPod are American inventions. This highlights just how ignorant and stupid you people are. Even Apple had to acknowledge in court that Kane Kramer invented the iPod; Kane Kramer is British. The computer - search Charles Babbage and then Alan Turing. The TV - search John Logie-Baird.
Apple / Kane Kramer link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1053152/Apple-admit-Briton-DID-i...
Search The Industrial revolution, DNA discovery, antibiotics, The Royal Society, Greenwich Mean time (the world's time starts in London every day (LOL.)
If you can,buy the book: The Genius of Britain. You might learn something.
You Yanks have no idea (why is that not a surprise?) just how much the UK has given the world. There is no country in the world to rival our technological prowess over the last 400 years, for an island with a tiny population (our population was very small until the mid 1800s. Your ignorance of our superiority can be forgiven. I'm willing to forgive you, just as long as you stay in America and live in your cultureless cities with your crap music, falsely whitened teeth, terrible clothes and terrible cars.
Even your Indy cars are powered by British engines; I think most still are!) Cosworth are British. ILmor Mercedes are designed and built in Brixworth, England. Mercedes have all their Indycar and Formula1 engines designed and built in England. They eventually bought ILmor engineering because they couldn't match it's technological prowess in engine design. But it's still British engineers designing the engines in ENGLAND.
All the yanks dream of European cars, like Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, etc.; how many Europeans dream of buying yank cars? A big fat zero! Because they're shit.
You need European immigrant brains to give you technology. You wouldn't have NASA if it wasn't for a German after WW2. You wouldn't have a nuclear bomb if it wasn't for the Brits and Germans.
America was built on European brains and cheap slave labour (how could Europe compete when they had to pay their workers wages?) Your country is a cesspit (I travelled all over the states.) The USA is a giant wasteland of horrid buildings, ghettos and cultureless loud-mouthed simpletons.
We gave you the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, and countless more truly great rock artists. Your country gave us nothing to equal these; yet you are 300,000,000 strong!
Tim Berners-Lee (a UK brain) devised the world wide web; he gave it to the world - for free! He could have made billions. Would an American have done the same? I'm thinking: Bill Gates (creaming the world for as much money as he could.)
Your stupid President slates BP. If it wasn't for Bush inviting BP to "come and drill!" BP wouldn't have been there. If it wasn't for the American-built rig that broke the leak wouldn't be happening. If it wasn't for the USA being the worlds biggest consumer of oil, then BP wouldn't be there trying to extract oil to feed your fat-assed citizens gasoline so they can drive to the end of their drives to fetch their mail from the mailbox.
Btw, of BP's 88,000 employees, 23,000 are yanks. 40% of BP's shareholders are yanks. Your president is like the typical American - stupid!
My rant is heartfelt; I truly detest Americans. I genuinely feel sorry for you, because you actually believe your country is great. It's sad. When the world overtakes you, what will you be left with? A tacky society with truly horrendous cities. A population devoid of identity. A nation hated like no other. Soon the USA will be humiliated akin to how it has tried to humiliate so many nations around the world.
Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Henry Cavendish, Robert Hooke, Edward Jenner, Alexandra Fleming, James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday and many other UK scientists that shaped the modern world.
If it wasn't for Edward Jenner there would be no vaccinations, billions wouldn't be alive today. If it wasn't for A.Fleming there would be no antibiotics; billions more would have died. UK science saved billions of lives, and still does. In fact, most of the people reading this wouldn't have been born if it wasn't for these Brits.
9/11, now there's a fond memory! 3,000 less yanks.
The USA has been trying to own the land speed record for EVER, but time and time again the UK comes out winners. Face it, we're superior to you in every way.
"Don't wanna be an american idiot!"
"So I'm packing up and moving, to the UK!"
So anyway, I currently live in the US, and been born here... and I DID love how the US was. But now people here are just stupid as hell... They elect a dumbass president because he's fuckin black, the justice system here is a fuckin joke. The list goes on... I think I understand why some companies are moving to other countries.... I might move my company to the UK if I officially start one... May be the economy in UK is way better than the US. (Which I bet is)
here is the only reason why you need to know the uk is shit.
if you make 30K Pounds a year or more, you are taxed %40.
That right there is reason enough for me to say fuck all of you Paki lovin Fags.
Last time I checked, the Nazis never even set foot on British soil. So how did they successfully invade London?
I will list a few things that Britain invented:
Morality
The U.S.A
The World Wide Web
i think there is one thing on that list that we really need to apologize for
Dont diss UK yeah we make mistakes so do you Americans no countries perfect we all have our problems
and we have a good military
England till I die god save our queen
Oh and u moan that we dont have any teeth when arent a lot of americans overweight
Great britain is the best, we have Great in our name, you don't
ima teen from the usa and i think england is full of snotty bad humour.....like seriously wtf you guys were the most powerful nation in the world .....wtf happened....monarchy isnt working out for you...fuck the queen lolz ......u guys were just to lazy and weak to form an effective pollitical system...and just knelled down to the us
if we felt like it we would take england in a heartbeat...fucken pussies
fucken hate british humour urgh
most brits will say ohh ...americans dont get smart jokes...
how the fuck is monty python smart urrhghghghg its like if england stayed in 1910s view on humour
hi, i'm a british teen. the humour isnt bad in over here. its just depends on how you were bought up. there is a wide range of comody in britain, not all just monty python which is 30 years old.
the uk is a well run and respected place. the fall of the british empire was mainly down to europian competition and the distance armys had to go to control a region as when the british empire was at its full the fastest ships were only 7-10 knots. so to travel from britain to america it would take roughly 18 days. many places were far further than this so any revolt could take hold before our military could get there.
britain didnt kneel down to the usa. we work with you as allies although with news coverage and other media the usa public get the idea that they are better than the rest of the world... lets face it, if a show made that showed how great america is, obviously people would love to see their country succeed and jump on the band wagon.
i dont mean to insult america at all. i just think you shouldnt insult about us becuase we have a different culture, sense of humour, and background
ima teen from the usa and i think england is full of snotty bad humour.....like seriously wtf you guys were the most powerful nation in the world .....wtf happened....monarchy isnt working out for you...fuck the queen lolz ......u guys were just to lazy and weak to form an effective pollitical system...and just knelled down to the us

You know what I think because at this moment in time I can't be bothered to have a history lesson to show where I got all my conclusions from, in fact I'll just skip right down to the main the point. England could do so much better off without America, we stick out our necks for you all the bloody time never receive the slightest thing back. We may have an equal standing with America but if it weren't for us you wouldn't be so high up and mighty to begin. We could've beaten you for that matter of independence day but more or less resigned , a reason why we had preference not to acknowledge it. Like in football a draw is lose for us but a soccer draw is a win for you.
Sadly I can't find much to debate with in what you said, looks like you did not do the research and like to go by stereotypes. Your kind bothers me a lot, seriously I don't go calling Americans fat and stupid because that is too much of an overall response to go by.
There is some things I can poke at though, Victoria Beckham isn't a celebrity she's a footballers wife, big difference, not mention she's always trying to grab attention. Child pornography is highly frowned upon and anything related to it we ban and I sincerely feel sorry for this guy Todd since you probably use him as a target on a daily basis, least when you get the chance.
Now that all that's been said and done I'm going to have bangers and mash with some tea, adore the queen, marvel at my imperfect teeth and get drunk for this fourth of July and cry that I can't go on the hunt. Please note all the sarcasm, goodbye.
dude theres something wrong with you. we brits rule you. and tea is the best.
you really are up your own arse arent you mate :L im not going to justify this point, i dont need to! but basically, england (or britain as your call us) is better than america and your bunch of fat people and racist mother fuckers
what is this obsession by Americans for saying that they saved us in wars? In the first world war you turned up at the end after the worst years of the war, then the British army break through the Hindenberg line, the major turning point of the war, the British are by far the most effective army in the war. in the second world war you again joined late and had no real impact in the war against Germany. And you are only a "bigger" power than us now because we sacrificed our empire and wealth fighting Germany for the good of the world whilst you sat back and watched
That right there is reason enough for me to say fuck all of you Paki lovin Fags.
----------------------------------------------
and that is why Britain is better than America
Just my opinion mind you. I am an American citizen who has lived in England. My husband, an Englishman, now has an American green card. (we will be moving back to England early next yr) So we have seen both sides of this coin.
Pluses for England.
1) NHS! Knock if you must, but unless you have experienced both health care systems, it is kink of hard to judge fairly. I have, I have to tell you, the NHS is NOTHING like Americans think it is. There are so many rumors and out and out lies spread about socialized medicine it isn't funny. No one in the UK goes bankrupt because of mounting medical bills. You get sick in the UK you worry about getting well, not how are you going to pay for the doctors/hospital bills, nor do you have to choose between food and medication, as medication (when I left in 06) was 6 pounds a rx, no matter what it was.
2) Cars in England get almost 2/3 better gas mileage for the same make and model. Don't believe me google it. Go to ford.com and then ford.co.uk and compare for yourself.
3) Food is cheaper in the UK. People can actually afford to eat healthy. Here who can? It is cheaper to buy processed food than fresh fruit and veg. Disgusting really.
4) Public transportation is wonderful in England. Here in the US unless you live in a major city you better own a car because public transportation is unheard of for a large portion of the US.
5) The UK educational system is MUCH better than the US. The US is quickly slipping down the list globally as far as education is concerned.
6) Higher education is so expensive in the US. In the UK people can actually afford to go to Uni if they so wish.
7) In my personal opinion housing is much cheaper in England versus the US. However having said that I will say houses tend to be smaller than they are in the US.
8) WONDERFUL social support networks in place. Thanks to the taxes you pay in England you are guaranteed help if you ever need it.
9)I personally think the UK is more accepting of social diversities. Which is something I treasure. Having lived most of my like in the US I am getting fed up with all the racial issues, slurs and prejudices.
10) On a trivial note...travel is dirt cheap out of the UK. Try and travel internationally from the US and you better have a nice sized savings account to back you up. In the UK you can go to a variety of different countries cheaper than we can go to a different state in the US.
11) Most jobs in the UK give 5 weeks paid vacation starting day one. In the US you are lucky if you get 1 week unpaid after working a yr for the same company.
12) In the UK after working for a company for a yr they have to give you a job contract, which offers job stability. You don't have to worry about getting fired at any time, for any reason or no reason, like you do here in the US.
13) Wages for most jobs are at least 1/2 to 2/3 higher in the UK.
I could go on an on.
Pluses for the US...
1) All you can get buffets. Not found very often in England/UK.
2) Walmart, where if you need anything, day or night, just drive to wally world.
3) Depending on where you live in the US the weather can be nicer.
struggling here for more pluses lol.
I think England is a much nicer and socially and economically advanced country. It is definitely a better country to raise a family in.
heyy, you fuckin americans, im 11, and britain is amazin. oh, and also, did u know, america, has the most porn vids in the world. fuck u, im 11 and i know more than u, u probably got the IQ of 1 or summin, so here it is, I WIN, u lose fuckin retard. oh, and im a girl, and i know a lot more than all americans put together, oh, and also, we have these things called crisps, which, because ur so thick, u probably havent ever heard of them, fucker.
i've got to say, i know its independence day and all but i really hate this country. its going to hell and i'd much rather be in britain. all america cares about is starting shit with other countries, acting like they're the best, and eating. that is all.
Hi everyone!
OK, so what Americans are independent, and Britain invented more stuff. We should just get over it. Both countries share loads of things in common, like the language and... other stuff. I've never been to America, but I would like to because it looks cool. Everyone on this site is just biased because they're obviously just going to stick up for their home country. I like America and Britain equally. :)
Being british i long to visit America even though at the moment i cannot afford to because its FUCKING EXPENSIVO.
Lets just say that America has its own culture and way of doing things and it dosent really mix well with any other country when it comes to sports.......appart from in the olympics but thats just and excuse to run around in tight clothing we all know that.
I think thats part of the problem......English sports like Football ''soccer'', Rugby, cricket are played world wide where as America's national sports such as ''football'' baseball and basket ball are only really played in the states. If its some jelous thing you got going on because were getting on wth the rest of the world and in a nut shell your all left to jck off by yoursleves over there then fine get off your fat arses and come join the fun.
Now getting back to the military.........ok so America has probably the 3rd largest land army in the world. You also kill more with friendly fire then any other nation. I have lost count on how may British soldiers have died by Accident because you lot are way to trigger happy.
Were there to help not for fucking target practise.....learn to aim.
Oh and by the way britian is home to the most feard and well known crack commando's on the planet with more sucsessful missions conducted arount the globe then any other nation. i give you the S.A.S
Okay, the person who wrote that Germany successfully invaded London is a dumb-ass. It wasn't you that won the war for us, Winston did! His tactics saved hundreds of thousands of lives, were as instead of negociating with Japan you go and bloody nuke them, killing millions. BUT. America have given Britain great things like Michael Jackson, Lady GaGa and Elvis Presely. Were as Britain basically gave you pop music in the image of The Beatles. We inspired you for the music video (The Beatles could'nt go over to America and instead sent videos). Both countries are great and have suffered. We have both helped each other through bad times like America = 9/11 & Britain = World Wars I&II.
Please tell me you dident put 'Lady GaGa' with other music people who can actually sing.
I hope she's dead
Both america and Britain have its flaws, debt, government etc. There is no need to take it out on eachother. Britain and America are loyal allies. Did any of you personally fight in WWII? No, you didnt. Sure your grandparents might have, mine did, and he was saved by the Americans during a death march. Why you people are hurling abuse at eachother is ridiculous, "if America weren't here, britain would be fucked up" I agree, but I also agree that America would be fucked up if Britain werent here. Our troops are fighting America's war on freedom, why? Because we give a shit! So whilst you people fight over the internet, think of your soldiers and why they're dying for you next time.
It is rather rich that an American is spending too much time slating the Brits. If it wasn't for the British, Canada would be sharing a border with Mexico. Good to see you are so grateful for it.
By the way, if you didn't know, the European discovery of your continent was a complete accident.
well people tell me tell you this honey we british are far more healthier and stronger than you americans. you all are just fatso and some retarted people who only know how to stuff their mouth with foods. in case you don't know we invented the telephone you idiots. without us you would not be able to talk to your friends right now. it is true that we are not the strongest empire like once we had been because we were kind hearted to let them be independence. and our british currency is the most highest currency in the world. we have more better singers and celebreties than you people. we have teh most amazing country ever and better education than you. when are you americans finally going learn that we brits are better in many ways (but, not all) than you people. oh and yeah who helped you when your country was in war with japan. we and some randon countries and to tell you that truth teh germans never captured us cause we kicked their ass. no matter what we brits overcome you people. to tell you the truth i don't know what is america's fuckin problem cause i don't hate them unless they tell something bad about my country so america back off and stop showing off. we all know that you guys are not that strong and intelligent.
oh and america go fuck yourself, your mom, your whole family and shut up.
go england!!!
WOW u faggit yank cunts come out with some shit.germany occupied london lololololololol.NO.couldnt get in cuz we fought them off in the skies.plus if germany did take britain and russia .theres only 1 country left USA and u would of had the whole world on ur back so shut the fuck up u ill educated prick.bad teeth NO we just dont all have caps so they look fake like u lot.as 4 ur indipendance it was just a battle in the 100 year war with france ,nobody but america classes it as a war.we won 90 percent of the battles anyway, and ur that thick u cant see it was british rebels .french spanish and dutch that fought the british royals.NOT AMERICANS CUZ THE ONLY AMERICANS THAT WERE AROUND THEN WERTE THE NATIVES,USA WAS INVENTED AFTER god ur thick brainwashed,fat religeous cunts DIE
Lets face it, america is full of retards thats stuck in their pathetic little bubble thinking they are the greatest country in the world. when in fact its america that has fucked the world over, by causing pointless wars and in order to rape other countries of their oil and any means of protection ie. weapons.
they cause catastrophic disasters like tornado's, floods, tsunami's by taking control of the weather and using it as an aid for weapon.
oh and not to mention the chemtrails that has been sprayed all over the country for nearly a centry, which is why i think is the reason you lot are retarded, LOL you have all been brain washed by your government thinking the NWO is a good thing, Ha. just remember folks they did not build those 'FEMA CAMPS' for nothing, its to house all you retards and dispose of.
american government have big plans for the very very very near future, plans that will fuck evryone and everything ie 'DEPOPULATION' only thing is, everyone see's it coming apart from you folks.
have a nice life, whats left of it... RETARDS!
It's sad to see so many trolls on the net these days. On both sides. Seriously, is this the only reason you people use the internet? Troll fights? Exactly what do you think you will win? A life time supply of tea? A year's worth of cheeseburgers?
Yeah, I'm an American, I would be lying if I didn't say there were a lot of fat people around. But then again, you're just pretty pathetic if you have to throw in something about someone's outer appearance in to an argument as if it meant something other then to just troll somebody. Also, What good is history? Were you there? I doubt it, I doubt anyone here can safely talk about anything about actual history because all we have to go on are these small artifacts and testamony. Testamony can be false.
I have no beef with England, or Germany, or any other country for that matter. I just think you trolls who just keep on putting everyone down should go back silently under your bridges, GoldenGate or otherwise. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go back and enjoy my time being the fat, jolly guy I am, and if you don't like it, go fuck yourself.
Bye-sies! ^_^
Just face it, all you American's have lost your way in life, and are full of greed/Aggression/hate, you think you have the best country but you dont, in fact it is probably the worst country right now, but i dont blame the american people but i do blame your government.
it is only a matter of time before your government distroy the world.
I just have to say that Germany never occupied London. Britain was one of the few countries to never be occupied by the German forces in WW2 - a testament to the bravery and resilience of the British troops at the time. However, the US did finish the job after everyone else on the European front had done the heavy lifting. Japan, however, was very much an American job from the very start, so the troops who fought there have to be given credit for that. You should at least get your facts right before insulting the nation from which the people who started the country you now call your own came from. British people who came over here in the 1600s brought civilization to a vast and wild land, and did more for this country than you have ever done or ever will do. They are the real Americans and you should be proud to call the Brits your closest allies because we're the same blood. I've lived in the US doing an internship for the last year and I'm proud to call them our closest allies but your comments really disappoint me.
Well I love America, I live in Florida. I see many attractive ladys here. I enjoy the movies we produce. I like hot tea when the tempature is low. I believe the USA and Britain are two great nations. I am of normal BMI (Body mass index) for my age. I live in a condo with a stunning view. I wish weed was legal. I wish all you would just take a hit and shut the fuck up. I get laid. I dont have any STD's or small pox. I enjoy the diversity in America. I want to traval more as I proceed into this amazing world. I believe England will be one of the places I get to appreciate. I have healthcare and dental care. my credit score is outstanding. I drive a German made vehicle. I am in a relationship with a girl who moved here from west London. When I lived in London for about a year me and my english buddys would watch the Steelers from our comfortable pub down the road. I have seen 2 bombings while occupying London with MY own eyes. The bombings I witnessed are the responsibilty of the IRA and that is one of the reasons I moved to Florida. But I love England and America
THOUGHT YOU AMERICAN RETARDS SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!
http://www.delawarepolitics.net/so-why-does-obama-hate-the-british/
How could you Americans be so cruel? When most of the British secretly do like you. Lmao
Look Krisi i agree London is shit, its to crowded and people always seem fucking grumpy, and im English, but the rest of the country is far more distant...exept maybe Manchester but especially the south west which is far more friendly to people in my opinion.
Why have Americans got such a superiority complex, everyone knows they only entered WW2 to test out new weapons, sick bastards. The war was already won.
Very uneducated people in my opinion.
The Internet was originally developed by DARPA - the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - as a means to share information on defense research between involved universities and defense research facilities.
Originally it was just email and FTP sites as well as the Usenet, where scientists could question and answer each other. It was originally called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency NETwork). The concept was developed starting in 1964, and the first messages passed were between UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute in 1969. Leonard Kleinrock of MIT had published the first paper on packet switching theory in 1961. Since networking computers was new to begin with, standards were being developed on the fly. Once the concept was proven, the organizations involved started to lay out some ground rules for standardization.
One of the most important was the communications protocol, TCP/IP, developed by Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn in 1974. Robert Metcalfe is credited with Ethernet, which is the basic communication standard in networked computers.
Tim Berners-Lee, who perhaps specified technological applicability and/or linguistic construction of HTML while working at CERN, is chiefly credited for the ease of use and wide public adoption of the web. His website is: w3.org.
Al Gore really did have a substantial part in the US legal framework and governmental issues related to the Internet; he never said he invented it.
There wasn't just ONE person who invented the Internet. The Internet is just a way to view files and information that someone puts onto a server. The Internet is just a way to access the information.
Leonard Kleinrock was the first person to write a paper on the idea of packet switching (which is essential for the Internet to work. He wrote this idea in 1961.
Others who were essential to what we now call the Internet. (Without these guys, the Internet wouldn't exist):
Larry G. Roberts created the first functioning long-distance computer networks in 1965 and designed the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), the seed from which the modern Internet grew, in 1966.
Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf invented the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which moves data on the modern Internet, in 1972 and 1973. If any two people "invented the Internet," it was Kahn and Cerf - but they have publicily stated that "no one person or group of people" invented the Internet.
Radia Perlman invented the spanning tree algorithm in the 1980s. Her spanning tree algorithm allows efficient bridging between separate networks. Without a good bridging solution, large-scale networks like the Internet would be impractical.
While people have known about the powerful effects of lightning for thousands of years, the first person to discover that lightning was a naturally occuring form of electricity was Benjamin Franklin. In 1752, during a dangerous electrical storm, Franklin flew a kite that had a metal key at the bottom of the string. When a bolt of lightning hit the kite, a spark of electricity flew from the key! From this experiment, Franklin invented the lightning rod, which attracts lightning and draws it into the ground. This saves many buildings from burning down.
No-one made electricity because it was always there in lightning
God, because before man used and knew the use of electricity, God used it as lightning (clouds, weather). He created us (humans) with nerves that are connected to brains and exchange information trough (electric) pulses, etc.
But if you mean human.
600 B.C. Thales of Miletus writes about amber becoming charged by rubbing - he was describing what we now call static electricity.
1600 A.C. English scientist, William Gilbert first coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber. Gilbert wrote about the electrification of many substances in his "De magnete, magneticisique corporibus". He also first used the terms electric force, magnetic pole, and electric attraction.
1660 A.C. Otto von Guericke invented a machine that produced static electricity.
1747 A.C. Benjamin Franklin experiments with static charges in the air and theorized about the existence of an electrical fluid that could be composed of particles. William Watson discharged a Leyden jar through a circuit, that began the comprehension of current and circuit. Henry Cavendish started measuring the conductivity of different materials
1752 A.C. Benjamin Franklin invented the lightening rod - he demonstrated lightning was electricity.
1786 A.C. Italian physician, Luigi Galvani demonstrated what we now understand to be the electrical basis of nerve impulses when he made frog muscles twitch by jolting them with a spark from an electrostatic machine.
1821 A.C First electric motor (Faraday).
Farnsworth or Zworykin?
The Americans will tell you it was Philo Taylor Farnsworth (what a name!). The Russians and RCA will tell you it was Vladimir Zworykin, duly credited with inventing the iconscope, or TV camera tube. But like all complex devices, the television had many contributing inventors.
Farnsworth
Philo Farnsworth was an American engineer born in 1906 who researched television picture transmission. He developed the dissector tube, which is the basis of all current electronic televisions. In 1927, Philo Farnsworth became the first inventor to transmit a television image.
Nipkov and Baird
While Farnsworth did invent the tube, it was Nipkov in 1895 who proved that pictures could be transmitted by wires. The NIPKOV DISC Transmission and Receiver was a Mechanical scanning TV, and several broadcasting stations were using the Nipkov technique. John Logie Baird was also a Mechanical tv inventor. These Television systems were in full production and broadcasting much before Farnsworth's television and his patent, which subsequently set the standards for broadcast TV.
The invention of the television was the result of several moving picture "toys" from the Thaumatrope and Zeotrope, to the Praxinoscope. All these used the principle of Persistence of Vision. Although the existing TV system is far advanced from the early TV systems, one thing remains the same : persistance of vision.
(see related link to Baird)
Timeline of Inventions
Television was not invented by a single inventor, instead many people working together and alone, contributed to the evolution of TV.
1831: Joseph Henry's and Michael Faraday's work with electromagnetism makes possible the era of electronic communication to begin.
1862: Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his "pantelegraph" and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires.
1873: Scientists May and Smith experiment with selenium and light, this opens the door for inventors to transform images into electronic signals.
1876: Boston civil servant George Carey was thinking about complete television systems and in 1877 he put forward drawings for what he called a "selenium camera" that would allow people to "see by electricity." Eugen Goldstein coins the term "cathode rays" to describe the light emitted when an electric current was forced through a vacuum tube.
Late 1870's: Scientists and engineers like Paiva, Figuier, and Senlecq were suggesting alternative designs for "telectroscopes."
1880: Inventors like Bell and Edison theorize about telephone devices that transmit image as well as sound. Bell's photophone used light to transmit sound and he wanted to advance his device for image sending. George Carey builds a rudimentary system with light-sensitive cells.
1881: Sheldon Bidwell experiments with telephotography, another photophone.
1884: Paul Nipkow sends images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology calling it the "electric telescope" with 18 lines of resolution.
1900: At the World's Fair in Paris, the 1st International Congress of Electricity was held, where Russian, Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of the word "television."
Soon after, the momentum shifted from ideas and discussions to physical development of TV systems. Two paths were followed:
Mechanical television - based on Nipkow's rotating disks, and
Electronic television - based on the cathode ray tube work done independently in 1907 by English inventor A.A. Campbell-Swinton and Russian scientist Boris Rosing.
1906: Lee de Forest invents the "Audion" vacuum tube that proved essential to electronics. The Audion was the first tube with the ablity to amplify signals. Boris Rosing combines Nipkow's disk and a cathode ray tube and builds the first working mechanical TV system.
1907: Campbell Swinton and Boris Rosing suggest using cathode ray tubes to transmit images - independent of each other, they both develop electronic scanning methods of reproducing images.
American Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian �migr� Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model.
1923: Vladimir Zworykin patents his iconscope a TV camera tube based on Campbell Swinton's ideas. The iconscope, which he called an "electric eye" becomes the cornerstone for further television development. He later develops the kinescope for picture display.
1924 - 1925: American Charles Jenkins and John Baird from Scotland, each demonstrate the mechanical transmissions of images over wire circuits. Photo Left: Jenkin's Radiovisor Model 100 circa 1931, sold as a kit. Baird becomes the first person to transmit moving silhouette images using a mechanical system based on Nipkow's disk. Vladimir Zworykin patents a color television system.
1926: John Baird operates a 30 lines of resolution system at 5 frames per second.
1927: Bell Telephone and the U.S. Department of Commerce conduct the first long distance use of TV, between Washington D.C. and New York City on April 9th. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover commented, "Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the world's history. Human genius has now destroyed the impediment of distance in a new respect, and in a manner hitherto unknown." Philo Farnsworth files for a patent on the first complete electronic television system, which he called the Image Dissector. Most experts in the field credit Philo Farnsworth with the invention of the modern television.
Aryabhatta
Aryabhata was the first in the line of great mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His most famous works are the Aryabhatiya (499 CE, when he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta. The mathematical part of the Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry, and spherical trigonometry. It also contains continued fractions, quadratic equations, sums-of-power series, and a table of sines. He gives 0 & Pie, the most valuable elements of science. Aryabhata appears to have believed that the earth rotates about its axis.Aryabhata states that the Moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight. Instead of the prevailing cosmogony in which eclipses were caused by pseudo-planetary nodes Rahu and Ketu, he explains eclipses in terms of shadows cast by and falling on Earth. Thus, the lunar eclipse occurs when the moon enters into the Earth's shadow (verse gola.37). He discusses at length the size and extent of the Earth's shadow (verses gola.38-48) and then provides the computation and the size of the eclipsed part during an eclipse. Later Indian astronomers improved on the calculations, but Aryabhata's methods provided the core.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein, because of his revolutionary work on special and general relativity.
There are scientists trying to prove his special and general relativity theories are wrong. They've shown a tiny bit may be incorrect. Therefore in a few years, there may be another theory.
Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton invented the calculus, and did seminal work in optics, mechanics, gravity, and physics. Newton accomplished more in a broader range of fields than any scientist before or since. Also Isaac newton had made very intelligent laws of motion!!
Einstein's relativity revolutionized our concept of gravity and cosmology. This would make Einstein the greatest scientist of the 20th century. Cases could be made for Edward Jenner, who developed the smallpox vaccine, or Fritz Haber, who invented the Haber-Bosch process for making ammonia fertilizers from atmospheric nitrogen. Archimedes was a pretty great scientist, two millenia ago. I know of Stephen Hawkings work, and although it is seminal, I would not characterize it as revolutionary. He has done great work, and should appear on any list of the top dozen 20th century thinkers, but I wouldn't say his work qualified him for the foremost position. The answer to this question is largely a matter of personal opinion, and I would have to stick with Isaac Newton, in terms of overall impact upon the world.
Stephen Hawking
It really depends on personal opinion. I would say professor Stephen Hawkings.
Their have been four major scientists, in the history of mankind, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. All accomplished great things but the early ones such as Galileo and Newton were restricted by the technology of their times. Personally my choice would also be Stephen Hawking solely because he suffers from ALS and does most his equations in his head, but Einstein is very close.
Stephen Hawking's equations are done by his students.
The three most influential scientists:
Galileo Galilei
Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of science", and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science."
Sir Isaac Newton
English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men in human history. His Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion. In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of both momentum and angular momentum.
In optics, he built the first practical reflecting telescope, and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours which form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.
In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the differential and integral calculus.
A 2005 survey of scientists in Britain's Royal Society asking who had the greater effect on the history of science, Newton or Albert Einstein. Newton was deemed the more influential.
Many people agree that Newton is the greatest scientist, but neglect to mention the people who helped him. Without him there would have been much less progress in the world.
Charles Darwin
English naturalist who realised and presented compelling evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors, through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s, and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, providing logical explanation for the staggering diversity of life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci is without doubt the greatest scientist of all time
Edward Witten
We have learned a lot about the world and how it works since we began investigating it. And everyone is standing on the shoulders of those before him, whatever the field of investigation. In advanced physics, we are still probing the ultimate nature of reality. Edward Witten is at the forefront of these scientists, and he is still at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.
When the ultimate nature of matter, energy and the reality of the universe is pulled together, he may be the man to do it. He has unified string theory and is still a major force in physics, and works at the cutting edge of theory. On a sad note, it is unfortunate that Stephen Hawking is so limited by his medical difficulties. He and Dr. Witten would be able to generate an intense dialogue over what it is that really makes up the "most reduced" form of matter.
James Clerk Maxwell
Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism, and founded electrodynamics through the collection of four equations now known as Maxwell's Equations. These equations lead Maxwell to discover that light was nothing other than electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell's Equations formed the basis and inspirations for the two major scientific revolutions of the 20th Century, relativity and quantum mechanics. Even after the radically changed landscape of physics after these revolutions, Maxwell's Equations prove remarkably universal.
There is no one greatest scientist, but there are great scientists; those who contribute significantly to one field of study, or who found one, or contribute to multiple fields of study in a significant way, or alter the way all of humanity percieves the world in a profound way. All of the aforementioned people did this, and many more.
fine
Dr. Martin Cooper invented the mobile phone and made the world's first mobile phone call on April 3rd, 1973.
A few things
1) Double decker buses exist to carry more people, the reason why you're all fat is because you eat those massive burgers.
2) Just because everyone is America got their teeth bleached doesn't make them any better (apart from aesthetically) than anyone else.
3) Britain has been involved in many more wars than the American war of independence (which you would of lost if it wasn't for help from the french).
4) Who gives a shit about Victoria Beckham? Besides there are plenty of people who are going to be fanous stateside but not in Britain.
5) It really doesn't matter which side of the road you drive on.....
6) American football is shit (how is it even called football??), real football is much better and the alcohol consumed by the people at that crappy stadium is probably just a tiny of fraction of what is drunk in Scotland or Ireland during a game lol (No offense to Scottish/Irish people but you guys do drink quite a lot).
7) Britain hasn't been invaded for the best part of 1000 years, The Nazis never invaded London (only the channel islands), Ever heard of the battle of Britain you idiot?
8) Child porn is illegal in Britain as well
9) The film actually has a point....
Also one last thing It Britain/UK NOT England you fucking moron (Oh and you're hardly the land of the free if it was only 45 years ago that black people got equal rights and even today black people live in far worse condition than white people)
George Washington served in the British army in the Seven Years War against the French - he was British stock, as were nearly ALL the Americans in 1776.
The War of Independence was really a civil war; a civil war the UK government had no hope of financing (and continually ferrying soldiers across the Atlantic year after year) once the French started to help the rebels.
Btw, did any of you Americans know that the reason a tax was imposed on tea imports was to help pay for the incredibly costly war the UK fought to keep the Americans safe from French invasion in the Seven Years War a few years prior to 1776? That war was won against the French; the British thrashed the pants off the French all over the globe - it cost A LOT of money. They had to raise money and felt it only fair the Americans pay toward that cost, as the Americans would have been speaking French and stinking of garlic if the Redcoats hadn't been sent to protect you.
The French -still smarting over their defeat in the Seven Years War a few years earlier- did all they could to aid the yanks in defeating the UK. But what the twat writing the article doesn't realise is that nearly every battle in that war was won by the Redcoats - the American history books even acknowledge it. But the UK was running out of troops (and money,) and the French navy/troops tipped the balance. So, you divvy-brained twat who's written the crass article to try and wind as many people up as he can in order to make his website "controversial" and "hip," go get a life stacking shelves or something, because you're not very good at this shit.
One thing you should all remember is: there are no prouder people than the people of the United Kingdom; we are a nation of genius minds, invention, innovation, bravery, and cultural richness. Every Brit reading this article will simply walk away with an even dimmer view of the "American." Brits know how lucky they are to be born British.
Holy crap Batman! What are these... these comments are so stupid I don't even...
Hilarious article- I for one, recognized the satire. But these comments? Stupid British AND American people.
Quit hating each other and give peace a chance, okay? You all sound like blibbering idiots. Stop stereotyping.
Peace out. <3
You're a fucking idiot. Germany never successfully invaded England and certainly did not occupy London. Lrn2history. And also England drive on the left side of the road because Napoleon never invaded England. Countries that Napoleon had influence on drive on the right side of the road because he was left handed. This meant it was easier for him to strike at someone if they were to the left of him.
NEW WORLD ORDER IS COMING YOUR WAY! IN FACT EVERY ONES WAY VERY SOON!
PEACE ALL.
I'm british (not english, scottish :D) and tbh... i hate both of these nations and have drawn the conclusion that America is better than england... but not Britain.
But man yo got some of yo 'facts' wrong
1. England was never occupied because of the english fighter planes, 'Spitfires'.
2. England arn't all sophisticated Twats like you sed. Look up English chavs and scousers, if you think all english are posh, this will realy mind fuck ya
3. Well... there isnt a number 3... its just arguments look better with 3 points :D
So FUCK England and FUCK America
Well being half Scottish and Half English myself i am ashamed to here a fellow British person talking that way about a Neighbouring country, i must say you one in a million!
I think you mixing your thoughts on what you actually believe, i understand its the ENGLISH SPORTS MEDIA most Scottish are really annoyed with not ENGLAND or ENGLISH folk on a whole.
Please.... You guys.... you must remember how and why ALL AMERICANS ARE DUMB FUCKING RETARDS!!
Here's Why,
The American Government that they love so much have been spray chemicals in the sky 'CHEMTRAILS' for many many years without the American public battering an eyelid,These chemtrails contain Barium, which acts as a neural interceptor, is clearly working, the U.S. public isn't doing anything while their government sprays them like bugs and rats.
This process has been DUMBING them down slowly but surely, hence this is why they are so dumb.
At least us Brits noticed and safeguarded ourselves until other agencies managed to get this tests stopped, well not completely but non the less we know whats happening and full aware and there are ways and means to protect ourselves.
FOR ALL YOU AMERICAN DUMB ASS PEOPLE;
http://libertyforlife.com/military-war/chemtrails.htm
Oh, and another thing, STOP SAYING GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT FAMILY IS JUST LIKE THE MAFIA!
THIS WAS THE 'BRITISH/GERMAN' FAMILY THAT WAS OUT IN GERMANY SUPPORTING THE GERMANS DURING THE FUCKING WORLD WAR 1.
AND YES IM BRITISH AND VERY FUCKING PROUD BUT I REALLY DONT LIKE THE ROYAL FAMILY, YOU SHOULD TRY AND DO SOME RESEARCH ON THEM BEFORE YOU WRITE STUPID LITTLE COMMENTS LIKE 'GOD SAVE THE QUEEN'!
Hey guys... check this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TO ALL US BRITS;
YOU NO WHAT, DON'T LIKE AMERICA DON'T THINK I WILL BOTHER.
You know, this makes me proud to be English, because every little part of his pathetic speech is incorrect.
America was discovered by England, and you only got your independence day in the 1900's.
You stick to your fat fucking country, and leave us Brits alone. You lanky fuckers.
It makes me laugh you're using the word bloody a lot throughout this when it's a British word you silly American.
Now sit down America I know you're a teenage country with a big dick and small brain but you need to get used to the fact you're a copy cat. Also England OWNED you and you're only here because of the UK. Truthfully England's owned a lot of countries and you're the trigger happy country who began world war two. Why because you supported Fascism in Spain that England tried to prevent it which had a domino affect and it's how Hitler learned of it. Then you come about in wars at the very end claiming you're the fucking hero you no good dirty bastard.
god, reading the comments from brits and americans arguing over who's got the biggest... it's hilarious!
by the way, britain never was invaded by the germans, and london certainly wasn't occupied? they only got bombed.
Lived in California all my life very entertaining you Brits should come check it out sometime you will love it. What's London like mate? I always wanted to go. The USA and England are both great countries that clearly have pride. But when it comes down to it they even out. I mean yeah America has a lot of worthless fat retards but there's not as many as u think when u actually come here and see for yourself just like England doesn't have that many crooked teeth citizens both nations are very educated and yeah America has better colleges because there's a lot more of them so it's not fair to compare these countries because of the USA's massive size and different timezones. But England obviously has much better history. It cracks me up seeing all these Americans ripping on the english considering for all the white people here have ancestors who originated in England. And not once did an American thank England for our great language. But then again u brits can't be so closed minded and think every American is a fat inbreed because we are quite developed. The way I see it America is a giant multiple raced high violent country and England is more safe but then again it's much bigger here so there's more places to travel. I love England and the USA I love our celebrities and movies and am the biggest beatles fan u will ever meet.
Wow-
I was brought up to love England, and I was so enamored with your people, your culture, London especially... What history! And we, America, are founded on England. I always thought our countries were friends and would look out for each other.
But after reading comments like these, so full of blind hate for me and my family whom you've never met, only sterotyped, I'm not so sure how I feel about England or English people anymore. What a shame to see this. :(
The Hidden Forces
In this hub, I wish to talk about the secretive agenda of the power elite and events that will take place in the near future to further their plans for a one world government. I will present as much information as I can exposing the cabal and it's secretive agenda which they hope to finalise by 2012.
To some of you, this may be just another conspiracy theory and nothing more than fiction, but I will do my best to present credible facts and also encourage you to do your own research.
To fully understand the events that have transpired in the twentieth century, we must not only look at the facts but also try to uncover the hidden forces that have veiled themselves for a long time. The freedom of the United States and the peace and security of the planet are at stake.
Who Really Makes The Rules?
An American historian by the name of Carol Quigley published a book in 1965 called Tragedy and Hope in which he exposed the deceptive cabal of international bankers;
"...The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. this system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations..." [Tragedy and Hope].
In another chapter, he says;
"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Group has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, of any other groups, and frequently does so.
I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments.
I have objected, but in the past and recently, to a few of its policies (notably to its belief that England was an Atlantic rather than a European Power and must be allied, or even federated, with the United States and must remain isolated from Europe), but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wished to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known".
The successors of the Round Table today are Royal Institute of International Affairs in the U.K and Council on Foreign Relations in the U.S.A. The CFR was founded by, and is mainly funded by, David Rockefeller who comes from a prominent banking family.
What Quigley wrote about more than 40 years ago is even truer today. With the recent financial crisis in the U.S and the resulting "bailout" of the banks by public funds, there should be no doubt remaining that the people who call the shots in government are affiliated with the powerful banking elite like J.P Morgan, Rockefellers, and E.C. Grenfell etc. who are all members of organizations like the CFR and Trilateral comission.
The Idea of World Government
The foundation for modern day secret organizations was laid by a man named Cecil Rhodes, a British imperialist in South Africa, who advocated a one world government led by Anglo-Saxons. In his view, the British empire had the right to rule Africa, parts of Asia and the orient, and the colonies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Rhodes was a freemason and establised a Rhodesian secret society to further his goal for Anglo-Saxon rule. This secret society spawned the Round Table Group and ultimately, the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) which is known to be the architect of most of the policies of the U.S government. Majority of CFR memebrs are also into masonry.
The powerful elites at the helm of these groups desire nothing short of total control of this planet and it's people. There is a global cartel of financial institutions that is able to dominate the political system of each country and it's economy, thereby influencing governments and their policies
To implement their agenda in the U.S, this group used their influence in the government and the congress to establish the Federal Reserve System, a banking establishment which was controlled by this cartel of private banks. The Federal Reserve was then allowed to print money and loan it to the government on interest.
Control of the Economy through the Federal Reserve
So what does the Federal Reserve have to do with global control?
To really understand the whole story, we need to undertsand how the bankers work. Here's what one of the founding fathers of America, Thomas Jefferson said 200 years ago,
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
This is exactly what's happening today. The American Dollar is at it's lowest spending power in over 50 years. Roughly 1% of the population, around 3 million people, are homeless on any given night. Inflation and gas prices are out of control and people are losing their savings. It seems very likely that the younger generation will be worse off than their parents. With the member banks as the stock owners, the Federal Reserve is manipulating to protect the banks.
These bankers have bought elections and the American government in the past, all at the expense of the people and their hard earned money. It's our tax money that fianaces their schemes. And they are using that money to carry out a devious plan which will see completion by the end of 2012.
The economic crisis that we are in was planned by these bankers. The Fed created the conditions for the bubble, knowing very well that people would not be able to payback the loans and ultimately, the government will come in and bail-out the banks using taxpayers money.
But - like they say in the infomericals - wait, there's more. The crisis is not over and the U.S economy and the Dollar are on the verge of a collapse. The fall of the dollar will send consumer prices to the stratospehere. This engineered collapse will cause a lot of social unrest and chaos in society, which will be used as an excuse to establish martial law in America.
People will start using other currencies, like the Euro, and the American way of life will be history. The globalists may also use this opportunity to merge the United States with Canada and Mexico thereby creating a North American Union. That will essentially spell the end of American sovreignty.
Plan 2012
So what exactly do these secretive elite want? Well other than a one world government in which they call the shots and control the resources of the world, they plan on reducing the population of the world by bringing it down to 500 million and then control them by technological means. They hope to implement their plans by the end of 2012.
And why 2012? That's indeed another topic for another HP, but briefly speaking, because they are obssesed with numerology; and according to their occult knowledge, the year 2012 holds special power when "unseen forces" will be unleashed. The date of 21 December 2012 is propagated to be the start of a "new age". An age where humans will supposedly "evolve" to a higher degree. In some circles, it's also believed to be the date when the world would come to an end.
The folks who are promoting these ideas have an esoteric agenda. This group of people, for centuries, has immeresed itself into gaining knowledge of occultism, and has been communicating with trans-dimensional entities. As incredulous as this may sound, there is conclusive evidence about the activities of secret societies like the freemasons, skull & bones, the bohemian grove and church of satan, etc. that proves, without a shadow of a doubt, that these people are into demon worship. They follow the same traditions as the ancient egyptians and the baylonians who practiced black magic; they even use the exact same symbols the ancient egyptians used.
At this point, one would ask why...? To most people, it does not make any sense, that these rich people, who have all the wealth and power in the world would want to enslave all of humanity by bringing them under a singular global government. These men are not merely satisfied with money and power. They want absolute control over other human-beings, they want to become gods.
This is where occult knowledge comes into play. As I mentioned earlier, the entities these bourgeois submit to are transdimensional beings; with whom they communicate using mystic black magic. The have sworn allegiance to these creatures and their master, satan himself, who they call Lucifer.
Now if all of this sounds like an imaginary story to you or you think that I am hallucinating after smoking something really good (or bad...depending on your views), I ask you to be patient, because I will provide solid proof to back-up these claims. But let's come back to their agenda for humanity.
Depopulation of the World
One of the main goals of the global power elite is to control the population of the world. Their aim is to bring down the population to 500 million (google Agenda 21 & Georgia Guidstones). This goal of depopulation is already in progress and being implemented through various "programs".
One of these "programs" is called Codex Alimentarius, which is administered by the United Nations and is a published nutritional guideline. The health agencies of different countries, under these guidelines, determine what you can or cannot consume. And the consumption of viatmins and minerals is discouraged by attempting to classify them as drugs.
The global food supply is also manipulated by genetically modifying the crops and changing their nutritional characteristics. This genetic modification is extremely dangerous and can cause preventable diseases resulting in hunderds of millions of deaths.
Another weapon used against the masses is the flouridation of water supplies. In most North American cities, the water coming into people's homes contains flouride which is added in by the city corporations. Flouride is an industrial toxin and is poisonous. It was used by the Nazi's to control aggressive behaviour in the people in thier concentration camps. Case in point, it is a compund used in many anti-depressants like Prozac.
Flouride is known to be a cause for a number of medical problems, including cancer, brittle bone disease, immune deficiency, mental sedation, and even reduced IQ.
Vaccines are given to people - specially young children - that contain traces of mercury. People are lining up for flu shots without realizing that they are being poisoned.
Also, the U.S government has been spreading toxins in the air by airplanes known as chemtrails. Other techniques used in the quest to eliminate people include nuclear war, famine, and false flag biological attacks like the avian flu.
One World Religion
There is - under the guise of combining universal principles of all faiths - a goal to create a singular religion for which there will be one leader or "pope".
Now, there is nothing wrong with developing harmony between people and working for a peaceful world, but to authorize a "new way in a new age" and condemn the Abrahamic Faiths as "mere dogmas" and 'fundamentalist ideologies" is quite dangerous. The elite are using the new age and environmental movements to brainwash people into believing that the earth, or gaia, is our mother and that we should love (worship) it and stop CO2 emmissions (which, by the way, is what plants breath in).
Even some of the religious communities are jumping on the environmentalist bandwagon and "praying for the revival of the earth's energy". Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey are promoting new age gurus and their philosohpies on how all of us are "gods" and how we can "perform miracles".
So why is that dangerous? Simply because these aesthetic beliefs do away with moral values and the sense of right and wrong that the Abrahamic faiths give us. When you believe that you will not be accountable for your deeds and you alone should decide what is chaste and righteous, than you live as you please, without any guilt and not bound by any moral restraints.
My intent here is not to promote any one specific religion but to inform people and to stop them for falling for an ideology that is trying to do away with belief in one single Creator and wants to establish a theosophical system which goes hand in hand with the new world order.
Tagging People With RFIDs
There is also a lot of talk about of Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) chips, which isthe size of a single grain of rice, and it's so-called benefits. The mainstream media is promoting it as a technological saviour, necessary for the safety and security of the people. RFIDs have been used to tag dogs and other pets, but the FDA has approved it to be used on humans as well.
Over 500 hospitals have alrerady started implanting radio chips for accessing a person's medical records. Everyone who is tagged, their personal information will be stored in a database. In theory, every tagged person can be tracked wherever they go and whatever they do. The ultimate plan is to digitize all money so the only way people will be able to pay is if they have a chip implanted in their hands.
The people who are pushing this technology for mass use want a class of people that can be tracked and kept under control, thus creating an orwellian society.
In country land size comparison the UK is more powerful than USA, the UK wasn't taken over in WW2, or 1, Hitler couldn't get into England, we still had an empire in WW2, France & Poland were taken over, but I have to admit it was USA that really helped to win WW2, but it took them a while to join. The English are not tea-drinking fancy-pants, well some are, but some are in a lot of countries INCLUDING USA. The UK had the BIGGEST empire and navy in history. We created America when we colonised it. Americans may think we are tea-drinking fancy-pants but the English (and most other countries) think the Americans are fat bastards. In fact America 'LIKES' the UK overall, so does Russia, the UK is a 'LIKED' country (although USA doesn't really like USSR), the UK likes USA and USSR too, without USA we wouldn't have The Simpsons, and without USSR we wouldn't have... well i don't know, but still. Chinese Mandarin and ENGLISH are also the worlds most spoken languages. England also invented lots of things including the computer chip, which made most electronical items around today including, mobile phones, computers and digital cameras. The Greeks discovered electricity, but the English were first to properly use it. The telephone was invented in the UK (Scotland), also early forms of modern day televisions were invented in the UK (Scotland). Timothy Berners-Lee invented the internet and he's English, but lives in USA now. I'm not saying the USA is bad, i'm just saying the UK isn't bad either.
You racist son of a bitch.
That's all I'm saying.
At least England have better manners than you; cheese dick.
And read up on your history.
Love, (ever so sarcastic), a fellow British woman.
LOL you're thick as shit.
99% of us have nice teeth.
we were one of the only european countries not to get invaded by germany and stayed unconquered throughout all of WW2.
churchill was overrated i'll give you that, but it doesn't change the fact that he was a better war time leader than any of your presidents.. ahem.. bush.. LOL faggot.
the weather is normal, cold autumns, sunny summers, nice springs and the occasional harsh winter.
the people in US are not more polite, you can't even spell or speak english properly.
American tv is over the top, cheesy, and just shit in general, plus FOX is the most corrupt television station on earth except for stations in North korea.
we have a better legal system, better media, better people, better standard of living, more equality, a better health system, less violence, and we are not all pussy little christians so we have charles darwin on our currency and not 'in god we trust'. America wouldn't exist without britain.
go fuck yourself.
:D Amen to that.
At least we both know our history. Unlike this guy.
The dick cheese that thinks he knows all.
Your comment made me laugh because it is so DAMN TRUE.
And being a fellow British woman, I know many people that have nice teeth. :) so I agree with you on the 99% thing.
Let's just say, I agree with you on everything you said. 'Cause the guy that wrote about England, really has no clue what the heck he's talking about.
What sentence is written at the bottom of the cenotaph Washington D.C
....WALES FOREVER!
America knows we're better and England does too.
either way a say it you entered the war after the japan attacked hawai you idots then germany declared war on you,then you came into the war rather than selling arms and food too us you fekking black market muder fuckers
Yeahhhh u say Britain is shit cuz we lost are colonies there we dont class it as a major war we were to busy fighting france and u say we got beat by you yea most of which we trained by britain and you got beat by vietnam not even the whole of vietnam it was in a civl war an it still beat you most powerull army in the world my arse u got beat by a bunch of slitted eyed farmers oh and yea your president begged britain to help did we need you in falklandd mmmmmm NO your shit and jeleaous OF GREAT BRITAIN
Ha ha I thought it was a rumour that American's have an average IQ of 50.
Hey,
Okay so i am an American. I met my boyfriend who is English I love living in America but 6 months out of the year i live in England with my boyfriend. Being American it really makes me sad to read this and know that I am connected in some way to these other ignorant people. I bet most of the people who are commenting on this that are American have not even left the country? Am i right? Not saying that all English people are super smart and extremely polished on manners and such because belive me... they arent. To be fair i dont like the london accent, but in England there are so many different types of accent from area to area that you have to find one =). They have trailer trash in England just like we do in America so you cant really say one is better than the other in that aspect. We both have country folk. But i must say i like English food better, there is so much more variety and culture here. BUT there are some american food that i love and miss while im in England, like american mustard =( miss it!! Anywho when it comes to football im sorry but the English are right. American football should be called something else. I love both sports so im not really being biased. Our football is really more like a girl form of rugby.. with all the padding and stopping..
And so i can clear the thing up about the war, England didnt want to give up America, but they also didnt want france to get there little pathetic teeth into us so the king funded both America and England in the war because the king would rather give us freedom than see us go to the french.
Oh and honestly not all English people have bad teeth, not all Americans are fat, (im not 100 (7 stone) pounds) 5'6) Tea in England means dinner as well as tea the drink, oh yeah indian ginger tea is really good.. and i hate tea.. and crumpets are really good. If any American has gone to Mcdonalds and had a breakfast sandwhich they have had basically a crumpet.
And the last thing i have to say is that if more americans came here i know for a fact they would love it, and if more English came to America they would love it. There are good and bad points to both places and you cant really say one is better than the other. Were actually more alike than most think. And yep! thats all i have to say!
you are a gay boy because your american if it wasnt for england you would still be a hobo country and go fuck out of afganistan because we would be better with out your fat big mac filled bodies
A Brit here, I have to say I think there's a lot owed both ways - American culture seems to dictate British at the moment, not that that's a good thing imo (I'll take a britflick over any soulless Hollywood crap). But please don't think you weren't invaded, because unless you're a Native American, you're descended from one of the French, British, Spanish or AN Other European settlers. We're like cousins!
Also, where has this teeth stereotype come from? I know literally nobody with bad teeth over here, and please bear in mind that I live in a backwater in the southwest, where everyone's a farmer.
I personally would love to see America - I don't believe it's full of stupid, obese McDonald's-ites. I host American students during the summer and they have - largely - completely put those stereotypes to bed. In return, it would be nice for everyone else to drop their superiority complex and try to see past ill-informed stereotypes.
Also, while the USA may be the superpower of 2010, it's being rapidly caught up by China; neither even touches the Arabic empires and the wealth of culture and knowledge stemming from thousands of years BC. While most Europeans and Americans were busy in their mudhuts.
I think you'll find whilst you make these hilariously dumb , stupid and false accusations towards "england" you are also offending Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales. But i suppose you are so much of a dumb fuck that you probably don't have a clue where the fuck they are.
im glad im not american ... at least are government will not crash planes into landmarks an blame terroists .. then make up a fictious war so you can steal the worlds oil reserves ... but hey there all fuckin freemasons anyway ... and as for your remark about elton john ... at least he did not have plastic surgery on his cock to hide the fact that he freqently showed his cock to little boys ... unlike someone american called {mike the nonce jackson } ... and to finish up on we still get nearly 2 dollars to our pound .... fuck you very much ,,,,
Your not very good at geography thats for sure. Unless Your not including Scotland,Wales and northen Ireland?
dear god are u a moron. BRITAIN ( not england) was never invaded by the nazis in ww2. child porn is illegal in Britain.
FUCK YOU DICK HEAD. ENGLAND IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. WHAT AN IGORANT RETARD CUNT YOU ARE. I WANT TO SHOOT YOU.
ur country is run by a nigger, u are a bunch of fat obnoxious cunts, vietnam kicked ur fat asses and hopefully one day russia or china will kick ur annoying little asses
im gonna clear this up im from England, First ur president is a dumb nigg, viet nam kicked ur ass iraq kicked ur ass, ur a bunch of fat arrogant cunts. and american football is a shite game and soccer or football is its actual fucking game is a universal sport played allover the fucking world peace bitches
Okay, well I'm British and you obviously don't realise that the reason the USA has never been invaded successfully is because it has been a recognized country for a fraction of the time England has, or most other countries for that matter. Secondly, If you think we are idiots, you call what is essentially a weak mans version of rugby "Football". Now last time I checked, football suggested that feet were used to move the ball.
England was never invade by Germany, Even though we won the war we don't keep shoving it in their faces unlike you do with the vietnamee.
Child pornograpghy is illegal.
America must be pretty stupid if they let you reprisent their country by not deleting your blog. Because it is full of nonsence.
NHS- need i say more, helping the poorest of our country, we do not segregate.
We are more multi faith and a more diverse country than you will ever be.
Americans are doo stupid and lazy to create their own language, and if they did they are not united enough to have the whole country speak it.
We do not base our ideas on a country because of stereotypes, if we did we would see america as fat slobs who couldn't even name 5 different european countrys and point to them on a map.
William Shakespeare, JRR Tolkin, Sir Issac Newton. All English , all made the world a better place.
We don't go to war for no reason
( Cold war anybody)
we Aren't so up ourselves that we have to display flags everywhere, we likt to make people of other nationalities feel welcome.
everybosy is wellcome in our pubs, we do not exclude people.
we go to uni 2 years before you
I've nothing against America, but i'm glad i live in Europe. Saying that, i travel a lot, and i love being able to go somewhere exotic or rich in culture quickly and cheaply.
you sad sad pathetic boy, go outside, get a job, go on a diet and get a life, you fat ugly bastard!
oh yeah and whose land is that you call America (usa), not the Americans, no it's the native Indians land, so shut the fuck up you inbred cunt!
You fucking retard that's why we don't like you and why America is the most hated Country on Earth because you go and make a massive hate speech and are so arrogant saying your better than everyone.
Oh by the way you retard mainland England was never invaded or occupied by Germany the only land taken was the small useless channel islands which we found were of not important and recaptured later SO FUCK YOU.
Also you think your better at everything try watching a weight loss video say your best at that you fucktard your the fattest country on the planet.
The Boston tea party oh wow you threw loads of tea into your own harbour...well done, well thought out plan arsehole.
Oh and child porn is not legal in this country so fix your facts idiot
Oh and all you Americans out there FUCK YOU we don't care about a war that happened 200-300 years ago get over it thats the best thing you can ever come up with plus we BURNT YOUR WHITEHOUSE DOWN so HA google it its true.
oit. first of all we dont give two shits about victoria beckham. she lives in america so she's pretty much american for all we care. also, do you really still talk about the second world war as if it was last year?
another point, child pornography IS illegal in England and america was colonised by the British and thats pretty much ownership rather than invasion.
i'm not proud to be British because Nationalism is ugly but at least we have history and culture.
you fat fucking yankee bastards.
thanks
Stfu we saved your asses in WWII when your shit country called England was almost tooken over by the nazis than we began to fight then when we jumped in to saved your weak asses wow no wonder why your shit country is allied with America I don't know fucking why you hate us without us there would be no Britian you fucked up yellow teethed looking brit nationalism needs to stop I'm American a white Brit and an White American IQ has to be about the same. this nationalism and nationalism stereotypes are like we are the only dumb ones on earth you sound so fucking retarded with your stupid accents and half of you brits are so damn dumb that you cant even tell that you even have an accent and i believe we Amaericans are more intelligence than you smelly rainy smelling fucked up teeth brits all you guys ever do is complane about America thats all you even can do we beat you saved you and you treat us like we're the only dumb ones so fuck off you bloody rainy ugly fucked teethed british cunt faggots!
Ermmm...Is this supposed to be funny, or accurate? Because it really isn't either. Is this a high school English project?
hi, in response to this post and some of the comments below i'd like add my opinion and put some facts in to. first... the war of independence was not won by americans.
the war began in 1775 and by 1776 the french were supplying weponary and funding to the americans. in 1778 the french fully entered the war forming an alliance with america. the fighting continued with victories and losses on both sides. the fighting continued and eventually the british were defeted in 1883.
my point is, would this have been a different story if the french didnt get involved?
the second world war wasnt all america. russia played a major part in the war. by the time america entered the war, russia was holding its ground and beginning to take control of the situation there. also. after the battle of britain, hitler turned his attention to russia and defending his european land.
the nuclear bomb was build by a german (Robert Oppenheimer) with help by a number of british scientists using american money. so the end result was nuclear wepons "owned" by america.
there was also no need to use the nuclear wepon in japan as they were close to defeat by the amercan forces anyway. its thought the weapons were used to end the war quickly, and also to test the effect of the new weapon.
in all, america greatly contributed to the war, but they shouldnt claim that they won the war for everyone else. many countries put in huge efforts to win the war.
other things written in the post are completely irrelevant to arguing that america is better than britain. who cares if "posh" isnt a celeb in the usa.
there are a number of inventions that america has claimed they have invented when really, lots have been invented by the british or french. here are just a few examples:
>light bulb, A.G bell was born in scotland in 1847 before moving to the usa.
>jet propulsion
>submarime
>radio
>lightbulb (Joseph Swan presented the first working lightbulb in england 10 months before edison.
the list jsut goes on and on.
i dont have anything against the usa. ive visited a number of times on business and pleasure. i just thought i'd argue a little lol.
I am British, and I am embarrassed by the way my fellow Brits are conducting themselves on this blog, we are not all foul mouthed and ignorant as some of them comments may suggest.
This guy thinks that Germany invaded England during WW2. Not a single Nazi foot touched our soil! (With the exception of Rudolph Hess...)
The only time the Germans came close to invading was the Saxons. (Of course as an American he will have no Idea who they are or where they actually were...) But Saxons aren't Germans so I digress...
P.S. The Americans have been invaded by southern Confederate forces!! The south will rise again!!! (But Probably shouldn't...)
Also the Americans were pussies who wouldn't even fight from the start. Fuckers.
Finally they didn't help much in Europe, you were all to busy nuking innocent Japanese civilians.
The heroes of Europe were Brits, Commonwealth soldiers, a few Americans and huge numbers of soviets!
LONG LIVE THE USSR!!!
I have lived in England all of my life, in a small town called Loughborough (you may have heard of it, as it has a good university that is world renown for sport) I do enjoy living here and i have been to America (Florida) for two weeks. All i can say is that England is a very nice place to live. America is richer, has more land, bigger cities, more things to do, and the people are much friendlier. Yes they do have bad areas that are ruled by gangs with guns, but in bad parts of england it is the same and is dangerous. Both countries have good and bad parts. Britain is americanised, tv, movies, music, fashion, food, entertainment ect is all america. People can say that americas are stupid, fat and lazy but we also have the same people. We have chavs who stab people without thinking, you have gangs who shoot people with out caring, its all the same. to be honest, looking at both countries, i would of prefered to have been born, grew up and lived in america, well only if i was well off as poor people in america are a lot more worse off that poorer people are here in britain, also there is no nhs. the poor people here get everything they need and therefore take everything for granted. i feel that no one here loves their country, no one loves the united kingdom. if there was a war that threatened the country i think that people would not sign up to fight for their own soil. in america there is so much patrioism and they love their country. I admire this, and feel that we lack this and i am quite ashamed that our country, one of the , most developed and arguably one of the most desired for people to come and live does not have this. I am proud to be englsih, british, from the UK. i feel that we have one of the best armies in the whole, maybe not the most powerful unlike the US, as if we did go to war we would undoubtably have our small little island surrounded in about 36 hours by the US miltary and would have to surrender. But people must not forget that america came from britain, their way of life came from us. Law and order, education, language, police, army was all founded from our ways. America just had more land and more people and more resources to prosper and then came the leading enconomy globally. If i lived in the US i would be big headed and feel that i lived in the best country in the world, as i think it is. They lack history but this is a modern world with modern problems. plus, their weather is a lot better lol. i would like to move and live in america when i am a bit older. There houses are a lot bigger and a lot cheaper than ours. i would miss england though. I think that americans and british people should just stop arguing as we have a lot of problems grobally and we should remain strong allies as the world is a fucked up place and its getting worse. just my thoughts on this idea that american is better than britain, because it is. british people are just too arogant to except it.
This is the type of British the Americans spy on.
If you find it so damn annoying there are no British patriots in your area BE ONE. London by far is the most patriotic place. We had air writing and everything for the England team after they came back.
oh my god you dumb english people!!! we beat u twice when u tryed to invade OUR country!!! weve won so many wars and were the best country. it doesnt matter what u idotic english ppl say because at the end of the day we have the best currency we have the best stock market and things were more famous then u were smarter and all americans arent fat u see so many suprmodels but theyr reall gd looking and better than u enlgish who have ugly teeth which is why dentists r free 2 u. omg just let it go were or own country and were so much better
gods sakes ur so dumb. we have micheal jackson, the beatles , elvis, obama and all the good people. like what has england even done for the world excpet be invaded like 50 times by the romans and the normans and even the africans i think. africa is such a crap country and were better cause we invaded it which is why american is the national languge of ameirca
SO SUCK IT UP U EGLISH
sry bad spelling i have dyslexia
So one guy pisses you off and you decide to insult an entire nation?
Fuck you,
Sincerely,
The British.
hahaha that guy that that said omg u dumb english people !!! lol look at the very last line :L sorry bout the spelling i have dyslexia :L funny shit
sory to bov u again in the one bout the dislexia guy again he said that america have this is a quote btw "gods sakes ur so dumb. we have micheal jackson, the beatles , elvis, obama and all the good people"
I think the beatles were from the U.K hahah lol
Sorry, when did Hitler occupy London? Do some research, that never happened! The Germans bombed London for a month, we put up with it, and thanks to the magnificent effort of the RAF, we didn't get completely obliterated.
You're an ass. Who was around first, the british or the yankies? Us, not fucking you, you moron! So technically, TECHNICALLY, we're on the right side of the road, you're on the wrong side!
PLEASE, PLEASE, don't confuse the film "King Ralph" as a documentorial biography of the royal family.
If ur so great how come u can't win a war against tiny countries like Cuba or north Korea? And has the USA ever won a war on it's own? The war of independence was fought between the loyalists and the Americans and you needed Frances help to beat them! Before u start going off saying America is the most powerful country in the world ur wrong it's shit behind the Eu! And where would the USA be without Britain? U wouldn't have stayed in Iraq for a week! Plus ur country follows corrupt policies WTF your country teaches you incorrect history or ur just all dump enough to believe Palestine should be pushed out of it's own country for freedom! Just stating the facts u sin-of-a-bitch from
A free Britain!
The USA Is shit you care about only you're selves u don't even help your own people you refuse free health because it would bring equality ur all shit if u think the just most powerful country in the world because u dump shit the Eu is first followed by china India and loads more countries u shit bag who didn't complete primary school or was a very bad student shown because his history is so bad also please think about the wars that the USA has won on it's own... Oh wait there are none you shit head!!!
here is a quote from the United States Deceleration of Independence.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal"
30 years ago, black people couldn't get on a bus.
Gay People cant get married in some states.
You think this is equality, you fucking retard yanks contradict you declaration of independence. How the fuck can you be the best country in the world if you deny people equality.
america just admit it. britain is a whole lot better than u guys.i mean seriously what was that guy thinking when he wrote this. did anyone ever tell you that if u study in britain then you can get a job anywhere. you americans were the ones who started the fight and why r u saying that we started it. seriously america fuck off. whoever says bad thing about u.k. go lick your ass.
BRITAIN RULES AND USA SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
we r great cause we have great at the front of britain.
EAST OR WEST
BRITAIN IS ALWAYS GONNA BE THE BEST.
Look here, number four isn't correct, England was never conquered and never occupied by another country, we conquered you and for a very long time at that. At one point we owned one third of the world, and for a long time England was the most powerful country. Many people desired England; the Germans, French, Spanish, Italien and Turkish but never did they ever get through the channel. Lets see, number five, Child Pornography is illegal in England too, what makes you think that it would not be? Point number six is irrelivant, it was most likely an America film; even if it is english, it isn't fact, merely a work of fiction. There has never been a King Ralph. What you have to remember is you have two decades of history under your belt we have 2000 years of history. Without us all Americans would be speaking Spanish, so I would shut up and get your facts right next time you decide to badmouth the nation that created the America you have today.
your country is run by a nigger are country is run by a man who's family money come from cotton and suger
The whole of America's Mother Country, the United Kingdom - with England in particular - is much better, and wiser than sissy America. Death to America, and to all it stands for. Let its cities burn.
Hi you American dick head. First off, take your your triple fat cunt burger out of your mouth and stop pouring your supersized milkshake all over yourself because your too dumb to use the straw!
You're obviously a loser who sits at home with nothing better to do than put shit on the net and you're probably too fat to even get out of your chair.
GET A GRIP!
Who cares if America is better than England or vice versa? Get on the old slim fast plan get out of your house and enjoy life! Have you even got a passport? No, you probably have not even been out of your town!!!
There are much nicer places in this world than England or America; try Iraq they love you guys there.
Basically, just shut up and stop annoying the rest of society with your silly rants.
P.S. Don't bother replying to me. I won't read it because it will just contain more of the vile garbage you have been spewing.
....wow
This whole article is a real disgrace - and, sadly, so are a good portion of the comments. The information in the article is highly biased and also incorrect on a number of points (we actually are not bothered by the fact the USA is separate, for they are as much their own country as we are, with their own distinctive behavioural patterns within society). Also, child pornography is very much illegal here.
The writer's viewpoint is very small-minded and targets some kind of personal vendetta against the British Isles, which is expressed in the form of a nonsense spiel that does plenty to make the author seem ridiculous and overblown and a British reader feel absolutely disgraced at the way our 'Special Relationship' has been twisted into some vulgar sort of tirade.
I am British, with Spanish and French heritage and relatives in the USA. I have seen a number of comments and such mentioning to others that they should 'grow up', etcetera.
I am sixteen years old and, strangely, it seems that the older people on this thread are the ones that really could do with 'growing up' and taking a second look at the world around them, in order to reiterate what it is they truly wanted to express by posting here.
I also find the descriptions of English folk as, "tea drinking motherfuckers," quite amusing when I consider the growing coffee-culture here. Also, redcoats? So last year.
Right! i was reading about 10 nasty comments and i had to stop there. this article is a load of bull. i mean come on guys!! i'm english but i have american blood related family. i still dont understand why we have to be in competition all the time!! they sterotyping about england and america are appulaing!. i mean get a grip! i do agree that being fat is what people think of america generaly. but i can say that i didnt see that many 'fat' people when i've been there. and as for the WW2 thing. i laughed. i just thought oh god get your facts right! ever heard of the london blitz.... thought not. and on another thought, as for who is the best nation ect. thats only a matter of oppinion. ofcause british people will say britian and vis versa. but come on! the people who are commenting i can guess would be around 30 ish. so i'm assuming by the age of 30ish you shouldnt hold this much predjuice against another country. i feel kinda sad for you guys that you have nothing better to do then to be keyboard warriers and have pointless arguments that will never come to a conclusion. its really sad.
oh and P.S the person that called Wales Whales cracked me up!!!
the onley 1 thing i like from yank town redneck vill and fat fuker land is that comedy friends wif ross and them lot

How racist can you get? I knew americans made their history exxagerated because their only things that happened in the US is independence day, a civil war and 9/11. They made it look as if the founders of america were evil- america wouldnt exist if it wasnt for the UK! You think you are the best country in the world- yet with so many people poor in the US- you clearly aren't. I afree the UK isnt the best of countries but half the things above are a load of rubbish. America is trying to cover up the hatred they have given the world and are now terrified when muslims are giving it all back in their faces.
'America has never been invaded by another country. Ever.'
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. YOU'RE ALL SO UNEDUCATED! America HAS been invaded, by the first white settlers who killed the Natives. ROFLMAO you don't even know your own history.
Can one American give ONE valid point to why America is better? I can give reasons why England is. I'll admit some of them are iffy, but there are valid points.
1. Our unemployment rate is lower than yours.
2. More people in the US committ suicide than people in the UK.
3. More than 57% of American adults are obese, whereas in the UK, it is a much lower percentage.
4. We have a history, you're only a teenage country with a big dick, and on the end of that dick is your beloved President.
5. You've never burned down the Houses of Parliament.
6. Our oceans don't boil when its summer.
7. There's no such thing as the American Empire.
8. You don't have a territory in Antarctica.
9. None of you are funny.
10. The only reason American music artists are popular is because they're either rappers or they're sluts.
We also didn't make a global fuss about Muslims when 7/7 happened, unlike you Americans who want to burn a quran on September 11th.
Plus, we don't have nasally accents unless we have colds. Up yours.
1. That's because we don't qualify "arrogant snob" as a proper profession.
2. Of course. You don't have guns and are too stupid to find other ways to off yourself.
3. Sorry that our food is awesome.
4. I like how our "history" is subjective to you. First, it's the history of our continent, and now the history of our nation.
5. Couldn't care less, bro.
6. And your beaches don't have bitches, either.
7. Right, just the American colonies that made the big bad British Empire fuck off to their island. lololol
8. Who the fuck wants anything to do with Antarctica?
9. And Benny Hill is the greatest comedic mind of all time.
10. Which then go on tour in your country and have sold out shows. You love our rappers and sluts, don't lie.
Yeeeaaah you''re right.
The are the newest people, the are the losers who couldn''t make it here in Europe and cross the ocean.
The are the same as the muslims with their new religion and these fuckups even saying that they have the oldest.
All a bunch of f..... lies.
all i can say is... im from scotland and the uk is a shite hole
(ALL OF IT)
shite weather, CHAVS, parliament, kill some cunt get out in 10 years for being good... wtf?
lets get it straight
Scottish=sheep shaggers
english=pompus with bad teeth (cheryl cole exempt =p)
welsh=who even cares
ireland=rim the pope
america=all i can say is hills have eyes, wrong turn etc...
Anyone who doesn't realise this is in no way serious needs to vist the doctor
how fucking childish! hahaha, What a waste of time, you sound like your 10 years old
Your a moron america just starts wars they cant handle then britain comes to help. What language do you speak English made in Britain What country are you in America (Founded by brits) Who has a more well known capital Britain and btw your capital isnt new york its Washington DC.
When people think about the british they think Tea & Crumpets/Bad Teeth/London/Football Hooligans/ Old Time Sayings.
I have nothing against america in fact I love america but I am a brit so...
1. Uk is more acceptant of other races. You had, and still do have the KKK, we would NEVER consider burning the Q'uran. And this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWCPAXgrm2U
'troubled black youths, i dont like them.'
'I think alll iraqis should be executed.'
Why?
'I dont like them'.
Oh, and how about hurricane katrina, leaving thousands homeless...
And you're so dumb 18% of you think barack obama is a muslim, just because he supported the building of a mosque at ground zero. And you dont support the building of this mosque because an extremely small minority of extremist radical muslims destroyed your fuck ugly towers, because they FUKING HATED YOU!
Yup, you're real tolerant of other races there then...
2. Uk Grime > Us hip-hop. Accept it, hip-hop is dead, whilst Grime is on the rise...
3. London is now the most wealthy city in the world, even american newspapers have described it the 'World capital of the 21st century.' It is also more ethnically diverse, lookn at the 2012 olympic bids, new york had to retract their claim at being so multiethnic when london showed that they had more than 100 more languages spoken there....
4. You have the fkn death penalty and leave criminals to rot whilst awaiting you cruel, inhumane bastards!!!!
5. You fkn torture people in Guantanamo bay.
Its a shame really because I like alot about America, alot of really nice cities, and some beautiful places, but sometimes you sure are fkn annoying.
As for driving on the right side of the road, well it is a well practiced FACT that driving on the left is far safer. This is because most people (being right handed) instinctively pull the steering wheel to the left when something darts in front of them. If you are drving on the right, this means you just pulled into on coming traffic. If driving on the left, it means you probably hit the kerb.
lol the bullshit i've just read on here.The usa is a nation of fat illiterate educationally challenged SCUM.You never ''kicked our asses'' go look up the treaty of paris 1783.Without us BRITISH the usa would be getting bitchslapped by every other nation on this planet.great britain is the usa's older much tougher brother.WE along with russia won 2 world wars,we kicked arse alone in the falkands while you fuckers couldnt beat a bunch of badly trained poorly equipped gooks in the vietnamese jungle.Should have begged britain to sort out vietnam for ya like we are doin now in iraq and afghanistan, while the us soldiers are either raping 12 year old girls in iraq,shootin hoops n smokin crack or blowin their own personnel up.Its to be expected from a country that allows paedophiles,rapists n various other scum to serve in its armed forces.and before you start with the inevitable ''we dont allow paedophiles etc in the us army''..go look up the words ''us army moral waiver''. motto of the us army seems to be '' hey r u a paedophile who likes to rape children? join the us army we'll give u an assault rifle.'',,ya wont find scum like that servin in the british army :)
And I think Americans speak Latin American, for the record.
So yeah, I'm English, I'd much rather live in the USA, not coz its a better place, mainly because i love the architecture and the fresh take on life.
But neither of the countries are better than the other. We are honestly, both self riteous wrecks of establishments and are no better than say, Iraq. I dont agree with the war in afghanistan, but i support both British and American troops fighting for their nation and are extremely brave men and women. I just hope all the lives are spared that is humanly possible.
We have good teeth.
Oh, and it isnt America that is the 'Most obese nation on earth', it is, in fact, Scotland, so to my fellow Brits, GET IT RIGHT! And to you americans, my teeth are very shiny and white.
Thank you, and good night, for it is now tea time
I am British and lived in the USA when I was 14/15. Some quotes from people in my class:
*"You speak French in England, right?"
*"You can't be English, you have nice teeth."
*"Say something in English... (I say "hello")... No, that's American duh! Say something in your language!"
*"When are you leaving for New England? (I say I have no idea) But you said you were going home to see your grandma? (I inform her that my home is England/UK/Britain/etc. but that New England is in fact in the USA)"
*"Do you have electricity in England?"
*"Are you friends with Harry Potter?"
*"Are you related to the Queen?"
*(This was my Geography teacher talking!) "The UK is alone, it isn't part of a continent. (I say "Europe?") It's not connected to the mainland. It's not part of Europe. ("But it's in the European Union?") Yeah, I don't know why that is..."
We were also taught to add and subtract in 8th Grade Math. No joking, a homework paper had the questions: 8-5= ? and -3+10= ?
I love America (probably more than England), but I though you clever folks should be enlightened about the education system.
PS. British people making fun of mainstream Christianity in the US should remember that we are in fact a Christian country. The US separate church and state.
The USA still has the death penalty, how messed up is that?!
xDDDDDDDDD They Lost To Us In War Huever Made This Page Is A Fat Git. The Britts Can Swear, Win And OVBIOUSLY TAKE OVER A COUNTRY THE RIGHT WAY. There Not Fat At All. Germany WE WON BOTH WARS YOU FAGGOT OTHERWISE WE'D BE SPEAKIN GERMAN F-----
WOW you are so fucking DUMB you arrogant redneck arse licker.
Germans didn't make it in to England, just over in their PLANES to ATTEMPT to win the war... at least 1in 3 if us aren't obese shits like your dumb country and who cares what side of the road anyone drives on? Both sides are correct depending on where you live, so next time you or any of your fat shit rednecks call England a backward society, just remind yourself that you are talking about the most sucessfull empire in the world, next to the romans america, Australia, India and Canada, yep, all ours till we gave you a chance. After that what did you do? Elect George bush as your fucking leader???? WHY, one would have thought that some of you yanks had some modicum of intelligence... Jeez dude, go wallow in your insecurity and mabye eat a few burgers too. Idiot.
Personally I love the yanks, in every society you get the pro patriotic muppets, but you know what? we have them in this country as well, yeah we had two big rucks, the first one during the war of Independence which fair play we were being absolute cocks, and the second was the Anglo American war of 1812 which was stirred up by the Royal Navy press ganging able bodied Merchant sea Men, and from the American side where the Canadian British were arming the Native Americans to defend themselves, but apart from that ever since we have been like brothers helping each other when the shit hit the fan, the First World War, the Second World War, The Korean War including the Cold War, we train together, we bleed together and we died together, the First Gulf War, the Kosovan Conflict through NATO, after 9/11 Britain was the only Nation which had your back in the Afghan War and lastly with Iraq we were also the only Nation which supported the US during the Second Gulf War, even though the evidence to suggest that Saddam Hussein had WMD was piss poor we still had your back. All this bad blood bollocks man, fucking joke
A comparison between the two nations is truly difficult. Many of the characteristics people on this thread have mentioned of each countries inhabitants is unquantifiable. How many Americans are obese? How many Britons have bad oral hygiene? Although statistics have been gathered; each survey is based upon a very small sample of individuals, which do not accurately reflect each nation as a whole. Consequently, the difference in the amount of inhabitants per nation is very lopsided and provides further complications in generating an accurate survey. On the other hand, if we try to prove one nation's superiority over the other through a historical standpoint, we come to another standstill. Both nations have committed numerous atrocities and have performed crimes against society. Britain's colonization of India and other countries, America's use of nuclear armament, the Irish potato famine, the slave trade, the Crusades, etc. How can one country win in this regard? Whichever nation has killed the least amount of people? We must look at which nation has provided the most social reform and benefit to society as a whole. However, even that not possible because America's history and Britain's have been so intertwined over the years that each social change from one country has been influenced by the other. Therefore, I'll simply list my favorite contributions from each country to show that both nations are sitting side by side at the front of the world stage:
America - 1967 Shelby GT 500. Jimi Hendrix. Vegas.
Britain - Fish and chips. The Beatles. Monty Python.
MAJORITY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOST OF THE WORLD CALLS THE SPORT 'FOOTBALL' WHICH YANKS CALL SOCCER. YOU PLAY THE FUCKING SPORT WITH YOUR FOOT, THEREFORE FOOTBALL YOU IGNORANT YANKS. SINCE WHEN DID THE NAZIS OCCUPY LONDON???????????? YES THEY BOMBED IT, THE SAME WAY JAPAN BOMBED PEARL HARBOUR. AMERICA IS OFFICIALLY THE DUMBEST COUNTRY.....................ELECTING A WANKER LIFE G.W BUSH!!!!!!!!!
PROPER football dosent involve the steelers who ever they are, and no american sports fans can compare to english football fans.
It saddens me the anyone can be this bloody stupid. I wish this guy would read a book for once or, you know actually learn something about the world. First of all Britain was never taken over by the Germans. Winston Churchill frowned upon the bombing of civilians for moral reasons. German broke this unwritten agreement by bombing London. So Britain returned the favour. Bombing some major port (I can't remember) multiple times, later they bombed Berlin in day/night raids. America being the super hero of the war went for bombing during the day, they did there job but at ridiculous losses, insanity losses but being America they needed to be a hero. The American Revolution is something I find deeply troubling. The Americans have some weird view on it almost as if they won by sheer awesomeness alone. What really happened is America got destroyed in. Every. Single. Line battle they fought in. So being the cowards that they are, they cheated. How? by hiding behind shit and braking ever code of war they could get there greasy hands on. Some of you will be raging right now thinks "How can you cheat in a war!? you fucking moron!" This might come to a shock to you but there is a proper way to fight a war. Times have changed but back then you were supposed to line up and fire at each other, to show your bravery and represent your country. You were not supposed to try to dodge cannon fonder or other suck things. You were also not aloud to intentional fire at generals or officers, otherwise the men would have no order and it would be chaos. America missed this memo and disrespected there country by fighting like sniffling cowards. England was to proud to fight like such "heithans" and tried to fight America the correct way. The American won with the help of the french, slowing down Britain amazing navy but not doing much else. While ground troops chased around militia trying to get them to fight like men. On the World war scene America is not the hero they are represented in Hollywood. America sat back and chilazed while watching European countries get taken over by Germany, England was mostly left alone to fight off Germany, Austria and eventually Italy. France fell rather quickly to the Germans so Britain was left alone and to quote Winston Churchill (might mess this up) "We will never stop fighting" so Britain did almost to the self destruction, although the Axis weren't to chipper them self. Both sides had fought for so long and so hard they were at there bare bones. Then of course America's like "we got bombed, Mad face let's get 'em boys" So again trying to be hero's they come in and save the day. They really did, but they had little reason to sit and watch for so long. So to sum it up America is mad from the unwanted people of every other country (yes, really) and you have no military honour and would rather cock slap small countries like Vietnam and Iraq and Nuke and kill innocent people then actually fight a real war, a war you might loose. Same with world war one. The English lost there empire because they spent so much dam money keeping the Germans from world domination while you swoop in towards the end. Fucking join in sooner! Late note: Real American of you to walk up to a random person and pick on hims because his from another country. If only Britain kept you on your leash we wouldn't have this headless retard election GW bush and fucking shit around. America needs to learn what they really are!
Ps: I know Britain has done horrible shit. I don't need the edumacation
So Britain didn't know how to fight a real war and you are too stupid to admit that standing in front of a cannon without dodging. You lost. Admit it. America wouldn't brag about it so much if it didn't ruffle your knickers so much.
What the fuck is this page talking about. No fucking wonder America is the most hated country because they think their what ever is fucking better than anyone else's. Education wise England, France, and most of europe have better schools. Congrads for having the world shortest emipre whom never won a war without ENGLAND on your fucking side
America would be no where if it weren't for Britain. Andyou were talking about how your people "Americans fought for your independance but if Im not mistaken they were still British just living in America. Also American football is crap its a light weight version of rugby, because you ware shoulder pads to protect yourselves . Wusses. And I'd check up on your history because Germany never bloody even made it to our shaws. Oh and worst of all, what language do you speak? Oh thats right you speak ENGLISH so if your going to say what a "crap countr we are then make up your own bloody language!!!!
ohhh what language do you speek again English ? :)
Who ever said that Americia dont sit there and watch what happepens to other counterys and they go in and try to help PAHAHAHAHA bullshit, WW2!! you stood by for 3 bloody years! yeah we may have been invadid if amaricia dident come and help but that dont mean they won it, WE won it WE meaning all the countrys who frought against the natzis and its allyes, you have the strongest army yeah SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT!!
and btw
i dont have anything against americia, there are cocks there as there are cocks in Brition but most americans on here ARE COCKS! LALLA
First of all I am 13 so do not fault me for grammer or spelling.
1. America came from Britan/England so any crap we have came from Britan
2.Not all americans are fat pricks. I may not have a super brain but i am not fat. I weigh 98 pounds for 5,3 that is not fat.
3.All you brits who like tea I am by your side on that 1(;
i like england but american football is a lot of rubbish. Hey, America, do you call your football football? That is crap. You don't run with the ball, you f****** kick it! And stop calling football soccer.
the fucking americans eat hamburgers, it's unhealthy because the meat has fat in it. plus, american kids (american kids are f******) are spoiled little brats and stupid kids.
stop saying America is a dumb country. Europe is a dumb country so there
Haha :) Respect for that comment :) And also, alot of people here seem to perceive the death penalty as acceptable. How can you hold yourself morally superior when you see killing another person as justice? If you are Christian (which I am not) then you should always show forgiveness surely? And seeing as alot of Americans are Chrisitian, surely you are contradicting your Holy book? And for atheists, surely the eye for an eye principal is a somewhat primitive idea, showing lack of any moral justice and lack of humanity?
I HATE WHEN PEOPLE GENERALICE, ONE THING IS AMERICA AND THE OTHER: USA// IS LIKE SAYING OH EUROPE THIS AND EUROPE THAT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY ENGLAND, i think mexico is better than usa and england haha i'm kidding it's worst; but seriously folks most of usa are kind of dushbags like the one who wrote this stupid thing and start it all... he really needs some history classes... :)
do britains hate mexicans too?? haha i mean this is OUT OF CONTROL
This is laughable. This argument should not even exist. Both Countries have good and bad qualitiles. As for the comment about WW2 Hitler never invaded London sure the German Airforce attacked the Great city of London, but were beaten in the Battle of Britain.
As for the comment about how we are America's little sister. That is stupid, how can you even make that assumption, sure you are more powerful and have a greater influence on the world at this moment. However Britain had an Empire, Europe was the crucible of human existance for many years and the pioneer of science and art too. To say that America is superior is just plain ignorant when Britian had: the first train, computer, car, antibiotics, telephone (although made in Canada, he was educated in Britian and was Scottish). Sure you have claim to the nuclear bomb, but if you can read, which I'm sure some of you can't ; you will find it was a joint project which started during WW2, and the nuclear bomb would not even be possible if it were not for European Scientists (British or not ) like Maxwell, Mendeelv, Einstien (who was German ).
So in conclusion America which has been around for 200-300 years, perhaps may have influence now and power, but Britian has been around for thousands, and British and European Engineering is what has allowed America to become what is it today. If I recall you teach English in your schools (the British Language) and base your Decomcrat system on the Hosue of Commons and House of Lords System here.
So after the concluding and factual arguments presented it is safe to assume that America is actually the the little sister if you will, I hear though news that you have more children faling school than ever before while Britian has more University graduates than ever. What does that tell you. Ignorance is bliss isn't it? Or tell me this China, now has more power and more wealth than America, I shall bet that the Average American does not know that their government borrowed $3 000 000 000 from China during the recession. Really ignorance is bliss isn't it?
Ok firstly germany never set food within london thats ridiculas, brush up on your history lessons "dude". Also you didnt fight in vietnam on your own i happen to recall america asking the australian version of the SAS to go in to vietnam and fuck them up which they did better than the americans anyway and you didnt actually win the vietnam war i mean there still there!! what did you win? nothing. Also you don't drive on the right side of the road you drive on the wrong side this is prooven by the fact that back in the days of horse and carridge most people are right handed so you rode on the left just in case some lil fucker coming towards you had his blade waving around, you dumb shits decided to ride on the right so majority wins? well that kinda prooves that the "majority" are rather stupid
1) Yes, Victoria Beckham isn't a celebrity over in the ol' shitty U.S of A, but we're sick of listening to your celebrity shit like Lindsay Lohan (Oh look she's been arrested again!!) we are bored of you.
2) The fact that you base your answers on a majority use is ridiculous, look for a reason you Americunt, I mean these things are based on fact, for example, more than 1 in 100 American's are in prison, that's around 3,000,000+, ridiculous.
3) We created football, fuck off, it's not soccer, you follow by our rules. And also congratulations, you've just admitted that the US people are nothing but drunk wankers, who, evidently, show no intelligence.
4) Ironic that, yet again, America turn up late, and claim all the credit, just like most of your stupid criminals. You say Churchill was overrated, GEORGE BUSH, BILL CLINTON, RICHARD NIXON, are you fucking kidding me?!
I also refer back to your comment about your 110,000 screaming fans, drinking more than the whole of Europe ... You really failed there didn't you.
5) Child pornography is illegal in the US? ... Bit obvious that is isn't it, but like I said earlier, more than 1 in 100 people are stupid enough to get caught by the fat pigs you call "cops", LOL is all I can say, your crime rates are ridiculous, and so are your "Hillbillies".
6) You talk about shit movies, you're the country that produced Nicolas Cage, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Overall, personally I think that American's are THE most annoying bunch of wankers in the whole world, you produce poor Presidents, you produce poor film stars, poor music, why you continue you to debate this already decided subject, is questionable. American's are notorious for being fat, lazy sad-acts, who get angry after McDonald's do not serve you within three minutes.
im english an im the the reason yanks think what they do bout us english.. ive got bad teeth im a rude ignorant alcoholic im perveted when im not drunk i drink tea i love a cucumber sandwich oh yea an im gay lol im so fucked up lol ah well rule britannia
I'm British and I'm dating an American. I'm also a proud christian and I'm appalled at some of the language here.
First of all, not all Americans are fat (else I wouldn't be dating one) and not all English people drink tea (I don't).
America used to be a great christian nation but recently it has let itself down because of these left wing liberals getting into power and taking God out of everything.
Britain also used to be a great country but because of liberals (who preach 'tolerance' and 'diversity') we are now being swamped with immigrants and Islamic culture is on the rise.
America is a good country, home to ken Ham and the best museum in the world, the Creation museum in Kentucky (its awesome!). Also you have Sarah Palin and she is awesome so you guys are really lucky to have her.
Britain is also a good country but I don't agree with the likes of Richard Dawkins and his arrogant atheist campaign. I don't like Charles Darwin and his half-assed theory and I don't think he should even be on the back of the £10 note.
Unfortunately our government has been overrun by socialists and I'm afraid the same is happening to America.
One day I hope to see an age where Britain and America are both christian countries, abortion and gay marriage are BANNED, and where citizens are allowed guns so they can defend themselves :)
I think by now you've noticed I'm not your sterotypical Brit. I'm from the West Midlands. Our country needs changing. our world needs changing.
God bless America and Britain!
You know, I hope your kind die.
'arrogant atheist' Fuck off, half-assed, once again fuck off, guns to defend themselves from what? almost all your points are backwards and stupid... Christian.
I am far too tired too come up with more of an argument but you are
WRONG.
I would like to take this opportunity as a Brit to say sorry to the world for America. America is like the ginger step child that not even its mother would love.
For you dumb yanks out there that are too busy fucking you sister in you trailer. Britain is your mother nation and not even we like you. Seriously you fucking inbred cunts, the only good place in America is the Canadian border, just because you can get out of the fucking country.
Your army is shit. You went in to save a British hostage, by this point i bet you want us to thank you for that. No, the people who you trust to defend your country through a grenade into where the hostage was been kept. How the fuck are you lot still alive.
hey bitchs yes i am british motherfuckas"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I feel I should let you know that England did invade the US, who do you think burnt DC to the ground?

America actually tried, the European allies just sit back and QQ, American goes to stop terrorism, while Europe makes shitty cartoon that only serve to offend its own nation of Muslim. Yes you all are so smart, Since THe US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, when was the last major sucessful terrorist attacl. there hasn't been a 9/11 or madrid bombings since
You fat yanks stop dissing Britannia you motherfuckers. And why you hatin' on Richard Dawkins? At least he's got a life. Come to think of it, USA is religious but your country full of hoes and a pit of carnality. You sons of bitches keep meddling in the affairs of other nations under the guise of helping them but truth is you have interests so that you can keep your lazy ass lifestyle goddamn pricks.
America and Britain are both great but both have huge problems.... Americans are overweight, stupid and have archaic political views while Britain is a small, rainy island filled with people who can't get along with anyone, especially themselves. Australia and New Zealand. That's where it's at motherfuckers. Hahaha.
what the hell? germany never even touched english soil you retard. and winston churchill smoked, he wasnt an alcoholic. get your fucking facts right.
I'll Stop, speaking Engish then. I'll stick to speaking American English :) And ayyy Not my, fault That long ago Brits came to America they became Americans and they decided to make their own way of speaking "English" O_o Not that i dislike England "Mate" just that it really does sux ._. American and British English there's a difference. it's only a fact that an "EnglishMan" can't accept that America rocks and England sucks. Lol i'm just joking about the last part and I don't mean to offend you.. But Peace To ALL NATIONS Greetings from Tampa Florida. :)
England is racist, especially Liverpool... Black male or female walking peacefully then what happens you end up dead. you brits supported slavery. racist assholes. Oh yes, England has Adsa or Asda w/e that store is called and GUESS WHAT?? it's owned by Wal-Mart America is cheaper. England sux ._.!!! I rest my case.
America charges you money because our heathcare is awesome? free healthcare how cheap can you guys get? Please proplly few hours after. you'll be coming back to the doctors in pain.
Half the american population are people that are on diets. yet you have a mcDonlds too? where'd you get this lame stereotype? from sipping your tea and not brushing your teeth Eh. Engaylishman?
YOU kicked england out hahaha you are F ing english maybe a bit of french, spanish, dutch and indian also but bottom line is your english and the revolutionary war was basically a civil war because we ruled and the ppl didnt like the taxes and rules and wanted there rights as ENGLISHMEN. Also if you actually learned about it you would also know that you didnt win alone the Dutch helped you the Spanish helped you and the French helped you. We had the Germans help us and the Cherokee (who wasn't slaves but were free people) and if you actualy cared to check we were having wars with france here and there shortly after the battle of hastings 1066AD before america even had white people there the longest war we had with france lasted for a Hundred years. Also you can find al this out on Wiki and you will also find out that your first president the 1 who led your side in the revolutionary war was infact English his Great great gran father was born in Essex, England that makes his family Immigrants. Ill tell you why were a better country we were once cavemen then we became celts then Romans then Saxons, Anglo saxons(german) then Norman(french) and that is what we are thats what makes us English You are all of these plus tons of others your blood is soooo waterd down also we havnt been invaded since 1066AD america got invaded inworld war 2 by the japanese and im not talking pearl shitty harbour which wasnt even american soil im talking about the Aleutian Islands. and dont get me started on that argument you Nuked them coz they wouldnt give up WTF they only attacked you to make you join the war because Britain and other European countries were asking for your Help but you never did i thank the japanese. Also you americans THINK your the strongest country in the world WRONG the answer is Russia is the strongest and 1 day they will attack you and you will lose and we will never help coz your arseholes and look at your president now talking about building a Muslim mosque on ground zero (world trade centers) is that a joke or what muslims killed them people. And you attacked Iraq not because you can but because you wanted there Oil you dumbarse. im sorry to say it Russia is the strongest and your people will crumble when they finaly decide to destroy you. P.s American football is not football it is infact rugby with body armour and a few rules changed.
Also because im not an arsehole like you id like to say sorry for posting that message twice my mistake.
like i just said dumb arse we havnt been invaded since 1066 Germany never invade England ever they just Bombed the shit out of us relentlessly but we didnt cry about it a go and nuke a city full of innocents you had a few military boats and planes destroyed and you do and drop a Nuke on Hirroshima oh and then what happens Japan still don't back down because they are Honourable so you go a drop anouther Nuke on them which finally leads to them backing down and there Emporer performs seppuku (suicide ritual) to avoid shame and die in honour you would have lost to that little tiny island called japan and you know it.
you didnt fight the vietnam war on your own Australia helped so maybe you should do some reseach dumb arse
for the person who said that american police cars are better you use petrol guzzlers such as camaros we use subaru imprezas and missibishi Evos i know what i would rather have.
"American and British English there's a difference. it's only a fact that an "EnglishMan" can't accept that America rocks and England sucks." Yeah you spell things wrong such as color its spelt colour (and dont forget our language is made up of about 10 different languages before you say that is spelt in a stupid way) I hate american films, T.V and other things that make idiots in our country say such words as "dude" and "douch" i would much rather say MATE or CUNT. And you say Enlishman like your not one if you were botherd to check you would discover that the Revoloutionary war was american miltia fighting for there rights as Englishmen. All your ancestors that were in that war fought for your rights as Englishmen so that defeats the the things you say about us. To all you americans saying about Proper English and grammer this is the fucking internet not a fucking Essay for a ENGLISH lesson who gives a shit about spelling. And the way half of you talk is comedy to me with such things as "Yall" i think you mean to say You all and back to Douche WTF its some sort of syringe or enema or something what sort of insult is that Mothers Cunt is so much better because not only are you insulting the person you are also insulting the mother. TWO MORE THINGS "Mom" is wrong it is spelt Mum and please learn how to say AUNT properly it is not pronunced ANT.
foy your information we also drink coffee most houses in Britain(england) have 3 pots next to thier kettle 1 for sugar, 1 for tea bags and the 3rd is for coffee and im pretty sure most tea is imported from other countries even japanese drink tea and they have excisted about 15,000 years longer than you. And if you think that is wrong go read a science book because the first pots were made in japan 14,000BCE. Also the majority of your country are religious most likely Christian or catholic and you can thank the Europeans for that because when we founded the New World we brung tales of the cross with us if it wasn't for spain, france and England you would all be mormons believing that jesus or whoever it was visited some idiot in some forest in america and gave him the commandments. I hate you all i hate mormons and i hate jehovis witnessesw also a american religion. And whoever wrote that england helped the south during the civil war you are right we did supply them with guns, ammo and ships but for you information we also helped the north in the same way whoever could pay got the goods and at that time we was against slavery so we would not have formed an alliance with the south. Bottom line is you are all morons who believe what they are tolded instead of reading books with facts in them, your country is so big that you rarely hear about world news and many of you dont leave your state let alone your country, you think american english is a language when infact it is just a different way of spelling our words and probly was only invented when computers were around so you could type things easier, KKK and white supremists(nuff said) your country is swarming with foreigners who break the law such as mexicans who might i add invaded america when you stole texas of them our country right now is swarming with foreigners that have jobs such as polish(cheap labour) turkish(lovely kebab takeaways haha) and a few more which have been here for a long time also we know how to fight with our fists instead of weapons such as knives, guns and bats(i could take on 5 american gangsters in a fist fight and win and every punch connected from your side would make me laugth and if you made me bleed i would spit blood in your face and continue to laugth) if we went back in time to when we only had swords you would lose all your limbs because we knew how to sword fight, we know how to pronunce words such as Aunt and vehical it is NOT pronunce ve Hical it has a silent H. Remember when you was a child and heard about the story about the 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf well the pig with the straw house would be a realy poor country(your choice) the pig with the wooden house would be america (most of your houses are wooden hence why they are always blown down by tronados) and the pig with the brick house would be England/Britain(just about all of our houses are brick) and the big bad wolf would be someone like china or russia. When we go to war with you as allies your american soldiers get a piece of paper that tell you not to play any competitive sports with the british because we take our sports abit too seriously and would kick your arses for "trash" talking to us. You may have nukes, you may have about 300,000 more soldiers than us but we would beat you all on tactics alone and you could try to nuke us but would probly miss and hit france(no loss to us) and when we were being bombed by nazis we were infact bombing them back we didnt sit around doing nothing. You all think that the queen rules our country haha she only gives the prime minister the right to form a goverment and turns up to a few events and waves at people she is basically a symbol to the people. You stole america from the indians and then treated them like aliens and pushed them away from society and they even get treated like aliens to this day. You dont say a French person talking in french has an accent only when they speak english so why do you seem to think that someone like me (born in london lives in kent) has an accent. in 1066 the saxons who invaded england were beat by the normans the normans actualy named our country Engla land so therefore we have only been known as england since around that time and at around that time most of us spoke french so really you are speaking a language that is part french. part germanic, part latin and part celtic( gaelic or w/e) and many more. And do you even know that most of wales speak a different language from us and also some of ireland and some of the west scottish isles have to learn gaelic such as the islands of Islay and Jura. please please please tell me how long your country has been independant and even been known as america for. you most likely laugth at the facts that we got invaded by the romans(military geniuses) saxons( barbaric vikings of which the romans were scared of) and ofcourse the normans who infact invaded when the saxon forces were at their weakest just after the battle at stamford bridge. where were you when we had a hundred years war with france and when king richard the lionheart traveled to jeruserlem a fought sala al-din oh right you didnt even excist yet. you have all been in our ancestors nut sacks at one point and most of you have our surnames such as mine Brooks which is a british surname (comes from Scotland, Lancashire and bedfordshire) do i really need to right more coz i could go on all night and spam this whole post with facts which are historical and i could even provide proof to every 1 of them please message the idiot who wrote this post and tell him to close it coz it is a bunch of shit victoria beckham wtf she was famous here about 10 years ago, "football" wtf we have football and actually use our feet for more than just a field goal. you drive on the right sight of the road bullshit we had roads first that were built by the romans over a thousand years ago, child porn is illegal here and there is more of it in america and there is alot more pedos and rapists in america if we had the same amount of populace this would still be true, King Ralph WTF is that shit some american film that isnt even factual. and obviously this wanker got most of his information about the revoloutionary war from the film The patriot which is soooooooooo wrong and even braveheart is wrong in some parts because the actor and i even think director of these films is Mel Gibson(who is australian) actually hates the english with a passion and loves to make us look bad edward the longshanks wtf he was a poor excuse of an english king but seriously his son want that much of a poof and the english in the patriot WTF do they portray us as a bunch of snobby arseholes i do not know why look at the guy that mel gibson has a 1 on 1 with was he being serious we never even looked like that the actor must have been american
we are your father country or mother if you like, you are the child who spat his dummy out and got left on someone elses doorstep. FOR BRITTANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, FOR ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and most of all FOR ST GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_differences read this we introduced you to the english language in the 17th century you indian, bison eating , axe and bow weilding crazy savage star worshipping red skinned pricks
why the hell is there an american boat sunken inbetween southend and the isle of sheppy since world war 2 full of live explosives can they not afford to clean up there mess or are they just lazy
You should build a great wall of America. You know why? So that Mexicans can't come in. Bwahahahhahahaha.
I think Americans are unoriginal, they lack the quirky charm what we English have. Also, the lot of you are either extremely fat or extremely stupid - or both. So yeah fuck off you bunch of inbreds.
I am 15 years of age but I am not going to sink to your level of immaturity.
Please do not bad mouth England because you have met an englishmen you dislike. He is not representitve of everyone in england.
Most of your points are invalid. For example I think you will find the Germans invaded the Channel Islands and did not step foot on the main land! The battle of britain prevented that. So please check your sources are valid before posting claims like that! I am sorry a 15 year old girl has to correct you on your history.
I must point out that English football (soccer) is an internationaly supported sport, with teams like Manchester United selling out stadiums for every game. Also there are no fans in the world that could be more passionate than the english! Football is part of english history and culture.
Also there is no need to sware! It is really repulsive language.
I think you will find England and America are very a like. They are both great nations in there own right. I have visited America and it is a wonderful place just like England. We need to embrace eachothers culture rather than bad mouth eachother!
Just to add my teeth are perfect and I love Tea :)
the us is fully of fat, ugly, stupid cunts. england is alot better in almost every way:
culture:the only culture the us has is hamburgers and they were made in germany. you yank cunts spend soo much time infront of tv. we invented it. you steal our tv shows such as office, who wants to be a million air, big brother, x-factor and many more.
humor:us humor is you fart i laugh. english humor is far more complex and intelligente.
you steal every thing. statue of liberty=from france
why do you think its called NEW york because there was another place called york before it.
FUCK OFF YOU YANK CUNTS! go eat a hamburger and ruin the economy
Yh agree on top of the iraq war u have also lost Vietnam, Korea u eventually entered ww1 in 1917 a year before the war ended ww2 u happened to enter when Britain had defeated the Nazis in what was known as the Battle of Britain this is my top 5 Englands better than America
1. We can win Wars by ourselves
2. We arnt greasy fat shits
3. Uk had biggest empire in history in your comparison of owning some countries in caribean and pacific
4. We are the ones who drive on the right side of the road
5. Drinking age in the uk is 18 compared to your 21
lol not enough <3 in the comments ! so i love you all haha just be greatful were not actually at war else we'd all prob be playing Fallout IRL ^_^
<3 Fallout : New Vegas lol (>,")> man im tripping balls right about now
Ha ha ha, your stupidity amuses me (probably a result of your poor american education). The first thing I will pick apart is 'how arrogant do you have to be to lose a war,' VIETNAM, most of you still probably haven't acknowledged it yet, and it was the British, not just the english who used to rule your country.
The second thing that I will pick appart is the fact that you think that you drive of the 'right' side of the road, as 3/4 of the worlds countries drive like you do. Most of the people on earth believe in god (and he/she/it) isn't real.
Now onto your version of football. How much of the time do american footballers use their feet? And something else, 'soccer' was created well over 500 years ago (a long time before your country was even founded).
Now onto things that you haven't covered on why England is better than america. England has the NHS, which is universal healthcare (and no we're not 'commies') whereas you pay for health insurance that covers you for fuck-all and costs you thousands of dollars. You have the tea party, whereas insane people in England are confined to psyceatric hospitals. Most of the worlds population absolutey HATES america, so I think we can still keep talking shit and and about 5.75 billion people would probably anihilate the 0.25 billion people who live in the USA.
And finally if you hate england so much why do you speak the language?
P.S. I am scottish and absolutely hate the english, but their a lot better than you.
Sorry there was a spelling mistake on my last comment, but their a lot better than you should have been but they're a lot better than you.
P.S. Germans haven't invaded England in about 1600 years (which was when the saxons came over). Oh and if you're going to repley don't leave it two years.
nice subject change well i need fallout new vegas number 3 was amazing and yes if we went to war it would end up like that its just a shame us british havnt got very many nukes
america are all fat cunts because they eat most of the world food supply steal everybody elses oil and then say we are the greatest country in the world ...... and you all think we talk like the queen get a fucking grip you silly cunts england is rough as arseholes and america is full of men that act talk and dress like there gay
The guy that wrote the article is an idiot and so are 90% of the people who posted comments.
I'd just like to let the people that bash people from other countries know that all it does is make you look like a fool. Seeing as how no one likes people that throw insults around all the time, it also puts a bad image on the people from your own country. Which would be the reason why the people from the country your bashing are bashing you as well. Which leads to you bashing them more and... Snowball effect. Look it up. Anyway, each and every person (or in this case, country) has its own ups and downs. No one or anything is perfect.
On the subject of America and Britain: In all honesty, I'm only fifteen years old and from America. But, with the small amount of knowledge I've attained in my short life, I'd choose to live in Britain over America any day. Not because of all the previously stated stereotypes associated with America, but because I want to. And I like trying new things. And I love their accents. And I think Britain is just an amazing place. Simple as that. But, the fact that I think Harry Potter is fucking awesome might have something to do with it, too... My point: Everyone has their own tastes and ideals, no way to change them. Especially with senseless bickering. Anyway, if I could, I'd choose to live in New Zealand. Its just such a beautiful place. I cant put my feelings towards New Zealand into words... I.. I just love it so much. Not to mention it'd be amazing for mountain biking, one of my favorite things to do :D
Anyway, enough about me. Just stop bashing other countries and their citizens. As I previously stated, it does nothing but make you look like a fool and the people your bashing think of your whole country the same way they do you. I mean, to the simple minded (which would be the only kind of person bothering with you), if one person of a certain group/country/race/religion/*Word signifying a group of people supporting the same ideal(s)* acts that way, then everyone else must be the same. Which, if you teach your kids that idiocy, it leads to an even more arrogant generation because they grow up with it. S'bad, mmkay? So stop.
You and your Hollywood smile. Which to be truthfully is probably a whole lot of bullshit anyway. I bet your some un-educated bastard from down south who has never seen a toothbrush let alone applied one to his tooth surfaces, which is just as well really as your attitudes are pretty much the same. I'm sorry if you want to compare the poverty in america to the socially accepted standard in the UK we will speak about this. What qualifications do you have that allow you to make these suggestions? Maybe an american college degree (which in england is regarded on the same level as a broken printer) You may ask what qualifications I have to make these suggestions and the answer is a degree from the London school of economics in Law. Also you said about american teeth? Isn't it correct that 47 million american's can't afford a visit to the doctor, so that defiantly rules out the dentist too. I think.
What a load of crap.Firstly, just because we drive on a different side on the road to you doesn't mean we're wrong.Secondly, the U.S HAS been invaded, by US.And Germany NEVER occupied London.Get your facts straight, you American fucknut!!
Oh, and how DARE you insult British people.We invented the English language, so you should be grateful.At least we know our Gerography (Unlike most of you) and are not fat!!!XD
USA vs. england in a war. who wins. exactly. we'd nuke the shit out of you. yes, we might have a high obesity rate and yes blah blah blah fuck off americans but at the end of the day we would FUCK YOUR GODDAMN COUNTRY OVER IN A WAR. SO FUCK OFF ENGLAND.
really, that is the only way you can win a war, by nuking them. If you even tried the fuck with Britain, Europe would fuck with you. We would completely crush you.
Yeah, no. Uncool. Ofcourse you'd nuke us. If we were in a war. But our government are like brothers. How long have we been allies? Yeah, I understand there are racial stereotypes about Americans as there is in your country about the British. And as there is about most countries! (eg. The Welsh have sex with sheep, The Irish drink way more than any other counry that you're practically walking through beer bottles, people from Alabama, Georgia etc sleep with their siblings, etc) But it's the people with intellect that can see through the rumours and into the actual place.
OK, you americans hate the english. we all get it.
Let me make one thing clear.
the Scottish hate the English
the Welsh hate the English
the Irish hate the English
the English hate everyone, especially the English
but together we are British and we all hate the Americans.
Suck on that you fat american, inbred, sister fucking cunt.
My lord! Reading through this vast mass of ignorance has made me thoroughly terrified for the future of both countries. The author should be pleased that nothing can surpass the idiocy of the original article (sarcasm, it must be pointed out for I hear your understanding of it is greatly impaired), which I stumbled across having searched "Are Americans aware that no one else plays American Football?".
May I suggest as additional reading;
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blrevocation_cleese.htm
Which discusses the argument in a humourous and intelligent manner, unlike the original post.
Lastly I'd just like to say, as someone who lives in England and has been to America multiple times, that your country felt to be lacking conscience and soul, although with friendly, albeit stupid, people (what do you expect, everything felt to be talking to me as if I were a child, compare a National Geographic documentary to a BBC one and you'll see what I am referring to). As you should be able to see I am not stating this as a fact, merely my opinion. Take as much heed as you so desire.
Love, the minimally educated Brit.
people may mock the NHS, yes it has its flaws but so does the american health service. Here in Britain its free, the only think you have to worry about is getting better. in America, you have to worry about insurance and the getting better.
Britain has had some of the greatest and most influential leaders in history. Queen Victoria, Margret Thatcher. You have had a few good presidents. The first presidents of your country were born in British America, therefore they were British. The american war of independence, you had the french helping you and we were way outnumbered, but we lasted for a few years.
Education in your country is a joke, here in Britain, to go to university, you get a student loan and pay that back when you are working. In America, unless your family is rich, you need scholarships.
you may say that the monarchy is one of the least democratic forms of government, but in Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and twelve other countries, it works and those twelve have the same monarch, and there are others. The system works and it offers stability to the government as the votes cannot be fixed.
PS If you are an american reading this and some of the big words confused you (to Americans, more than one syllable) i am sorry, perhaps you should come to Britain to get a better education and see for yourself what a great country it is and the stereotypes are wrong.
On the other hand you could stay in your own fucking country and go back to your trailer and shag your sister, you never know, with the amount of inbreeding in the american population, it could be your mother.
First point, its called Great Britain
second point, We dont steal natural resources such as Oil and gas from other country's, cause america burns billion gallons of gasline a day that about 25 million barrels of oil a day, that much oil in Britain would last us 3 years
Britain Scientist say oil will run out in 2060, if i done my math right if we remove america out of the world oil reserves would last to 2208, then our kid will be saved
Third Point, our government doesn't not lie to us unlike yours,
four point, 75% of america do not recycle materials such paper and plastics, which is lowest rate in the world compare every other country -- every wonderer why our planet in the shit ?
fifth point USA, last 5 years Homeicide rates 3.98, Suicide rates 5.92, Other 0.36, again way more than my country fact 70% more
point six, in the USA Health care is really fucked up, i could write whole essay more than 2000 words about obama mistakes and its not a laughing matter
This is stupid!!! I live in America now but I am a citizen of England and I think this is all dumb!!!! Both countries have things not to be proud of and I think we both have things the one up the other country. BUT lets face it we are probably the 2 best countries in the world basically we are so much alike we are like siblings that bicker sometimes and sometimes get along! So stop this nonsense.
I DONT FUCKING CARE ABOUT AMERICA THERE WAS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE ATOMIC BOMB BUT IF YOU INVADED YOU WOULD HAVE HAD AN EARLIER VIETNAM YOU BITCHES ALSO YOU ARE A SET OF RACIST FUCKS ALSO YEA TECHNICALLY AMERICA HAS BEEN INVADED BY YOU THE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE THE TRUE AMERICANS AND FOR EVERY AMERICAN THEY KILLED IN THE INDIAN WARS I PROUDLY SALUTE THEM
I DONT FUCKING CARE ABOUT AMERICA THERE WAS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE ATOMIC BOMB BUT IF YOU INVADED YOU WOULD HAVE HAD AN EARLIER VIETNAM YOU BITCHES ALSO YOU ARE A SET OF RACIST FUCKS ALSO YEA TECHNICALLY AMERICA HAS BEEN INVADED BY YOU THE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE THE TRUE AMERICANS AND FOR EVERY AMERICAN THEY KILLED IN THE INDIAN WARS I PROUDLY SALUTE THEM
You are a fucking joke. LOL America number 1... america number 2... all over Obama's fucking shoe.
If I could, I would crush america without a single thought, regret or remorse for helping turn the world more immoral than it already was. Great job America.
Fucking filthy sheep and swine. Too fat to fucking see your own dicks. I am sending money to China to fuck you up and teach you a lesson in humility. Oh don't worry... 2012 is real... just not quite what everyone thinks.
BIggot hypocritical polygamist bastards that don't even care about their own children, feeding them lard and poison. Too stupid to even realize they are the asshole of the world. This is why no-body likes you wherever you go. Sure Mexico is a hot tourist spot and they treat americans nice... they love your money. Doesn't mean they don't piss in your drink when your not looking you filthy fuck.
For fucks sake read some shit on here and errrmmm you needed the French to help claim your independence and yeah we finish wars such as Falklands and also i am sick of hearing your shit of how great America is and you only got involved in world war 2 because of pearl harbour also you only used slaves cause your a bunch of fat obese bastards.
when we ended slavery in Britain we ended itt properly giving full rights to every citizen NO MATTER WHAT ETHNIC GROUP.
Yeah do you know what makes me laugh you dumb ass Americans tried to segregate Japanese, Chinese and Korean citizens who helped settle America but the Japanese government condemned it and your president did as they said like a BITCH before to the events of pearl harbour
WoW, can you say oxyMORON? "THe United States of America is the world's most powerful nation. We are not fat and uneducated!" Either that is the biggest oxymoron i've ever seen or someone just trolled me really, really good.
-Greetings from Canada!

just thought I'd make sure everyone understands what the words mean. Unlike the retard above.
You say you have nothing against England, when you clearly do. Judging by that message, you would bomb our country if you had the chance.
Our culture is bigger than yours, our history dates back centuries, and we have more famous figures. Our country is the right size, we have better food, better landmarks, a better influence on the world. Oh, and we're nicer than you guys, and our country doesn't rely on skyscrapers to look cool.
Seriously, your country blows. You're exactly like a typical American: disrespectful and disgusting. Think your country is so perfect? Shove a hamburger up your arse, and drive your tow truck off of one of your billion skyscrapers, you ignorant redneck prick.
Really, I'm sorry for you guys. You guys don't have what we have.
Germany NEVER invaded the United kingdom London remained free, you cant argue that its historical fact... USA arrived late 1942 early 1943... the war by then was already going badly for Germany...
Child pornography is illegal in the United States... so it is in UK... in fact laws are tighter here about it, they're restricted to where they can live and where they can go once out of prison.
THE BIGGEST THING THOUGH is the UK has a free healthcare for people who cant afford to pay. if your poor in us and get sick you die, in UK you get same treatment as the Queen.
p.s. Winston Churchill was a drunk, he loved the US, he loved the UK more. just because he was a drunk doesn't change how he single handedly lead Britain through the second world war, thus giving the US and Britain bases to attack Germany...
Why is America better? Because we invented the internet, which allows everyone to insult each other
The funniest thing is that theres alot of these on the ol' tinterweb.
Me being a Brit would have to disagree, for many simple reasons...
Ill list a few.
1) Firstly, Brits dont need a car to go see there next-door neighbours.
2)Britain has the word Great in front of it, which America has never, and never will have.
3) We have our own language, you take out a few U's and suddenly its american English? (Plus you had to change the word pavement to 'sidewalk', you dumbasses have to be reminded to walk on the side of the road or something?
4) America has never invaded a country.
5) Every time americans go to war, who do they call? The Brits.
6) Us Brits train your dumbass army.

Britain is a great country. How many wars have you won on your own America? You said the Falkland war was a military impossibility. The British won within 74 days. As for you, the war of independence, you had the french helping you and it lasted 3 years.
The Spanish armada was crushed by the British, the remaining ships were destroyed by the waters around Britain.
We didn't elect a black person to run our country, before you say we are racists. This is my view, i will admit i am a hypocrite and a racist. Unlike you, all men are created equal, except you kept people as slaves. Yes we had slaves, but when we abolished slavery, we gave everyone equal rights.
I hope that wasn't to much to take in, i know your education system isn't fucked up. You inbred yanks.
9/11 was the worst thing to happen to America,
And the best thing to happen to the world.
R.I.P the British people who died on that day.
By the way, the terrorists tried to destroy the white house, we actually burnt it down.
Long live the Queen!
ignorant post, you watrch too many sp called british movies. come visit different regions of england and see the reality.
and i couldnt give a shit about the queen to be honest. im from england, i dont brag, i get on with my own life. end of the day we are all a mass imigration that started out in afrca.
whats this about one american football game drinks more than europe in one day? haha. whatever pall
ok here goes to all the americans please dont follow what you have been taught in school, the 1812 war ok, we left to deal with a greater threat nearer to home, the french, once we finished with them america decided to try and take canada so we went back and stopped you, we even took the whitehouse as it was then, both sides decided to sign a peace treaty, which effectively ended the war, please look it up.
Ok the UK were the first governement to make slaverly illegal, this was before your civil war which was only about slavery whan lincolin need more support from americans, the real reason for the civil war was cotton and taxes it brought, the south got fed up with the north bringing in the tax which only effected the southern states, hence its also called the cotton war.
Now every american i have meet says america won the war for the world, i can see why has anyone ever seen the american documentaries about ww2 they are nothing but proper gander, according to them no other country was involved so an americans who watch them think along the same line, the turning point of ww2 was the battle of britain, that gave us enough time to sort some stuff out, germany would never have won ww2 due to one fact and no it was not america, it was that germany decided to fight the russians, big mistake.
Also 50% of the world inventions which we use to day is down to the uk.
The reason why the world hates america is simple its down to americans from the president down to the normal person on the street, most have the same attitude that america is the best country and is whiter that white. America have more than enough troubles, as for the military lets be honest her american military is far from the best, they rely to much on tech and not on the person, america hold the record on the most blue on blue than any other country, a british hostage was taken the americans said they would rescue her and instead it was an american grenade that was thrown by an american soldier which killed her.
As a country america only has one thing greed, its all about the dollar, tbh they dont care how they get it.
You have a country where a 4 year old child can be sued i mean come on 4 years old. And to say england has alot of paedophiles, statistics say America has alot more and that is a fact look it up. America as a country is rife with alot of crap like most countries, but in america there is more of it. The one thing america must learn is this without the UK there would be no america, and you also have to thank the UK for the magna carta, without that one document your constitution would not excist.
So if your gona say usa is better than uk remember one thing without the uk there would be no usa.
OK in the Vietnam war you had among others, Australia and new zealand fighting as well. Before you say our queen is shit, think about who runs their country.
You probably guessed wrong so i might as well tell you. It is the Queen "of England". By the way the title queen or king of England has not existed for 303 years. after the act of union in 1707, the title changed to the king/queen of great Britain.
please could all Americans watch this video
Oh that's rather rascist don't you think?
You are the most intolerant, narrow minded country in modern history. And you can't argue back given the nature of this article.
How about the fact 50 or so yers ago you still had segregation? They were your own people.
Or even less than that when you massacured your own native people at Wounded Knee? They were your own people?
Or how in the Second World War you put your own people who just so happenned to be of japanese descent into what were effectively concentration camps?
Oh and the fact you still have a kkk, or that you're one of the most homo-phobic countries in the world?
You have no real health care system. Again, you don't seem to take good care of your own people, do you?
Oh and your fat.
And scared of socialism.
We do not have bad teeth. Here we actually have the NHS, so braces are only given out to those who need them, rather than in America where you have to pay, so it's the norm for anybody's who aren't pearly white and straight to get them. We all get free dental, so our teeth are healthier than yours. I guess were not as superficial.
We also understand spelling and grammar. We pronounce our words properly. We spell them the right way too. Colour. Harbour.
One that particually irritates me is "I could care less". It makes no sense. If it were possible for you to care less (without getting into negative-caring), you would have to care a bit. So by saing "I could care less" you are actually saying "I care".
And you have no sense of humour.
Still not understood the irony behind that fact that your football, doesn't even involve a foot or a ball?
And you didn't win WW2. You kept out of it as long as you possibly could. If anything you made it worse, had you helped us before, we could have won much earlier, saving countless lives. But I forget- you country has a penchant for war, doesn't it?
This is getting to be a fun game...
"We also understand spelling and grammar."
"Oh and your fat."
Understand spelling and grammar?
"Your" does not equal "you are"
People: you're making this to easy for me.
And the correct phase is "I COULDN'T care less" as in "could not". Make sense now?
Also, you said these two things in the same paragraph:
About war: "You kept out of it as long as you possibly could."
AND: "you country has a penchant for war"
Kinda contradictory statements... No?
It is so sad that J B Hour and other Americans are so ignorant that they have no idea which country they "chucked out" of America in the War of Independence. England has not existed as an independent state since 1 May 1707. America was fighting the United Kingdom of Great Britain at the time - not England and any subsequent references to the King or Queen of England are incorrect as there has been no such position for over three hundred years. Therefore any references to the current Queen Elizabeth as Queen of "England" show a massive degree of ignorance (which also applies to some English people who also do not seem aware of what sovereign state they live in). To be taken seriously at least show some degree of intelligence by getting your facts right!
I'm an American and I realize that YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT. YOU STUPID FASCIST MOTHERFUCKING NAZI.
Annoyed I bothered reading all that, you are poorly educated and embarrassing the us, stop talking.
this is really ignorant im from the u.s. but most of these things arent even true both countries have their faults but both countries are great so why argue that one is better than the other
Oh and to the idiot that stated Britain isn't your mother country, not only is your countries rebellion no less than and no more than a Scottish rebellion, you live in Scotland's modern world.
Sir Winston Churchill an Englishman (not biased) once quoted saying something about Scotland that no historian on the planet earth could dare argue with,
"Off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind"
The United States of America, lives off so much Scottish history, you don't even realise it, you have keyrings and don't even realise they are a Scottish invention, these small things you take for granted. You even drive about on the Tarmacadamised Road system, invented by John MacAdam of Scotland. You live and see through the eyes of Scots, and this was even stated by an American author and American historian, who has no Scottish heritage or blood, thus is not biased. Does that piss you off? Of course it would.
I bet you're the type of American that flies that American flag thinking your own people won your rebellion, this will prove how poor your countries education is. And I'm ashamed to say, Colleges, Schools and Universities, it were the Scots that established them in your country, sadly, something went wrong, the teachers, the whole educational system, such a sad sight.
I'll give you all one reason why Britain is better than America: music.
1. First of all, before you start talking about Blues, jazz, rock'n'roll etc. every one of those genres was invented by a black man (Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry etc.), ad because of this you racist pigs ignored it. Nearly every blues and rock'n'roll artist (as well as Hendrix) became popular in Britain first. It was our musicians who took influence from those artists and then incorperated it into our music. Bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones then became massively popular in America (the beatles have sold 1 billion 300 million albums to date). Thus it was our muscians who made your music big.
2. We invented rock, metal and pop. Thoses three genres make up the majority of all popular music played today. The Beatles invented pop, Led Zeppelin invented hard rock and Black Sabbath (with influence from Zeppelin) invented metal.
Not only that, but we are also massively better at playing those genres. Try to think of an American band that have been as influencial or as musically skilled as Led Zeppelin, the Stones, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, David Bowie, Cream, The Who, Def Leppard, etc. The only American acts I can think of that even come close to the British rock gods are Hendrix and Metallica. And they were greatly influenced by British bands.
3. We have Pink Floyd. You do not, and you don't have anything even close to the musical and lyrical genius of Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour. You did however, create rap. And the world still hasn't forgiven you for that yet.
Oh, and I can give you some evidence why all American's are stupid. A Northern-Irish friend of mine once went to America. He was talking to an American student, who didn't seem to understand the concept of Northern Ireland (and for any yanks who don't, Northern Ireland is situated to the North-East of the island of Ireland. It is part of the UK, hence The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is its full name. The Republic of Ireland incompasses the rest of Ireland, and is an independant country). Not only did this student not seem to understand that, he was also under the impression that my friend was in America because he was fleeing from "The Potato Famine".
Americans are thick, ignorant, self-obessed pricks.
As for the comment about American football, first of all, am a Rangers supporter, that is of course the Famous Glasgow Rangers Football Club, one of Europes biggest clubs. Born into a fierce rivalry with Celtic Football Club, something that far surpasses the passion of anything over there. And you talk about pints?? drink consumed?
Try this
http://www.scotlandia.com/index.php?cat=1&paged=2
Tartan Army drank 265,000 pints in 3 days
The Tartan army are the Scots, a wouldn't boast and is nothing really to be proud of, but since you wanted something shown to you, that above just gives you evidence that Scotland would drink you under the table basically lol
I would just like to say that the USA did not win the second world war, for the following reasons:
1. Before America made any military action against the Germans they were already suffering major setbacks in Russia and North Africa, It may have taken a little longer, but the Russians would have continued throwing men at them until the Germans were obliterated.
2. The RUSSIAN flag flew over the Reichstag the day the second world war ended, they took Berlin and if it wasn't for there enormous sacrifices on the eastern front the entire world would have been fucked over.
So, in conclusion, the Americans did not win the war, neither did the British, the Russians did.
Watch this

What a disgrace, that flag could have been used to help heat someones home.
why do you hate England so much, lets face it, England is the best ally you will ever have. When you need a pointless war fighting. You ask us for help. We needed your help when Britain joined WW2. I'll admit it, Our cities were being bombed.
But Britain, the rainy little island has had one of the biggest empires the world has ever seen. I thank Canada for staying with us after the war of independence. You however you mother fucking cunt, have been nothing but trouble for the world.
America is like the ginger step child that you think should have been aborted before birth.
The desk in the oval office, a gift from Queen Victoria.
Your welcome you arrogant cunts, i hope you all died a horrible death. Maybe there should be another terrorist attack. If it destroys new york that would be a real shame. Such a beautiful city. Then again it is full of Americans so who the hell cares.
Why does it matter what country is better? Truth be told, we're all in an economic situation that could mess up generations. We should be working together to solve it, solve the conflicts around the world and stop arguing about the past. Yes, the Americans saved Britain and every other country in WWII, but Americans should be proud of that, not using it as an excuse that they're better; they just have a better military. Yes, London was almost invaded in tht same war by the Nazis before Winston Churchill blew up the French ship, sacrificing the French to kill the Nazis as the boat had been taken over. Yes, British people drink tea. But so do some Americans! The Birtish used to consider Victoria Beckham as a celebrity when she was in spice girls, but she isn't anymore, all she does is produce her own perfume range. She's just a footballer wife. Child pornography is, infact, illegal. There are often stories of men (& some women) going to jail for it, for atleast 5 years. And I don't know what this Elton John business is. I've never heard anything about it and I aren't going to justify it. He probably got let off because he has lots of money to pay really good lawyers and if not, he was probably just acquited, like most celebrities.
are you a fucking retard, America did not save us in WW2. They showed up at the end and ever since have being saying they won the war.
The battle of Britain was Britain's last chance. if we lost, Britain would be free for invasion by the German forces. However we won the battle and Hitler called off the invasion.
Scotland, the country that became second only to the Ancient Greeks, a country that was the world leader in medicine and education and you tell me I should learn about history? You are a fool for several reasons. Most historians will tell you themselves it was not an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish rebellion. Repeat, HISTORIANS are telling you it was not an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Rebellion.
The very fact you don't even know anything about your own rebellion proves you know sweet fuck all about your own countries history. You also do not know that Robert Burns, yes that's correct, Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet and the greatest Scot that ever lived, was the one that influenced the Great Awakening, he was the one that caused the Presbyterian Reformation.
Presbyterians, who were they? They weren't American, why? Because American people called them Scotch-Irish, referring to those who were Ulster Scots, Highlanders and Lowlanders, they were not American, they were known as Rednecks, Hillbillies and of course Crackers.
Cracker - Deriving from the Gaelic word Craic, meaning talk
Hillbillies - Mountainous supporters of King Billy, the Dutch King the III, King Billy, the one who lead the Scots into war with the Republic of Ireland fighting for Ulster's (Norn Ireland's) Freedom. They were then forced to leave their land behind and in the 1680's the first Scots landed foot in America. They took their fighting and colonizing habits with them and they colonized the entire south, because they did not feel comfortable unless they had at least moved twice, and crops were running dry.
By the time the civil war broke out, 75% of America's south were of course Celtic blooded people, bridges etc, all built by Scots, Welsh and Irish.
Americans called the Presbyterians Scotch-Irish, they were only Irish by geography, they were Scots who fought for Norn Ireland, they were not American, they made up more than half of your army, as well as Calvanists. Not only that, Robert Burns was the one that caused the PRESBYTERIAN Reformation, meaning a SCOTTISH reformation.
The very fact that historians will tell you themselves and most of them, that it was not an American rebellion but a Scottish rebellion, will tell you how uneducated you really are, and if you want to argue with historians, be my guest and be the typical ('Parochial') small, narrow minded American and try and argue against the very fact historians are telling you that.
Being a typical American though, you probably believe you know more than historians do, which is why you think you can argue with me, when in real fact, you haven't a leg to stand on, why? Because historians are telling you that themselves. Your country never won any rebellion, why?? BECAUSE it was SCOTLAND, that won it for you!! That's why!! but since you like to believe otherwise, am not the one uneducated, you are! Again, I repeat since you're probably too thick to take this in, Historians themselves and MOST of them, will tell you it was not an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Presbyterian Rebellion.
Oh and incase you didn't know, Scots fought on both sides of the war, I know and am educated enough to know. Christ, even Arthur Herman, an American Author, American historian, who wrote the book the Scottish Enlightenment, could tell you all this himself, and he hasn't even got an ounce of Scottish blood or heritage in him.
You telling a SCOT, that's correct, a SCOT that I've to get an education is simply a laugh, why? we were the ones that educated the modern world and lead the way forward! That's how, we invented your modern world, we influenced your modern world whilst the whole of Europe followed off us.
What is completely laughable by American standards, they're so thick, they're stupid enough to sit and think China has achieved more than Scotland in history, need I say anymore? No! I don't.
Let me show you this.
Sir Winston churchill, an ENGLISHMAN (thus not biased by any standards) once quoted saying something that NO historian on the planet earth could dare argue with, what did he once quote saying about Scotland? He said
"Off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind"
Yet again, no historian on the planet earth could dare argue with what he once said, but you being American and childish and can't take defeat in an argument, you'll try and argue with it, despite the fact historians can't. What's that say about American people like you?
Do you know why America is a young and learning nation? Because it simply is pal, you're talking to someone that loves America and the American people by the way, but there are certain American people like you who are so uneducated it's unreal. You honestly think your people fought and won your countries independence? Did they fuck!!
MORE THAN HALF of your army were SCOTTISH!!
Robert Burns single handedly united the Presbyterian SCOTTISH people to cause the Great Awakening. Where would your independence be without that Great Awakening?? NO WHERE!! who caused it?? ROBERT BURNS
and guess what, 99.9% of American people wouldn't even have known that, why? Becuase your country sadly lacks proper education that's why!! you thought he only wrote Auld Lang Syne, need I say anymore? No! because you aren't even educated enough to argue against everything I've put out.
1) Historians will tell you themselves and MOST of them, that it was not an American rebellion but no less than and no more than a Scottish Presbyterian Rebellion.
2) Historians cannot argue with what Sir Winston Churchill once quoted saying, so that'll really make you sick
3) You're probably stupid enough to argue with it, despite the fact historians wouldn't dare do so themselves. What's that say about how stupid you are?
Oh and by the way, not only did Sir Winston Churchill once quote saying that, that historians can't argue with, you mentioned about the battle of Culloden, which by the way is in my country up north in Inverness, which I took a tour of and know enough about.
Most of the Government forces that defeated the Jacobite Army in the highlands, were fucking Scots themselves.
IT WAS A FUCKING CIVIL WAR!!
Shows you just how little you know about the Battle of Culloden.
is this guy a fucking idiot? the last time britain was invaded was in 1066- germany never occupied london and churchill was the only leader who guessed what stalin was up to- the yank president was to busy trying to lick his boots.king ralph is a american film which explains how bad it is.Also,the reason that britain never recognised the war of independence and the new state of america was that it was illegal! the only other country that recognised it was france and well, that france for you.technically, parts of the states have been 'taken'- lets not forget the mexican border skirmishes. On a final note- its britain or united kingdom- the uk is made up of 4 countries- northern ireland, england, scotland and wales ! phew, rant over
I gotta say, though... The Scotland guy is an absolute riot to read. It's been my daily dose of entertainment lately.
PraTrp, if you want a riot mate, look up this book:-
The Scottish Enlightenment
Written by an American Author & American Historian, someone with no Scottish blood and no Scottish heritage what so ever. Even he could tell you what Scotland done for America, lets just say, the impact Scotland had on the modern world never let alone America, is massive. It's why no historians could sit and argue with Scotland being second only to the Ancient Greeks.
Let me first get this off my chest though. I was born in Scotland, Glasgow. Patriotic of course and very proud of my countries history. I have studied enough to know about the American revolution. This is why am going to sit here and explain and correct the whole FRENCH BULLSHIT!!
________________________________________
1) France, who the fuck did France look up to for inspiration on their so called French Revolution?? oh that's right SCOTLAND and that is no less than a fucking fact.
2) All those French named places all over America, they aren't even French, their Gaelic.
__________________________________________
Gaelic was a language spoken by the Gaul's. They settled in a land now known as Ireland. The Normandy people settled in France for 3 years picking up the French language, they then settled amongst the Gauls in Ireland (Celtic people) and so the Gaelic Language is some what similar to the French spoken language, which explains the Welsh, Scottish and Irish settlers in America and why 75% of America's south were Celtic blooded people and why there are so many French named places all over the United States, because it isn't actually French, it's Gaelic.
It was the Scots, Welsh and Irish that had mainly built their towns and villages.
Did you know that in the highland clearances, more than 2 and a half million Scots, were forced to leave their land behind and 2 and a half million Scotland, landed foot in every continent in the world, and every continent in the world the Scots touched, the Scots brought with them strong literacy skills.
Scotland was the world leader in Education and Medicine. Every continent in the world Scotland touched, the world changed.
I Love America and the American people, but from what I read was utter shite basically. I am British, that must be made clear, and no, being British does not make you English, most certainly not. To the fool that posted the blog and mentioned about American Football, I'll say this one thing. You have never seen Rangers vs Celtic and why it's one of the fiercest rivalries around, and if you even try to compare the atmosphere of that crap over there, sit and watch this, and this is only a Scotland match before the match even started.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZGVCjf6B8c
That's before the Scotland fans even get into the stadium, that was Scotland fans, (tartan army) before they even reached the stadium in Paris. And you talk about American football?? Your passion doesn't even compare to that.
And guess what? having been born a Rangers supporter, born in the east end of Glasgow near Celtic Park, I can fucking kindly tell you this, you have no fucking idea how much hatred revolves around Rangers and Celtic. Like to see you attempt wearing blue in Glasgow after Rangers beat Celtic at Celtic Park, chances are, you'd get attacked or attempted murder put across you. None of that stupid daft wee toy game rivalry pish sitting over there in your American football where you practically sit the gether.
And about the pints?
http://www.heraldscotland.com/tartan-army-drank-265-000-pints-in-3-days-...
Someone was banging off how they drink us fans under the table, oh really? Scotland fans were destined to go to Italy, and you know what? That small town in Italy, FEARED not because there'd be trouble, but because they knew the Scots were coming, and wherever there's a Scot, there's drink.
________________________________________
Tartan Army drank 265,000 pints in 3 days
The Italians may have imposed an alcohol ban before the invasion of the Tartan Army, but it did not stop the Scots eating, drinking and being extremely merry.
According to Bari authorities, the typical Scotland fan drank an incredible five gallons of beer during a three-day stay.
__________________________________________
There ye go!! That was even after a ban! 265,000 pints, and per Scot, 5 gallons, and you were talking about American football supporters? LOL
I've always said it, and I'll say it again, the day they sit 60,000 Celtic fans in one end of an American football stadium, and 60,000 Rangers fans on the other end, and about fuck knows how much security on each end dividing the two, with 20,000 American supporters behind each goal. That's the day they'll get their fucking eyes open, because the atmosphere is that explosive, it'd go right fucking through you lol they'd be selling spare boxers at the start or end of the match specifically for the American supporters sitting behind each goal, because all they'd be thinking about is how the fuck they're getting away from there safely lol And fucking believe me, I'd bloody well know that, I experience that hatred every time Rangers gub Celtic.
And to answer about the teeth comment made by the original blog poster. Not everyones teeth are that bad, but like I have kindly explained, in America there is a higher content of flouride in your water, that is one of the reasons. The other thing to note is that just like Robert Burns explained, just like tinsel, it is just a show, it is not the true measure or judge of a person. To judge a person is not by appearance but by the character of a person. Sadly, in America, it's a young and learning nation, full of competition in it's culture and stupid materialism.
I'm not saying we don't get that here, but it's not even close to how extreme it is in America. People in America compete against one another over the most stupid things alive, for example, you could say you went and done river rafting or fucking I don't know, Canyoning, you could speak about how cold the water was, like -5 or some shit, and the American will always, ALWAYS feel the need to compete against it to get the one better of over the other, WHY????? FUCKING WHY????? there's always one that has to say "oh that's nothing I was in -80 degrees!" oh really?? oh fucking really? well you're fucking heeman then!! LOL
Those are the small things I don't like about America, but I do love the American people, I love their accent, I don't think all Americans are stupid and I don't think all Americans are ignorant, just the same with anywhere. In fact although there's a rivalry and divide between Scotland and England, even between Scotland and England there is still some really nice folk I meet from down south.
And to the person that went off about how they saved our lives, no you didn't, no you did not. Not only did we give you your medical education, we gave you your independence. And most importantly, during World War I and II what stands most important above all is medical help, which people seem to forget about. What about all those soldiers that ended up injured and to those innocent folk that ended up injured, and they survived to live another day, all due to medical help, and who is that thanks to? Scotland!
One of the most important of them all, Penicillin, discovered by a Scot, may have been by accident, but lets face it, how you think most discoveries are mostly made, experimenting. Look at the war in Iraq, with injured soldiers in the dirt, Penicllin alone has saved more than 2 billion peoples lives and that's not even including all the other Scottish medical discoveries.
And yes, the person that went off about Battle of Culloden, most of the Government forces that defeated the Jacobite army were Scots. Scotland as a country is unconquered and free, Scotland has never been conquered, not by the Romans, and most certainly not by the English, not even the Scandanavian scourges could conquer Scotland.
I wonder why 95% of the SAS are Scottish? I wonder why Poland and Russia called upon the Scots to fight for them? I wonder why England called upon us when Spain tried to invade, and you know what happened to Spain soon as the Scots jumped in? They were fucked!
My people were forced off our land, they had no choice but to colonize the entire southern part of America, plus the Scots didn't just settle south, they settled in the north, they fought both sides of the civil war. The Confeds flag practically is a Scottish Saltire (flag). Look up the name Nova Scotia in Canada, it's called that because it's known as New Scotland.
Scotland gained their revenge for the battle of Culloden, it's called the American war of Independence that is celebrated every 4th of July. My people fought and died for their freedom and for their new way of life. In many regards it is one of the reason I see America as a second home, because it's where my people settled. I just think it's a shame that the educational system is failing in America, and that is not the American people's fault, but the fucking bankers that control their country.
To the other person that said we should be together rather than saying one country is better than the other, I do agree strongly. The sooner you lot realise just how much evil is in control of the US right now, the better, and believe me, we both have something in common, we both hate our own governments. Sometimes I wish Robert Burns was alive today, so he could single handedly rip both Governments a new arsehole with work of a poetic genius!
You know, I never could give a damn fuck about World War II, especially in history class, it really bored me to tears. You know one of the most important inventions, invented by a Scot, The Radar, was one invention that saved Britain's arse from Subs that were heading towards Britain. The other thing is, too often do I hear how if it wasn't for America, we'd all be speaking German.
1) America celebrates Scottish Independence Day every 4th of July.
2) Scotland has saved more lives than those lost in every single war and battle that has ever faced the planet earths history.
Just sit and think how many lives that is that Scotland has saved. Sit and think up every war and battle in earths history, then you'll see why I'd post that when any American sits and says "we saved your asses in World War II?" Oh really? We save your arse every day, it's called, medicine.
War is not something to shout about, nor is it something to be proud for, yes we proudly put an end to the war, but you know what? Neither should be shouting about who ended it, or who saved who's life, it's a case of putting an end to it.
America did not join the war till late, yes, but they joined none the less and helped Britain put a stop to the tyranny of Hitler and his army. Doesn't matter who won, it was a combined help and that's all that matters. They are our allies and that's all that matters. It's not about who's country is better than the other.
I revert back to one of my favourite song/poems by Robert Burns, and agree strongly with what he says at the end of 'Is There For Honest Poverty'.

That's the way things should be.
Yeah right. but with the tirades and rubbish you come out with in your posts against anybody who doesn’t agree with you , I hardly think you are the one to express such sentiments LOL
who me? Oh that's funny, because the same rubbish I posted weren't based on opinions, they're based on facts. Let's post some of these facts.
1) Sir Winston Churchill once said "off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind" You know what's great about this? Historians and no historian on the planet earth could argue with what he once said. Plus the fact, he's English, thus is not biased towards Scotland. Was that Rubbish? No! but your claims show and prove that you think you know more than historians do, which is laughable in it's own right, because not even historians could dare argue with what Sir Winston Churchill once said.
2) As most HISTORIANS will tell you, it was not an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Presbyterian Rebellion. The very FACT that historians will tell you this themselves, and you perhaps are telling me it's rubbish, again that's quite laughable, because most historians will tell you that themselves. What do historians do for a living in terms of work? They study history.
3) Scotland has saved more lives than those lost in every single war and battle that has ever set foot on the planet earths history, this is also a fact, do you know what a fact is? Perhaps not by the looks of things, because you don't realise why Scotland became second only to the Ancient Greeks. Just try looking up how many lives Penicillin has saved, never let alone all the other Scottish medical discoveries. Scotland was the world leader in medicine and of course education. Neither of this is rubbish, they are both facts. Scotland built the foundations of the modern world, another fact. The whole of Europe followed off Scotland's inspiration, another fact. So I'd love to see where you're getting this rubbish from that I'm talking crap? No, no! no! I'm posting educated facts!
Here's another fact for you, the French looked up to Scotland for inspiration when it came to their French Revolution, then again, do you even realise how much INFLUENCE Scotland had upon the rest of the world? If you knew much about Scottish history, you'd know that during the Highland Clearances, more than 2 and a half million Scots landed foot in every continent on the planet earth, and every single continent the Scots set foot in, they changed the world and the way folk see things. Things 300 years ago, people never saw as common sense, it's all thanks to the likes of David Hume that changed that.
If you knew the inspiration of the likes of David Hume, Adam Smith, Andrew Carnegie as well as Robert Burns and many other Scots, you'd realise that today, yes, today, in this modern world, you view the world through the eyes of a Scot without even realising it. That's what makes me laugh about people telling me I talk rubbish.
The Book 'The Scottish Enlightenment' was written by an American Author and of course an American Historian, his name is Arthur Herman, he has no Scottish blood and no Scottish heritage, like he stated in the book of course (his non biased book) people today without realising it view the world through the eyes of a Scot, the way you see things today, that you see as common sense is all thanks to people like David Hume, that's why! 300 years ago, people thought differently, it was the Scots that opened your eyes and educated the modern world. This is no less than a simple fact.
The Scots were the most intelligent, and of course when Bonnie Prince Charlie decided to create an army in the north to rebel against the English, what you had was Scots from the south who were against those of the north, Robert Burns born from Ayrshire, Scotland, born in southern parts, he was against the Jacobites, as his song goes, "Ye Jacobites by name, lend (give) and ear, lend an ear, Ye jacobites by name Lend an ear, Ye Jacobites by name, yer fauts (faults) I will proclaim, Ye jacobites by name, lend an ear.
Robert Burns was a believer of peace and unity, a believer that this world should live and peace and harmony and that we should all live as brothers the world over, which I have already rightly posted. When Battle of Culloden came along, the Scots fought for the Government side, another simple fact. Most of the Government forces that defeated the Jacobite army up north in Inverness at the Battle of Culloden were of course Scots themselves, another fact.
So after the Highland clearances and Scots who were enslaved to fight for Northern Ireland by King Billy (Prince William of Orange the Dutch King III) Scots were forced to leave behind the land and were sent off in boat loads, some never made it and had to resort to canniblism to survive. They arrived on the Eastern coast of America. They took with them their fighting and colonizing habits from Northern Ireland, they never felt comfortable without having at least moved twice, and with crops running dry, the hard working Scots were forced to fight and colonize the entire southern parts of America. You even had Scots from the North, which is why you have the name 'Nova Scotia', meaning 'New Scotland'.
The Scots were known by the American people as Presbyterians, or as they called them, 'Scotch-Irish,' as Arthur Herman, the American historian rightly stated, they were only Irish by Geography, they were Ulster Scots, Scots by birth who lived and fought for Northern Ireland. They were known as Hillbillies, Rednecks and Crackers. The name Hillbillies derived from the meaning of those Scots that lived in the mountains and were loyalist supporters of King Billy (Prince William of Orange the Dutch King the III). So much for rubbish eh?
Robert Burns a man who was far more influential than William Shakespear could shake a hand, a man who CAUSED the Presbyterian (Scottish) Reformation in America, which then caused the GREAT AWAKENING. If it wasn't for Robert Burns, there would have been no Great Awakening, thus there would have been no Independence. It is also a fact that 75% of the southern parts of America were Celtic blooded people and that Scots fought on both sides of the war. What you seem to miss out are these simple facts.
* More than half the colonial army that fought the American Revolutionary war, were Scottish Presbyterians and Calvanists, as most historians will tell you, it was not an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Rebellion.
Not only was more than half your army Scottish, you also seem to forget the little fact that Robert Burns himself, strongly influenced and caused the Great Awakening, the Presbyterian (Scottish) Reformation. Don't believe me? Research it yourself and you'll see why Robert Burns is the Greatest Scot that ever lived. Even Bob Dylan's main influence was Robert Burns, which makes me laugh, because earlier I seen people bumming off about bands. Yeah? Well we have Robert Burns, born in Ayrshire Scotland, that wrote the song 'Auld Lang Syne'. In case you didn't know, 'Lang' is Scottish for 'Long' and 'Auld' is Scottish for 'Old'.
So far I have not posted one ounce of rubbish in this entire post, it's all facts, not even a slightest opinion. Then again, I am educated of this subject matter. The other thing is, half the signers of the declaration of Independence were of course Scots, 61% of American Presidents were of Scots blood.
As President Woodrow Wilson once quoted saying, "Every line of strength in American history, is a line coloured with Scottish blood." Again, why is it that it's all Scottish blood, why not Italian, or German, or even Dutch, or whatever else? Was it such a coincidence, or is it the fact the Scots were intelligent. Even Neil Armstrong of the Armstrong clan of Scotland Americans bummed about him for 30 years!
* The solar powered engine was a Scottish Invention.
* Armstrong is a Scottish clan name.
* He apparently took Scottish plaid with him.
I bet you anything you never knew any of that. Oh and as for the stuff about World War II? it was a Scot who invented the Radar, in the eastern coast of England. If you knew much about Scottish history, you'll learn why HISTORIANS can't argue with Scotland being named, second only the Ancient Greeks. Oh but that's right, whilst you went to school, all you heard about was China, or let me guess, the Roman empire, that's it! LOL
The average American is that uneducated, they actually think England has achieved anywhere near as much as Scotland has in history, that'll prove my point of just how uneducated and how poor in need the country is of better education. If it wasn't for Scotland, where the hell would England be? The only thing they gave Scotland was global access to the market and gold, that's it! The biggest mistake they made, was lobbing our people off to America, for our people to then fight and rebel against it. None of that is rubbish, it's the truth.
If I sat here and told you a true saying, I bet you anything you have never heard of it before. It would not surprise me if you have never heard this one before, not because it's non existent, it's because the country you live in has poor education.
"The Brits may have ruled the earth, but the Scots populated it, the world was our oyster."
Scotland for a simple fact, you could take the worlds population of 7 billion people, and for all those who lost their lives in every war and battle that has ever set foot on this planet earth, think how many people that is. Scotland has saved more lives than it. Is that rubbish? No! That's just a simple fact, one not even English people would've even have known. I think Scotland already proved for a good few hundred years that we are very well educated people, after all, today you view the world through the eyes of how the Scots saw things. That's more truth you didn't even realise.
Oh and as for America, how often do you see the word 'nekkid' for 'Naked' being used? That isn't American slang by the way, that's Scottish dialect, just like how people down south from places like Texas say 'Yella' for 'Yellow', more Scottish dialect. I could run through a list of others and even these are stated in the book written by the American author and American historian. It's a good book and certainly not biased by any standards. The very fact he's also an historian and has studied Scottish history through self interest, it will speak volumes for itself.
It is not rubbish that the fact no country on this planet earth in the modern world has had a bigger impact on man kind than Scotland. That's why there is a saying:-
"Wha's like us? Damn Few an' their a' deid'"

"Who is like us? Damn few and they are all dead"
Meaning, no one alive today in this modern world are like us Scottish, and it is living proof by our history, but only those educated enough on Scottish history will know why. The smallest of simplest things in every day life that you take for granted is massively influenced by us Scots. Even your own attitude, your American attitude to rebel is largely of Scottish influence. The American Revolutionary war, was influenced by the Declaration of Arbroath, did you know that? And do you know what the Decleration of Arbroath is? The Independence of Scotland that William Wallace and Robert the Bruce fought for.
Despite all this, I will say this of course, to those Americans harping off how they are better than England, I suggest you take a good look at your own history, it dates back 200 years. Scotland and William Wallace fought for freedom against England in the 1300's. There are castles in England that still stand to this day that are more than 3 times the age of your country.
I must confess I haven’t read ALL of your latest round of incoherent Babble with regard to your version of a distinctly Scottish history that appears to involve no one else, but I didn’t expect any less from an over excitable zealot such as yourself.
For Start William Wallace was not as the Mel Gibson American propaganda ( an American who incidentally hates nearly as much as you do) a scruffy peasant highlander he was in fact a nobleman of quite high rank long before Stirling and Falkirk , which sort of explains everything to anybody who unlike yourself thinks rationally.
Next up Robert Bruce who basically murdered and betrayed he way to power like most kings which of course made him no better than Edward the 1st of England.
As for castles in Scotland in ancient times this is utter rubbish I would remind you of the fact of two walls built by the romans who were by all accounts civilised to keep out your hordes of semi if not totally illiterate ancestors.
You talk about most or even more arrogantly ALL historians are frightened into submission by your "truths" but having read history since I was five years old from AJP Taylor to David McCullough I have yet to find a single historian who agrees with any of your nonsense apart from the bit about the inventions by people of Scottish descent ( most of who got their ideas financed by English Bankers and investors because Scottish ones were so greedy and tight, in fact Id even go as far to say the most of them would not have seen the light of day without this English Finance.
Back to your castles which the Normans built ( who the last time I looked were Viking transplanted to France and then transplanted themselves to England and everywhere else on this little island of ours.
I could go on debunking your assertions till the cows come home but I have a feeling that such a armchair boring know all such as yourself would listen NO more than the average American Boring know all that thinks his county invented democracy and Britain was once a united states colony.
Yes, you must confess you haven't read anything of what I've said, because not once did I mention anything about William Wallace. We all know the true story of William Wallace, well at least some people do. You see, he was either born in a rich family in a richer town than what Braveheart made him out to be, it's called Elderslie, either Ayrshire or Glasgow. William Wallace's wife was murdered and taken from him, there is also the legend that he killed 5 Englishman in the one go when fishing and those bastards turned up. I own a DVD called William Wallace the True Story. I bought it from Wallace Monument just so you should know, so there's nothing you can educate me upon William Wallace. Robert the Bruce on the other hand, yes, he fought for whoever was winning the battles, it just so happened to be that when made King of Scotland, he lead Scotland on to victory and wasn't till later Scotland was declared independent. It took well over a good few years for that to happen.
You see, Robert the Bruce never met William Wallace, thus he was never a traitor to William Wallace, so that much of Braveheart was sheer and utter shite. If there's one thing that doesn't change and the whole point behind Braveheart, Scotland fighting for their freedom, Scotland winning their freedom from tyranny and of course William Wallace and Robert the Bruce both being fucking legends and heroes of our country. That does not change! Only in the eyes of an English bastard will they be spoken down upon, because they're too bitter to accept defeat to greater fighters, which is why the proud SAS are 95% Scottish and not English and you need to be good and fucking hard as nails to get into the SAS. And by the way, that isn't bullshit, that's a simple fact.
Fuckin Scot Tragoon Guards and the Blackwatch, BOTH Scottish, who was it that took over Basra in Iraq again? Ah! wasn't any English army anyhow, it was the Scot Tragoon Guards, THAT'S WHO!! So don't hurl your pish towards me, because I know certainly God damn fine well what am talking about.
Battle of Culloden, oh here we go, let me see shall we? most of the Government forces that defeated the Jacobite army, were of course Scottish. After the highland clearances, Scottish people defeated English on America's own patch of soil, so much for glorious England eh? never were good enough to fight us Scots! as one Englishman described the typical Scot in America, "he would not fear the devil if he stared him in the face" Something English people could never match us for, courage!!
You can call us Barbaric, you can call us all the shit you want, did those Romans that fought us for 400!!! years, 400 fucking years the Romans fought us for, but did Caledonia fall down?? NO!! unlike the whole of Europe that Romans walked all over, 400 years!!! they fought Scotland (Brave Caledonia) for, 400 years!! And SCOTLAND REIGNED FEARLESS AND FREE!!!!!!
That's more than what you English could ever say, the only claim of you conquering us was Culloden, which in real fact was a Scottish war, so in other words, Scotland has never been conquered in it's 10,000 year history. And you don't need to tell me about the Romans, the reason they never conquered Scotland is because they believed in conquering the entire land, but they never!
Totally illiterate Ancestors?? LOL have this for illiterate Ancestors arsehole!

SCOTLAND - The Land of the Greeks
Oh!! Oh!! you didn't know did you?? Oh!!! Oh!! uneducated are we?? So much for bloody illiterate eh?? Our Caledonians were a lot smarter than the English, that's why they stayed on their own land and didn't try to take other countries. You know there's one thing that has always stood true between the two countries. Scotland is not a selfish, self centred, arrogant nation. The Scottish Enlightenment is living proof of the inventions we shared the world over and what we GAVE the world. England? lol a country that in history has done nothing but try and take countries freedoms, from Ireland, to Wales, from Wales, to France, nothing but tyrant bastards! And to the person that shouted off about the Falkland Islands, you make me laugh, you needed Scotland to win that for you, just like you needed us to win the war against Spain when they invaded Britannia. You lot were so good at fighting,
a) The Russians called upon the best fighters, the Scots to fight for them against Turkey in war. Do your research, you'll see it rings true.
b) The Polish called upon the Scots to fight for them, and we done so and won.
c) Scotland fought for America's freedom and won against the English.
d) The Chilean Navy, lead by a Scot and founded by a Scot, later lead South America to Independence from their Spanish and Portuguese Colonies.
ALL OF THIS IS TRUE!! whether you like that or not! You can call us Barbaric, call us Barbarians, we'd rather be that, than a cup of tea drinking, tea bag fighting wee pussy that can't fight worth a fuck and needed Scotland to do it all for you!
Which is why
a) You needed Scots to fight for you against the Republic of Ireland for Norn Ireland's freedom
b) You needed us to win the war against Spain
So see that wee statue sitting in trafalgar square sitting high up. Stick it up your arsehole, because if it wasn't for Scotland, England would've been walked all over.
Oh mind you, the Romans already walked all over England, mean while, Scotland not only fought the Scandanavians and won, they fought the Romans 400 years, and still remained unconquered and free.
SCOTLAND THE BRAVE! You lot thought yous were wonderful enslaving our people off our land, the only thing you done was create the beast that is known today, the country that invented the modern world, SCOTLAND! and most of all, had your arses handed to you by SCOTLAND on America's own patch of soil!
Perhaps this may interest you.

Famous Quote: "If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to British tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." George Washington, Valley Forge.
When the Scots immigrated to America, they brought with them a great passion for liberty. Patrick Henry, of Scottish descent, so eloquently embraced this spirit for freedom in his famous quote, "Give me Liberty or Give me Death." In the American Revolution, more than half of the soldiers of the Colonial Army were Presbyterians and Calvinists, and many historians refer to the American Revolution as being 'a Scottish Rebellion,' or as one historian said, 'John Calvin was the virtual founder of America.'

So much for Engerrrrrland eh? A country that has achieved next to nothing in comparison to the Great Scotland. The United Kingdom of Scotland, Scotland by the way, incase you didn't realise, holds more power today over the United Kingdom than England does, this is indeed another simple little fact for you. Where would your country be without us? No where, living in cave man days.
Read history since you were 5 years old? You're talking shit, and this is proof why you are talking shit.
1) No God damn 5 year old ever learns or starts reading history from the age of 5, you start school learning your ABC's and learning to count to 10 at the age of 5, evidence you just spoke right out your wee ring bum hole.
2) Most historians will tell you themselves it was not an American rebellion it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Rebellion.
3) No historian on the planet earth could dare argue with what Sir Winston Churchill once quoted saying.
_________________________________________
That is how I know for a fact you are talking right out your fucking arse. You are so uneducated, you don't even realise that the reason the Great Awakening happened, was a presbyterian reformation. Presbyterians were Scottish you fool, it was Robert Burns that influenced it. Do you know what the Great Awakening was, a step and a very BIG step towards Independence.
The other point I'd like to make, this is posted straight from National Tartan Day USA

You read from when you were 5 years old? LOL did you fuck, care to explain the text stating that many historians refer to the American Revolution as being a 'Scottish Rebellion,' ?
Maybe that's because more than half the colonial army were scottish presbyterians and calvanists, that's why I get to sit here and laugh at what you just said.
__________________________________
And no, the Scots did not get their ideas from any Englishman, that's what you call typical English bastards, cannot see Green cheese without having a bit. Just like Andy Murray the tennis player, he's Scottish, not British! anytime anything Scotland achieves, it's BRITAIN that done it, according to England. Always were such a jealous nation of Scotland.
You telling me David Hume took his inspiration from English bankers? LOL what a laugh that is, just like how Adam Smith apparently took inspiration from those bankers, oh yes that's a right good one that is, isn't it? LOL
Robert Burns, yeah am sure with poems like Scot's Wha' hae (meaning scots who have) took inspiration from England?
England followed us, not the other way around.
Scotland educated England, not the other way around.
Scotland built the foundations of the modern world
The only thing England ever gave Scotland was global access to the market, that's it!!
I apologise over the castles You were refering to the United states of course. but the rest stands as a beacon of rational thought against a sea of revisionism proposed by amongst others yourself. lol
When the American Revolution broke out, at least in the Scotch-Irish version of the story, the Ulster natives leaped at the opportunity to attack the British crown. "Call this war by whatever name you may. . . ," observed one Hessian officer, "it is nothing more or less than a Scotch Irish Presbyterian rebellion." King George allegedly called the conflict "a Presbyterian war," and another official stated that cousin "America has run off with the Presbyterian parson." In spite of these comments, the actual Scotch-Irish population was a bit more divided in their loyalties than legend would have it, especially in the South. Still, the Scotch-Irish generally emerged from the Revolution with an enhanced local reputation. ( that’s the Ulster Lot, shit for brains)
(This is your lot)
The same could not be said for the Scots proper. Although famed poet Robert Burns once wrote an "Ode for General Washington’s Birthday," the Scots who had emigrated to Colonial America were seldom convinced by the patriots’ arguments. Many had fought against the Crown only thirty years previously, but when the Revolution broke out, the majority of Scots sided with Great Britain. Of this there is little dispute. In 1776 former Paisley cleric John Witherspoon, then president of the College of New Jersey and a staunch patriot, tried to change this point of view. He gave an address (later printed as a pamphlet) to the "Natives of Scotland residing in America" that noted: "It has given me no little uneasiness to hear the word Scotch used as a term of reproach in the American controversy." Virginian Thomas Jefferson included a condemnation of "Scotch and other foreign mercenaries" in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence, a phrase that Witherspoon discreetly helped remove. However, Jefferson continued to rail at the "Scotch Tories" for over two decades.
During the era of the Revolution, Americans often denounced the Scots. In his 1776 play, The Patriots, Virginia author Robert Mumford named characters "M’Flint," "M’Gripe," and "M’Squeeze." Local pressure either evicted Scots from certain regions (such as the Chesapeake) or forced them to return to Scotland on their own. Flora MacDonald, Scotland’s most famous heroine, left North Carolina for her native South Uist under these circumstances. Perhaps as many as five thousand Scots Tories later migrated to Canada due to their loyalty to the British crown. In the process they became the spiritual founders of Canada. In 1782 the lower house of Georgia passed a resolution declaring that the people of Scotland possessed "a decided inimicality to the Civil Liberties of America." Any Scot found in the region after three days would be "committed to Gaol."
Just because you lot in Scotland fail to in your endeavours to provide children’s history books for little "wee Scots" is not my fault you pillock.
3/. Without England and English common law you people would still be running around the highlands in shirts speaking Gaelic.
amongst the things not invented by bloody scots are as follows:
General: the industrial Revolution
Spinning jenny
The cavity magnetron ( no it wasn’t Watson watt)
John Harrison clock that solved the longitude problem
Isaac Newton Royal society and calculus
The computer
The cathode ray tube
Medical:
First mapping of Human circulation: William Harvey
Edward Jenner : vaccines most famous small pox
Charles Babbage was not a scot he was born in England as was Newcomam born and raised in Devon.
John Snow General Anaesthetics
Arnold Wilkins discovered radar and developed it with Watson watt so he didn’t invent it , why don’t you read a bit more)
Alan Turing broke the German enigma codes and invented with tommy flowers the first working computer .
Hovercraft
The Jet engine Frank Whittle
And many more.
Social and politics.
Robert peel: first police force
the underground
Brunel engineering Railway gauges and bridges and ships.
There’s hundreds of them to many to list.
Further without English money and sea going adventures like Drake Raleigh Cooke and people like Harrison there would have been no ENGLISH colonies in America or anywhere else and you lot would all be speaking Spanish and be Catholics instead of Calvinists as you also would have been if Bonnie prince (the Drunk) Stuart had won the at Culloden
Scotland got a hell of lot more out of the act of union and the later Empire than England ever did and you should be grateful for that instead of constantly grumping and moaning which is the hall mark of you scots.
England wasn’t the leader of the union for nothing, she didn’t just become that by chance it was because she was Relatively speaking more financially and politically stable more developed in social and political thought and organisation, and had more money from trade Magna carta and the glorious revolution happened in England NOT Scotland ( there is a reason for that.
That is why Nova Scotia which is populated by Acadian descendants of the French is not a Scottish colony and would have remained New France if not for William Pitt.
So even without your Scottish inventions ( most as I said before were financed and developed in England and by scots who were either born in England or came here in their early life ( just look it up) I think England would have done quite well on its own thanks
You also discount that fact over a 1000 year history in these islands that a lot were Scottish by name and descent only on their father’s side and lots had Anglo Saxon mums.
You people are like Africans always looking to blame someone or put others down to make yourself more credible and crying like babies because you think no one has realised how inventive and industrious you are. it must really pain you that the Yanks think England is the whole island.
Yes I know that Lowland scots fought on the side of the crown during the jacobite uprising, they were the ones with brains who rejected all that clan dark age nonsense practised by your country right up to the highland clearances and they were happy to kill other scots to get rid of that system and its warlords for good.
Have this for shit for brains. Arthur Herman, he's AMERICAN, he's an American AUTHOR and an American HISTORIAN, who has thoroughly studied Scottish history and of course would know a lot more about it than you do. You talk about the population which is quite laughable, why??

People of Celtic descent (Scots, Irish and Welsh) played a huge part in shaping the United States of America. Some say that Celtic American influence has wielded too much power. However this was not always so – there was a time when the Scottish Americans and fellow Celts were considered by the English elite as outcasts, with the native Indians and African slaves.
Some interesting facts*
*
Many Highland Scots – with names like Ross and Macdonald – became part and parcel of the Indian nations of the southeast. For generations the principal chiefs of the Creek were called either MacIntosh or McGillivray. However, it is a sad irony that the Native Americans also had no more bitter enemies than the Scots-Irish and lowland Scots.
*
Highland Jacobites were some of King George’s most loyal Americans. Even Flora Macdonald, saviour of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" turned loyalist when she immigrated to the Carolinas.
*
The great names of the western frontier – Davie Crockett, Jim Bowie, Daniel Boone, Jeremiah Johnston – were of Scots-Irish stock.
*
The Scots-Irish, the Lowland Scots and the Welsh were the backbone of George Washington’s army. The Scots almost exclusively fought one of the key battles in the War of Independence – on both sides.
*
Many of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence of 1776 were Welsh, Scots and Irish-Scots.
*
Those of Celtic descent played a significant role in expanding the boundaries of the USA. The Welsh largely built up America’s iron and steel industry.
*
The mass emigration of the (mainly) Catholic Irish during the potato famine in the early 19th century became one of the defining moments of American history.
*
Modern historians calculate that when the civil war broke out about 75% of the South’s population was Celtic. The Confederate flag was a transatlantic version of the saltires of St. Andrew and St. Patrick, celebrated as ‘the bonnie blue flag’.
*
The end of the civil war saw the manifestation of the most unpleasant Celtic institution, the Ku Klux Klan, and of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the forerunner to the IRA.
*
The economic plight of post-war USA presented big opportunities for Scots businessmen – investment trusts were set up which ploughed a huge amount of Scots money into railways, cattle ranches, mines, forestry and land.
*
The Scots-Irish provided the USA with an extraordinary number of presidents – Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter.
*
As well as providing fine politicians, inventors and businessmen, the darker side of the Celtic Americans was never far away. There was a revival in the Ku Klux Klan in 1915 and the Welsh, for some reason, proved adept urban gangsters.
*
In the 50 years between 1880 and 1930 around 760,000 Scots, Irish and Welsh immigrated to the USA. Those of Celtic descent continue to make a massive contribution to the USA, and more and more they like to express something of their culture – with Highland Games and St. Patrick’s Day parades popular across the country.
*
Today, there are more people of Celtic descent in North America than in all the European based Celtic countries put together.
__________________________________________
75% of America's south, a fact, an interesting fact, that 75% of America's south was populated of Celtic blooded people, and guess what? Because of the Highland Clearances, which I would know more than you do. The first Scots to land foot in America were in 1680, research that dip shit, then research how the Highlanders and Lowlanders later settled in America around 1717 after the Highland Clearances. The population in America's south of Scots was massive, why?? Because it was the Scots who fought and colonised the entire southern parts of America, that's why, but you of course don't understand that simple concept now, do you? Perhaps you simply missed out this simple little fact
__________________________________________
When the Scots immigrated to America, they brought with them a great passion for liberty. Patrick Henry, of Scottish descent, so eloquently embraced this spirit for freedom in his famous quote, "Give me Liberty or Give me Death." In the American Revolution, more than half of the soldiers of the Colonial Army were Presbyterians and Calvinists, and many historians refer to the American Revolution as being 'a Scottish Rebellion,' or as one historian said, 'John Calvin was the virtual founder of America.'
__________________________________________
Are you simply that fucking blind you stupid, illiterate, thick, English bastard. It says it right there. 'In the American Revolution, more than half of the soldiers of the Colonial Army were Presbyterians and Calvinists, and many historians refer to the American Revolution as being 'a Scottish Rebellion,' are you seriously that stupid you can't seem to read that little fact? Those presbyterians and Calvanists were not English, nor were they American. They made up more than half the army.
Here's another fact for you, Robert Burns influenced the Presbyterian Reformation which in turn CAUSED the Great Awakening and in case you didn't know since you are so fucking blind
_______________________________________________
* More than 100 governors of pre- and post- Revolutionary America were of Scottish birth or descent.
- 9 of the signatures on the Declaration of Independence were from Scots descent.
- 9 of the 13 colony governors made in the new USA were Scots.
________________________________________________
Is it really that difficult for you to see that 9 of the signatures of the Decleration of Independence were of Scots descent as well? Not only that, THAT WAS HALF OF THE SIGNATURES, that's why you're so bloody thick. The other point that just proved why you're so illiterate is that more than half the colonial army were Scots Presbyterians and Calvanists that made up the American army.
You also missed out this very fact!! -
The Scots-Irish, the Lowland Scots and the Welsh were the backbone of George Washington’s army. The Scots almost exclusively fought one of the key battles in the War of Independence – on both sides.
What you cannot stand is that most historians themselves will tell you it was not an American rebellion but a Scottish Presbyterian rebellion, typical, bitter faced, jealous english bastard, that cannot take the fact, your country, surrendered to the feet of Scots after the Battle of Culloden, we basically handed yous your fucking arses and you cannot take it. Typical fucking english bastard. What has your country achieved? Let me answer that for you, NOTHING but fucking tyranny and it backfired, yes?? YES!!
How else you think their educational establishments were formed in America??? BECAUSE OF SCOTS
How do you like both these FACTS.
______________________________________
Education
The Scottish emigrants of the 18th Century were an educated group due to the Scottish Reformation, which had stressed the need for education, allowing every Scot the ability to read the bible. Education has always played an important part in Scottish society, and these Scots played a crucial role in the early development of the New World. Most headmasters of the schools in the new colonies south of New York were Scottish or have Scottish ancestry. These establishments were fundamental in the education of America's future leaders; both Thomas Jefferson's and John Rutledge's tutors were Scottish immigrants.
Scots arriving in the New World soon established universities, colleges and other educational establishments such as Princeton University, which was initially named the College of New Jersey, when founded in 1746.
Medicine
During the mid-17th Century Scottish medical establishments were second to none in the fields of education and science. Many recipients of these teachings came to America, where their influence can be seen to this day. Many Americans traveled to Scotland to gain an education in medicine. In 1775 there were 3,500 people practicing medicine in the US, though only 350 or 400 actually held a medical degree.
Most of those holding degrees had been educated in Scotland.
The Scots greatest contribution to American medicine was the belief that it was not simply the body but the mind that must be healed. Drawing upon their knowledge of philosophy and the humanities they expounded the need to be humane when treating patients. Scots were crucial in establishing separate medical teaching institutions; previously all medical education had been taught within the confines of medical establishments.

No so much of a smug English bastard now are we?? Something that falls typical of English stupidity, they all sit there acting smart and acting like they fucking know it all, when all of a sudden, facts smack them in the face and don't know how to take it. How does that feel with your smug English shite? Hmmmm?
Who the fuck you think gave them their Colleges, Schools and Universities, it wasn't English, it wasn't Irish, It wasn't German, no but you're too thick to see that. You are too thick to understand that SCOTLAND the world leader of medicine and education, were the ones that not only made up half of their colonial army, not only was the Presbyterian REFORMATION because of Robert Burns, it's too much for you to handle, that not only were 9 of the signers (that's half of them) of Scots descent, you also cannot take it that we were the ones that gave them all that. And you know what, after giving them that, it spread around the fuckign world? HOW does that feel in your little OXFORD UNIVERSITY, most likely fucking built BY a fucking Scot. Even your own "LUNDIN" that's right 'LUNDIN' Bridge was built by a fucking Scot.
What makes me cringe to you pal is the pish you posted to me is clearly false, for the simple FACT, more than half the colonial army were made up of Presbyterians and Calvanists. That's what makes me laugh, you also turn a blind eye on the FACT most historians will tell you themselves it was not an American rebellion, but no less than and no more than a Scottish Presbyterian Rebellion.
And laugh my fucking arse off at you trying to down the very fact that the Presbyterian Reformation happened because of Robert Burns, this is simply laughable for the simple reason, I could've even have told you that Scots fought on both sides of the war. It goes to show your little argument has fell flat right on it's fucking arse. It's a simple fact that more than half the colonial army were made up of Presbyterians and Calvanists, that's why you're so stupid to argue with it.
We invented Novels you daft bastard, you stupid English cunt. We INVENTED Novels. Are you that fucking stupid? Your country lives off SCOTTISH innovation, so much for failing eh? We failed so much we became second only to the Ancient Greeks, oh how we failed! You reading history books at the age of 5? Clearly not pal, how can you tell this? Because you completely ignored the facts I posted towards you. For example, Robert Burns was the main influence behind the presbyterian reformation, that's how the Great Awakening happened, that's how America became fucking Independent, because of Robert Burns, you stupid illiterate English bastard. Are you seriously that fucking stupid to argue with that??? No doubt you would be though, I wouldn't put it past you, because you are ENGLISH, just like the time ENGLAND tried to claim KING ARTHUR, if real, was fucking English, Oh FUCKING really???? King Arthur English?? OOOOh fucking REALLY???
***********************************
12. Historians agree that whatever Arthur was, Welsh, Cornish, Scottish, he most certainly was not English. His fame was in fighting against the Angles and the Saxon invaders of ancient Britain.
***********************************
English people always were thick and very, VERY bitter people, can't see Green Cheese without having a bit, which is why you cannot accept the very fact that historians themselves will call it a Scottish Rebellion, hmmmm? A wonder why? Even although they are all facts and historians themselves will tell you that, you decide to post up something in a sad attempt that doesn't disprove it at all. In fact the information you posted fell flat on it's arse for the simple fact, what I posted comes from what historians will tell you, yours is just a load of shite with no facts in them at all. For example, the population of Scots??? Since when was it only Ulster Scots?? LOL I could even slap you with the year they landed foot in America, 1680, you couldn't do that if you fucking tried.
I think what would piss you off the most is that from what I've posted comes from historians. And what will further piss you off is that they are all facts.
1) How important was the Great Awakening to America's Independence?
2) Who were the Presbyterians?
3) Who Influenced the Presbyterian Reformation.
If you cannot answer those 3 questions and work it out for yourself, then that'll speak volumes for itself really, won't it? Yes it would. I could also post you a song, 'When Guildford Good, A Pilot Stood' which goes along the lines of what you were posting above, which shows what you posted, was utterly pointless and does not disprove the very fact, he was the main man that influenced that Presbyterian Reformation.
I think what also makes me laugh is your sad attempt at posting inventions, why?? We Invented your modern world, we invented that many things if you dropped a pin in a hay stick you'd never find it. Why else you think we ended up second only to the Ancient Greeks. You then banged off about medicine? LOL Scotland world leaders of medicine, that many inventions and discoveries in that field, you'd not believe your fucking eyes, you may as well name hospitals after places in Scotland. I mean take this for example, laser eye surgery to the fucking x-ray machine, both Scottish Innovation, and that's not even touching the tip of the iceberg. So that was utterly pointless.
And I can read
Radar Defense System
Physicist, Sir Robert Watson-Watt, was the mind behind the radar network on the coast of England that detected incoming German aircraft in World War II. He had worked on the radio detection of thunderstorms (hazardous to aviators) during World War I. In 1935 he proposed a method for locating aircraft by a radio-pulse technique. The radar system was invaluable to the defense of Britain during the Battle of Britain in 1940. It operated day and night over a range of 40 miles, giving the Royal Air Force information about the height and bearing of German planes.
___________________________________
It's a bit like arguing who invented the Macadamized road system, we all know who invented the Radar, being English though, you will argue it till blue in the face that it wasn't Sir Robert Watson-Watt, there's no surprise, you're English, the bitterness trips from your face.
As for us lot speaking Spanish?? Are you thick? Scotland won you the war against Spain ya daft cunt when they invaded Britain, what a stupid bastard. You needed Scotland to fight for you, you needed Scotland to save your fucking arse! So that right away was a lot of shite. But if you want real information about your so called fucking money
Scotland Invented the paper money, he's called John Law, born in Scotland. You also forget that Scotland invented Branch banking and most of all, INVENTED THE BANK OF ENGLAND LOL laugh my fucking arse off!! that's right, we FOUNDED your bank of England. Why not learn about guys like Adam Smith, it might fucking help or John Law, or David Hume, you'll see you view the world through the bloody eyes of a fucking Scot.

Now it's time for you to kiss Scotland's Arse, with this very information, facts that will be too hard for you to even fucking swallow. And that is saying something, you lot are used to swallowing.

"For this was the culturally and materially backward nation that forward-thinking Scotsmen worked to change. In doing so, they would also change the world. Before the eighteenth century was over, Scotland would generate the basic institutions, ideas, attitudes and habits of mind that characterise the modern age. Scotland and the Scots would go on to blaze a trail across the global landscape in both a literal and a figurative sense, and open a new era in human history. In fact, the very notion of 'human history' is itself, as we shall see, a largely Scottish invention."
~Arthur Herman
"I AM NOT A SCOT, or even of Scottish descent. I suppose that is a rash admission, given the theme for this book. But certainly no one can say my interest in the Scots or Scottish culture is a matter of ethnic chauvinism or genealogical obsession. In fact, the point of this book is that being Scottish turns out to be more than just a matter of nationality or place of origin or clan or even culture. It is also a state of mind, a way of viewing the world and our place in it. It is a self-consciously modern view, so deeply rooted in the assumptions and institutions that govern our lives today that we often miss its significance, not to mention its origins. From this point of view, a large part of the world turns out to be 'Scottish' without knowing it. It is time to let the rest of the world in on the secret Scots have known for a long time: that without Scotland, to paraphrase Andrew Carnegie, the modern world would be a very poor show."
~ Arthur Herman

So why don't you stick, your Scottish country called England and shove it up your fucking arse. Because not only do you view the world through the fucking eyes of a Scot, you live off our inventions. Again and again and again you will avoid the very fact that I have posted fucking facts to you everywhere, even although historians will tell you themselves, you're stupid and jealous enough to argue against them. What a joke you are.
In additional answer to your rants I never stated the The Bruce betrayed wallace he betrayed (murdered in secret) his rival to the crown of Scotand by luring him to a meeting under the pretext of a compromise
This is just slander against England, I love internet racism because the people who are behind it are often cowards. On the matter of Victoria Beckham, nobody cares about her anyway.
We don't need a law banning child porn because only sick perverted freaks watch it...you seem to be quite 'educated' in the matter.
Finally Winston Churchill may have been an alcoholic but he was a British icon who got us through the war which you didn't join until the Japanese took it to you!!! Then you made thousands of lives a living nightmare with two atomic bombs.
Ah well I think this rant has gone on too long...maybe it hasn't...good lord I'm thinking outloud in a rant...lol
To simplify and prove your stupidity briefly.
FACT NUMBER 1
Most historians themselves will tell you it was no less than and no more than a Scottish Presbyterian Rebellion, more than half the colonial army were Presbyterians and Calvanists.
FACT NUMBER 2
Presbyterians were Scottish People and no less than Scottish People, they weren't just Ulsterman, they were also Highlanders and Lowlanders, that later settled over from Scotland from the Highland Clearances.
FACT NUMBER 3
75% of America's south were Celtic blooded people when the war broke out.
FACT NUMBER 4
It is widely regarded as a Scottish Invention the Radar, and that we are second only to the Ancient Greeks for a simple reason, we invented your modern world you live in today.
FACT NUMBER 5
The only thing England gave us, was global access to the market, that's it, that's all they gave.
FACT NUMBER 6
Spain invaded England, and who was it that stepped in and defeated them? SCOTLAND, so take your wee fucking Trafalgar Square Statue sitting high, and shove that up your wee bum hole, not only did we defeat the Spanish on British soil, the Chilean Navy was founded and lead by a Scot, that freed South America of their colonising.
FACT NUMBER 7
All of the stuff can be backed up from historians, and despite the very fact I have posted facts, you swerved around them with what? Inaccurate information. The very fact historians tell you themselves, will prove just how stupid and bitter you would be to argue with it.
FACT NUMBER 8
The Greatest fact of them all, Sir Winston Churchill once quoted saying, "Off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind" The fact historians and no historian on the planet earth could dare argue with what he once said, makes me look down on England and cringe. Mind you that is of course what we are doing right now, looking down on you lol
If you look at my post you dickhead I never once said that scots were not inventive or that they were involved in any of England’s troubles ( practically all of them in fact 2nd only to the Irish who never invented anything) but you are too stuck up your own indoctrinated arse to believe anything that questions your world view .
I could just say that ok ALL you say is correct so more fool you stupid bastards for letting England occupy you for hundreds of years , run your lives and steal your inventions LOL what a bunch of lame bag pipe blowing lazy fools.
BUT I don’t because it simple isn’t true .
You assert that without England you would have gone on to be the principle nation in these islands perhaps the whole of Britain would have become known as Scotland, if it had and there had never been an England for a start there would never have been a Henry 8th, or an Elizabeth even those two small changes would have wreaked havoc in Scotland.
No Henry, no protestant introduction and no Elizabeth no resistance against Spanish power in Europe and America
in both these reigns your nation was allied with Spain so being Catholics you would have ended up just like every other Catholic country in the world a Backward backwater with very little scientific progress, like Eire or Poland or Brazil and even Spain itself indeed most of south America , Calvin would never have happened .
Your Stuart Monarchs were imposed on England and were the worst kings these Islands ever had one started a civil war and his vain secret catholic son Charles 2nd tried to make England catholic again so much for Scottish enlightenment and visionary progress he had to be kicked out of the country and a fucking Dutchman and a whole string of Germans installed as a result your kings like your nation are a fucking Celtic pest.
, you were a pest to the Romans, a pest to England and you all over the centuries have fled down here to escape other Scotsman and become amongst other things inventors and politicians and these are the good ones that wanted to escape your green and hilly but barren ( no one wants to live there land)
Andrew Carnegie was indeed a Scotsman and I for one admire him not because he was a scot but because he would not allow his family to bask in inherited wealth to me that was his greatest legacy.
He made his Fortune in America not Scotland
of the 56 signatories to the Declaration of independence only nine were of Scottish descent ( so raed a bit more arsehole)
Arthur Herman is not a well-respected historian and is a known revisionist you know about revisionist don’t you those people who try to convince us in the west that Islam or Africans were the first to invent everything.
You know as well as I do that it was English common law and its institutions that were exported to Scotland that gave rise to the mercantile thoughts of Adam Smith wealth of nations etc. .
Watson |Watt whatever you like to believe worked with John Wilkins who proposed the possibility of a early warning radio system this is easy to research even for you that is if you can stand to read anything which questions your world view.
whatever you say about English people being thick etc. is ok because we for the entire duration of the union have had all the power , the money the prestige and the glory , whenever a foreign nation sees a union jack they always ask if they are English.
No one gives a monkeys arse about Scotland and never has except perhaps for Donald Trump who wants to evict some poor Scottish farmer off his land so he can build a golf course in honour of his Scottish mother nice people these Yanks of Scottish descent who knows if he succeeds and you get your fucking independence as everybody in England would love you to have you may end up a small airbase called the USS scotia
I not going to argue with you anymore not because you are right you are not but frankly I have better things to do with my time and if I carried on producing Proper facts forever with a person such as yourself you would still fail to invent yourself a real brain .
one last thing people who write history or historians are always in conflict with one another over the truth of everybody’s and anybody’s history that is the nature of history, because historians are human and are subject to nationalistic jingoism like yourself , this blinds them to the truth , I have known this a long time and always read at least five books on a period by different authors from different backgrounds and nations before i jump to conclusions.
So NO, historians can be wrong and yes you are a arm chair reactionary because you have read two or three and think you were there, sad!!!!
I posted facts is what I done, and you questioned those facts, you questioned basically what even historians would tell you, which is quite laughable in it's own right.
You for a start banged off about Scots population in America lol more than half their colonial army were Scots Presbyterians and Calvanists.
Is this a complete joke or what? You think I don't know anything about Protestants? The reason Scotland moved forward is nothing at all to do with England, but you don't understand this, the reason Scotland moved forward in the modern world and were forwards thinking was because of the Scots like John Knox, who was born in the 1500's. What you just claimed was nothing short of rubbish, why is this? Because despite what religion, it'd never change how intelligent the Scots were. I don't think Robert Burns needed any religion to write what was on his mind.
We all know Catholicism would've never have taken anyone anywhere, but you know what? Scotland has John Knox to thank for that, not England.
So much for a Scottish Enlightenment, that's a very stupid thing to say, considering we're 2nd only to the Ancient Greeks. If you want to bang off about Scotland's Kings back then, not even Robert Burns agreed with how the Government and lords were of those times back 300 years ago etc.
I'm sorry but that last part is the most false piece of crap I have ever read in my life. No one wants to live in Glasgow city, the Greatest (crowned in London) top city of the United Kingdom? At one point the tourist rate in Glasgow was higher than both London. The other point is, the most beautiful places in England, which by the way is the Lake District, doesn't even remotely compare to the likes of Scotland's average scenery, never mind Scotland's BEST scenery. I had to laugh at BBC's biased attempt to compare the Lake District to anywhere in Scotland, it really is quite laughable, because whilst I've been to Loch Lomond and been on Loch Ness, and been to the Lake District, there is no comparison.
To the other point you made about Scots going down south? That's funny, over recent years, all I've been seeing is English people fleeing up here. We weren't a pest to the Romans at all, we were just Barbaric, we were people who stayed on our own land. Like Robert Burns wrote
_________________________________________
I.
There was once a day--but old Time then was young--
That brave Caledonia, the chief of her line,
From some of your northern deities sprung,
(Who knows not that brave Caledonia's divine?)
From Tweed to the Orcades was her domain,
To hunt, or to pasture, or do what she would:
Her heav'nly relations there fixed her reign,
And pledg'd her their godheads to warrant it good.
II.
A lambkin in peace, but a lion in war,
The pride of her kindred the heroine grew;
Her grandsire, old Odin, triumphantly swore
"Whoe'er shall provoke thee, th' encounter shall rue!"
With tillage or pasture at times she would sport,
To feed her fair flocks by her green rustling corn;
But chiefly the woods were her fav'rite resort,
Her darling amusement, the hounds and the horn.
III.
Long quiet she reign'd; till thitherward steers
A flight of bold eagles from Adria's strand:
Repeated, successive, for many long years,
They darken'd the air, and they plunder'd the land:
Their pounces were murder, and terror their cry,
They'd conquer'd and ruin'd a world beside;
She took to her hills, and her arrows let fly--
The daring invaders they fled or they died.
IV.
The fell harpy-raven took wing from the north,
The scourge of the seas, and the dread of the shore;
The wild Scandinavian boar issu'd forth
To wanton in carnage, and wallow in gore;
O'er countries and kingdoms their fury prevail'd,
No arts could appease them, no arms could repel;
But brave Caledonia in vain they assail'd,
As Largs well can witness, and Loncartie tell.
V.
The Cameleon-savage disturbed her repose,
With tumult, disquiet, rebellion, and strife;
Provok'd beyond bearing, at last she arose,
And robb'd him at once of his hope and his life:
The Anglian lion, the terror of France,
Oft prowling, ensanguin'd the Tweed's silver flood:
But, taught by the bright Caledonian lance,
He learned to fear in his own native wood.
VI.
Thus bold, independent, unconquer'd, and free,
Her bright course of glory for ever shall run:
For brave Caledonia immortal must be;
I'll prove it from Euclid as clear as the sun:
Rectangle-triangle, the figure we'll choose,
The upright is Chance, and old Time is the base;
But brave Caledonia's the hypothenuse;
Then ergo, she'll match them, and match them always.
__________________________________
You see what you fail to understand The Anglian lion, the terror of France, Oft prowling, ensanguin'd the Tweed's silver flood:
But, taught by the bright Caledonian lance, He learned to fear in his own native wood.
That's right, but taught by the bright Caledonian lance, he learned to fear in his own native wood. In other words, he didn't pull a greedy Roman or Anglian lion, and try and attempt tyranny across the world. He learned to fear in his own land, and fight in his own land, and instead of taking, the Scots gave the world, unlike the Romans.
What do the Romans, English and Americans all have in common, I'll tell you what. The Roman Empire was an arrogant empire that crashed to the ground, because they believed they could never be touched, the Barbarians went right in and slaughtered them. The British Empire, (England) fell flat on it's arse, same reasons, tyrant bastards who didn't know how to keep to their own land, so instead, they try to take others freedom, greed and power, which is the opposite to the proud land of Caledonia, the proud land of Scotland, the land that gave the world freedom.
As the true saying goes, the Brits may have ruled the earth, but the Scots populated the world, the world was our oyster, and you know what? It proves something doesn't it? It's similar to how America's power has been of recent, they were too arrogant to see past their nation, along comes 2 planes and their BANKERS fucked them over. That's what greed and power causes.
Whilst Scotland didn't need to try and take other countries freedom and achieve all of that through money, greed and power, Scotland achieved being top through history by being an intelligent, caring, loving, friendly, giving nation, that is saw the world over and respected for the people we are, unlike England. So your statement is bullshit about how people would rather go to England, would they fuck. The only reason people choose London first is because they don't know any better and are brain washed by your stupid media, when in real fact GLASGOW city, is a better city.
Who gives a shit where he made his LEGACY, you forget the simple fact he's Scottish. Just like the very fact if you look through so many American inventors, coincidently, they all have Scottish blood, oh what a big fucking surprise that is, just look up the name Thomas Alva Edison, a typical American-Scot.
English gave thoughts to Adam Smith and your claims of Arthur Herman, what I find funny about your so called claims is that, Arthur Herman isn't the only historian out there who is so called claiming this information. So what you've just said is a shower of shite. You still don't get it do you? Half the signers of the decleration of independence were of Scots blood. And more than half made up the colonial army. Those are both facts, marked right in Scottish Trivia, so your claims again just fell flat on it's arse.
Adam Smith never took anything from England, this is again can't see green cheese without having a bit, he didn't even need fucking England to do what he had done. So that was again, more bullshit. English common law, that's laughable! Like I so mentioned, the only thing you gave Scotland was global access to the market.
No, I don't question that, he's a recognised inventor of the Radar, so what's your point about him? It's pointless, it wouldn't matter what you threw at me, he still invented it.
Why don't you go look up the Macadamised Road system, after all, John MacAdam invented that, later patented by an Englishmman to add tar. Typical.
OH!!! England has all the power now does it? Well you don't live in the same United Kingdom then pal, why?? Because I know fucking politically you idiot, that Scotland today, holds more power over the United Kingdom than England does, and that is a simple little fact for you, that IS a fact. We gained that power because of intelligence. And being a Scot does not mean to say i agree with my own government and political power by any standards, because I quite simply do not! But when you talk about power, care to explain why you don't pay tuition fees to go to University in Scotland, yet in England you do?? You obviously don't realise or are too blind to see the Scots have already fucked you over in parliament backwards.
Scotland is not an Independent nation through choice, because our people do not trust our own government. For years they voted Labour, and at the end of the day, I don't trust any power. But what you need to understand is this one simple little fact. Not one country rules Britannia, not England, not Scotland, not Wales. But Scotland does hold more power over the UK than England does, that is a fact whether you like that or not. So much for power and MONEY!! yes, that's right.
You the typical Englishman, withdraw your money out from ATM Machines, invented by a Scotsman. You get your paper money, Invented by a Scotsman, John Law, you get in your bloody car and drive down a tarmac road, invented by John MacAdam.
So much for power eh? You live and view the world through the eyes of a bloody Scot.
As for people like the Americans mistaking the Union jack for English? Who cares? At the end of the day, what the hell have you achieved in comparison to Scotland? I'll answer that one for you, fuck all. Absolute fuck all in history, you always were a minor nation.
You were second best to us on the battle field.
You were always second best in literacy
You know, the only thing you became better than Scotland at, was sports, bar maybe snooker, rally or perhaps curling pish. that's it.
And yes, no one cares about Glasgow, the Greatest, top city in the whole of the United Kingdom, probably the most friendliest city in the world and living proof and evidence can back that up. You on the other hand bloody couldn't. You're too blind and stupid to understand that not one city in England compares to Glasgow. Where is Glasgow again? UK's number 1 city? Ah! that's right, right in the heart of Scotland. A country with superior history, superior scenery, and far friendlier, nicer people.
Yes, I'm sure foreigners would rather go to England, a racist nation, a country full of ignorance. A country that when you need some place to stay, they tell you to pitch your tent outside next to a fucking motorway. Oh what a fucking nice country England really is! NOT!!!!
Sorry but everything I posted were facts and you tried to argue with them, so that goes to show just how stupid you are. Like the fact MOST HISTORIANS will tell you it was not an American rebellion, it was no less than and no more than a Scottish rebellion. The FACT most historians will tell you that themselves, and you tried arguing with it, shows how bloody thick you are. What a typical English fool!
Always were bitter of Scotland and it's achievements. And most of all, tried to take Scotland's freedom, ALBA GU BRATH!! you failed miserably. Even when it came to Battle of Culloden, it was largely a Scottish war, and even at that, you then tried to defeat us on America's soil, you failed, just like the Decleration of Arbroath.
You see what you don't understand is one simple fact, The American Revolutionary war was largely influenced from the Decleration of Arbroath, that's why am laughing at you. Because Scotland not only handed you your arses in Scotland, they done it again in America LOL it was like living the battle of Bannockburn all over again LOL
And no, I haven't read sources from two books, get this through your head. MOST HISTORIANS, will tell you that. That means most historians across the planet earth, including your own English historians you fool LOL
Ohh OK one last time then after all Im trapped by the snow.LOL
If you really believe that crap I will ask you this: ( the timeline is not in order of event because I am writing from my enormous historical memory)
Why did Scotland not invade England and take over after all us English are thick and can’t fight.
Why were English Soldiers better disciplined and better dressed in proper uniforms like a proper modern army. ( and were even in the 12th century)
Why was the new model Army not invented in Scotland? And why did Cromwell’s invention beat you every time?
Why were the only Scottish Kings that the United Kingdom ever had a complete bunch of pro Catholic bastards that needed to be ousted in order for both Scotland and England to progress towards a more enlightened form of government?
Why the bill of rights was NOT a Scottish document also why was Magna Carta not signed by Scottish Barons at Sterling instead of English Barons at Runnymede?
Why did Edward 1st find it so easy to conquer your backward Scottish clan system?
Why did Edward find it so easy to bribe your greedy traitor barons into betraying William Wallace and Murray?
Why was it an English Army under a Welsh descended King Henry 5th who conquered half of France and won the battle of Agincourt in the rain with only half the number of the French Army.( shouldn’t they have been Scottish)?
Why did the Idea of individual rights as enshrined in English common take hold in England and not in Scotland and why was it not called Scottish common law ( even today your law is “different”) but the essential point is why did these things not take hold earlier in your Nation as opposed to England.?
Why did the English built ships at Chatham and Greenwich which were superior to Spanish ships that repulsed the Spanish Armada, why did the Scots not become a seafaring nation of explorers in the same numbers as the English, why also were the ships not invented by Scots and built in Scotland ( after all we all live on the same Island) .
Why was the only Scottish financed expedition to establish a colony in America a complete shambles and a failure, England’s failed too at first but England didn’t give up , your Nation did , Why? if you’re Nation is so superior?
Why were there a total of thirteen English Colonies in America , why were they not Scottish colonies after all a scot invented the bank of England was he a traitor too?? Why didn’t he the the idea to Scotland first and make a Bank of Scotland as the first national bank in the world??
Why did the industrial revolution kick off only in England first ( the first glimpse of modernity in all the big wide world) why was it not Scotland after all you had Adam Smith he should have pointed your nation in the right direction , forget the act of union there was nothing to say where anything in the UK had to begin? Why did it start in England and spread to Scotland shouldn’t have been the other way around?
Why did the union jack have the st Andrews cross behind the George cross shouldn’t it have been on top if you were the first and most important nation in these islands?
Why was Harrison who solved the longitude problem which changed the world for all Nations at sea and saved the lives of thousands of sailors, yes Scottish sailors too, why was he not a scot?
Why did the Jacobites under Bonnie prince drunkard and his hordes of shirts and illiterate highland freaks (What were you saying about scots being better educated) not continue on to London when it was completely undefended (bitching among yourselves again no doubt instead of searching for proper intelligence)?
Why did the lowland Scots side with a King of German descent to fight against one of Scottish descent? Where they traitors too? If so you have a great many traitors I your nation as there was about 50% scots in the Monmouth’s Army?
Why was Frank Whittle not a scot he invented a Jet engine which has made the world smaller than anyone could ever imagine?
Why was the Spitfire not a Scottish design that saved this country along with Chapman’s Hurricane that saved this country ALL of it from Nazi domination and your cities from being bombed if the Germans had succeeded in occupying England?
Why were all the inventors of English descent that I have listed in others posts NOT Scottish after all they were English thick and uneducated like the above and of course Snow, Harvey, Newton, Hargreaves ( lets not list them all shall we I don’t want to inflict too much pain on your wee person)
Why do you all speak English and stole our language why don’t you speak your own after all who wants to speak the tongue of a stupid daft educated nation? Who has spead its daft lingo all over the world to every corner of the globe , there is no major city on Earth that you cannot find loads of people who speak English why is it not Gaelic?
Why was the inventor of the Computer not a scot, this is the thing you are using now to write your propaganda and spread your brand of Scottish antagonism all over the world gee thanks England.
Why was William Wilberforce not a scot he banned slavery around 47% of all GB slaves ships were run by Scottish merchants?
Why was /is the City of London the financial capital of the world and NOT Glasgee wow even Adam Smith who hated Oxford and thought English colleges stiffed and authorative predicted England becoming the workshop of the world , which of course it did
Why did Scotland not become the workshop of the world?
In your posts you let out a few Freudian slips in that you mentioned that someone from Scotland who had come to England was told when he was cold and lacked shelter to sleep outside in th cold and rain !
I think that person was you and that you have based your whole life since in hatred of the English over this one guy who probably wasn’t even English judging by the number of immigrants we have in these islands these days, perhaps he/you should have tried a few more doors???
Oh by the way my excitable scottish friend
Edison was in fact the son of Sam Edison ( edison is a virking cast name meaning son of odin) odinson which is anglozised to Ed-in-son) and Mary Elliot of (Elliott is a Hebrew name meaning my god is the lord)
Plus Edison himself considered himself to be of Dutch ancestry.
So the evidence suggests that he was in fact of Dutch desent
But no matter it makes little difference to my world view if you want to believe hat he was Scottish LOLLOLLOL
English are thick, that's why you're English and sitting arguing against cold hard, stone cold facts printed not only all over Scottish history books and thousands of them, it's stated by most historians, yet you prove how stupid you are by trying to go against facts I've posted. Here's a simple fact you can't ram through your thick head. Most of the colonial ARMY that fought the English were fucking Scottish. Is that so hard to fucking understand?
Here's another fact, Robert Burns was the main influence behind the Presbyterian SCOTTISH reformation, which in turn, caused the Great Awakening, without the Great Awakening, there would've been no freedom. Here's another fact, the main influence that came from the American Revolutionary War was the Decleration of Arbroath (Independence of Scotland). So yes, you are pretty much stupid for trying to argue against those facts, you were even thick enough to sit there and tell me America's population of Scots was rather low, what a shower of hum dinging fucking shite. Who the hell told you that? Certainly wasn't most historians, that's for sure, because most historians will tell you otherwise. It's actually because, you are the one posting false crap, for example, you were reading history books from the age of 5! I'll give you one thing pal, you're a typical Englishman, unlike a true Scotsman, you don't know how to be honest, your dishonesty rings a bell to many arseholes south of the border, all mouth no fucking action.
As for fighting, oh yes, you were some fighters yous were, why's this:-
2,000 Scotsman and a William Wallace slaughtered and defeated the 10,000 English knights army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, own fucking fault for crossing a bridge that couldn't take the fucking weight. That's how stupid the English are! You had your arses handed to you in the Battle of Bannockburn, for a country whos population dwarved Scotland even then, you had your fucking arses handed to yous. You know the only reason Scotland NEVER claimed the crown when they got to the south of London, was simply because your KING DIED! which meant it was no longer worth taking. Even when it came to the Battle of Culloden, you needed Scots to fight for you! you bloody needed Scots to defeat the Jacobite army. After all, most of the Government forces WERE Scottish! What main important BATTLE have you won against Scotland? Nothing!
All those battles England won against Scotland equates to one battle, Scotland fighting for it's freedom, and they WON their freedom, that equates to one battle, that's what Scotland fought for and WON it! What you don't understand is, King James of Scotland was a King that believed in peace and unity, which is why there became the United Kingdom, he was the king first aer to the throne of the United Kingdom, but it wasn't long till the traitors started showing their true colours, the ENGLISH BASTARDS! And you know what? Even then they failed, why? Because they lobbed our Scots off to America and we fucked them in America's own fucking patch and soil ALBA GU BRATH!!
You know what Alba Gu Brath stands for? Scotland Forever, or Forever Scotland, because we WILL be forever Scotland
____________________________________________
Decleration of Arbroath
As long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself
~1320
_____________________________________________
Oh, but that's right, you can fight, which is why you came under ROMAN RULE!! and WHY Romans Conquered England. But did the Romans conquer Scotland? NO!! despite the battles they won, they FAILED. You see, unlike your country, Scotland has never BEEN conquered, so stick Battle of Culloden, the Scottish war, up your arse.
Typical Hi Ho Hitler English bullshit, better dressed? In case you didn't know, that's all but an opinion. And the reason you were better armoured was simply because, you were fucking ruled!!! you were walked all over by the Anglo Saxons AND the fucking Romans!! Scotland???? Caledonia?? The Brave land of Caledonia??? OH!!! OH!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!! Scotland was never conquered pal, because even from the Scandanavian scourges of Vikings SCOTLAND STILL DEFEATED THEM AND SENT THEM HOMEWARDS, just like you fucking lot! Even after 400 years of war against the Romans, Scotland was still unconquered AND Free. The Romans called our people Caledonii, either meaning Hard rocky land, or HARD FOUGHT PEOPLE!! People who would show NO SURRENDER!! and fight to the death with NO FEAR!!
Something you never could, you were walked all over by Anglo Saxons and the bloody Romans. And don't talk to me about the Scots, we all know why the Gauls took place in Scotland and why the Scotti clan took over, because after defeating the vikings, there were hardly any men left of the Pictavish people. England is like France, wave the white flag when defeated. It proves in history, that Scotland never knew the meaning of surrender, which is why we defeated you lot and sent you homewards to think again.
Cromwell's Invention? You make me laugh, Cromwell's invention of Freemasonary doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg to what Scotland has done for your entire planet earth, never mind your stupid country. So go back to your Scottish EDUCATIONAL establishment and learn that one. You're probably too stupid to realise the importance of someone like David Hume, or John Knox, who I mentioned before hand. You proved you talk shit, because the reason the catholic church and catholicism was ripped out of Scotland, was because of John Knox, he was the one that started it, and later went back to Knox's foundations in the mid to late 1600's. It's because of John Knox that you have freedom to vote for who you want in power of your country, it's because of John Knox, that's right, John Knox, it's because of him that you are able to speak a free mind, so the shit you fed me about England was fucking laughable.
And that shit you just said, why was the only two Scottish Kings?? King James, the King that United Scotland and England, first to the aer to the throne, do you honestly think Scotland back then just like now, agrees with his choice?? No! Why? Because England were nothing but traitors and proved that. It's a bit like Government today or Robert Burns views of the Government back then, even in the song 'Is there for honest poverty' Burns wrote this:-

___________________________________________
There's evidence that not even Robert Burns agreed or followed who was in rule of Scotland of it's time, no one would've. But you talk to me like England is all rosey? KING FUCKING EDWARD!! oh, you forget that you tried to take over France, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the world. Greed and fucking power, that's all fucking England were, tyrant bastards that needed a good kick up the arse, and no one better than the Scots! I find it funny, because we were the only ones who properly put you bastards in your place. Then we done that in America like I said and that is a fact, a fact you're stupid enough to try and argue with.
And what makes me sit here and cringe and laugh at what you said, the reason you went forward was because of John Knox, you wouldn't know that though, he is buried in Glasgow for a reason, he was a SCOT.
King Edward the 1st? Are you having a laugh? The battle and main reason Scotland fought for was freedom, in the end they won it, so who the fuck is King Edward the first? Who gives a shit if he died or not, you'd still have had your arses handed to yous even if he lived on. What you seem to fail to understand, Scots don't understand the meaning of surrender, it's a SCOTTISH THING, something you English never quite understood, which showed in many examples.
Going off with population and attacking countries and taking their lifes and attempting to take a countries freedom is not something to be proud of. Unlike England, Scotland like stated, learned to fear in it's own native wood, it didn't bother with other countries until Scotland grew sick of your shit and joined an alliance with the French. Rightly fucking so, that's why it weren't Scottish who were fighting, because our people aren't tyrant fuck wits.
Why wasn't individual rights made in Scotland? at that time you're talking about the Scottish Kirk, and that is false bullshit, I'll tell you why that's false bullshit, BECAUSE, it was John Knox, and him alone, that because of him, we have individual rights to who you vote for and freedom to speak your mind and learn what you want, it's because of HIM that you choose who you vote for in Power. So kiss my arse in that bullshit you just stated. You haven't a leg to stand on in that one, especially when it was John Knox that started it, by ripping catholicism out of Scotland. He was the one that believed every man / person of society should have the right to learn what they want and read what they want as well as a believer that society should have a say on who goes in power, not the other way around. So why don't you stick that, right up your arse!
As for ship building? Glasgow was the main centre point of the Tabacco Trade, like I said, the only thing England done for Scotland was give us access to the global market. I don't think it really matters, I mean you sit there and say about Scotland's expeditions to America being a failure and how England never gave up. Do you even know the importance of a Scot called John Muir, you talk about expidition pal? Do you know how important that guy was?
__________________________________________
John Muir 1838-1914
Naturalist Muir was an advocate of U.S. forest conservation. He went on to establish the first national parks in the USA, leading to a worldwide conservation movement.
___________________________________________
I suggest you do research into who he was, the MASSIVE influence he has on America right to this very day, and he was born in Scotland. He's achieved more than any of your English explorers could ever achieve, you talk about Scottish expidition? LOL Scotland explored near enough the whole south. Another Scot you might want to look up, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, another example of a Scot that puts you straight to bed.
LOL aaahhhh hang on till I catch my breath from laughing, they were English colonies because YOU ENSLAVED THE SCOTS you stupid, stupid bastard! That's why the Scots ended up in America in the first place, you enslaved our people! That's why our people, our Scottish people, fought and WON the independence of America, to rebel against you lot! lol
And in case you didn't know, the Scots fought and colonised the entire southern parts of America, that's a fact, who the fuck you think the Rednecks, Hillbillies and Crackers were? you seem to forget, 75% of the south was Scottish, Irish and Welsh.
What the fuck has English colonies got to do with a Scot founding the bank of England or any invention for that matter??? Holy shit you are stupid! This is evident why English people need Scotland, what the hell has any inventions got to do with English colonies of America? The reason you had all that was because you enslaved the Scots, that's why the Scots were forced to fight for Northern Ireland and of course forced to leave their land behind in 1717. The first Scots were forced to America in 1680, then the Highlanders and Lowlanders were forced off their land. I still don't get it, what the hell have any foundations or inventions got to do with English Colonies? Nothing!
Just because Scots relied upon England for Gold (money) and global access to the market, doesn't mean your country influenced Adam Smith at all, because you simply fucking didn't. It's a bit like saying "oh, England has the money and financies which is why people like John McAdam invented the MacAdamised road system" LOL what a load of shite pal, what a load of shite. Your point about Scotland getting the financies from England is literately meaningless. Because it doesn't change the fact, ENGLAND needed Scotland to invent these things. You influenced practically fuck all of what Scotland Invented.
That's like saying the author, Robert Lewis Stevenson needed you to invent the words 'Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum' Oh and surprise surprise, they made a film based on his book 'Treasure Island', with the same story and same characters, it's called, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. And yes it was Robert Lewis Stevenson that made those words, before you know it, people use that famous phrase to assosciate with pirates, all because of a Scot born in Edinburgh. But did he need England like Adam Smith? NO!!
Why did the act of Union start in England? Excuse me, but who the fuck ruled aer to the throne first? King James of Scotland, yes that's correct, a Scottish King, doesn't matter where the fuck it was, he was bloody Scottish. Care to explain to me what happened after that? Why England were such traitors? Oh it was all Scotland's fault? MY ARSE!! just like it was Scotland's fault for yous trying to take our freedom.
What the fuck are you going on about??? the Saint Andrews Cross behind the Saint Georges cross doesn't make an ounce of fucking difference. In fact, if that's your thought, then it's right the way it should be then, because the Saint Andrews Cross comes FIRST.
England, more important than SCOTLAND of these Islands?? LOL!!!! WE ARE SECOND ONLY TO THE ANCIENT GREEKS, YOU AREN'T!! lol you haven't even come close to what Scotland has achieved in history. Your Greatest English influence was William Shakespear, and guess what, if he was a Scot, he wouldn't even finish in the fucking top 20 never mind 10 LOL Fucking William Shakespear, An Englishman who doesn't even compare to the Greatest Scot that ever lived, Robert Burns.
Whilst Robert Burns single handedly gave America it's independence because of the Great Awakening, what the fuck did Shakespear do? LOL am pissing myself laughing, I mean this is pretty damn funny. Shakespear in terms of influence wouldn't even fit in the Scottish top 10 lol who the fuck was Shakespear to the likes of Adam Smith or David Hume? LOL better yet, who was he to the likes of William Wallace? LOL England, first and most important my fucking arse!! LOL
The fact all you done in history was follow off Scotland's influence and inventions, makes me laugh, you view the modern world through the eyes of a bloody Scot and you sit there and tell me England is more important LOL!!! Funny guy I'll tell you that! LOL!!!
We all know money and false advertising of London lead it's tourism through the roof. If Americans really understood just how ignorant your people were, they wouldn't touch England with a 50 foot barge pole LOL that stone saying 'Sorry you had to drive through all that shit, Welcome to Scotland' is basically the truth, why?? You have no scenery! it's shit!! LOL they bummed about how spectacular the Lake District was, my God what a joke, especially if you've seen the likes of Loch Lomond and Loch Ness or Loch Katrine etc LOL aww my sides are hurting. I mean England, more important nation? You haven't achieved anything other than follow off Scotland's inventions and inspiration LOL
Good for him, he saved thousands of lives, now try comparing that to this:-
Scotland has saved more lives than those lost in every single war and battle that has ever faced the planet earths history LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
How many lives has penicillin saved, MORE THAN 2 BILLION!!!!!! peoples lives, discovered by none other than Alexander Fleming! Now who cares where he was, who cares about the finances, who cares whether it was an accident or not, most discoveries are anyway, that's what experimenting is all about! Penicillin has saved more than 2 BILLION peoples lives alone!! and you talk about some English guy? LOL awww you're a comedian.
You clearly know nothing about the risks that would've been taking to even reach London in the first place. The bit you missed out however, is that the Government forces that defeated the Jacobites AND Bonnie Prince Charlie, was an army full of Scots, NOT ENGLISH!! lol surprise, surprise eh? And how on earth can you question Scotland's intelligence when we're second to the Ancient Greeks? Are you that stupid? LOL
Again, more evidence you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about, why??? Scots SIDING with Prince William of Orange the Dutch King III???? Scots never sided with anyone, they were enslaved to fight for Norn Ireland you idiot LOL they were fucking forced to! they had no choice.
As for Frank Whittle, is this a sad attempt at trying to discredit Scotland and it's massive invention list of transportation from your fucking locomotive to the submarine in Dutchland right to your own fucking steam engines etc? Are you having a laugh, WE PRACTICALLY INVENTED YOUR TRANSPORTATION LOL
Who gives a shit if it wasn't a Scottish Invention, does this hide the fact we invented your modern world? No!
You haven't inflicted any pain, because the inventions list of Scotland completely dwarves England so much so, there is no comparison lol fucking practically everything you live off of day to day life practically is Scottish, from your roads to street lighting to celebrating halloween, to your own fucking fridges and fucking microwave ovans, where the fuck would you be without Scotland? Because your local supermarkets wouldn't be able to keep your chips fucking cold LOL nor would you have microwave ovans, nor would you have television, and so, so many other things, the list is endless.
England? Educated in comparison to Scotland?? YOU LEARNED FROM SCOTLAND lol you view the modern world through the eyes of a Scot, that's what makes me laugh. You sitting there saying why we speak English? perhaps thats because England were nothing by tyrant bastards, that's why!
Why is it not Gaelic? Because Scotland didn't go around the world trying to take countries freedom THAT'S WHY!!!! in other words, boasting that your language is spoken all over the world is hardly something to be proud of, that just shows you enforced it upon them, why don't you ask New Zealand, they'd know all about it, and why they call you fucking 'poms' LOL That's why all over the world Scotland is loved and respected. Because unlike england, Scotland were a giving, loving, caring, friendly nation, that kept itself to itself, gave things when right in a proper manner and didn't try to enforce things upon other nations! You see, it still exists to this day. Your country England is that embarassing, it does not accept people who can't speak the Queen's English. Enough said. And I'd rather Gaelic be a language near to dead, it's more unique that way.
Computer???? Tell me something, where did the idea of the computer come from originally? A television. James Clerk Maxwell, without him you'd have no computers, mobile telephones amongst so many other things you idiot LOL!!!!!!!!
What is that supposed to mean, when Glasgow was Crowned UK's top city? If you had half a brain, you'd know it's the people that represent a city, you take the people out of a city, it's then meaningless. A city means nothing without it's people. Are you honestly trying to compare GLASGEE as you call it, to London or anywhere in England? You can't! Not only is it the best shopping city outside London, it has the greatest night life in Britain and far ahead of any major city in England. It's by far a friendlier city and more welcoming than anywhere you go in England, yet it's the 3rd largest city in Britain. What makes me laugh about that stupid comment you made is that, is London surrounded by scenery like Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine etc? No! London is surrounded by a dump. So it doesn't matter what London is, the people make a city what a city is.
If you call lifting strangers up by the arm pits and throwing them aside to help yourself on a train better than Glasgow and barging through people (literately shoulder barging folk) on the streets better than Glasgow, you can kindly kiss my arse, because it doesn't compare. Not for nightlife and most certainly not for it's atmosphere, and certainly not for it's people.
You see unlike England, Scotland is a welcoming friendly country, something you lot could learn from us. Oh and by the way, the University of Strathclyde is the greatest in the whole of Britain for engineering, why isn't it England or fucking OXFORD!? Hmmm??? wonder why that is? And that's just ONE example!! LOL!! there are 4 Universities in Glasgow, do you pay tuition fees to go to them? NO!! do you pay tuition fees to go to Universities in a lesser city than Glasgow in England? YES!!!
Wrong, it's called going down south to find somewhere 2am in the morning to camp, because your country are so unwelcoming and so stuck up and ignorant, they told us to pitch it next to a fucking motorway, so instead, at 2am in the morning, traveled all the way from down near LONDON up towards the Lake District. What's that tell you about your ignorant arsed, stupid fucking nation?? It never has, and never will be anything on Scotland. Because no where in Scotland would fucking ever treat you like that.
Unlike English folk, Scottish people accept English money, you go down south with Scottish money, they stick their nose up at it, or they lift it up to the light and look at it in a strange way as if you're some sort of a con artist. And don't bother using the excuses, they don't accept Scottish money down south, which is why we have to get it exchanged all the time, yet it's the same fucking money, it's just your country are nothing but ignorant bastards.
If Scotland had power over the media, we'd show the United Statets of America, the REAL!!!! England! after all, your country is nothing to Scotland. And I wonder where the 8 mountains that are over 4,000 feet sit?? Oh that's right! They are all in Scotland and the tallest being, Ben Nevis, the same Ben Nevis you get English tourists climbing every year! Your scenery doesn't even come close to Scotland and that's no less than a simple fact.
And don't talk to me about a few doors, my ex lived in London for 6 years, I've heard enough pish and experienced enough myself. To even remotely compare Glasgow, to anywhere in the whole of England, it's laughable. You are a very ignorant, arrogant nation, the true saying goes:-
"Days may change, but standards remain the same."
Here you are my Celtic zealot buddy, this should interest you also.
Note the bit about emigration from England, the low countries and France which gave you your names of Bruce , Murray and Stewart.
Seems that us English bastards have even polluted and infiltrated the family of your greatest King the Bruce, William Wallace’s side kick Murray apparently they could have all been of Anglo Saxon descent (That’s English too you)
Yes I know the truth hurts doesn’t it.?
Taken from Dave McCullough an Historian of Scottish descent
The Scottish people (Scots Gaelic: Albannaich), or Scots, are a nation and ethnic group native to Scotland. Historically they emerged from an amalgamation of the Celtic Picts (east) and Gaels (west), incorporating neighbouring Britons as well as Germanic peoples such as the Anglo-Saxons and the Norse.
In modern use, "Scottish people" or "Scots" is used to refer to anyone born in Scotland, or to anyone whose linguistic, cultural, family ancestral or genetic origins are from within Scotland. The Latin word Scotti[15] originally applied to a particular, 5th century, Goidelic tribe that inhabited Ireland.[16] Though usually considered archaic or pejorative,[17] the term Scotch has also been used for the Scottish people, but this use is now primarily by people outside of Scotland.[18][19]
There are people of Scottish descent in many countries other than Scotland. Emigration, influenced by factors such as the Highland and Lowland Clearances, Scottish participation in the British Empire, and latterly industrial decline and unemployment, resulted in Scottish people being found throughout the world. Large populations of Scottish people settled the new-world lands of North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, with a large Scottish presence particularly noticeable in Canada, which has the second largest population of descended Scots ancestry, after the United States. They took with them their Scottish languages and culture.[20]
(THIS BIT HERE BELOW)
Scotland has seen migration and settlement of peoples at different periods in its history. The Dalriadic Gaels, the Picts and the Britons had respective origin myths, like most Middle Ages European peoples.[21] Germanic people such as Angles and Saxons arrived beginning in the 7th century while the Norse settled many regions of Scotland from the 8th century onwards. In the High Middle Ages, from the reign of David I of Scotland, there was some emigration from France, England and the Low Countries to Scotland. Many famous Scottish family names, including those bearing the names which became Bruce, Balliol, Murray and Stewart came to Scotland at this time.

The Scottish ARE fucking hard but that doesn't mean England isn't just as good
Anyway what does that argument have to do with America vs England?
To the guy who wrote that the scottish guy was a riot and a daily dose of entertaiment everyday
I admit at first I took him too seriously but then grew to actually quite enjoy his posts from the same point of view as yourself
Oh my god! What is wrong with you! We are allies in war, so why are we talking about each other like this? Honestly, this is completely ridiculous!
There are a lot of great things about England.
You just have to come over and see.
We're not that stereotypical 'Politician' type, and we're not nosey or whatever you think.
Now your stupid points:
1. No-one even likes Victoria Beckham. To be honest- you've got Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber in America. Who are you to talk about us that way?
2. There is NO right side of the road. For goodness sake, it doesn't actually matter what side of the road you're on.
3. Again- doesn't matter at all about what sports you get. Tennis for instance, it's a sport. So what? Why are you trying to back up your point with football?
4. I think a lot of us want you to remember- you're on our side. Or, we're on your side. Also, England is a lot closer to America to Germany. Why do you honestly think Germany invaded England first?! Use your common sense!
5. Child Pornography. Ridiculous. Most people in England are not dumb enough to even go there. Fine, it's illegal in America- people still do it. That point, was basically a failed point.
6. I've literally already answered this one. We. Are. Not. Sophisticated! It's that stupid stereotype! Like in France, you get an image of a french criminal on a bike wearing a black and white striped shirt. Honest to god- It is not like that. Our stereotype of America are fat people. And when I went to America, they all looked pretty Okay to me.
So there you have it. Why every country is EQUAL (oh, do you not know that word? Let me explain it... It means when we DON'T TALK ABOUT ALLIES IN THAT WAY YOU IDIOT.).
So, if you've never been to England before, hell, come visit. If you have, well you're a fool to be sitting here on your fat load bitching about us, come take the sites in, go do something with your life.
One more thing.
Like everyone else has said, GET AN EDUCATION.
You need help mate apart from getting your dates all wrong as well as referring to Cromwell’s invention as being anything other than what I said it was "the New Model Army"
You failed to understand that John Knox was in fact exiled from Scotland by Mary of Guise when French Forces invaded and took Scotland YES they INVADED and occupied your country , he was then forced by guise ( for she was the regent of Scotland) to flee to England where he served in the protestant church of England under the reign of Edward 6th when Catholic Mary came to the throne of England for a few years before Elizabeth he fled to Geneva where he ran a mission for Exiled Englishman and met Calvin , when Elizabeth ascended and Mary Queen of Scots ( Mary of guises Daughter French I might add he had a pop at her for her catholic practices , after she killed Darnley and was exiled to England he indorsed her execution by Elizabeth.
So England was a Protestant country long before Scotland and also provided a safe haven for both john Knox, Calvin and Mary ( even though she was a catholic , sounds like a country with a big heart to me especially if all scots are raving loonies like yourself.
You failed to answer any of my questions properly and just ranted on about John Knox and your favourite obsession Robbie Burns.
If it doesn’t matter about who invented the jet engine why does it matter about inventions by scots at every stage in your babble you contradict yourself.
You mentioned by sterling bridge yet you don’t seem to know who Edward the 1st was yet he was the English king at the time and nicked by the scots as hammer of the scots.
If the Bridge collapsed so much for Scottish engineering then the English army probably crossed a lot of English bridges on the way and they didn’t collapse.
The rest of post is just filled with same old statements and half-truths you have posted in all your posts if fact you may as well of cut and pasted all of them from previous posts.
If Scotland didn’t want to become part of the union why do you hold James in such high esteem from all accounts his entire reign was one of a miserable recluse who did nothing for Scotland or England and as I stated before produced a lot of very crappy catholic leaning kings had they been better they could have had it all but of course they were scots like you betrayal and dishonesty are in your blood.
Don’t give me all that bull shit about English tyrants you scots went along with the empire to an extreme that surpassed any English Saxon involvement scots as you say were spread all over the Empire in positions of power and influence and trade and exploited the natives just as much if not more than Englishman
The Black watch for instance during the Indian mutiny murdered 3000 Indians by strapping then to cannons and blowing their guts out for killing Scottish women, I suppose just shooting them like the English regiments was to mild a punishment for the occupation of their country.
The snow will be clearing soon I hope and its been an experience writing post to you for something to do , But I find myself thinking that if there are many more scots like yourself I really hope you get your independence so we may be rid of you for good at last.
Scottish world my arse
Winston Churchill was fond of making jokes of a sarcastic nature especially with regard to scots who he regarded as gruff rude and jealous of England I can hear him laughing after he made that comment about comparing the scots with the ancient Greeks
For my part maybe the Spartans but certainly not the Athenians.
No I don't need help, I'll tell you why I don't need help. You have sat and done nothing but try and discredit cold hard facts and not even opinions, that's how pathetic you are. It proves to me, that yes, you are very much uneducated. You are so uneducated that this modern world views the world through the eyes of a Scot. You further proved how uneducated you are banging off about Catholicism, as if to lay claim that it was fucking England's doing? What a load of rubbish! anyone that knows Scottish history can tell you John Knox was the cause of the Catholic church and Catholicism being ripped out of Scotland. So did Scotland need England for that? The simple answer is no! They bloody well did not.
You further proved how uneducated you are by proving that saying the population of Scots in America was rather low, that's why the entire south of America was colonised by Scots, yes that makes lots of sense doesn't it? We don't give a fuck about the 13 English colonies, why? Because it doesn't hide the fact, more than half the American Colonial army, were Scottish and defeated England in America. It also does not hide the fact half the signers of the decleration of Independence were of course Scots by blood, nor does it hide or dispute the fact Robert Burns single handedly caused the Great Awakening. And there is nothing, no matter what you say, that could even dare discredit any of that.
I'll give you one thing though about John Knox and about Presbyterianism, but him ripping Catholicism out of Scotland has nothing to do with England, he wasn't forced to by England. And just because of what was wrong in Scots power at the time does not mean to say the people of Scotland, society held the same beliefs, don't be so stupid. And you can quit the crap about raving loonies as well, we're a far friendlier and more loved nation across the planet earth for the very reason, we know how to treat foreigners with respect, we know how to open doors for people and most of all, we down stick our noses up at those who can't speak our language. Before you say a damn thing, England is a country that is exactly the opposite, that's not meaning to say that all English folk are like that, but England is not Scotland, that's for damn sure. For people who are barbaric, we sure give your country a showing up.
I have not failed to contradict myself at all, nor have I failed to answer anything about what you asked, why? What you asked was literately pointless. You are trying to go against what I stated, that you view the world through the eyes of a Scot. I do not give a fucking shit whether England invented such and such a thing, I do not discredit that, but let me ask you the question you swerved around, what the fuck has England achieved in inventions in comparison to Scotland's invention list? You want to know what? Nothing! Not even a fraction close. You harped on about the boat and of course longtitude, funny that isn't it? What was your point about it saving peoples lives? Because last time I checked, Scotland has saved more lives than those lost in every single war and battle that has ever faced the planet earths history. You could take the worlds population today of 7 billion people and it won't even touch the amount of lives Scotland has saved.
I know who King Edward the 1st was, nicknamed Hammer of the Scots lol yes, just like the Hammer of the Viking invaders that killed a lot of our people but we didn't know the meaning of surrender, thus we won. So it wouldn't matter even if King Edward magically lived 200 years (an extra 100), Scotland would've still won their freedom, my point exactly. You seemed to have ignored the Decleration of Arbroath.
_________________________________________
As long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule...
~Decleration of Arbroath
_________________________________________
So at the end of the day, banging off about the 'Hammer of the Scots' is quite laughable, he could hammer away all he liked, he'd still have failed, just like your own bloody King Edward after him. There were many stupid things King Edward the 1st done, one of the biggest was invading a country that could knock fuck out them. Why don't you hurry up and mention how the arsehole feared William Wallace and demanded he was to be captured, hung, drawn and quartered? That in it's own right, was stupidity, he done was create an inspirational figure that spurred the Scots to kicke the living shit out your country, that's all that done. Regardless of King Edward the 1st or not, we'd still have won Bannockburn.
Scottish engineering? LOL you are an idiot, if you knew anything about the Battle of Stirling bridge, you'd realise that too many tried crossing it, regardless of that bridge collapsing or not, William Wallace had your men right where he wanted them. As for Scottish engineering? Excuse me but who the fuck you think built the London Bridge? You couldn't even compare what Scotland's done to England, so kiss my arse on that? It was a Scot who built the London Bridge. Sir William Arrol, next you'll be laying down claims that he took inspiration from England, can't see green cheese without having a bit. So what you stated was a shower of shite. And yes the bridge collapsed at the Battle of Stirling, why? England's own stupid fault, they didn't have a fucking clue what they were doing.
How the fuck are facts half truths? Seriously you are stupid! You cannot possibly call all the facts I've posted anything of HALF TRUTHS. So no, the rest isn't HALF TRUTH, just like how you view the world through the eyes of a Scot, that ain't half truth, that's the fucking truth all in.
Betrayal and Dishonesty in our blood??? WHAT THE FUCK??? how any English bastard could sit there and say Scots are dishonest and show nothing but betrayal is a shower of shit! I'm just after saying incase you didn't realise, people of Scotland did NOT agree with King James of Scotland and the Unity of Scotland and England, which you want to talk about fucking betrayal?? Your country, stabbed ours in the fucking back, so don't talk to me about fucking betrayal pal, you don't even know the meaning of the bloody word! Just because one Scottish King showed wrong, you hold the whole Scottish population accountable? Who said the King was Scotland? That's why I posted something by Robert Burns, showing not even he himself from what he wrote agreed with who was in power of Scotland at it's time.
YOU WERE TYRANTS!! You bloody well were Tyrants, because if it wasn't for you, Scotland right bloody now would be populated full of Scots, it's because of you Scotland was ready to get an army together and invade England because you were nothing but BASTARDS! for over 700 years years my country fought for Independence! you were tyrant bastards and you bloody know it! And don't talk to me about what Scots done, the only thing Scots done, was being:-
a) Forced to fight for Norn Ireland against the Republic of Ireland
b) Forced to fighting and colonising the entire southern parts of what is now known as the United States, pure and simply for the sake of survival. Now I wonder who's fault that is? England's! I will say one thing however, if England never done so, I don't think Scotland would've had the same influence on the world, pure and simply because, that gave the Scots an opportunity on each continent across the globe to shine! As for surpressing English saxon involvement? LOL you attack our country, try to take it's freedom and you question that!?
Like stated, Scots had no bloody choice to fight and colonise the southern states of America, they HAD NO CHOICE! it's called survival for crops running dry and constantly having to move forward. I am not bloody surprised, after all, it was because of your people that forced our people off our own bloody land!
And don't talk crap to me about Independence about getting rid of us for the last! You have no chance of that, because whilst your £ and then the Euro both going down the toilet and you heding right now towards a New World Order, a one world government, you won't have any FREEDOM, you'll be ruled by Bankers under what you call communism.
Scottish world your arse?? You live in a Scottish modern world, you view the world through the eyes of a Scot, so how the fuck is that little fact Scottish world your arse??? Shows you how much you know about the likes of Adam Smith and most of all David Hume. It's because of him that today you see a lot of things as common sense, but you wouldn't know that. The Scots bloody well changed how you view this world today, it was Scotland who changed the way society the world over views the world and everything in it, we influenced it and that's a fact! So why don't you, kiss my Scottish arse! Just like how Scotland changed how you view patients when it comes to curing them.
Winston Churchill was fond of making jokes of sarcasm?? You idiot, what are you trying to claim? I just posted to you that no historian on the planet earth could dare argue with what he quoted saying. If no historian on the planet earth could dare argue what he stated, how the hell could you? Exactly, you simply couldn't.
Yes, he sure is laughing after quoted saying
"Off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind"
Do you actually know what that means? It means we are second only to the Ancient Greeks, you couldn't even surpass the romans or the likes of the Chinese like us, why? Because you've achieved fuck all.
Scotland, a wee country way a massive impact on the world, a country that basically is the Ancient Greeks of the modern world, a country that invented and inspired and built the foundations of this modern world, for the modern world to view the world through the eyes of a Scot. Yet you sit there and talk shit that he's talking crap? Oh really? So why is that no historian can argue with what he once said then?
You haven't even the singlest clue what you're even banging off about. I think Robert Burns, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and ever Scot in history would laugh at England for their attempt to discredit Scotland's great history. Scotland, jealous of a country that's achieved nothing in comparison to us?? LOL!! save the jokes pal, save them. Whilst we sit second only to the Ancient Greeks, you sit no where near us.
All England is, is another nation that followed off Scotland's influence and inventions, you view the world through the eyes of a Scot, just like how it was Scotland who educated you that to cure the body is to cure the mind first. And you are still using that same way to this very day, now go learn why you view the world through the eyes of a Scot.
Americans need to get their eyes open, they need to learn what an arrogant stuck up nation you are, they need to learn how ignorant your nation is. They need to learn the comparison in history between Scotland and England, there is no comparison, you are second best by miles. We've left yous for dust. The Americans also need to learn that if they were to visit the UK, that Scotland is a far greater country, which in it's own right, bloody well is.

if you want more there are six more pages worth on wikipedia for you to get pissed over and we didnt even have to go to England to get them financed as we were already here you uneducated loony sad scots bastard
Declration of Arbroath was a properganda document by the bruce in order to clear away the opposition to his assention to the throne of Scotland , it did not mean that ordinary scots had any more rights although it did mean "the hundred of us " that is one hundred landowning barons, hardly compares with a parliment which is elected does it as in england from 1649
Their was never any question of at Arbroath of any elected body either in Scotland or England in the 12th Century
if you were never invaded...how did you get there? oh let me guess your a typical yank that forgets there were natives there befor you, but they don't count now do they. Plusif you weren't invaded, what was Britain doing in america, controlling your taxes and such.
Child pornography is illigal, please check fact.
Victoria beckham is long lost and forgotten about.
Your actually proud to have a place called Beaver stadium? hahaha
We call is football, because oddly enough we play it with our feet.
Congratulations, you have shown not even a tiny fraction anywhere near to what Scotland invented, feel better now? That doesn't even make up a tiny fraction of what Scotland's invented so what was the point in that?
And what makes me laugh, is the fact Scotland educated England, built the foundations of the modern world and England followed every foot step of Scotlands inspiration. I don't discredit England for what they've achieved, which of course is nothing in comparison to Scotland, that's why I get to sit here and laugh at your attempt.
"Off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind"
~ Sir Winston Churchill (An Englishman).
Oh congratulations moer than 6 pages, that's wonderful, still doesn't even come anywhere close to a small fraction of what Scotland gave the world in terms of inventions.
We Invented the modern world, you never.
This is a list of Scottish inventions and achievements
Sorry arsehole but its only Four pages England has six , so you not even in the running for creating the modern world plus most of yours were financed with English money
You are fool sir and what is more you are a fool that doesnt listen or learn even if the facts are placed right under your nose you refuse to beleive them , what is more you only hear and read what you wish to see The English invention of the World wide web unfortunally means that sane scottish people especially small scottish children read your gabbage and believe
it which is the only reason i bother to refute your claims with hard rational facts

You do realise that it's literately impossible for Wikipedia to even keep record of the amount of things Scotland has invented. You talk about 4 pages, that's a very, very, very tiny fraction of what Scotland has invented. You are now claiming that England has invented equal if not more than Scotland. What an idiot.
What part of this do you not understand? Scotland invented your modern world. We built the foundations of the modern world. Just like James Clerk Maxwell, if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have the fucking computer, nor would you have mobile telephones, amongst many other things. I bet you anything, if I go on wikipedia, they won't have:-
The Keyring
Video Games
After all, they are both Scottish inventions.
Do you understand the meaning behind the saying
"Wha's like us, Damn few and their a' deid"
Do you? to translate that into English for you, since you're a bit dense, "who is like us, damn few and they are all dead" meaning, no one alive on the planet earth today could match us. You banging off about how Wikipedia has more pages, oh how fantastic, still doesn't hide the very fact most of those english inventions:-
A) came from the foundations of Scotland's influence
B) don't even compare to the massive, enormous list of Scottish inventions.
So essentially what you just done there was waste your time. Because here's a simple fact for you you can't seem to grasp.
"Off all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the contribution of man kind"
The Modern world, views the world through the eyes of the Scots, it was SCOTLAND who influenced the entire modern world and moved it forward, England is just another country that followed off Scotland's influence, just like how England, followed off James Clerk Maxwell, after all, no James Clerk Maxwell, no fucking computer.
What makes me laugh is the very fact that you now think England has achieved anywhere near the amount Scotland has invented. Wikipedia doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg to what Scotland has invented, that's a very tiny fraction, so what you stated there was an absolute load of pish.
The FACT we are second only to the Ancient Greeks will speak volumes for itself.

But certainly no one can say my interest in the Scots or Scottish culture is a matter of ethnic chauvinism or genealogical obsession. In fact, the point of this book is that being Scottish turns out to be more than just a matter of nationality or place of origin or clan or even culture. It is also a state of mind, a way of viewing the world and our place in it. It is a self-consciously modern view, so deeply rooted in the assumptions and institutions that govern our lives today that we often miss its significance, not to mention its origins. From this point of view, a large part of the world turns out to be 'Scottish' without knowing it. It is time to let the rest of the world in on the secret Scots have known for a long time: that without Scotland, to paraphrase Andrew Carnegie, the modern world would be a very poor show."
~ Arthur Herman
"For this was the culturally and materially backward nation that forward-thinking Scotsmen worked to change. In doing so, they would also change the world. Before the eighteenth century was over, Scotland would generate the basic institutions, ideas, attitudes and habits of mind that characterise the modern age. Scotland and the Scots would go on to blaze a trail across the global landscape in both a literal and a figurative sense, and open a new era in human history. In fact, the very notion of 'human history' is itself, as we shall see, a largely Scottish invention."
~Arthur Herman
"Today intelligent commentators tell us Great Britain is dead, that devolution has killed it off. Yet without the Scots, could it have survived in the first place?"
~Arthur Herman
"Fundamental to the Scottish notion of history is the idea of progress. The Scots argued that societies, like individuals, grow and improve over time. They acquire new skills, new attitudes and a new understanding of what individuals can do and what they should be free to do. The Scots would teach the world that one of the crucial ways we measure progress is by how far we have come from what we were before. The present judges the past, not the other way around."
~Arthur Herman

In other words, without Scotland, your daft arsed country would never have went forward and was fuck all to do with religion, but because SCOTS taught and educated you!! that's right YOU!! that the present judges the past, not the other way around, which is why you were a backwards thinking nation. And don't try to argue with that and your protestant bullshit. The reason you were forwards thinking is because of Scots! you dip shit! Remember, we built the foundations of the modern world, we educated your world, you followed off from it, without Scotland, you were helpless!

"Instead, the next crucial stage of Scotland's emergence into the modern world did not come from outside influences but from deep within two of it's own institutions: it's universities and it's law courts."

In case you fail to understand this, you never had any influence upon us, it's the other way around, we lead you forward, not the other way around dip shit. So see most of those inventions you just sat and listed, stick that up your arse, because without forward thinking Scots, you'd have went no where.
"The proper study of mankind is man.
~Alexander Pope
It was an Eighteenth Century Englishman, Alexander Pope who said it. But it was a pair of Scots, Francis Hutcheson and Lord Kames, who proved it."
~Arthur Herman
What makes me cringe about you is the very fact that you are sitting viewing this modern world and see things as common sense today BECAUSE OF THE SCOTS. You think and see the world today as the Scots did you fool. So keep banging off about your inventions, because not even your list of inventions even touch what Scotland gave this world.
Indeed, the famous names of the French Enlightenment seem to dominate almost every discussion of culture in the eighteenth centure.
This is a mistake. The Scottish Enlightenment may have been less glamorous, but it was in many ways more robust and original. More important, it was at least as influential. In fact, if one were to draw up a list of the books that dominated the thinking of Europeans in the last quarter of the eighteeth century, the Scottish names stand out. Adam Smith's 'A Theory of Moral Sentiments' and 'Wealth of Nations'. David Hume's 'Treatise of Human Nature' and 'Essay's Political,' 'Literary,' and 'Moral.' William Robertson's 'History of Scotland' and 'History of the Reign of Charles V. Adam Ferguson's 'Essay on the History of Civil Society.' John Millar's 'The Origin of the Distinction of Ranks. Thomas Reid's 'Inquiry into the Human Mind.' And at the top of the page, Francis Hutcheson's 'System of Moral Philosophy' and Lord Kames's 'Sketches of the History of Man.
It is an impressive list. If one had to identify themes that most of these works share, they would be 'history' and 'human nature.' Indeed, it is the Scots who first linked them together. The Scottish Enlightenment presented man as the product of history. Our most fundamental character as human beings, they argued, even our moral character, is constantly evolving and developing, shaped by a variety of forces over which we as individuals have little or no control. We are ultimately creatures of our environment: that was the great discovery that the 'Scottish school,' as it came to be known, brought to the modern world.
At the same time , they also insisted that these changes are not arbitrary or chaotic. They rest on certain fundamental principles and discernible patterns. The study of man is ultimately a scientific study. The Scots are the true inventors of what we today call the social sciences: Anthropology, ethnography, sociology, psychology, history, and, as mention of the name Adam Smith makes us realise, economics. But their interests went beyond that.
The Scottish Enlightenment embarked on nothing less than a massive reordering of human knowlede. It south to transform every branch of learning - literature and the arts; the social sciences; biology, chemistry, geology, and the other physical and natural sciences into a series of organised disciplines that could be taught and passed on to prosperity. The great figures of the Scottish Enlightenment never lost sight of the educational mission. Most were teachers or university professors; others were clergymen, who used their pulpits and sermons for the same purpose. Some, like Hutcheson, Ferguson and Thomas Reid, were both. In every case, the goal of intellectual life was to understand in order to teach others, to enable the next generation to learn what you yourself have mastered and build on it. From the scots' point of view, the advancement of human understanding was an essential part of the ascent of man in history.
Blah, blah, blah, you get the point, lets cut to this good point (oh sorry, as if that wasn't good enough LOL)
"Today Americans call their descendants 'Scotch-Irish,' but we must consider them Scots in every significant respect. In truth, they are the first representatives of the great Scottish dispora that changed the rest of the world.
____________________________________________
That's right England, welcome to Scotland's world, Welcome to Scotland, the land where you view the entire world today through the bloody eyes of a Scot. You even bloody well think like a Scot. Right now you are arguing something Scottish right now, it's called HISTORY LOL!!!!!!!
Oh, i wonder why Scotland is second only to the Ancient Greeks, maybe that's because what Scotland done for the modern world is what Ancient Greeks done for the Ancient World, yet there's you banging off about England LOL!!!!!
Americans are probably sitting laughing at you right now, especially after reading the crap you posted out and of course after seeing what I just posted.
Arthur Herman, you can call him whatever you wish, the bottom line is, he IS an historian, he has studied Scottish history pretty deep, he has no Scottish blood, no Scottish heritage, he IS American for your information, he knows a lot more about Scotland's history than you ever would.
You, who views this modern world and thinks through the eyes of a Scot, is sitting there shouting off how England done this that and the next thing, oh how funny that must be, why?
Here's why!
"This is the story of how the Scottish Enlightenment created the basic idea of modernity. Obviously, the Scots did not do everything by themselves: other nations - Germans, French, Italians, Russians, even the English - have their place in the making of the modern world. But it is the Scots more than anyone else who have created the lens through which we see the final product. When we gaze out on a contemporary world shaped by technology, capitalism and modern democracy, and struggle to find our place as individuals in it, we are in effect viewing the world as the Scots did.
LOL!!!!!!!! what can I say Englishman, you just got DONE!!!! you got RAN!!!! LOL funny shit man :)
For once your right Americans are probally laughing at us now but not for the reasons you stated , more because they are and have been a multicultralal nation almost from the word go they may have been started by Englishman and scots alike ( if you wish) but soon after became a nation of everybody from everywhere in europe and despite this they by and large manage to remain patrioctic to the stars and stripes whatever their colonial or europeon roots.
To see two people from the same island rhat were priciple in their creation and by extension at least since the act of union bitching about what tribe invented and create what must be a point of enomous humour to them.
However it was you that started all this nonsense and I can see lately that after my posts of English inventions and discoveries and the points I have raised that the wind has somewhat disapperared from your sales , you are actually stated to concede points now where as before you were just ranting and repeating yourself.
NO one country made the modern world but if you could tie it down to two countrys it would be England and Scotalnd , I dont have a problem with being British and prefer to call all inventions in these islands British inventions after all we have been one country for hundreds of years now with one flag, one army navy and airforce and up to a few years ago one goverment.
I also know that over those hundreds of years the interbreding of scots and anglo saxons saxons and others has blurred the lines of any ethnic groups so much so that there are over 2 million people in this country who are both of anglo irish desent and anglo scottish desent.
I myself was born of a english mother but my fathers parents were both Irish and scottish so from my point of view the dispute doesnt matter even although I regard myself as English and proud to be as this country has given me all I have since birth.
I dont really know what your problem is with England and frankly I dont care what you beleive , I feel that I have presented rational and accepted facts with regard to history and I stand by them , all the insults from you or any other scotsman will not change my view anymore it seems than I will change yours.
Typical arrogance of an Englishman, your arrogance shines through by telling me am the one that's being laughed at. So arrogant you are arrogant enough to ignore the facts. And after stating America is multicultural, yes this is correct, but this shows and proves to me you just arrogantly stuck your nose up at what was posted. The whole of Europe including you and the other cultures all learned from Scotland dumb arse. Without Scotland, the modern world would've been a very poor show, paraphrased by Andrew Carnegie lol that's how ignorant and stupid you are. Thanks for evidently proving you never read a damn thing or ignored it, because without Scotland, America wouldn't be free, you don't understand that simple fact dumb arse.
President Woodrow Wilson famous quote:-
"Every line of strength in American history is a line coloured with Scottish blood."
Funny that isn't it? Funny how every line of strength in their history is of Scottish blood, jealous? lol we all know the typical English attitude, cannot bring themselves to credit Scotland, always finding some way to attempt to try and bring us down. You can't handle it, your nation is fucking nothing to what Scotland has achieved from inventions right to influence, that is a fact, and it makes you sick!
I don't think Americans care less, they love Scotland more than England, they all loved Braveheart, and Americans can only slowly learn why Scottish, Irish and Welsh hate the English, because yous are nothing but arrogant bastards. Still cannot accept the simple fact that without Scotland, you were fuck all, the only damn well thing you done for us was enslave our people and we influnced the world in other continents, global access to the market, that's it.
You proved the pish you talk by trying to lay claim that it was England that caused Scotland to become a country that became forwards thinking. You seemed to have missed the quote that Scots didn't take influence from the outside, but you're daft enough to ignore it, or perhaps just bitter.
You dirty lying bastard, do not, whatever you do under any circumstances, try and take the pride away from a Scotsman, you never invented the modern world, SCOTLAND DID!! you seem to have ignored something here, the whole of Europe read books of David Hume and Adam Smith etc. Where did the whole of Europe learn from? Scotland, that's who they looked to for their education. We built the foundations of the modern world, it's because of Scotland this world went from backwards thinking to forwards thinking, it was SCOTLAND, not England, SCOTLAND who taught the world.
This reminds me of Murray the Tennis player, England whenever Scotland achieves something, England tries claiming it as British, yet whenever ENGLAND achieves something, it was the ENGLISH that done it.
Let me just quote these things for you:

"Fundamental to the Scottish notion of history is the idea of progress. The Scots argued that societies, like individuals, grow and improve over time.

The present judges the past, not the other way around. And for the modern Scot, for Adam Smith or David Hume or Henry Bougham or Sir Walter Scott or any of the other heroes of this book, that past was the Scotland that had tried and executed Thomas Aikenhead."
"The Scottish Enlightenment is inseparable from its legacy. The age of Adam Smith, David Hume, James Watt, Robert Adam and Robert Burns, when Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh, the triple wellsprings of the modern mind, is not just an episode in Scottish history. It marks a crucial turning point in America, in the development of the British Empire, and of Europe - Not to mention the United Kingdom."
_____________________________________
Now for the best quote of them all.
_____________________________________
"Of course, these days Enlightenment is the subject of as much historical revisionism as Britain or Scotland, most recently in an interesting book by Roy Porter, The British Enlightenment. None of this poses any problem here. It is still possible to describe a Scottish Enlightenment with its own character and momentum, without much reference to the intellectual goings-on south of the border - Although it is very hard to do it the other way around.
In fact , the sources of the Scottish Enlightenment could be considered as much Dutch as they are English. At the turn of the seventeenth century, Dutch law, theology and medicine inspired and instructed Scottish thinkers and doctors and lawyers, who in turn laid the foundation for what was to come. A Dutch king, William III, oversaw the Glroious Revolution settlement, including revamping Scotland's universities; Amsterdam's banking and mercantile caitalism in the age of Rembrandt served as the prototype for Britain's trading empire in the oage of Adam Smith.
However, a book subtitled "The Dutch Invention of the Modern World' would ring false, because one thing is still missing: what I have called the Scottish dispora, that extraordinary migration of nearly two and a half million Scots to every continent on the globe in the years between the Act of Union in 1707 and the outbreak of World War I. They came from every part of Scotland and from every social condition. Whether Highlander or Lowlander, Orcadian or Borderer, crofter or urban-dweller, they brought with them a generally high level of literacy, of job skills, and a strong sense of moral discipline and personal initiative. They would transform every society they touched."

So you see next time an American or yourself bangs off about China, just remember those words banged up above. You didn't even know that. I also do not dispute what England has been credited for, fair play to them, they've achieved a lot, but in comparison to Scotland, no, just no. I also do not dispute that about the interbreding.
You don't know what my problem is with England? LOL not all English people are bad, I'll give you that, but with my experiences of being south and how I've been poorly treated for being Scottish, and whenever it comes to history, oh aye! they don't take kindly to Scotland being a country that became second to the Ancient Greeks. They'll play Scotland down till blue in the face. Plus the fact, if you had actually watched the video I posted to you, you'll know that Scotland is probably the land of the Ancient Greeks. Meaning Greeks no doubt travelled and settled here in Caledonia over a thousand years ago.
And you talk about facts, you posted some truth, other parts though like your claims of little Scots population to the independence of America? That was completely far fetched and false. And in the first place, I did not post that Scotland gave them their freedom to target English folk, I posted that because the person that posted the blog seems to forget who actually won the war.
And I'll take back the insults because I am nice enough, but I am patriotically passionate of my country and it's history, whatever is posted truth and facts I will stand by myself.
Typical arrogance of a English man? Hello? No one can get more arrogant then Americans. They think the own the world. Fact. You're not the only nationality about, though you like to think it.
i'd just like to ask a quick question to the British. Does anyone here think the house of lords should be abolished. Lets face it it's been around for a thousand years. there not driven by a political party which allows laws to be passed fairly. Unlike the american pricks in Washington, who are corrupt.
The British government is not corrupt, we have never had a retarded leader. Okay we have had a few alcoholics and we killed a king but lets face it Britain is way better than America. We may be broke and stuck on a rainy island but i would rather eat dog shit than step foot on american soil.
Hahaha Britain has never been invaded. NEVER, Germany was too afraid of our naval fleet at the time to even attempt to try and come over here. And besides, we won the battle of Britain, which was an SKY based battle. Sure germany bombed us quite a bit, but have you ever heard of dresden?:p
Yes, World War II no doubt was an air based battle, but when you state that the Germans never tried any other way, you'd be wrong, they attempted coming over by a Scottish invention in Holland, called the submarine, but it was the Scots Invention the Radar that although designed to pick up air craft, it picked up subs under water, thus it saved many lives.
Silly American. You do drive on the wrong side of the road. Before cars were invents almost the whole world had their horse carts riding on the left side of the road as most people were right handed and therefore their whipping hand (people used whips for controlling their horses) was their right hand. They rode on the left to make sure their whipping hand was on the inside of the road, away from the streets so they didn't hit a pedestrian. Also there is the little fact that we invented the car and therefore we drove it first on the left side. The only reason why 3/4 of the world drive on the right is because after they were part of the British Empire they felt a need to make themselves different from the British and thought changing the side of the road they drove on was a great way to show how they're not British anymore.
Also Germany never occupied London during world war two. Germany never made it to British soil, the most they occupied was the channel. All they did was drop bombs on London but then we also dropped bombs on their cities as well. So why don't you actually learn your history before making up shit.
And you must be the most fucked-up-in-the-brain fag in the whole of America
I've always grown up thinking Americans were cocky, self centred, love themselves and think they own the world. This article just proves I thought rightly. Sorry
LOL U FUCKING YANKS, WHOLE BRITAIN IS WATCHING NOW ON BBC CHANNEL ABOUT UR INVASION OF IRAQ..VIETNAM AND HIROSHIMA, U FUCKING BASTARDS HOPE UR COUNTRY GETS BOMBED BY RUSSIA AND RUSSIA COULD EASILY KICK UR FAT MCDONALDS ASS DOWN, GO LICK BUSHES HAIRY ASSHOLE......
HAHA AMERICA.....THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT NEVER HAD A KING/QUEEN OR EVEN HISTORY DATING FEW HUNDRED YEARS AGO, HAHA SAD FUCKING COWBOY FREAKS.
UR FAMOUS FOR QUEERS AND SAN FRANSICO, WHERE U GOT MORE AIDS THAN IN AFRICA.
AMERICA IS NOT AMERICA ANYWAY, UR PRESIDENT IS BLACK FOR FUCKS SAKE HAHAHA , UVE BEEN SOLD TO SLAVES.....U BUNCHA QUEERED JERRY SPRINGER TARTS.
HATE FROM BRITAIN!
Listen you stupid bitch,
If you knew what the bloody hell you were on about you would know that England was NEVER invaded by Nazi Germany and that Germany's attempted invasion (i.e. The Battle of Britain) was a failure.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. You arrogant tanks - er I mean, yanks.
Every point you made, my friend across the pond, are mute - and prove nothing at all to anyone with a shred of intelligence.
I agree that America should have always been it's own independent entity. I speak for the rest of Britain on this issue too - it would have only been a matter of time before our greedy royals (at the time) would have been replaced by a person with greater justice and eptitude.
However, lest ye not forget where you came from. At the time of America 'kicking the British out' - you WERE British. It us was us Brits, who claimed our own independence in a foreign land. How on earth can you forget such a basic fact?
My parents grew up in Boston, I went to an American Uni in London because it offered flexibility for me at the time (wish it'd been British though!). So I know all about the U.S. Been there many times and have many great friends there, plus an ex-boyfriend whom I loved more than anything.
But I tell you what, I'm damn proud to be British. And for all the great Yanks I know, I know some unbelievably arrogant, dumba**es too.
You're lucky America was born from such a great nation. They should teach you THAT is school.
Remember World War I? course you don't you weren't alive. Well i got an education from school not from google and i happen to know that you did bugger all. Turning up 1 year before it ended and making films about how you won it single handedly, sorry to shatter your illusions but you didn't.
P.s. Just think about the language you lot are all speaking/typing right now. kthanksbye.
If you weren't so dumb you would know that England was never occupied by Germany....EVER! Also im from England and i hate tea with a passion, i have great dental hygein and child pornography is illegal. Free health care is great and we dont like victoria beckham, thats why we got rid of her and sent her to USA. I never had anything against USA till i read this, you are giving yourselves a bad reputation.
ps. you love your flag way too much.
You Americans think you own the world, but Britain owned one quarter of the earths surface and ruled one quarter of the people on earth. So who was closer to ruling the world?
Secondly, you only came into the war when it was nearly over. Europe had to put up with the Nazis and the constant bombing. Who cares about pearl harbor, what about entire cities and entire families being wiped out.
Here's how we settle this...England, pick out 1000 of the loudest, most ignorant screaming jackasses in your country. America will do the same. We put all 2000 of them on a boat full of liquor and knives and see what happens. Then the rest of us can converse like normal people.
No one cares about the UK. Everyone talks about America. That's how it is.
US have 500 warships, 12 supercariers, 7000 nuclear warheads, 6000 fighter jets, 200 bombers, 100 nuclear subs, 5000 helicopters, 3 million troops, 12 B2 bombers, Space weapons. All the US have to do is send one B2 to bomb the crap out of the UK and she is done.
Please UK people, don't be fooled by your own media and hype.
America= Apple, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Dell, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Youtube, Space Shuttle, Landing men on the moon, Nike, Motorola, Oracle, Voyager Spacecraft out of the solar system, NASA (England have not sent any man to space by herself- has to hitch a ride with NASA) hahaha, Hubble Telescope, 80 Unis out of the top 200, Hollywood, RocknRoll, Jazz, Blues, Mars rovers, Twitter ETC!!!
England= BAD TEETH!
LOL Britain owned america at 1 point, americans are all racist, americans are all fat, we dont have paris hilton, america is the only country that cares about american football. Go bum off canada

Okay - let's look at the whole "England would be talking German" thing if the US didn't enter WW2. Hmmm, at the time the British were the world police (much like the US nowadays) so were obliged to declare war on Germany. Now, if the Nazi's HAD defeated the British (which they hadn't by the time the US joined the effort, not due to them feeling it was right to declare war on Germany, but due to Japan declaring war on THEM) this would have meant that the entire BRITISH Empire would have been under 3rd Reich control, this would also include the former Ottoman Empire, so it would have been a MASSIVE German Empire. How long do you think it would have been before Germany then came after the US? It's common knowledge that the Nazi's were developing the Atomic bomb and rockets that could have hit America - which would have led to the complete surrender of America before a shot being fired. So, in fact the US didn't enter the war to save the British but to save themselves. Hell, all you American's could be speaking with a German accent right now. But, let's look at another fact - all through-out the war, Hitler was trying to declare peace with Britain as he didn't want to fight who he claimed where his Germanic brothers. He actually wanted a joint Anglo/Germanic Empire standing together peacefully, as he respected what the British had achieved from such a small land mass, which to him was further proof of Aryan Supremacy as he consided the English in particular to be descended from the same Germanic roots as the Germans.
Dealing with the whole "Independence" of the US thing - at the time Britain had control of large swathes of Africa and the Indian Subcontinent - both of which decided to attempt uprising at roughly the same time. The British only had so many "troops" as such, and the decision was made to leave the America's and concentrate on keeping what was had still of the Empire. Remember that GB had the largest Empire the world has ever known. Maybe not in continuous land mass, but in total size of land and people. The US has never had an Empire. Every time the US invade another nation they generally leave with their tale between their legs. The most obvious cases being Korea and 'Nam. Hell, if the Soviet's had decided to invade the US you'd all be talking Russian now.....
Give it 25 years and you will all be talking Arabic.
Just imagine the mess the US would have been in if they had gone into Afghanistan/Iraq alone without allies.....
Peace.
To all americans everywhere.
1. Stop thinking you saved everyone in the world wars. You didn't, it was a combined effort by russia, Britain,France, belgium and the commonwealth and only at the very end when you realised you had to fight against Germany did you join in. In fact, at the time, a huge amount of the people in america were of GERMAN ORIGIN so actually liked Germany.
2. Nobody has screwed the world up more than America... I mean you elected George BUSH as leader MORE THAN ONCE!
3. People in Britain aren't all intellectual, polite or classy but in comparison with some of the people in America majority of them are.
4. We have a health service that works, which means not only are our teeth great but so is our lifespan.
5. STOP KILLING BRITAINS TROOPS AND AID WORKERS IN AFGHANISTAN. FRIENDLY FIRE DOES NOT MEAN THEY DON'T DIE.
obviously england is better than america. You can't even spell right! It's called the English language not the american, if america is so much better why isnt it called the american language? Seen as it is English you should spell how the english do, centre is not spelt like center.
And so what if english drink tea, what's your problem so do other places in the world, why do you drink black coffee? you freaks. And there is nothing wrong with english's teeth, so all of your teeth are perfect are they doubt it. About 2/3s of americans have had surgery seen as their so perfect whats with all the work? You talk a load of bull and don't know what your onabout.
I'm ashamed to be British after reading these comments, I'm sure most Americans would also be ashamed of you people. You can't generalise. There are swathes of ignorance and arrogance from both countries.
There are also great, friendly, people who do not feel the need to be racist or xenophobic or hateful. There's no need to attack the other country especially since neither sides are ever going to be right.
Some people on here are worse than the Westboro Baptist Church and I'm serious. It's not like what you're saying has any effect.
The british crown still owns America...There never was any independence.The Revolutionary War was nothing more than a move to turn the people into debtors for King George..Great Britain to this day collects taxes from the American people. The IRS is not an Agency of the United States Government..sounds like you need a real History lesson..At Yorktown, the victory that won the war, Frenchman outnumbered Americans almost three to one! By 1779, there were more Americans fighting with the British than with Washington! The Revolutionary War was a fraud. The King of England and the rothchilds financially backed both sides of the Revolutionary war. (Treaty at Versailles July 16, 1782, Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80) Plus you can not use the Constitution to defend yourself because you are not a party to it..Also The FCC, CIA, FBI, NASA and ALL of the other alphabet gangs were never part of the United States government...Look it up ..you dont have your America..
This has to be a joke. Nobody could be that dumb, surely?
That was my reaction on reading the article. Reading the comments I'm not so sure. Btw, it was only the French involvment that tipped the balance in the American Revolution.
bloody hell, i just wish that someday those theiving americans realise that they are twats. england rules.
WITHOUT ENGLAND, AMERICA WOULDN'T EXIST.
so there u are, miley cyrus obsessed gits
americans would be nothing if it weren't for the british, all that needs to be said!! americans = f*ckwits
You are incredibly stupid......
Britain was never taken over, you act like it's France and Hitler is going around touring Big Ben. Plus, American football is stupid. Soccer should be football. Why? CAUSE YOU KICK IT WITH YOUR FOOT! Britain rules. and I am an American.
And you have the weakest reasons in the world.
Reasons why Britain is better:
gun control
less crime
smaller population
You do know what idiot means, right?
Well look at yourself.
"America has fought in a war on its own - Vietnam and we all know who left with their tails between their legs here"
thats hillarious and i know this is a bit late but i've only just found this post.
Vietnam is 331,690 km2, i mean it only took you 19 Years and 180 Days, so i fairness yes you can fight a war on your own give yourselves a treat, but leaves some for the rest of us, 19 years without help and i believe ww1 lasted about 4 years, ww2 lasted 6 years, now at this point i would say i'll leave the maths to you but i'm pretty sure it would be quicker for you to invade somewhere else.
these are the countries that fought against the communist forces
South Vietnam
United States
South Korea
Australia
Philippines
New Zealand
Thailand
Cambodia Khmer Republic
Laos Kingdom of Laos
Republic of China Republic of China
guess the Americans couldn't even fight that one on their own either
British army - Falklands war - 74 days - 649 killed
Anti Communist forces - Vietnam war 19 years, 180 days - 315,384 killed
looking at this the British can win a war by itself and in just over two months. Which the Americans said would be a military impossibility.
This prick must be the most idiotic cunt I've ever come across.
I only ended up here because someone told me that if you type 'why are b' into Google it auto fills to 'why are black people so ugly' and now I'm reading this pile of bullshit... I think the reason there are so many responses is that the original post is so outrageously fucking stupid.
Has this cockmuncher even admitted to being a certified retard after suggesting London was occupied by the Nazis? Winston Churchill did more than anyone in reeling in the Nazis... he identified the threat long before anyone else and before he was in a position to act on it, and when he was willing for Britain to go it alone there were plenty of Americans supporting the Nazis. Meyer Lansky even had to go and break a few Nazi-Yankee heads in Jewish solidarity.
We started the war as the World's foremost superpower, and having sacrificed the last of the Empire in going practically alone against the biggest evil of the last century, America only offered its fresh reserves in exchange for land for military bases and squeezed us for cash! So America can't even claim to have entered the most important war in history for the right reasons. America essentially acted like a vulture, ripping the meat from a carcass that died in honour. Not something to be proud of, whereas the Brits can rightly be proud of performing beyond its means and sacrificing wealth and power to bring down an evil empire.
The Americans even needed the help of Lucky Luciano to get out of its own docks and into Sicily... even after you got independence from Britain (not just England you dumb fucks - do you all share George Bush's geography teacher?) you were being ruled by the French (whose help you needed to get independence) and the Italians soon started running the show once they appeared on the scene.
As for your independence, Britain had the capability to retain the colonies if it felt it was necessary to invest more into doing so. The Royal Navy fucked your colonial shit up and if it had sent more men to fight on land, and if you didn't lick some French ass for help, you could have been forced into submission.
The thing is, at the height of the British Empire, 3/4 of the World's population was under the British flag, and the sun never set on British land. So why do you think we even gave a fuck about your empty, uncivilised land?!
THAT is why that English guy thought it was 1976... nobody gives a fuck in Britain because it barely affected them and they still went on to pioneer or invent the train, electricity, the telephone, the television, the jet engine, the computer and countless other revolutionary landmarks in civilisation without the need for a few colonies that have since been filled with so many cultures that it doesn't even have an identity of its own and has contributed fuck all to humanity in comparison to the great Roman and British Empires that will still be remembered long after the bald eagle has been shot down by the Chinese and Russians.
So fuck off and go to school before you share your thoughts with the World - you're not smart enough to back up your shit and you don't know enough.
Ps Have you even had sex yet because you sound like a pathetic virgin that needs to get laid?
hahahaha I am English and live in America. I first want to say I knew of many more over weight people in ENGLAND than I actually do over here. People in America dress way better, and are so much more laid back. As for looks, American girls are way classier and bombshells compared to the plain jayne English, who all have bad acne, bad breath, smell vag's, and just trash. I can't say I have ever met any American that has slept with a family member? You're all crazy. Any English bloke on this website smashing the USE is just lieing to themselves. Growing up in London, everyone I knew talked about how much better America is, and how everyone wanted to live their! So keep dreaming all you UK BASTARDS! maybe one day you'll get out of that shit hole of a country like I did! And one more thing. The Police officers in England don't let kids do anything! MOST BORING PLACE TO LIVE GOES TO THE UK!
oh and by the way. Don't FORGET ALL YOUR BRITTS!!! EVERYONE IN EUROPE HATES US AS WELL!!!! THE FRENCH, POLISH, ITALIANS... EVERYONE! EVEN THE GOOD OLE RUSSIANS HATE US!
this is why everyone hates England and the USA. The two "allies" can't even get along? such crap! seriously soo right. Everyone hates us both! so why can't we just suck it up, Yea America kicked are arse in the war. Give them respect! And so what if the call it soccer instead of football? who the fuck cares if the waited til the last year to join world war 2! Any one sit back and think, would it have been our last year if the USA didn't join. My Grandfather was in the RAF and always talked about the respect he had for AMERICAN SOLDIERS. Do you all know why Pearl Harbor was bombed? BECAUSE the JAPANESE KNEW THEY WERE HELPING US! SO EVERYONE ON HERE AND SHUT UP AND LEARN TO EMBRACE THE 2 COUNTRY'S! IGNORE WHAT EVERYONE ABOVE IS SAYING AND JUST REMEMBER WE ARE ALONE! ENGLAND AND THE USA NEED TO STICK TOGETHER! EVERYONE HATES US BOTH!!!!! WHY DON'T WE TURN THIS INTO A DISCUSSION ON HOW WE KICK EVERYONE ELSES ARSE TOGETHA!
english people obviously have a lot of hate for a country that is so hated them selves. ??? people do your selves a fav, go back threw this and look how many english people commented on here and how little americans did. As an english person i am ashamed. You all seem to ave to much time on ya hands! and to much hate. unfortunately I can't agree with any of you. I have been to America twice, NY and California. Everyone I met loved The English, i felt very welcomed and had a wonderful experience. Maybe you all need to travel more, you'll realize it is the English with the problems.
TEAM AMERICA!! FUCK YEAH! COMMON ALL YOU ARSE HOLES! ENGLAND LOVES AMERICA!!!! YOU'RE ALL BEING CUNTS!
I wish we could all get along.
I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy...
I LOVE THIS GUY, he's so stupid it's like he's deliberately doing it for our amusement.
My favourite comments this yank made were "Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London. Winston Churchill was overrated"
HA, just goes to show how moronic MOST americans really are.
1. Nazi Germany NEVER!!! invaded london let alone the united kingdom.
however they did invade the channel islands which are owned by the UK but not part of it.
2. Considering the U.K is a tiny country in comparison to the USA we did a fucking good job during WW1 & WW2. The hurricane and the spitfire...need i say more?
My other favourite quote is "The U.S. was never taken over by anybody. Ever."
Okay this is true I admit, BUT! didn't the ALL MIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL USA join the war a year late? And wasn't the ONLY reason they joined was because of the attack on pearl harbour? furthermore President Roosevelt never asked for war with Italy or Germany before the Congress. Instead, three days after December 7th, Italy and Germany declared war on the United States!!
Right u dumbases i'm am british and we have basicaly all got what you got. we don't drink tea we drink monster red bull coke fanta and all the others. we have tv's mobiles xbox360s blue ray player ps3's laptops i pads wi fi and we use all of thease and more in our schools. also we were the so called lossers who found america. and we have one all our wars so far and don't forget whos troops are out in afganistan yours and our troops. so leave us brityish alone and get back to your crap lives and stop picking on us!!!!! ;[

YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS!
First of all i'll address you, J.B. Hour directly. Although i sincerely hope you don't actually believe everything you wrote and I'm pretty sure you don't, I want to congratulate you for creating quite possibly the most provocative thing I have ever read on the Internet. If there was a record for comedy articles being blown out of proportion it would go to you. I've been sat here for hours laughing my arse (or ass) off at all these angry comments from both nations respective key board warriors who have completely missed the point of the article. I'm English and this article didn't offend me because i know that:
1 The vast majority of Americans and Brits realise that Britain and America are very close allies and don't believe all the stereotypes.
2 The vast majority of Americans and Brits realise both countries and their respective citizens have their own good points and bad points.
3 both countries receive a he'll of a lot of tourism from each other so neither can be that bad to visit I.e we've got castles and other ancient buildings, you guys have Disney world and nice weather
4 Americans aren't crap at geography they just have a massive country, some states are larger than most European countries so maybe some American kids can't point out certain countries on a globe. I'm pretty sure the average British kid doesn't have the faintest idea where fore example Wyoming is.
5 both countries have militaries sophisticated enough to destroy the planet so there's no point arguing who's is better as that's not a capability one should be proud of and any war between the two is virtually impossible as the result would be the total destruction of both nations.
At the end of the day, I'm English, I do not hate America or any other country as a whole for that matter. I've been to America and love the country and got on with the people. I love football (soccer) and rugby, but I also watch the Superbowl every year.
Ps Angry English people on here chill out.
Pps I frequently get told how nice my teeth are haha
England is a bunch of pusscakes we won the war and we were the underdogs and also they are all gay....It's a fact. Disney channel told me so.....and also they don't have a disneyland in england like wtf? Disneyland is the greatest thing fucking ever..... well as i was saying America's better.....and than Kenya is better than america :D all day er day
England doesnt have a disney land in our country, as we actually have real, old, meaningfull tourist attractions, so people actually want to see our country. You need a disney land because thats the only thing to attract people to your country, when i hear my friends say they are going America i always say, oh thats nice, where abouts are you going? and they always reply florida, and whys that? Because thats where Disney land is.
In England I hear the guys have baginas what is a bagina and why do they have one?
I love this site... it's only a few yanks nd few brits.. snapping quicker then a twig under a tank responding to zenaphobic sterotypes but who honestly gives a shit now days... both countrys are about the same.. im english british a "bloody red coat " just incase i forget my place in this world.. we wore red... now im cursed for eternity by the americans... Ooooo nooooooo does that mean we can call them blue coats?, Never mind all this stuff Take pride in the fact.... we're not french...
American education is an oxymoron.
To any americans that don't know what that means, learn about it.
Mr. G LLB MsC M.St

now I've summarised my education, fuck off.
WHEN THE FUCK DID GERMANY OCCUPY LONDON IN WW2 ??????????
I TAKE IT YOU A SOME SORT OF BAFFON TO SAY THIS PUBLICLY?? HERE YOU ARE BASHING THE UK AND YOUR FACTS ARE GROSSLY INACURATE!!
YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAT AN EMBARESMENT TO AMERICANS.
IF YOUR GOING TO STIR UP HATRED BETWEEN TWO ALLIED NATIONS AT LEAST KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOUR ON ABOUT!
You're such an idiot.
Germany managed to invade England and occupied London?? - Try using google again
Wow...just wow...
I'm English, and I'll admit that this Todd sounds like a cunt...
But basing a lot of your 'facts' around conjecture and looking on the internet (Germany never occupied England during the war and if you think 110,000 fans drinking consumes more than Europe then you clearly have never seen England playing 'soccer') is not a way to put together a valid argument.
This Todd does sound a dick for saying we only officially gave the US back to you in the 70's, most brits don't even care if this is true or not and don't about a war almost 250 years old and the reason you've never been invaded is because you share borders with Canada and Mexico, not renowned for their military prowess however far you go back.
In Europe we're hated, we drive on the left side of the road just to piss off the French and the Germans...outside of Europe we're loved, christ knows why seeing as the vast majority were once in the British Empire and we fucked them over for resources more than you are fucking the world over now. I live outside Europe and when I'm asked where I'm from they always say I'm a gentleman just because I'm English...I think I've got a lot to thank William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, James Bond and the Queen for, that regality seems to permeate down regardless of our class according to foreigners.
God, I love being English. Cecil Rhodes once said "Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life."
I also know most people reading this will think I am also a bit of a cunt :-P
i don't think your a cunt mate yor kinda cool backchating to them loser americans there just jelous because we invented most thing and we found there poxy land and we taught them our language which the have twisted over the years
u guys are really really gay. we are the same country pretty much. we couldn't of beat Germany by our selves and you couldn't of ether.I do think that Amerian football is way better then soccer though
Poorly researched article man. I'm not English but I know enough.
- The last time England was successfully invaded was in 1066 by the Normans.
- The Spanish landed in Scotland in 1719 and were soundly thumped. And Scotland isn't even England.
- The only Germans who set foot on the English mainland where German pilots who had been shot down and a high-ranking Nazi official that tried to negotiate a peace-deal without the consent or knowledge of Hitler and his cronies.
- I've been to England and the US. You Yanks love your "lite", watered-down, soap-water beer. Brits/English drink lager and stuff that looks like and tastes like tar. And you are smoking pot if you think you would out drink English football (soccer) fans. The English are a match for the renowned beer-guzzling Germans. The English famously nearly drank Germany dry in 2006 during the FIFA Soccer World Cup.
America football isn't football real football is when you don't use your hands not running around with it in your hands like in rugby, oh yeah you know when america invaded britan, this really happend look it up, well whould do you think won, whos still here, where are they where are they oh yes britan. oh and you know that the only historical films that you make that are your own are cowboy films and wwII films, but because you have no history you have to use the rest of the worlds history not yours and if it wern't for us you wouldn't be stuffing your face right now.
sorry i didn't mean that last bit, but i rarely see a fat american and america is still alsome they have more comady films that are better but BRITAN IS THE BEST. oh yeah and we invented the tv so there ha ha but america is alsome.
this is some funny shit, and I'm english. It's win-win. If he's joking, it's funny. If he's serious, it's still funny. And King Ralph is a fucking good point either way.
PEOPLE PLEASE GET OVER IT!!!
1.) Both countries are great in there own way
2.) People are entitled to there opinion
3.) Think about what great things the 2 countries have acomplished together
I think you will find if you put an englishmen and an american in the same they would not be so different.
SO JUST LET IT GO
16 year old english girl :)
shut up love dosn't win only war O.K and this talk is to say whos better not to start a war ok and i know what you mean by peace but....................BRITAN IS THE BEST
look i don't think america is crap thats what i said but the guy who started this is should respect their elders who no longer live in castles and only the old people drink tea and i have said that we wong a battle agenst them so. America is very good i like it........................................BUT BRITAN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry I spelt won wrong and the only people who drink tea bit is sarcastic
(i shall not disclose to you my nationality as you could accuse me of being a traitor or not listen to what i say due to my country)
let me prove each of your points wrong.
1) Victoria Beckham gets into your magazines and newspaper - there for is a celebrity, she has appeared in american media more than British.
2) Your seriously saying America is better than England because you drive on a different side of the road? grow up
3) who invented football? the English, and there are over billions of FOOTBALL fans the world over, without them there wouldn't be any family sit down EVERY YEAR the world cup is on and watch it with the people you love, supporting your country, that is football not a weedy drinking fest which has nothing on Oktoberfest by the way.
4) let me list a few countries Vietnam, the Phillipines, Iraq oh and the FAILED attempts on Canada, yes you couldn't take over Canada when you tried.
5) its very much illegal thank you very much, pedophiles are being arrested for possession of child pornography.
6) have you never seen Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Faulty Towers, Black adder, Monty python etc - Classic and timeless British Films/TV shows... sorry what has America recently produced - Justin Bieber-Never say Never?? i rest my case
your an ignorant American who thinks his Country is the best.
There is no country the best, America has done countless horrible things, Google My Lai massacre and read how it was tried to be covered up, search how America refused Vietnam their elections because they didn't like what they believed in YES AMERICA REFUSED ELECTIONS TO TAKE PLACE because they didn't like what the results would have been, that is hardly any country i would even begin to respect
oh yeah i forgot about black adder and stuff like that, oh yeah do you have any famous landmarks that wern't made in other countries. and you
Not only did you get ur facts wrong (when in gods name did Germany invade england?) but u managed to show the world pure American arrogance, again... Ur like George bush, just not as funny! And, anyway, how do u know that ur not of English ancestry? All of u, just understand that u knocked the native americans out of a country and put them in 'reservations' like animals... And by the way, I have perfect teeth...
P.S u left ur hamburger, or is it a gun? Not sure...
Ignorant, arrogant, untrue, ridiculous. In what way does driving on the opposite side of the road make America superior to Britain? Plus, none of us really care about Victoria Beckham, Germany NEVER invaded and/or occupied London during the Second World War, Child Pornography is sick and ILLEGAL here, more people worldwide play "Soccer", the true football, than your football; not that i'm saying that its inferior, but proclaiming that your football it is the greatest sport in the world is a bit arrogant. And to say that England produced a single, crappy film, as opposed to say, some of the garbage that places like Hollywood produce, is a bit hypocritical. I'm not going to go on about "How England is the greatest country in the world", yet i can think of at least a dozen things that we beat America in.
You are a cmplete idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! England was never invaded by Germay in world war 2. Football (soccer) involves only touching the ball with your feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reatrd
I would just like to point out that (even though I am a PROUD Englishman - descended from the very same English people who actually built modern America....) that Football is called such not because the ball is kicked, but due to the game being played on foot.
Soccer (as the American's call it) was originally the British nickname of the game (being as an abbreviation of Association Football) which was used to differentiate it from Rugby Football - which of course would be taken to the US and watered down into what the world calls American Football. Which nobody outside of the US really gives a damn about unless it's the Superbowl - which is when non American's try and get an inkling of why it's actually popular in the US. In general, outside the US nobody gives a damn about American Football, whereas English Football is the biggest sport on the planet. That won't change.
Due to his obvious hatred of the English, Sepp Blatter, the tool in charge of Fifa has decided that China invented the game. Which is bullshit. There was a game played in China which involved kicking a ball, but it really wasn't too similar to what is played today. His claim that the English transported the game from China is a false, as there are records of a similar game being played in Britain LONG before we had contact with the Chinese - Blatter conveniently forgets that - but as he wanted to spread the game further into the Chinese territories he decided it would be politically sound to spread the fallacy of the Chinese inventing the game.. It's English. Then again, false history is constantly being rewritten as fact - ie that Muslims invented Algebra even though it was known long before the time of Mohammed. The majority of "Muslim" discoveries were from translations into Arabic and then a little bit of working on - then claiming the credit. Oh, and most of the discoveries during Islam's golden age were by Jews and Christians in the Ummah anyway.....
It's like saying that American Football was invented by the Chinese due to the similarities between that sport and Rugby, and in turn the old Chinese game.
This is the most poorly written, completely biased, entirely uninformed, and rudely presented excuse for an article that I have ever had the misfortune of reading. Reasons why it is as such are as follows: 1) You are rascist. Because your co-worker comes from Great Britian, you decided that it was alright for you to poke and prod him with questions that he might not even care about.
2) The war was over 230 years ago. Get over it.
3) If a person from Great Britian said to your face that he hated your favorite celebrity, you'd either go off on a rant about why that person is so wonderful or get in a fight with said person.
4) It does not, for any reason or purpose, matter which side of the road a country drives on! Furthermore, it is not possible for 75% of the world's population to drive on the left side of the road. Think of how many countries don't have cars for the masses. There is no correct side of the road to drive on.
5) Great Britian has rugby, and they consider the game of football to be ridiculous. The Super Bowl does not matter to them.
6) America is larger than Great Britian. For this reason, we can support more people, allowing us to have larger fighting forces. Great Britian is not as large as America. They can't support as many troops as America can, therefore, it would potentially be easier to conquer them. I'm not implying that it is, but that would come as a disadvantage.
7) Different countries have different rules and ethics. Just because America says one thing does not mean that the rest of the world must follow suit.
8) America has had their fair share of bad movies. They've also had the fair shares of a good portion of the rest of the world. Some of the best movies that I have personally seen were set in Britian with British actors.
9) The nuclear bomb was the worst thing to ever happen to human history. It killed and hurt so many people. I can't believe that anyone would ever be proud of this slaughter.
Look up your facts before you decide to start calling people out like that again.
Just thought I'd put this in to point something out. (I'm neither British or American :D)
For #2 when you talk about the "RIGHT" side of the road, you say that because only 25% of the world follows the driving on the left rule, America wins for that one- THIS IS SO HYPOCRITICAL
May I have the pleasure to remind you of the METRIC SYSTEM.
Only the U.S.A, Liberia and Burma still use this. That's 3 out of 195 countries in the world. 3/195=0.0153846154%
The Celsius v.s Fahrenheit situation is another example dieing to be used.
Only the U.S.A and Belize use Fahrenheit now. That's even MORE absurd. 2/195?!?!?
2/195=0.0102564103
Lastly, American English. Out of the (around) 64 countries where English is an official language, the U.S.A is the ONLY country to use that spelling. Out of the pack, you are the weird ones ;)
So, I say that, if you can say that England is "worse" because they drive differently, then I can say all of the above.
This argument is pointless. No one chooses where they are born, their parents do. It is not fair to declare one nation better than the other for all nations are equal. We are all trying to live and we must all unite as one. Be children of the Earth and lose your self identity as a child of a certain nation. :)
No thanks! this country, Britain , is responsible for most of the Inventions and modern sciences and developments over the last five hundred years and the Americans have been responsible for quite a few over the last 230 years, ( before they were British America and called the 13 English colonies) this includes Law and politics, medicine , geology and too much in endless lists to relate here.
Why as an Englishman who can trace my ancestry back to Edward the confessor whos family has taken part in small capacities across the centuries in everything from Magna Carta to the discovery of Radar want to be equal with some Arab or African desert or Jungle nomad who have advanced no further than an ant with broken legs in 40000 years
I am an Anglo Saxon an Englishman and British and I would like to stay that way not be part of your daft world order where everybody no matter how talentless is denigrated to the same status regardless of roots or history or even merit.
Sorry for posting the message three times in a row. I guess thats what I get when using an Eco Friendly PC. :)
Recycle!
Scrolling down the miles of comments on this quite frankly ridiculous article it seems that although there plenty of comments on who is best at world wars (a desirable quality apparently?) theres little on what the writer has said.
I am British but I think that's irrelevant if you actually read it. That whole rant about the redcoats and paying taxes to the King of England is bollocks. Theres some facts you can find throughout the comments that make sense such as England was ruled by parliament then not the king, a lot of the fighting the 'redcoats' did was stopping the French taking over from Canada and many of the 'founding fathers' actually did a lot more harm then good.
The Brit in the story that said the Queen handed over control in 1976 is a load of crap it's simply the bi-centennial with a couple of stamps released. Although from the sound of the guy writing I'd make something like that up just to wind him up. Then that bit about arrogance and acceting the US formed a country all by itself *bless* is hilarious.
Then he reels off the worst 6 reasons for the US being better. I could of picked 6 for him out my arse that would of been better although I would sadly be able to pick far more for the other side.
1. Victoria Beckham
You could of picked anyone from Britain here. The fact that I live here is good enough reason to tell you shes not really celebrity here at least not current. Yes in the 90's maybe when the Spice Girls were at their height but not today. Come watch ITV2 over here for a few hours, Victoria Beckhams got nothing on how bad some celebrities are over here. (google Kerry Katona, Katie Price, Peter Andre)
2. Driving on the right
It's true the majority of the world drives on the right and us 'backward brits' drive on the wrong side of the road in our black cabs and double deckers. The reason we drive on the left is because we drive right hand drive cars and its easier to drive with the driver in the centre of the road.
Besides Britain has done a hell of a lot more to contribute to the modern car then America and surely have some stake and right to drive where they want. (off-topic : much the same as the worlds time goes off what time it is in Britain)
Americans drive poorly built automatic cars as well. What the fuck?! I know theres a lot more straight roads in America but seriously? In Britain automatics are laughed at for being 'easy', 'glorified go-carts' and for people who can't drive. Gears make the car more efficient and more fun to drive. Can't drive, get an automatic.
3.Football
Massive hole you've dug here. I like football but I also like American Football.
Simple principle: what got invented first and what the majority of the world call it surely gets claim to the name. American football is a slower safer game of rugby (also liked by mor of the world then american football). What you call 'soccer' the world calls football whilst playing in the world cup goverened by FIFA (guess what the 2nd F stands for?)
Its good when you put this thought with the earlier comment of America not being arrogant.
That alcohol bit as well is bollocks. Not proud of this and its prtty dud ammo but I'm pretty sure the whole of Britan (60million odd) drinks more than 110000 light beer fans in one Saturday night never mind a weekend. (We're grown up enough to drink at 18 anyway).
4.London was taken over and occupied by the Germans
Yes read that again.
Just to anyone wondering if this is true it's not. Google it if you have to but you'll only find this site claiming it.
London was bombed in the war in a terrible event known as the blitz. The writers view is though that because America has never been invaded their better. If America was only 2 hours flight from a country it was actually having a proper war with before we had fighter jets that could shoot them down, it too I'm afraid would be bombed. Britain has had far too many wars mainly because its older then 200 years and have held pretty good on its own considering its 40x smaller then America.
Winston Churchill is one of the greatest individuals in recent, nay entire human history. If he wasn't there the war would of gone the other way. (And don't bring the whole America saved us shit because put it down on paper America meerly helped (and not as much as you think))
Bad mouthing him with lies there's no proof of (drinking?) is embarrasing you more then him. Voted Time's most influential leader, he's up there with Mandela and Jesus if he existed. the paragraph ends with an off-topic sentence about driving(?)
5. Child pornography
It's sad this has to come up so I'll try and keep it brief.
The pornography referred to is by a American photographer Nan Goldin and nothing ever came of it because there was nothing. The girls in the photo were found to be of legal age. A poor tasted joke is then made here about child pornographys fine if its a girl.
Does the article actually imply child porography is not illegal in Britain?! As a law student I'm gonna have to stop you there and refer you to the Protection of Child Act 1978, Criminal Justice Act 1964, Sexual Offence Against the Person Act 2003 and a lot more common law. (Those years refer to the latest edition of the act not when they were written before just so idiots with no knowledge of working law outside of tv understand.)
Also why this point? A famous member of our country did this so we all do? Prince Charles is a massive racist doesn't mean we all are. Harold Shipman is one of the biggest serial killers of all time, doesn't mean all our doctors are. The president at the writers time of writing was George Bush doesn't mean...
6.King Ralph?
Yeah I didn't get this either. A quick IMDB check shows that King Ralph is a 4.1/10 rated AMERICAN film from 20 years ago. An American wrote this, an American directed this and Americans put all stereotypes in this film for both us and themselves. The word pointless doesn't do this point justice.
When I started writing this I tried to keep as level headed and non bias as possible throughout which I lost a bit in the middle I'm sorry. I have NOTHING against America, I've been there 4 times and loved it and its 'I can' rathere than 'can I' attitude I feel us Brits sometimes have. The majority of peole were fine with just a few knobheads like ANY country in the world. It's only a problem when one of these knobheads puts his crayon written ramblings on the web to provoke people.
If anyone disagrees with what I've said please comment if it'll lead to a sensible structured argument.
Sorry about the length but to summarise;
J.B Hour: Massive cunt, tiny cock.
you idiots we basically have all the same stuff exept different accents and call things differently just fucking well grow up you americans your the idiots who bloody started this and i'm a fucking 12 year old writting this
you Americans say you are fighting the war on terror
your government funded the IRA, on of the biggest terrorist organizations of its time.
Basically you funded a terrorist organization that was blowing up part of a country which you claim is your ally
look if it was not for Europe and the UK America would not exist.
we discovered you remember
and if it was not for america there would be allot less wars because we dont kill people for oil
so go back to you wars and McDonald you sister shaggers
Majority rules ey?
Then why did you lose to the minority in Vietnam?
Americans were minority against the native Americans, and you managed to f**k them up didn't you.
Also, where the hell did you hear that London was occupied in world war II? The Nazis held the Channel islands, not London. If your arrogant and patriotic education system would teach you geography instead of how to be an ignorant
a-hole, maybe you would realise that the channel islands are not even part of England.
Now I'm not being patriotic, I hate our idealism of worthless celebrity's and f**king football just as much as you do, but you need to get your facts right before you go into a random arrogant rant and post it for everyone to see and I'm sure I am not the only person who has said this. I hope you realise just how pig-headed you've been from the amount of complaints you've had and I doubt you even care.
To be trueful, I see America as Europe's child. We raised you, cared for you and fed you, but know you have reached the adolescent stage you have basically started to act like an unruly teenager. You never listen to any other country's advice or views, ( want to hear a joke? Americas foreign policy.Ha!) you keep picking fights with country's that can't fight back, or an enemy you can't defeat with your idea of warfare(yes, I'm talking about the Taliban)hence the reason the USA has never been taken over. Also, your country seems to believe that it has a wealth of experience and knowledge. Considering the USA doesn't have a history anywhere near as long as us, I think you're in no position to lecture ours and as for your intelligence, you're the only country that has ever had a completely pointless and unnecessary fight with a superpower that almost resulted in nuclear apocalypse. We may have taken our part in the cold war, but as your allies we all know who started the cold war and it wasn't Russia. Also, now that I'm on the subject of Russia, I would just like to point out that they won world war II, not you and us. They brought the third Reich to its knees, literally crushing the last Nazi resistance and built themselves an empire in the process . Not bad for a Commie country huh? But I must admit, it was an empire built on death and suffering, although that is how empires are always built. But I digress. The author of this post probably won't read this and his country's propaganda and blessed ignorance has probably killed any sense of reasoning and reservation he had a long time ago. He probably wouldn't even understand this post with his perverted American language that soils the century's old English language.
to be honest, I feel that I have wasted my time with another fat,stupid stereotypical American. Please America, change your god dam stupid reputation.
A seriously annoyed 16 year old Englishman.
Plus you guys speak English - couldn't come up with your own language?
We win.
Well this is stupid.
You're ignorant, it's as simple as that.
You talk about our leaders being stupid when you've had dishonest presidents and ridiculously stupid people leading your own country. I have nothing against America or Americans but you give Americans a bad name, you really are just an idiot.
Britain has never 'just sat on the side lines' in fact they were the first country (with France) to declare war against the Nazis and God knows they put everything into ending the war. Oh and a little heads up because we wouldn't want you failing history: Britain was never invaded. Nazi Germany attempted to take London however the Royal Air Force (RAF) eventually managed to take down the planes bombing London.
Silly boy.
Let's get multicultural in here, shall we? So after reading four full pages of piss fights that contradict themselves beyond normal logic. I've come to assume that everyone will use circular logic to counter one another.
So to sum it up here's my view as a un-biased individual.
England= old world
U.S= modern world
OH! and to add more piss-fights in this, I've been to England and as a foriegner, their so called "gangs" are pussies just like the american "wangsters". I've been around the world and honestly the only difference between America and england is the Land mass.
Now who will play into my "set-up" and entertain me?
Let's just put it this way:
The author of this post is the most retarded dog shut fuck head I have ever met;
America and England both have faults;
Australia > England > America
America is NOT the strongest country in the world, it did NOT win WW2, WW1, Vietnam or any war since on it's own,
And that America, just like Great Briton before it, is losing it's influence and power.
The yanks on here ought to look into where the wealth of the Bush family comes from but to help them along here's a clue.
The Bush family wealth comes from dealing with Nazi industrialists to supply materials and funding to the German war machine. This is typical of how Americans do things, Iran contra anyone or the supplying of the Taliban with weaponry which is now being used against coalition forces.
As for empires, well the British Empire is the largest the world has ever seen and even today in the guise of the Commonwealth over one third of the worlds population falls under the monarchy.
The SAS is head and shoulders the most elite of the ELITE and trains the US special forces, the difference being that the SAS officers take about 2 years of specialist training while their US counterparts take only six months.
Should there ever be a conflict between the UK and US the first thing that would happen is the US leaders would be killed by SAS operatives and the yanks wouldn't even know they were coming. After that bit would be a rudderless US army shorn of it's military tacticians, poor that they were. They would be facing not just the British forces but those of the Commonwealth countries and while technology would be marginally in the US favour the mass of firepower would rest wit the British & Commonwealth. The deciding factor though would be the far superior military tactics employed by the British, tactics learned over 1000s of years in numerous conflicts in which England were the victors.
Americans don't have the backbone for the toughest wars and it's citizens can't handle the the atrocities that would e visited upon them. Neither do they have the ability to endure in the way that the British do, no one does, it's a unique quality we have that's admired by the world, we're never beaten ever!
Get it!
Ok you stereo-type the British and I will stereo-type the Americans. They are lazy hamburger eating coke drinking sons of whores. And you copied our language because you are too dumb. Oh and you must be so proud of what you did to Japan! I mean good on ya! Wiped out loads of innocent people who had nothing to do with the war.
You stupid no good fucking prick!... If you knew anything about America you would know for one we don't only eat Fastfood and you fucking people act like you don't even eat shit but there's FAT people in England you fucking idiot.
And we copied your language?... HAA! for one we don't talk like we got something under our fucking tongues, we actually talk right and people can actually understand what were talking about, and if you want to keep saying we stole "your" language then I guess you better tell that to every other fucking country who speaks english you fuck.
And how the FUCK do you know what really happened in Japan?.. If you actually knew then you would know the reason why we bombed them fucking CHINKS, yeah you remember Pearl Harbor?.. Probably not you dipshit... I will give you a bit of a History lesson then.
Pearl Harbor: Was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941 (December 8 in Japan). The attack was intended as a preventive action in order to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan was planning in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.
You see you say we bombed Innocent people, but yet the military of Japan was the ones who initiated that whole war first killing thousands of innocent people in Hawaii... So you and the rest of the people who think we killed innocent people, your right!.. But those Japs started the war killing innocent people so we retaliated!!!... So FUCK ALL OF YOU!
I actually like the US but its people like you who give it a bad image. And by the way you think you kicked the UKs arse but considering the only real americans are native americans who do you think your ancestors are related to. Um... the french, the spanish... and the british! Way!
You should go to hell for this you FEB... I don't wish death upon no one but when you start talking like this, I can only hope one day England gets it, and I hope the get it HARD!... Fucking cunts
'England is racist, especially Liverpool... Black male or female walking peacefully then what happens you end up dead.'
Considering Enland is the most multicultural, tolerant country in the world, this is simply bullshit. Where is your evidence?
OH! and to add more piss-fights in this, I've been to England and as a foriegner, their so called "gangs" are pussies just like the american "wangsters".
And this is a bad thing exactly? And also, this too is completely untrue. Idk where in the Uk you've been, but gangs in England, especially London would certainly not be classified as 'pussies' by any standards, with two gang-related, shootings of innocent people last week alone. Just like your fucking stupid florida gang who shot our British tourists. There is no difference between the gangs in America or England.
Oh dear far too many comments to look at....and there are soooooo many at least you americans speak English of sorts one can undertand them,Gawd Bless...
Forgotten where you've come from!!!!!!!!!! You are majority British blood and you mightn't have liked paying taxes to an English King......... but that you are British in origin and its plainly obvious........what language do you speek.....chinese?????
dude WTF? Occupied London??? Where the fuck did you look on the internet??? Germany never even crossed the channel!! I'm surprised any website even says that, holy shit there are some dumb asses out there
Lol..how funny!! America was home to native indians, who were invaded by Britain... Thereafter the USA was formed... Another UK produced illegal state... Killed tha native people and to form a new country and u say u have nothing to do with UK!!!
Oh dear. England is better than America in so many ways, and vice versa.
you prick, im not even gonna start to pick you up on all the bullshit facts, at the end of the day mate, im from england, im 17, and i can safely say, you'll never have half my intelligence, and im no genius. twat
I dont know about you Brits but America could careless right now on whose better because were to busy to well not to be happy for a death but kill the #1 terroist in the world...and America would appreciate it if you just let us look back on 9/11 and be happy that the world is just a little bit safer without the comments on america and how were "horrible". Thanks!!
How can a country take pride in the killing of another human, even if he did do some horrible things. Before you say anything there were terrorist attack on the UK as well, i'm not talking about the IRA which was funded by the US government, i'm talking about Al Qaeda. They affected everyone over the world and i think most people in the UK agrees that you should not shoot an unarmed man, he should have been captured and brought to trial and pay for what he did.
Im from Africa. And from what I hear, America is much more advanced, much more inteligent, much more glorious, and much more civilized than England. But hey, what do I know.
Why the hell does all the tea sippers think we dont have an education? I just finnished earning my masters degree in astronomy from rice. Im pursuing a career in physiology. The only education england gets is Hogwarts school of witchcraft and masturbation. Fuck off pricks.
dont forget Oxford and Cambridge. Two of the best unis in the world. All but one of the Ivy league unis in America where founded by the British.
You can say that, but then again you obviously aren't aware that England hosts one of the best educational systems in the world. There's a reason why 76% of students who study outside of their home country originally applied to Universities in England. That means if you round up all foreign students in any higher educational system in the world, 3/4 of them would have attemped to come to England first.
wow so ignorant. germany never occupid london or england infact! you know what sod it your not worth my time, your just a troll!
All nations were formed by tribes/territories/country's banding together to fight a perceived enemy.
Even if the USA had not fought a war of independence, it would be a interdependent, democratic country today. Like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, to name a few that were under British control.
All empires rise and fall and it looks like it's the US's turn to fall.
Have you ever wondered how a bankrupt nation like Germany, before WW2 could afford to go to war. What country was bankrolling a country that was ruled by racist fascists? What country has a long history of supporting nations for their own imperialistic ambitions only to have it blow up in their faces?
Association football, Rugby football, American football, Baseball, Cricket and Basketball are stupid games that drunks shout at all over the world.

Hey idiot, the soil you're standing on right now was occupied by the English, Spanish and French in that order, I believe. Now about Alaska, you idiots didn't even have the balls to take it, you bought it from Russia.
Now, let's talk about right side of the road. What the fuck does it matter about the sides of the road in the USA and England? That makes no fucking sense whatsoever to the subject, but let's carry on.
Football-.. Wait what? Do you actually think that your shitty copy of European rugby can beat our own football, or how you idiots call it, soccer? Where the fuck did you pick this word up from, soccer. I knew Americans were dumb, but jeez.
Pornography. Talks the motherfucking country which is the main producer. Jesus fucking Christ.
And last but not least, educate your fucking kids. From about 250 million citizens in USA, 200 million are dumb as a brick. You fuck-faces only eat KFC and Burger King.
I wasn't sure whether this was troll or not until I saw "London was invaded by the Nazi's."
anyone who has the most basic understanding of history knows this isn't even close to being true.
For god sake
I am 13 and not the patriot i have an iq level of 139
Which is higher than john f kennedy,and i'm british because
I am from wales,in britain we have invented more bemeficial
Things to help the global community than the americans and
The americans have done alot to., but listining to the banter on here
Is foolish
1.london was not invaded
2.britain is about 1/32 of the size of the U.S.A
3.have u ever heard of the saying the sun never sets on the
United kingdom because we as a united people conquerd most of
The land mass around the globe
4.the science and astrological advancements of the british community
Have improved the way america works
5.and do not forget that every american is technically an immigrant because christopher columbus founded the country and he was austrian the same as hitler who was extremly intelligent even though he was mad
6.charles darwin the most important explorer/researcher ever discoverd that some species evolve to fit their needs in order to survive the aka the theory of evolution
7.also if it wasnt for a german u wouldent have the god damn atom bomb in the first place
8.so before starting international arguments on situations that u have no clue about think first on what we have done
Oh yeah and by the way america is not the most powerfull country its actually equal to russia and britain and germany which where classed as super countries long before the U.S.A.
Yeah well im 13 too and american and you better get your facts straight cuz Christopher Coumbus DID NOT found America as in the United States...he actually sailed to somewhere in the Caribbean.
He Yankee doodle....
Your ancestors are the losers and fuckups from a few hunderd years ago and cross the ocean.
So your gen pudle is more shit than the aussies, that were prisoners.
Jesus Christ, what's with all the hate? I'm pretty sure neither America or England could have done half the things they did without the other one helping them. We need each other. If there's no America, England can't say they're better, and without England, America can't say they're better.
Haha what a absolute dumb cunt, you know that Americas the big fat smelly bully with no real friends, the one that as he gets older more and more people start standing up to him until he gets depression and commits suicide. We'll Americas foreign policy is it's own deathwish. 911 wasn't an attack because they don't like westerners (which they mostly don't) but because america is a snide country that profits from the misery of others. Exploits misery for their own gain, that's the american government.. the people however are close eared, close minded, fat, loud and ignorant.( a majority of them anyway).
Yes as well as you DUMB cunts, that know absolutely know nothing about American Literature, but of course as we can see from all the posts that Britian, England, UK whatever the fuck you call that washed up good for nothing country of yours thinks you know everything which in all reality don't know jack shit... And you talking like that about 9/11 I only hope you see what happened here go on in your country, and if I were you which I'm glad I am not, better hope and pray to GOD that you don't ever witness what happened here.
So you disrespectful FEBs need to learn how to choose your words more wisely.
And you and all your Englishmen think Americans are lazy, close minded, fat, ignorant, and close eared?... why don't you focus on the people you live with and the people who live in England, look around because I bet you the majority of those people will be just like the ones here in America.. Apparently you and your fellow fucks are a bit to judgmental and need to get lifes!
Oh and if nothing us Americans say about you idiots is true then why do you people get defensive over everything we have said about you guys?.. The guy who made this page, why not just tell him to STFU and get on his way, instead people like you have to blow shit out of proportion and start whinging, all you people are is attention seeking basket cases!... Go fuck off, because what you say about Americans some is True, but a lot of those true statements go both ways for your country and mine!... and a lot of what you people say is False, again goes both ways for each country.
How stupid and ignorant are you? Something like that did happen to us IT'S CALLED THE BLITZ , So many people died during the Blitz, and also, London was bombed a few years after the 11/9, And people died, so dont try and act as if America is the only one who has experianced a tradegy like that. Dissrespectful insufferable man!
if you hate england then you hate yourself as you have no history so all your history has come from britan so your just saying how bad you are yourself
I very rarely go on the internet but reading all of the above junk from both sides of the Atlantic, and peoples ignorance of history and present day facts, I would suggest that the vast majority of you - British and American - need to get a life, or a taste of the real world. My son actually asked me to read this so don't bother replying to this you sad bunch of losers - I have a life and it will be months before I bother reading any more of this crap. Take care.
Your all gay and im an american necro and I would love to rape your dead bodies.
And america has chuck norris and thr right to bear arms so we are better lol.
RESPECT YOUR SUPERIORS!
You shouldn't call people anything unless your able to think for a few seconds, which you are incapable of apparently. You are the type of people dragging America down,
"i would love to rape your dead bodies"
What the hell is wrong with you? And yes, you have guns, but whats the point in having them if your dumb ass country are going to use them against each other.
Stfu you inbred monkey i can be a necro if I want to and In America we dont always have to get the police to defend us, we can do it ourselves.
Stfu you inbred monkey i can be a necro if I want to and In America we dont always have to get the police to defend us, we can do it ourselves.
England sucks! A nation of whinging, self-centered hypocrites, who cannot do anything for themselves yet really believe they accomplish things! There is nothing in this country worth exporting, the government is pathetic, the 'English' are so far up their own arses they are truly shit heads. The list goes on and on and on, so if you want to do some country bashing start with the English, this wee little island of miserable, self important losers.
I would like to point out a few facts that are wrong.
There is no such thing as a British accent. The UK is made up of four countries, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Hence, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Each of these countries have different accents so there is no such thing as a British accent.
The Queen of England has not existed since 1707 when the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland merged to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. It was this that what is now the first thirteen states of the USA gained their independence. The Kingdom of Great Britain lasted until 1801 when Ireland joined the union. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was formed. This lasted until 1922 when part of Ireland split to form the Iris Free State (now Republic of Ireland) and The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Not all British drink tea, that is a stereotype. Like that of all Americans been fat.
There is no right or wrong side of the road. The only reason people in America and other parts of the world say this is because they drive on the Right hand side and we the British drive on the left.
Half of the movies which claim that America saved everyone during the wars are false. The Americans came into WW1 one year before it finished when much of the fighting was done. They entered WW2 after Pearl Harbor when they had an excuse to.
I would like to point out that America has never won a war by itself. The Civil War does not count because its a Civil War.
I would also like to point out that while America has had one civil war. England, Scotland and Ireland had one each. King Charles the First was the king of these three countries. He was also descended from the Scottish Royalty as the last English monarch was Queen Elisabeth the First who died in 1603. The crown of England and Ireland then went to the King of Scotland and the Unions formed over the next few centuries. Now back to the Civil Wars. Each of these Countries was fighting the get rid of the King. They were successful and Oliver Cromwell became the First Lord Protector. He was Followed by his son who ruled for a short time before abdicating and then the crown went to Charles the Firsts son Charles the Second. (Both were Unpopular). To this day, Richard Cromwell is the Oldest Peron to have ruled these countries.
When we had a Lord Protector, the three countries were officially a republic. Even though the Lord Protectors were offers the Crown to become King and were styled as Your Highness.
The Queen is head of 16 commonwealth realms which are independent from each other but share the same head of state.
If you read all that fine if not who cares.
I agree with all of that apart from you saying Charles II " the merry Monarch" was un-popular, he was actually loved by many, most people apart from the puritans, and a few others.
Okay. First of all: just no. Why are you arguing over language? There is English and American English. They are similar but not exactly the same. Arguing over it will not change how both countries speak. Accents aswell.. Why? There are loads if different accents in the UK (eg. Cockney, Stokie, Liverpudlian etc) and probably even more in the US. What does it matter? Another thing, war? Both America and Britain have great military services, Americas is probably better than Britain's but who cares? We're allies anyway. Jesus christ! I'm sorry but what's with all the criticism about obese people? That's hardly the country's fault. Right? Yes, Britain and America have obese citizens. Yes, it's becoming an increasing problem for both countries. Why does it matter? And the thing with the tea? What the hell? We have allies who have stood by us no matter what, and all we can do is criticise racially? Well I'm ashamed of all of you. And what does it matter about when America gained independence? As far as I'm concerned that was in the 18th century. The fact of the matter is we have independence and we should be grateful for that. Yes, both nations are probably told White lies about the wars to big the country up. Atleast it's not like north Korea, where they only show the world cup matches they win. Every country has their downfalls, count yourself lucky you aren't living in a third world country (aimed at both Britain and America).
Chuck Norris would fuck up any country and you know what both the U.S and England suck but England sucks more because they dont have Chuck Norris...
P.S necroplilia is cool.
that was the worst most bias thing i have ver written, i've took history into further education and to my belief england was never occupied by any german soldiers, let alone the capital, also, football was invented in england, in addition to the car, or at least in a country near to it, why shouldn't our way be right? england had these thing before america, how is a game using hands considered to be football more than a game reliant on feet? From someone who wants to move to america.
Jesus this is gay FUCK ALL YOU INBRED ANIMALS YOU ARE SPREADING AIDS AND FAGGOTRY ALL OVER THE WORLD WHY CANT YOU JUST DIE ALREADY!!!!!!!111¡##111!!!!¡#¡.
when did the germans invade london? is london a country? pity we dont dont have decent writers in UK we only that that 'shakesbeer' guy..dammit...how does it go..''hey who wrote this crap?'' ah yes...
Meh you didn't kick us out, we just realised you were distracting us from at the time fighting our real rivals the French. But of course American's (usually from Irish descent, so hadn't even arrived in the country yet) always glaze over the help the French, Dutch and Spanish gave them. It was a civil war because both sides were British, understood...? Jolly good.
Also Germany never invaded us, they just bombed us. Your country has been invaded because that's how countries are started. Moreover the British invaded Washington in 1812, and burnt down your whitehouse. How many countries has America actually successfuly invaded when you've tried to overthrow 65 goverments in the last 70 years? and been kicked out of countries like Vietnam and Somalia. Like any country, your history books glaze over all this though. Plus your sucking Israel's cock, through all their illegal military exploits.
Moreover coffee takes too long to make, and our dental care is free, and statistics show that Germany and the UK actually have the healthiest teeth. Hell we've even taken Spiderman, Batman and Superman from you so hahaha.
That makes you people THIEF's, if it wasn't for America you people wouldn't have shit!... And for the people that come over from England to America to seek a better life because England SUCKS should all be deported! Because we don't want any of you fucking people.
But i'm sure none of those people would listen just because I know how arrogant and STUPID you people really are!... Like I said if it wasn't for America you people wouldn't know what to do, and you people damn sure wouldn't have FREEDOM!
Oh and not to mention, since everyone wants to talk about who invented this and that, America was the ones who created the Internet, but of course you British FUCKS think you people invented which is very false!
So if it wasn't for US you people wouldn't have a lick of Education, you scums!
and for the idiots who need enlightenment here it is...
The US created the first network ARPANET, which was attributed to a lot of people. Some worked on the hardware and others worked on packet switching etc.
This Tim Berners-Lee fellow invented the world wide web (WWW) for CERN to facilitate more effective sharing of information.
Al Gore created the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991, which help the form the internet as we know it in the US.
ha ha ha i think its time for you to wake up mate
weve been around on this planet a lot longer than u have
we owned half the world before you lot came along and i think youl find it was us who gave you your education not the other way around. Most of your citys and towns are named after places in england
face it you are a nation of imigrants mostly descended from the irish/africans the only true american people were the native indians but you hunted them down and murdered them all didnt you !
face it friend your country died the day president kennedy (one of the greatest human beings to walk on the face of this earth ) was shot dead by by people in your own government who have gone on to wage secret wars against countrys all over the world ,look what youve done to iraq and how many civillians your army have murdered! innocent men women childeren and babys its close to a million how can that be justified ? it cant
you should take a long hard look in the mirror my friend youd be nothing without britain!
see yal have a nice day now you hear ye ha
So do you think English and British mean the same thing? That being said, your use of the word "bloody" suggests you yourself ate from the UK or have adopted some of our expressions.
ok i heard a whole lot of shit against us brits first of the stuff about bad teeth is just a stupid sterotype just like us sayin the usa is full of fat assholes but its not true some are just skinny or average assholes oh and what really pissed me off that germany invaded englond and took london? what a load of shit everyone should know the germans couldent invade us our defences were too strong sure they could bomb us but we alwayes bombed back oh and 2 the whole britain is usa bitch thing just consider this the things our nation has achieved is outstanding considering our size and only a lone island we never got pushed around by you americans but think what you want you alwayes do but every country knows your wrong but i aint got nothing against normal americans but cunts like u who think u r better than every1 ha ha even if we did get in a war we would have the whole of europe and what country will side with u? think it through stupid idiots
Stop your whining, you pussy!... If you want to cry about it, cry to someone who actually gives a fuck!
You want to cry about how we have been stereo-typing but wtf are you doing?... You are stereo-typing, get a clue and worry about stuff that actually matters, because you and all of your fellow comrades are doing is whining.
Natural American Stupidity
1. The only war the USA has won is WW2 - by nuking not only the most christian of Jap cities, but thousands of innocents.
2. The Korean and Vietnam wars ended in truces/stalemates, 3rd world ragtag soldiers kicked your butts right back home.
3. War is a way of teaching americans geography.
4. what other sport besides NFL has obese men playing a completely senseless game in body armour because they are pussy's.
3. England was not invaded or occupied by the Germans, in fact Londoners showed more testicle fortitude against the Blitz than the Americans against the Japs, hence the need for Nukes.
4. Americans have a world series sport that involves, well ummm, americans. Unable to compete in sports such as Rugby or Cricket at an international level.
5. Americans are more fascinated by the English Royal Family than most of the Commonwealth nations combined.
6. In both World Wars America sucked ass and sat back on the sidelines showing their true cowardice while the majority of the free world and the communists fought it out, only entering WW2 when the Japs gave the US a good kick in the ass.
7. Japan outdid the US in everything from car production and technology to education since being 'defeated' in WW2, yeah those Americans really showed Japan.
8. Whilst claiming to be the most powerful country in the world, consistently exhibit levels of ignorance that should only be found in the most isolated villages in darkest Africa.
9. In the 20th and early 21st century the US has not fought a single major war without the help of its allies.
10. Americans lack so much originality and intelligence, that perfectly good comedy from Britain has to be copied, sanitised and dumbed down in order for americans to understand.
AND FINALLY
11. America spent $11billion on the stealth bomber only to have a bunch of scientists in Australia expose it to the world for a measly $1.5million.
12. American 'smart bombs' are incapable of actually hitting their designated targets.
America: Land of the falling IQ
Ow so glad the Americans stop in their country there all thick anyway, England rules.
lmao wat a fucking load of bollocks!!! you madbro?????? most fucking shit ive ever heard i swear england fucking owns american, learn fucking history u fat fuck, jesus, don t post shit on the internet u clearly know fuck all about! back to taco bell for you fat boy!!!!
fucking clown britain run your country most of your presidents are british your flag is based on ours even your national anthem is a british song ! talk about history got toilet blocks in england older than your joke of a country
seems to me like there are dumb people everywhere -- Britain, Iceland, and even in the US, where I've lived my entire life.
I'll preface my comments with a disclaimer of sorts: I am indeed proud to be an American, the world would be a sad place without British comedy (e.g. Monty Python, The Inbetweeners, and though it isn't a comedy program, Top Gear is key), and while Brits and Americans have their respective idiosyncrasies, both groups are better than those damned Canadians, yeah?
so...
many Brits are a bit stuffy; it's as if they're ability to be cool is hindered by -- i don't know -- something in the water. I mean, of course, many cool people have come from Britain. still, Americans have self-confidence, and with such confidence comes swaggerrrrr.
however, Americans could benefit from a few lessons in tact. then again, some Brits can be remarkably pretentious. (for empirical support of this claim, i could point to some of the comments made by presumably poor samples of British folks.) Perhaps British people show their ugly sides when they are compelled to defend their nation. I've seen it happen when my fellow Americans defend our citizens and culture.
Which brings me to the most personally disappointing reality of American citizens: a large portion of our education system is. flawed.
In general, Americans are more confident than the British, we don't have sticks up our asses and our noses in the air, and we're cooler than the British. Unfortunately, the American idea of what constitutes "cool" doesn't include being well-read, educated, or bright -- as long as you're cooool. it's a sad fact.
but yeah, ALL generalizations are bad (even that one lol).
anyway...TONS of adderall today, so i apologize for the dendritical course my rant has taken.
but ay, it should be noted that when a British person criticizes the American accent, they are effectively criticizing something that originally came from their country, so it's just silly and ignorant and shit as a serious argument.
(though poking fun at WEIRD British accents is great, just as it is probably very fun for Brits to speak in our WEIRD American accent. All that's in good fun, of course.)
my final, tortured point in a convoluted spiel: as noted, many Americans can trace their lineage to Britain, so it is illogical to criticize them, for without the British, we wouldn't have America as it is today.
Cheers. get a case of beer and some sock 'em boppers and settle this shit.
or -- woah, great idea here -- let's just go to war! US vs. Great Britain.
Hell. Yeah.
or -- better idea -- we could tag team the Canadians, particularly the French Canadians, and just beat the shit out of them. lol
ok a balanced view here
im an american born citizen but my dad is english so i wont bad mout either country
both of them are amazing countrys both have done amazing things (eg the brittish empire, the american revolution) the stero type that americans are fat is untrue yes some are fat but every country have fat ppl and the stero type that british ppl have bad teeth is untrue also same as the fat every country has ppl who have bad teeth
i wiil point out tho that the sterotype that brittish ppl drink tea alot can be true (my father drinks alot of tea lol) but not all of them drink it.
also the accent battle is stupid although my mom and dad both mock each other on there accents. i have an american accent but i sometimes use brittish words because of my dad and ppl find that really weird like i use mate and cheers when i mean thank you so yes a bit strange
to finish lets stop fighting and join together and take down countrys we dont like because the uk and usa together no 1 can stop us so stop fighting and take down canada,france,germany and russia the countrys no 1 likes lol
1. Victoria Beckham - irrelevant, although if you must know its David Beckham's wife who is going to coach LA Galaxy.
2. Driving on the left has its roots in history and falls into a the natural place of the left. If it stops you sleeping at night then hey, get a grip.
3. This is total bullshit, for a start football, what you call soccer (we invented a sport and called it football in the first place, and you stole the name) has the highest global television audience in sport.
4. You Mad? Winston Churchill overrated? He took out Hitler and ended the holocaust.
5. Child Pornography is illegal in the UK you spastic.
6 Never heard of the film, but how can you complain about the way we portray americans, where in every film you make the english character is always the villain or a throwback of some kind.
im thinking about visiting america in the not too distant future, i just hope you arent typical of the kind of people i will be sharing my time with there.
You English dumbfucks reacting so badly to this article just shows how pussy you all are. Your country sucks shit. Do your cities have lots of massive, shining skyscrapers like ours? Nope. Does your country have any major film studios? Again, nope (And no, don't bring fucking Harry Potter up, the whole franchise is just gay, and WE had to help you make that shit worth a billion dollars) Did your country invent the INTERNET like we did? Nope. Is your country free with the world's best army? Nope-diddly-ope. The only thing you got to show yourself off with is your music, and even then we are waaay better than you at thrash and death metal (the most talent-filled music styles in my humble opinion).
God bless America and our people, we could sweep the floor with you anyday. We kicked that Japanese-loving retard John Lennon's ass with a single bullet from Chapman, and that just shows how quickly you fall. Oh, and we beat you to killing Osama Bin Laden while you were having your teabreak.
Everyone on this website is soooo stupid, nothing but a bunch of brits and americans going back and forth!...little do any of you guys know, both england and america are probably the most hated countries in the world...all of you guys are only referring back to world war 2..but honestly america got its ignorance from england...for centuries england took over countries that they knew good and well weren't theirs, talking about how they wanted to "civilze" people..and america well is the most powerful country because they manipulate other countries...but when it comes down to it every country with a government is shitty!..which is the entire world..stop pointing fingers and try making your country sound better, because it makes you sound more ignorant..And why are you brits and americans fighting eachother you guys are allies, one of the most powerful allies in the world. America dropped a bomb on japan which also means england was backing them up the whole way, so really america and england dropped the bomb.
Fascinating that Americans actually think we give a flying fuck about what the good ole US of A thinks....take a trip anywhere through Europe, Middle East, South America or South East Asis for that matter ( As I have done) and you will see that, along with the UK they think your a bunch of egotistical psyhopaths with delusions of grandeur. Funny how many "canadian" badges magically appear on backpacks in these countries with the reality they actually are americans! Americans always give it the big one back inside their country but shit their pants when they are outside it unless you have a dumbass army and get fuckin shot! Deep down they know what idiots they are - after all England is just an island - end of and still continue to piss you off how funny is that! As for USA they are a massive population of imbeciles who still manage to fuck most countries up. without sorting their own. From Iraq to Cambodia and from Afghanistan to Chile you stick your big fat ass in there... Whether you drive on the right or the left who gives a fuck...try driving in the middle and do us all a fuckin favour!
You only shit yourselves when Japan bombed pearl harbour and again with 9/11...it still took you years to find osama and he was in the very country you gave billions of aid to! (lets forget about vietnam shall we!) American dumbasses still refer to english as tea drinking redcoats - who the fuck cares about that - get off your fat arses and see the world instead of passing judgement from your chairs whilst eating five times the size of an average meal! Mind you without you guys we wouldnt have crack cocaine, FBI (who couldnt find their owbn fuckin car keys!) oh and mcdonalds! Personally i dont give a fuck what you call our game - or for that matter how much watered down bottles of shite beer you think you can handle....having visited the USA its just embarrassing how fuckin retarded you lot really are..like i said get off your fat arses and mingle.....but then again that would be too easy..and of course you might actually realise that everyone hates you with a passion.....
Hello everyone,
I was reading this and i was shocked at what i am seeing, Why does everyone have these stereotypes of british people, and also to whoever made this article, What the hell is wrong with you? the nazis have never set foot in london, or this country for a matter of fact, anyway, all of you americans, You im afraid, are not the most powerful country in the world, china is, if you were to go against them, you would be destroyed! so hahahahaha, the only positive thing about your country has now gone, Beafor i read this article, I was a respecting person towards americans.
But now that is over, anyway, what exactly is wrong with free healt care in a country, we pay our taxes and so we deserve to have such a thing as this, so if you have an objection to england/ britain, pis* off, you are withput a doubt one of the most hated countrys in the world, So go away. also if you have an objection to us, go and get your own language, Instead of just ruining ours.
Go Britain!
p.s the u.s.a was taken over by many people, mainly us. yes we lost that war but, we havent been occupied by anyone since about 300 years ago so i think our two countrys our on a par there.
Thankyou and goodnight.
In 1942 England was invaded and occupied by its former subjects the Americans.
also, whoever said that the u.s.a would kick our ass in the war, wrong! just because you have a bigger army, doesent mean you would beat us, And we are a much more liked country than all of you, the whole of europe would help us out, and that would annihilate you! so haha. also, our country may have a smaller army, but we have more advanced technology, And if the population of europe (737 million) went against the 3oo and something million population of the us, i think we all know who would win, you have no allies! apart from us, so if you think you are so great, stop asking us for help in all your ridiculous war!
"Declare War on America" and you'd get whacked yes?
OK.......Funny HOW Al'Qaeda STILL haven't been whacked yet no? Also what about how HALF of the Middle East has been at War with you at one point or another and how Russia has run an undeclared war v you for YEARS yet guess what? They're ALL still here - Even Mexico is still there despite HALF of it's national terrotory being STOLEN by the US 2 centuries back
As to your shite about TV & Music? We ALWAYS had better Music than you - Look at most of the TRULY big WORLDwide bands of the last century or so and guess what? Nearly ALL of them were English/UK; Don't see many Americans there no? There's a REASON for that and TV/Films etc?
Well your Awards (Oscars etc) USED to MEAN something - They USED to be awarded impartially and NOT just part of a "Vote US" stitch Up (rather like the Vote ME stitch ups used by your last couple of presidents) Now? UK Television is SO good that even YOUR awards come to OUR actors/actresses with monotonous regularity.
I won't even SAY anything about Football or what you hilariously call 'soccer' no? Bar nearly ALL the world (75 % outside of the US' 25%) plays it in place of the Rugby with pads on YOU lot CALL football. By YOUR standards? That means OUR sport is FAR more popular.
But MOST of all you know WHAT you've overlooked? Your country is THERE because of us - We've had a few history programmes on recently with a few of our famous people looking at their ancestors and guess WHAT? Some of them had US ancestors and managed to trace Those ALL the way back to.........HERE where they originated. So? Guess that means that ALL your 'Patriots' 'Great Leaders', heck even your very LANGUAGE? And the legal system you FIRST based yours on? Came from...........Hard though this may be to believe.........US in the United Kingdom - WithOUT us? The United States would Not EXIST - At least not in the form it is today and has been for 2 centuries.
Yes you MAY be young, you may be brash and strong although having taken the BRUNT of the economic battering dealt out to the world recently? You're nothing LIKE as strong as you WERE (and it will ONLY get worse) but also? You're NOTHING on us as a STATE - WE have been a NATION for more than a THOUSAND years. That's Eight TIMES what the US has even EXISTED for and we were a Kingdom for another HALF a Thousand years BEFORE that. Basically? We've had the SAME type of head of state for the better part of the last 2,000 years; You can't even comprehend THAT level of national sophistication and organisation and much as the US has and has HAD power/influence around the world in recent years? You've had (and won't) NOTHING on the level of our one-time WORLDwide Empire.
The US? Great beacon for freedom & light as it undboutedly was and is? Is a BABY compared to that & us and as to going to war? Not really - I doubt we'd ever declare war ON the US again but come HERE and TRY and attack us.....Go on. You'd find JUST what the Nazi's once did. On our OWN ground? We're not to be beaten - EVER. We'd turn the whole COUNTRY into Stalingrad/Vietnam x FOUR. Your soldiers would be sucked in, chewed up and SPAT out by an absolute MEAT-Grinder before we'd EVER surrender (in case you've not guessed yet? We DON'T take kindly to invasions of our Isles, Ask Napoleon, Hitler & the Former Emperor of Germany to name but 3) Anyway, In the end? Your public would NOT stand for the level of casualties (and don't forget? WE have nukes to) we WOULD inflict on you and the damage we'd do - HOWever many troops you threw at us. You might win (temporarily) but? We'd BLEED you drier than a vampire and in the end? It WOULD be a Pyrrhic Victory that WOULD lead to your ultimate defeat and retiral from these Isles, NEVER to return. Not in Military Force anyway...............
So yes, The United States Might NOW be bigger, brasher and good to be as well as VERY strong (but still not HALF as strong as it once was - Nor WILL it be again). But? The United Kingdom has it's OWN qualities, special history and atmosphere and is not to be discounted when it comes to defending itself either. In the end? I'm sure those who LIVE in both? Prefer their OWN countries for whatever reasons and would NOT swap them - I for one do NOT like the arbitrary, haphazard way your authorities often DECIDE someone is guilty, lock them up for life (or death penalties) and REFUSE to hear ALL evidence that their decision just MIGHT have been? The WRONG one even when it so clearly? IS. I prefer OUR legal system which whilst longer? Is infinitely more BALANCED and does NOT lead to such MIScarriages of Justice as reguarly as yours seems to.
Also? "Little Brother"? No mate, we were Always FAR more sophisticated than THAT and had FAR more weight once and since the US (language & all) would not BE here without us? I think you're better off saying? The UK is more like the US's elderly father who was once great and respledent in his own time of power but now? Whose fallen on MUCH harder times and is a mere SHADOW of what he ONCE was. That's probably about as apt a description as you'll EVER get of the United Kingdom FROM an Englishman (me). Why is it SO apt? Simply because it's an accurate summation of precisely WHAT our countries are to one another as well as describing very well exactly What the UK now is......................
NB By the way to the IDIOT who described our Healthcare system as NOT working despite being free? Well I DON'T see the US' JOKE of a system (pay for treatment ALL the time or die on the roadside basically) as being ANY better - In Fact? It is a LOT, lot worse and that? CANNOT be argued with................
I'll just add to that OUR TV is now SO good? That the US Imports/STEALS the Production of OUR shows rather than the other way around as USED to be the case. You DON'T believe me? Britain's Got Talent, Torchwood, Doctor Who, X-Factor, Big Brother & Shameless - There you go - Off the top of my Head. Six shows the US has taken/copied from us in the past 5 years or so ALONE and I'm sure there's PLENTY more..........
NB Funny HOW the reverse has stopped though no? We DON'T copy US shows anymore - We don't even ADAPT them. Show them and repeats yes but Copy/Take OVER them? Why bother - We're in a FAR higher Class than them NOW when it comes to producing TV. Now? It's a case of WE lead, the US Follows. We even win ALL your TV awards (Grammys, Emmys AND Oscars) quite often now. We're in a class of our OWN now in that respect. The US does not come CLOSE to us. Thank God for that to after YEARS of Nothing BUT 'Hollywood' and bloody US Spoonfed crap like Friends & inummerable versions of CSI; Our NEW talent explosion on TV here? Is FAR better and more interesting - Long may it continue............
I wouldnt even start that right there. Number one who the hell is doctor who, torchwood, shamless and those other fucked up shows (other than x-factor). I mean i would understand if you said being human and thats pretty much it. Other than that were pretty much on our own. And dont even act like you think we follow you in the movie/TV industry cause we dont. So trust me you dont have to worry cause the last thing we want to do is copie one of your fucked shows (ex.skins btw which got cut from tv cuz of porn and was originally created in england)...so the last thing we want to do is make that mistake again. So go to bed in peace tonight cause we would NEVER COPIE ENGLANDS STUPID TV SHOWS.
Sorry - Double Print Grr!! Finally? To those saying the US Saved our backs in WWII? Yes but don't forget - Had they NOT? Then SOONER or Later? The US WOULD have faced a TWO-Front War themselves with the Japanese AND Hitler as WHO do you think he'd have gone after NEXT had he conquered the UK and Realised just WHAT the US were up to? He'd NOT have left you alone - THAT is for sure.............
NB WE Declared war on Germany anyway - The US joined in eventually yes but Only WHEN Japan attacked them - We attacked Hitler AFTER he stabbed Poland in the Back with the Russians. WOULD the US have joined in HAD Japan left them alone? Now THERE is a question of interest............
America is boring country and they act cocky as they are no.1 in economy world.They lowered their guard and many other countries passed them for 2-3 years if no longer.Best healthcare is nonsense if you eat burgers everyday.
Jamie Oliver wanted to do better and Americans proved they dont care about health at all.Yes because we have best healthcare.Its like technology vs nature,or mice vs dinosaur.
Anyways peace out
I'm a proud American and I know our country has flaws, as does every country out there. So the people on here bickering back and forth about "who is the better country" are just wasting their time. There is a difference between being patriotic and arrogant. There is no point in arguing.
Hasn't anybody noticed that this guy said the Germans successfully invaded and occupied London in WWII? Major LoL right there. . .
Why is everyone talking about war like it was your idea? You all make me sick the way you talk about it like it's macho, as if you are better because of your predecessors decisions. IT'S A WAR FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!! So many people have died because of both our countries! It's a pile of shit! You should be grateful we live where we do and aren't having American and English shells landing on your fucking house day in day out!!!! Learn to live together in peace or the world will always have dick heads, maybe if we treated people a bit better we wouldn't get fucking sickos blowing themselves and hundreds of innocent people to shit! Think about what you're talking about and have some respect for other people. Lot's of Yanks on here are talking about how big and powerful the US is, one of these days you will get fucked over and it's because of twats like you thinking that you can throw your fucking weight and money around!!!!!!! I don't understand why everyone is so negative towards each other, we both live in great countries that are full with great citizens, we have A LOT in common so take some time to talk and you will probably actually like each other.
And one more thing America... you speak our language, so all of you little bitches banging on about how shit England is, create your own language if you hate us so much you cunts.
I'm an Born American and proud of it, and I LOVE England my father has a place there I've been 8 times absolutely beautiful , when I was there you people were never this anger, you people welcomed me with open arms, but people on here you people should just brush away what this American cunt who made this page is saying, and you shouldn't antagonize people on here be the bigger person and just say Fuck it and don't try to retaliate.
We shouldn't fight over who is better and who isn't, England has flaws as well as America does... can we just move on?.. because one day this may turn into an actual war!
LETS GET OUR HEADS SCREWED ON RIGHT PEOPLE.
Let's Love All!!
wow!!!!!! reading this type of shit from both sides.is funny
now england is no better than america.and america is no better than england.
i have lived on both sides not in the high life the real life. where the real people are on both sides. good. honest. and hard working.
if ya gonna have a mamby pamby slagging match on who's the best.
try doing ya home work first. and bring a good debate to the table with truth and honesty.whats right and what is wrong with both countries.
that's what both countries lack. no balls for truth just run and hide spouting there mouths off.
have a good one wankers NO BRAINS
not all british people speak posh and what not, i quess you've never met the british chavs
not all british people speak posh and what not, i quess you've never met the british chavs
London wasnt occupied by the nazi's, and wasnt america close to joining the nazi's and the southern states sold weapons to the nazis. America is also globbally renound for being the most obese country, you ll eat huge amounts of fucking faty shit, i doubt yoiu even know what vegtables are. you screwed up the economy tons of times with bullshit morgages. statistically 1 in 10 americans are rascist against blacks latinos which is funny because like 30% of the population is black. Texans have sex with there own kids aswell
also china could bankrupt the usa because they have more us dollors lol
I thought this would be quite a laugh to read, and some parts of it were funny. Don't get me wrong, I've travelled around America and I love it, I even want to move to Pittsburgh in the future since I'm a Pens fan, but like every other blog in the world this is biased.
Firstly, I don't remember Hitler invading London. Churchill was a great man and his spirit was a contending factor in us holding out in the Battle of Britain. I will happily admit that you did save us however, but not as much as you believe. It's highly likely that, with the Battle of Britain already won, Hitler would have been forced into a stalemate having being unable to beat the British people with his air superiority, and eventually a peace treaty would have been formed. America joining the fight just ended things a bit quicker.
I'm not going to discuss your war with Japan, your leaders made a choice and I don't think we need to go over what happened, so we'll leave the Pacific theatre out of this.
England driving on the wrong side of the road - I totally agree with this, clearly we drive on the wrong side of the road compared to the majority 75% of the rest of the world, HOWEVER! Romans were the first people to use roads so vastly, with horses and carriages, and they used the left hand side. Over time obviously things changed, but the left hand side was the first, so if anything you guys need to switch lanes.
I still find it silly how American Football is actually called Football, considering the majority of the game is played with your hands. Also, American Football is an evolved form of Rugby, which was 1823. Football was being played back in Ancient Greece. The timeline is this: Football------------------------------------------------------------- Rugby --- American Football ----- This blog.
As for Posh Spice, no one give's a damn about her, the only reason we see her in the papers is because she's married to one of our national FOOTBALL players.
Anyway, good read ^^
If all you don't like the way us Americans do things, then please by all means STAY where you are!.. we don't want your dirty "Rubbish" here in America then.
But if you do decide to move here which you probably will because you people don't listen anyways. So I wouldn't expect you to listen now. But if you do decide to move here then the crap you're talking about America, you're going to have to learn to use/LOVE it, because NOTHING is changing over here. So you and everyone else GET OVER IT!
And we will never drive on the WRONG side of the road!
No need for animosity.
This is supposed to be a comedy column. Obviously it isnt funny but then US comedy never is.
Just apologise for the Jonas Brothers and for making the world a worse place both culturally and politically and then close the thread.
Thanks.
If this is a Comedy column then why the fuck are all of you dirty FEB's taking what us Americans are saying so serious?
I'm pretty sure all of our nations have our own shit to worry about... I never had anything bad to say about England or anyone who lives there but DAMN I believe what you people are saying is definitely degrading to the MAX... Especially your kind talking/making fun about what happened 9/11 you people should go to hell...Now I don't ever wish death upon anybody but I would just love to see that happen in England and for you people to go through the pain and suffering our people went through and our Nation's soil get trampled on by a bunch of Fucking rag heads.... So kiss my ass for the people in England who are making fun of that!
And for you England Rosbifs, you need a little lesson about American Military, because we WON a total of 7 wars with NO HELP!.. Look it up, you will see the Americans won, War of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish American War, Panama, Grenada, and the First Gulf war, Which my Grandfather fought in!... So as you can see we damn sure don't need ANYONE's help!
Oh and I LOVE how all you people from England talk about America like it's a BAD place, but I do believe half of your country either comes here a lot for vacationing, and a lot of you also LIVE here because England is a shitty place to live i don't know that but if English people want to come here and live then apparently England Sucks!... and hell half of your people come here to kick start their career with Singing, Movies, Sports, etc... So if it wasn't for America, the way I and a lot of other people look at it, None of you people would have any damn money or FREEDOM!
Thanks.
Grenada really ? I dont think even the french would count that
911 was a tragedy but also a blatant inside job , that should be obvious , and yet Cheney is free , why ? Cheney is your enemy.
Dont worry the TSA are ensuring there will be much less tourism in the future
also a lot of people in showbiz come to the US not out of choice but because we are sick of them especially Simon Cowell , Piers Morgan , Russel Brand , all left following scandals
The animosity in this thread is silly.
We?.. you say it like you actually walked up to them and said "We don't want you here"... You're a coward, that's all you people from england are, you people are cowards, and lazy, not to mention cry cry cry!.... You people are disrespectful, crude, and people who want everything handed on a silver platter.
And you obviously have a big ego if you actually said you people wanted all those worthless fucking celebs out of your country, because if that was the case you dumbass then anytime those celebs came back to England then you people would run them off.. and if I'm not mistaking Simon Coward lives there!
If you think that 9/11 was an inside job, I doubt we would have killed Osama Bin Laden or Suddam Hussain, or does your English fuckin ass have an explanation for that, seeing as you and your people think they know EVERYTHING! ha!
Well I think we can all agree that Wales is by far the best country xD
You r so ignorant i cant believe it yanks r so stupid no wonder ur iq is lower than ours on average. the germans never invaded london we always did a cracking good job at keepng them out with out you. anyway if it weren't 4 us you wouldnt be here anyway which proves how little u know
Oh yeah England gets all the glory for America being here on this world!.. I would call that a bit Ignorant... Just like how all England dumbasses are, you think England is better then America? I beg to differ, because we all know if America and England fought WE the Americas would wipe our ASSES with you English FUCKS!... go drink some tea and suck some dick you FAGS!
Why do you guys have such a problem with tea? It's awesome! XD
Germany didn't invade England. They tried to (in the battle of Britain) but we won. Also child pornography is illegal here.
When it comes to accidental arrogance, the average u.s. citizen often comes out number one in my book. Your original post proves the point.
Try listening to a few people now and again instead of sounding like a typical Texas twit.
First of all if we didn't have England their wouldn't be no America. Did your history teacher tell you that America wasn't owned by no one originally. The English went to the country and basically took it over. So we basically controlled America. The people who lived in America at that time were the Native Americans. So you probably have some English in you and you probably don't even know it . Would you like to have a cop of tea with that IDIOT.

Haha. Germany didn't occupy England. They tried, but we fucked their shit up.
Ok let me point something out to all you Englishmen, I'm pretty sure there is more Englishmen on here talking shit and being more stereotypical/arrogant/ignorant then us Americans, and if you people from England knew how to avoid stupid shit and not take things like this so serious then I don't think any of us would be getting into it right now... and since you people want to get technical about the way us Americans speak English then here's a little bit of technicality for you Englishmen... This is NOT English class nor is it a 'how to speak English website'.. so how about all you Englishmen get that straight and STOP whining! you people are definitely no better then us Americans so stop trying to be something you people are not!
And for anyone who thinks any of this is getting resolved by bitching about who is better and who isn't is quite the dumbass, everyone needs to learn GOD made all of us equal we all need to act like it.
11/9 or as you stupid fat fucks (hope you all die of aids you bunch of gun loving freaks call it 9/11 HAHAHAHAHAHA hope it happens againHAHA NOW GO CRY ABOUT IT HAHAHA
there is a lot about "facts" why don't people source there "facts"

When talking about occupation during WWII, there was a small section of British territory that was occupied, it is called the Channel Islands, they are nearer Normandy (that's in France) than the the British mainland coast, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Channel_Islands
As for the War of Independance, here are the facts http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/empire_seapower/rebels_redcoats_01....
I am unsure why so many of you think War is glorious, it is not, it is horrible, those who claim war is glorious have never been into Theatre or worked with/know those that have.
The poster of the initial blog is an idiot, it goes to show how narrow minded some people are.
As for the American Bible bashers, they preach as it is fact, yet they, as with many posters on here, are unable to verify there claims.
Why can't we just hate on France and Mexico and shit where the REAL unitards are. USA and UK both have ups and downs but shit we're better than everyone else! Together.

Hey for all the people that have there opinions out there.
you spend more time arguing on here who is the best.
WELL KNOW ONE IS THE BEST
The truth of everything is. It was the old and frail that fort for all our countries on all the fences . When did you last help and ask the truth of what they went through in the thick of the world wars. Have you ever taken the time ? Most likley NOT.
NO ya to fucking stupid and to stuck up ya own arses.
SO instead of babling on here. all the old and frail need our Help and Respect .
and need someone to tell the true stories that went on and the reasons why behind it all. So instead of babling on on here. go speak to the real people that were actually involved in it all. instead of leaving them to one side to rott.
while you lot think ya so great well ya not .
American Football is just rugby for cowards. Nobody else plays it because it's extremely fucking dull.
Mate Cricket is the most dull game in the world. There's just no end to that freakin' game. I'm quite sure there is much hesitation with the Brits going to a Cricket match as they will surely miss their family. A colleague of South Asian descent went to a match in England and he said he walked in the stadium immaculately well groomed. After the match is completed, he is stop by police officers as he didn't realized he's being racially profiled. Mate he looked like Osama with the long beared and all. I'd rather watch the grass grow.
OH AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA..... land of the fat people, fast food and BIG HEADED idiots. that think they are all better than everyone else, so all im going to say is I SHIT ON AMERICA AND I WIPE MY ARSE WITH THE AMERICAN FLAG.
and as for your useless TROOPS they are a joke within them selfs rapist cunts
it take on average 50,000 rounds to kill one single ememy
a useless american sniper 1.3 rounds to kill a ememy HOW FUCKING DUMB CAN A YANK BE if you cant aim and fire you rifle then i feel sorry for you...... you lot must piss on the toilet seat at home let alone find your wifes pussy hole
AMERICAN AKA YANK = THE DUMEST PEOPLE IVE EVER COME ACROSS IN MY LIFE
There is a long list of things America did not invent. From the apple pie to zebras, America didn't invent them all. However, Americans believe an astonishing amount of bullshit, not the least of which is the notion that America is actually capable of producing an original idea. A classic example of this is the phrase "American as apple pie", which, along with Santa Claus, is the sort of crap parents instill in their children in the USA. (I mean, come on! Apples... crust... baking... Americans don't honestly think they were the first to make the connection, do they?) Anyway, enjoy this horribly butchered and painfully biased list.
Along with apple pie, plenty of other "American inventions" were stolen from Europe. In fact, Europeans should really consider entering a giant class-action lawsuit against the US for intellectual property rights infringement.
Food — Many Americans are under the impression that until America came along, the world was hungry, and that America invented food, such as the previously mentioned apple pie (stolen from Britain), hot dogs (stolen from a German guy), Kumara (they stole it from New Zealand and called it sweet potatoes), hamburgers, pizza, bacon, and broccoli (thank God, it wasn't us). Did I mention apple pie?
Terrorism - Some Americans think that George Bush invented 9/11. This conspiracy theory is wrong and simply another example of American stupidity. Even George Bush wouldn't murder thousands of civilians and destroy a huge part of the financial district of America, for as we know Dubya doesn't have the brain pan required, however just ask Bush senior, he knows!. However America DID invent Irish Terrorism to kill British inventors.
Super sonic planes - although the patent was american the american government asked to see englands intel in return for thiers, I must admit whoever was prime minister must have been a retard as england had already figured it out, but England's government accepted the offer, being gents england shown first and america did not return the favour. Yes Americans are thieves
Sport - Baseball, golf, football (yes they invented American Football but not the sport of Football that makes most Americans want to gouge their eyes out).
Language - America is well known for stealing the English Language from the British and editing it so it sounded more American. Pronunciation of words is different (hence its spelt S-E-M-I not S-E-M-E-Y-E or A-N-T-I not A-N-T-E-Y-E , Zebra not -Z-E-E-E-B-R-A. The list goes on and on. Its i-raq not eye-raq. Americans also decided to name their Toilets , "Restrooms" as many Americans decided to name another room so that they could use the excuse to rest in it.
Technology — lightbulb, radio,Telephones, TV, nuclear reactor, the laser, tanks, helicopters, cars, huge cars, submarines, skyscrapers (see the Eiffel Tower
Television - The Office. True, the British had it first, but no one can deny that the American version is funnier (provided you have no sense of humour, which incidentally was invented in Britain, the Americans just butchered the 'u' in the spelling).
Legal — capitalism, democracy, the Constitution, lame politicians (stolen from Britain), liberals, conservatives, the Declaration of Independence, America.
Air — As full of themselves as many non-Americans view Americans as being, it's still always surprising when one comes across Americans who believe America invented air. Air, as we all know, was actually invented in Britain during the Scientific Revolution.
"Fixed-wing aircraft" — All the Wright brothers did was put a kite together and wave mechanical wings using rusted bicycle parts, going from someone's roof to the ground (something man has been able to do since the Dark Ages). The true inventor is some Brazilian guy you've never heard of.
Silicone boobs—Those wicked Japanese people! But it's not their fault. It's the only way those poor flat girls can get boobs.
Other — It is commonly believed in the US that America invented the wheel and fire.
America — John Cabot, An Italian working for a Welshman called Richard Amerike (After whom America was named) found America, and it belonged to the British until the Yankees decided to take it by force, causing the revolutionary war of America. To this day, any smart Americans hate the rest of the population for the vast defecit of life the USA now have, and no real history that isn't British.

Pardon me mate but I just farted on your 50 Reasons why Britain is better than America.
I,Have researched WII for some time,I'm sorry friend but the Nazi's only bombed us,And to me,Our contry's are equal,Have pro's and Con's,And to be fair...I don't know why you have written this,It would just start an Internet War,Our country's relation's arn't to great at the Current momment,We do not need thing's like this,Little thing's That help start war's.
Loud mouthed self centered pathetic yanks who think they are so cool.Dont make me laugh.You are the biggest problem in the world today you think the world revolves around you,so much so you call your Superbowl winners champions of the world yet there is only you who play the dam game !!!!.If you dont like it blow it up should be on your flag
ahahah you're argument is so irrelevant and untrue that you can't even take this even remotely seriously, I'm from England and i'll admit that its not the best country in the world, but seriously if you want to advertise your country you should get your facts right and stop talking jingoistic bullshit.
P.S child pornography is illegal, germany never took over london and if it wasn't for europe and mainly England you wouldn't be in America, because we colonised America! so sorry to offend your extreme stupidity but your are fundamentally a descendant of us limeys.
Your article made me laugh out loud. Germany did not invade the UK during the war. It is a well documented that the fact we are an island helped to stop Germany from invading us. Why on earth do you think most of the fighting was done in France? And why do you feel the need to write such an article? The lady doth protest too much is what springs to mind. Are you trying to convince us brits or yourself? You don't see articles written by British people about why we are better. Probably because we are comfortable in our own skin and don't feel the need to proove anything. In fact, the articles I have read about why Britain is great were written by Americans. I kid you not. One final point - which country went absolutely mad over the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Cambridge (née Middleton). Answer: yours.
Someone needs to watch more QI...
It's a joke site guys and the joke's on you.
what civilised country allows the death penalty?
the US planned to invade the British empire but didn't http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red
I wish America would invade England, make it a colony, and tax the shit out of every English citizen. Just the English of course. We'll make the Welsch the tax collectors, the Scots as the tax armed enforcers, and an Irish as the Governor General to do the dictating of tax laws. Just to get even with the Brits.
Americans:
*Hated by the majority of the world (Check)
*Arogant (Check)
*Morbidly obese (Double check)
*Unattractive (Double check)
*Simple minded w/ elements of retardation (Tripple/quadruple check)
*Bad teeth (Check)
*Shitty Food not even fit for a pig's swill (double check).
*Land of the free (no check)
*Saggy breasted women (or plastic breasted women) (Sadly double check).
*Loser of three wars in the last 50 years (check)
How anyone can think this third world country can even compre to England, I don't know.
I am Mexican and even I think the US is the world's toilet bowl.
Then why don't you go climb up the Border fence and go back to Mexico where you belong wetback ... I mean Ese.
You're just a jumped up...full of yourself...American Idiot who really doesn't know much and just loves the sound of your own voice...your comments are offensive and retarded to say the least... I know many americans and thank god not all of them are like you or share your views.
Thanks to your country and the lack of political know how we have a huge recesion... as a population you should really stop believing your own hype and get a grip... the world does not need America or like America much and that is why other countries prefer England over USA... you've brought it on yourselves, so cut the arrogance and stupidity and you might win some friends back !!! Twat !
We didn't get invaded...that is what battle of britain was about, and also we dont have bad teeth, it's just a stereotype, like saying all americans are fat...
US music is second rate.
US TV is third rate.
US actors are fourth rate , seriously they are a joke internationally.
Also your govt carries out the most obvious inside jobs against you and you racist morons happily blame the muslims , us Brits may have our issues but you guys are a joke internationally.
You British people are a bunch of BABIES!... Wow it's sadly pathetic lol
You people obviously have nothing better to do then to stereotype, and cry about a post that was posted over a year ago!... Get a life, and do something productive!
LOL and thats coming from you............ get real mate your boring just like the rest of you are
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^so why are you on here moaning about US british? eh yank or should i turn it around and say SKANK all you dumb fucks cry and throw your toys out of the pram when something dont go your way
Why are Americans stereotypically stupid................
Stereotypes are broad sweeping statements of prejudice. Those who make such statements generally reveal themselves to be uneducated in the subject and usually unwilling to learn more about it.
Most Americans do have habits that are strange to other nations. They are not restrained in their manner, having a happy exuberance that can irritate more reserved cultures. While traveling, they frequently are boisterous and attention getting. Part of this issue stems from the fact that Americans have the most land mass to roam with very little restriction. Europeans and Asians have not had these freedoms in many years, sometimes centuries, so Americans seem gauche in their enthusiasms. This becomes a barrier to other cultures and the American, being in the minority in this situation, is seen as stupid. This verdict is the product of a more restrictive culture about which the average American is unaware. For those other cultures this person is uncultured and, being an adult, is therefore stupid.
The American frequently views restrictive cultures as secretive. The American thinks in terms that reserved=secretive, which is a precursor to violence. In the American's eyes, secrets are supposed to be personal affairs not a cultural norm. His evening news is a plethora of world events which in other cultures could not be aired. Censorship to him is an unnecessary evil.
So while most Americans traveling abroad might not conform to the culture of the host nation, for the most part they are not deliberately malicious. They genuinely do not realize that they are breaking cultural taboos; they actually have very few of them themselves. Stupidity in this case is not a case of overconfidence, but a case of a lack of education in the niceties of the other culture. The American's credo seems to be in these cases not "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" but more of "When in Rome, be a Roman Candle". In these instances Americans are not irritating deliberately, but with joy and innocence of cultural norms of the host country.
It is interesting to note that usually, when the situations are reversed, the American does not accord the same disdain to other visitors to his culture. He goes out of his way to strain to understand the stranger and make him welcome in his country. He will spend time and effort to make the stranger comfortable in America. It is an ironic twist that he works very hard to welcome the visitor yet is disdained by the rest of the world when he goes traveling.
As in all questions of this type, there will be examples of people who are arrogant, deliberately rude and condescending. This American type is usually less traveled with a superior attitude which is offensive to the other culture and his traveling companions. It is usually quickly apparent that the companions are embarrassed by his behavior as a reflection on their group. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is not exclusive to the Americans. Usually this type of traveler seems to be a tiny minority in either case
Sounds like you had a terrible time cruising down the Carribean with young drunk Americans on board.
" While traveling, they frequently are boisterous and attention getting. "
Be thankful that that's the only thing they do. Have you ever seen those English football hooligan fans when they go to other European countries? People die!!!!
had to have a laugh at this one.... does anyone watch SHAMELESS?????? the british one (the better one) and then the AMERICAN one what alad of crap the yank one is WHY DONT YOU SILLY FUCKS COME UP WITH SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN AND STOP COPYING US bloody idiots
i want to know... why do the yanks have the english language????? and change it to make it sound american (dumb) i mean cant you call it yankie doodle?? its english not american were british... and also why do you wankers have to take everything we do??? i know none of you have a brain or idear of your own so you look to steel off the british DUMB FUCKERS
We've bastardized your language and made it more contemporary and cool.
Yanks are too full of themselves, think they own the world but they are so far up thier own arses they can't see that they are the most hated nation in the planet. The English invented almost everything and gave the yanks a language that they had to simplify so they could cope. They only came into the war for their own selfish reasons. The British turned the the tide of WW2 during Battle of Britain, if not for standing alone against nazism then the world would be a different place today and also they would never have gone to the moon without German brains.. America,the land of the fat, the gun culture, the unedacted masses... Thanks but I will pass.
First of all most of your history is off by miles. The independence war, america did not give the british a arse kicking infact america was losing for the majority of the war they only started to gain victories after the french joined and stopped the british from getting aid by sea i believe if the french did not get involved then britain may of won(intresting fact the statue of liberty was given to america by the french). Secondly the war of 1812 no one really won it nothing was gained both sides suffered canada had one of there towns burnt down america had washington set on fire and the white house all most fully destroyed after which a peace agreement was signed by both sides. Now the world wars britain was never invaded by the germans at any point most of the combat happened in mainland europe France,belguim and russia etc.
OMG
I really don't know how I arrived here but after reading these posts is it any wonder terrorists want to bomb us out of extinction???
I am not my country I am a universal child of the cosmos!
You must be an alien then. How did you get here? Where's your space ship's at?
America is the descendant of Europe.
I think America spends way too much money on invading "terrorist threat countries" and should fix its own issues first like health care.
Or being the leading country of obesity, gun violence and incarceration.
And to the 10 year olds who keep saying "we saved your ass in WW2", it wasnt just the USA who fought that war.
Many European countries, and most of all Russia, killed many nazi's and lost many people.
I have nothing against the USA, but really give the Europe bashing a break, without them the USA wouldnt even be here right now.
laugh my arse off you americans are realy thick do not fuck with a ESSEX GIRL coz we will fuck u up bad lol all you going on about the second world war was ya there no so shhhh and lets see you are all in to true blood and twilight the main characters are ENGLISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIDCOYS THE LOT OF YA
I didn't understand a damn thing you wrote boy. You sure you're a Brit? Brits are well spoken, coherent and lucid. I'm sure you've had one too many Bass Ale eh mate!
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to rein over us
God save America
I don't think I've ever come across anyone with a more swollen sense of their ability to express their, frankly, idiotic opinions. Clearly your education system is failing you so let me enlighten you. Firstly, if it wasn't for England the shitty piece of earth you call home wouldn't have even been introduced to civilisation. Secondly, you talk of the British occupation of America but later claim that the US has never been occupied by any other nation (which by the way is how you should have written it because what you've put down barely resembles English). Thirdly, how disgracefully stupid do you have to be to think that London was occupied by the German army, not once during WW2 did a German army set foot on British soil. Where do you read this stuff? Also, Elton John does not have a collection of child pornography because it is illegal and if the proof that he does own explicit material was so easily available to you then I suspect the British police would have clocked onto it by now aswell, can you not put 2 and 2 together and work that out? And how can you criticise Churchill for being an alcoholic when your country has elected people such as Richard Nixon, George Bush and you if you'd elected John MCcain then Sarah Palin could've been president, she can barely write her own fucking name for Christ's sake, how can you people be so uneducated?
Your own family probably has British roots, your customs are mostly British and you even speak our language. Almost everything about the uncivilised rock you live on has British roots; baseball was invented by British soldiers, a huge number of your cities are named after British towns your president supports a British football club.
Your national identity is mostly made up of things borrowed from either British or European culture and frankly, if it wasn't for Europeans populating your country you probably would never have been born. Now that would have been rather unfortunate given the fact that you are such a shining example of what an American education and an American upbringing can do for humankind. (that's sarcasm by the way, I know you Americans don't really understand wit).
People in your shitty country are so fucking thick they have 50 stars on their flag which are supposed to represent the 50 states, however, there are at least 4 'states' that aren't even states, they're commonwealths and have different powers but the Americans are too stupid to grasp this concept so they keep all 50 stars on their flag. It's amazing that they even use their flag as a means of expressing how fucking backward they are.
America: a proven track record of being beaten in battle by a host of 3rd world countries despite having a huge numerical and economical advantage.
Britian: Created one of the greatest empires in human history that spanned a quater of the globe. You simply cannot argue with that.
And they couldn't even fight off the British without the help of the French and the Spanish...Its laughable!
Sure I could. If Scotland, Wales, Australia, and Canada decided to follow the American example, the English will be blitz out of existence. Then Northern Ireland and the Republic will finally reunite and everyone will be happy. The English? The English will eat their fish and chips slathered with vinegar.
Vietnam was a tie. Korea was adjourned. Somalia? America sent 10 Special Forces so that doesn't count.
The first Gulf War, kicked Saddam out of Kuwait. Second Gulf War, deja vous but ended his rein. Of course with the help of our dearest and handsome ally Great Britain.
Most of all we won the big one that prevented the colonizing and partitioning of England by the Third Reich.
The USA has been better than the UK for over a century and a half. Let's discuss why in Civilization V terms. First, culture. UK has hardly any recognizable culture. They have soccer(football) and skinny lady men. They had a gay musician who was fat so they knighted him. It's pretty pathetic. I can't name a single food from England, other than Shepard's Pie, which isn't really English. The only two "wonders" any one person in the world today can name are Big Ben (which isn't a wonder) and Buckingham Palace. US is the dominant culture of the world. Our music and other media is everywhere, and our food is recognizable (even thought foreigners only know the bad food). Your country currently has laughable armed forces. You used to have a nice navy, but those years are over now by a long shot. I wasn't aware you actually had an army but I figure you must have a shitty one. And your air force is mediocre. At one point you had colonies across the world, but you guys are so bad at fighting you lost them all. The only war you really did well in is WWII, but Germany was the really star of that war, taking over almost all of Europe. US has done well in wars, seriously, a little colony fought off a colonial empire? (the decisive battles were mostly US, without French aid). And come on, WE won the world wars for the most part, no progress had gone on the Allied side until WE stepped in. You guys are unscientific morons. We invented most of what has lead to technology we experience today. We discovered use of electricity, created the doorbell, Morse code, sewing machine, circuit breaker, gas mask, motorcycle, silo, microphone, solar cell, skyscraper, machine gun, zipper, etc. What have you guys made in recent history? Either way I still don't like the USA that much. San Francisco is nice because there's a fair amount of sane people (which the world lacks) and its a nice city, it's a shame that the generality of Americans is that we're all fat rednecks living in trailer parks. GIVE ME SOME HATE!!!

Whilst I find your comments really disgusting all i'm going to say is this: Britain came up with rock and punk and metal, yes they are ultimately decended from blues which developed in the US but we came up with rock and metal and that beats the shit out of your crap music! :D
This is the only tea bag statement that makes sense in this site. I mean if you don't appreciate the music of Pink Floyd then somethings wrong with you. Roger Waters brilliant!!! The Beatles ... what more can I say. Lennon was so poetic with words. Deep Purple with Ian Gillan screaming his heart out on Child OF Time. Just amazing. And most of all, the greatest of all bands, the grand daddy of them all, the Fuhrer of rock and roll, England's best export to the world, LED ZEPPELIN!!!! Words cannot express what Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones had accomplished. They should be knighted 10 thousand times by the Queen. These four Englishmen would've defeated Germany. Of course, with American support.
we invented the telephone, the train and television. Yes may not have as much in terms of inventions but we lead the way in science don't forget some of the best minds in history were british: Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Michael Faraday and Francis Crick as well as many more. Without these people the world might still be in the dark ages a bit like the US with your dependancy on religion (you won't advance with backwards thinking like that)
Look guys, lets stop raging against our Dumm American Brothers
No one cares about them now, they are just China's bitch, who can bitch slap them whenever they feel like it
The yanks is gonna have to learn the hard way how to bend over and take it rough from the Chinese :D:D:D:D

Yanks are so dummmm
Why *DO* they sing the shit stained banner national anthem or what ever they call that gay anthem to the tune of an Old British Navy drinking song ????

Do you know how pathetic this argument is. America sounds like an amazing place to live, i have people that are now family as they have married into my family that are american, and they are lovely people.Very sweet and have such kind things to say about england. Im english and although i think my country could be better, i still love it and will defend it untill the day i die. But, at the same time i have nothing bad to say about america either, i really want to go there one day soon, as the people seem generally lovely. But i would'nt want to live there, as i would miss England too much. England is an amazing place, our country has so much history, we have survived war after war, invasion after invasion (and no, germany did not invade us)we have lost many brave men that fought for our country, that shows how they must have loved their country if they were willing to die for it. We were and still are, beautiful. We may not be perfect, but no one can ever say that we are spineless, or un-educated. Like i said, we could be better, and as we have been through so much already, this tiny little country, i know we will be amazing again one day. It brings tears to my eyes to see all these comments about how we have terrible teeth, and bad acne, i have amazing skin, and my teeth are straight and small. We drive on the right side of the road for us. americans drive on the right side for them. America did not save our "asses" in WW2 , it is true you only came in at the last moment, but you did help nonetheless.It also upsets me that fellow Englishmen would say such horrible things about the americans, apart from occasionally insulting us, what have they actually done to deserve all this, and same goes to the person who created this, what has england done to you? Nothing. I am , and always will be proud to be English, and i would never feel ashamed to tell people in other countries where i am from.
And, Hugh Grant is just one of many English men. I know of Americans that are not proud of America, weakest argument ever that one.
Right listen dickweed,
Firstly, you're a complete arsehole for generally wanting to start an argument with this 'Todd' lad because it was obviously for no apparent reason other than the fact you wanted to 'push his buttons' as you so maturely said.
Secondly, I think you'll find that just because three quarters of the world drive on the right side does not mean majority rules that is just some idiotic fact you've come up with. The car was invented by the English in the Victorian era therefore we decided the side of which you are supposed to drive on and then people decided to change it in certain places.
Thirdly, we do not all have bad teeth, that is a massive stereotype lots of people from all different countries have bad teeth and anyway America has the highest obesity rate so shut up at least having bad teeth doesn't risk our lives. Go eat some carrots.
Fourthly, you're obviously completely stupid. I very much doubt that Elton John has child pornography, if Gary Glitter didn't get away with it why should he? You blaitenly don't understand the term sensationalising, because that is what the media generally does with news stories.
I have nothing to say about Victoria Beckham I don't really like her that much but 'soccer' is called football England were playing way before America was even discovered, there used to be massive games of it between villages in the 14th century.
Also get your facts right please Germany never invaded London, there was a big thing about creating a home guard but England never needed it in the end. And yes Winston Churchill was an alcoholic but that doesn't mean he wasn't one of the greatest Prime Minister's of all time. And tea is lovely, one of the nicest drinks in the world so get a grip.
Now please fuck off and stop criticising England because you're jealous of us which is obvious because you are holding petty things such as the war of independance and world war 2 it was ages ago and England has a much richer and amazing history than you, and our music is far better I mean we have all the legends, well actually the whole of the United Kingdom and Ireland have the best. I know this isn't connected but I feel I should say it
America drives on the RIGHT side of the road. England is misguided and should emulate America.
Hell yes jr96 ;), and dont forget we had charles II, dick turpin, nell gwyn and loads of other amazing people :D
Of course you win the argument that your country (US&A) is better than mine, England or Britain (not sure which one your mean - see below).
Given that you are the country that gave the world George Bush (both of 'em), spray-on cheese, Glenn Beck, 'multi-level marketing', Charles Manson, FoxNews, Britney Spears, celebrity worship, the draft-dodging John Wayne, McDonalds, Sarah Palin, the highest obesity rate in the world, Eminem, 'freedom fries', Liberace, SUVs, Michael Bay, AmWay, Lloyd Fredenhall & gun culture you obviously win!
By the way, which country of mine do you mean - England or Britain (from whom you won independence, stole the language and who burned down your White House in 1812)?
just listen to white cliffs of dover, you will then realise how amazing england is, and how amazing their people are.
dick who has had an empire and do a propper history lesson and look up the battle of britan you dumb ass yank and we made football you stoleit and tv like skins and sameless you yanks need to go back to school and how is the smarter then you have to stell from england so who is thick england forever but i think you and one dick in a lot of good pepole og the rest of amareca
ok coffie dick amerca is a great country but there are some dick likr you mate that are all mouth ands pig headed and wre are a very small county but were powerful and pround as your county is that is why our countys are the best of alies you helped my county in the 2nd world war and we help your war and help all around ........ plue get laded geek you will fell a lot better come on we can have a good laght online bitch at one er nother but but you are amerca i am britch we sould be cool maTE
I think we should all take a nice little trip to hampton court palace :)
I agree, That is something America will never posess, Beautiful, old buildings. I admire your taste.
I honestly dont mind Americans I just hate the uneducated ones, firstly the war of independence was fought by The USA,France and Spain supported by Holland, Denmark and Russia against Britain so gets the facts straight.
You tried to take Canada and got beat by the Loyalist Americans, Brits and Canadians even though you had constant supplies and outnumbered us 38-1.
Japan attacked pearl harbor because the US government owed millions in trade to Japan and refused to pay up because of the recession, Japan was going to bankrupt if it never got the cash, they never got it so you left them no choice.
Now ww2 if you check the facts (something Americans tend not to do) you entered the war near the end when Russia had finally got control of the eastern front making the war almost won before you decided to help, you did not help for the sake of it either it cost Europe plenty of cash and also got the US out of the recession.
Always remember that in the great war you helped supply the nazis who killed 6million Jews and over 10million russians, the Canadians,Australians,Indians and many smaller countries fought while you cowards waited till the odds stacked in the allies favour.
Just remember that you have never won a war alone in you history and the only one you tried to win with little support was in Vietnam! A country smaller than 1 American state and u got fu**** up lol
My dear English mate please look up The Lend Lease Act that America provided for England, France, Russia, and other allied countries opposed to Germany. The bulk of these resources, whether war materials or funds, were sent directly to good ol England. Merchant ships were provided by America for England to use to transport tanks, weapons, and ammo so Gen. Montgomery could at least match up wits with the Brilliant Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. Without those American tanks those German panzers would've slaughtered those brave English, Aussie, Kiwi, and American soldiers. In addition, those merchant ships transported food from America to England thus preventing a massive starvation in the entire British Isles. Please look up Stalingrad and find out how many Russians died of starvation during the German siege. England was also being besieged by U-Boats, circling around the Isles like sharks waiting to strike. If 4, 5 or more merchant ships are torpedoed, America sends 4, 5 or more ships to the Brits. Did you ever see that famous photo of Prime Minister Churchill holding a Thompson assault weapon? That weapon came from a wooden box with several other Tommy's supplied by .... yeah you guess it - America.
The majority of the American people wanted nothing to do with this European made war. War weary from the first world war the American people made it clear to their politicians, especially Pres. Roosevelt, not to meddle and to let these Euro homosexuals fight it out on their own. However, Pres. Roosevelt kept supplying England with war materials knowing that to do so might provoke the Germans to attack American ships. And they actually did. I must add that helping England was the best course for American security. But Hitler made it easy for the President as he declared war on America.
Japan wanted to expand its empire beyond Manchuria. To do so they would have to face the Brits, America, and the Netherlands as they are in the neighborhood. It was just a matter of time before Japan clashes with the West. Besides, to sustain its war effort, Japan needed oil and South East Asia's got plenty.
Where in gods name did you get the idea that America suppled the Nazis that killed 6 million Jews? Supplied with what? Hot dogs? Dude .... you're delusional. If you want to find someone to blame for what had happened in Europe 70 years ago then blame the Europeans like yourself. Its you guys who like to fight each other since the 12 century AD. America weren't born yet and European countries were throwing hissy fits at each other already.
The point is England was saved from becoming a colony of Germany by its former colony and subjects - THE AMERICANS!!!!
England: " Thank you very much for saving our fat arses America".
America: " You're most welcome tea bag".
Load of crap! Teabag I may but it's better than a supersize cheeseburger I suppose.
You are spouting off myths not facts you retard, do you honestly think your effort was anywhere near that of the Russians? If so you are a dreamer my friend.
German war vehicles that the nazis used to invade Poland could only run on fuel supplied by the rockerfeller family, the planes that bombed England during the blitz and Russia again needed the same fuel again supplied by the Rockerfellers.
You suplied both the Axis and allies during ww2. You decided to send supplies which cost 11 times the price out of war time and it also cost the British a few Islands.
Look where the tune of your national anthem came from and why the "white house" gets it's name?
Don't try and take me on with history because I most likely know more about America than you will ever know you spas!!
Keep reading your stupid American bullshit take on history, infact it's more propaganda than fact.
Now go away you stupid uneducated fat loud mouth bible loving half breed and go shoot up some highschool you bitch.
You're delusional man.
" You decided to send supplies which cost 11 times the price out of war time and it also cost the British a few Islands. "
It's called business me fine English lad. America and England may have been allies but business is business. You want something from us then this is how much its going to cost you. Besides it is America and America alone who can produce all the necessary resources England needs to sustain its war effort, as well as to survive. Why didn't England take their business somewhere else like Russia or Canada if the American price is too costly? England didn't because England's quite aware that the American industry is a juggernaut. Fact of the matter is there is nowhere else for England to grovel except to America for help. Those Islands? The U.S. Virgin Island? I won't worry about those islands as they were appropriated by the English from the natives, just as much as the Americans relocated the native Americans from their homes. Like English like Americans. America learned very well from its former colonial ruler.
Rockefeller fuel? Where else will the Germans get their fuel? From England? France? Saudi Arabia perhaps? How will Rockefeller know what the Germans will do with his fuel? However, that all stopped once WW2 started. Then the Germans took their business to Romania. You can't associate the holocaust to America just because Rockefeller did business with Germany. Rockefeller doesn't represent the country. He was just a very wealthy citizen of America. That's like America blaming England for BP Oil's incompetence in the Gulf of Mexico. Or blaming England for John Browne's insensitive comments.
Cheeseburger's good man. You should try it sometimes and wash it down with tea. Dude!
I'm as uneducated as you are mate. Just read books on the history of WW2 and you will see what I'm talking about. I love the Bible and am proud of it you filthy heathen. Go to your Anglican church and learn something about morality as England is now infested with child molesters. I still say your comments are delusional mate.
I say ol chap .... Cheerio! Pip Pip! By George you've gotit!
Victoria Beckham isn’t a celebrity here. She is now you fucking moron; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B6ucoSoIy4 (asks about Victoria Beckham)
We drive on the RIGHT side of the road. Who gives a fuck what side of the road someone drives on?
"Football involves the Steelers, five Super Bowl victories (the most in NFL history), and Penn State Football. If it weren’t for “American Football” there wouldn’t be a Beaver Stadium and 110,000 screaming fans who probably consume more alcohol during one home game weekend than all of Europe does in a year."
Americans cannot drink for their lives, you have Bud Lite in which the cans are the size of coke cans instead of pints. Plus 92+ teams in England get crowds, along with the whole of Europe selling out (and the world actually playing our sport).
"The U.S. was never taken over by anybody. Ever. Remember World War II? Of course you don’t, you weren’t alive. Well I have the internet and I looked it up. Germany successfully invaded England and occupied London. Winston Churchill was overrated. I think he might even have been an alcoholic, too. That is, if having alcohol for breakfast makes you an alcoholic. Thanks to the good ole U-S of A, England is still around to remind us all how we drive on the wrong side of the road."
Oh dear, Germany have never invaded us especially in WW2, and for a country of 1000 years plus we've done alright.
"Child pornography is illegal in the United States. Child pornography being what it is, it stands to reason that it would also be illegal in England, too. Right? Wrong. Elton John owns child pornography. Only instead of arresting him, the courts in England said it was fine. It was over some picture he had with two girls belly dancing, one of them naked. Although, considering it was a naked a picture of a girl, I guess maybe I get their point. It IS Elton John."
If he got fined then that shows it's illegal you thick fuck...
What a stupid mis-informed prick.........Royal Thrown, did you mean Throne. Just thank you for reinforcing what the world thinks of Americans and the reasons for their thinking. IGNORANT BIGOT.
Hey give the guy a break man. Not everyone is Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde. You should read all your mates comments here on this site as their not that smart either. You guys are good at cursing, throwing out insults and calling us names but weak when it comes to debate.
If you have such a problem with the English then stop speaking the English language. Forgot americans don’t have their own language.
It's too late my brotha. You introduced it to us and now we're keeping it and making it our own. Maybe you guys should switch to Gaelic as we like the English language quite a lot. Besides, we've made English contemporary and cool. British English is way too proper, rigid, and too Royal for the world to appreciated.
yanks is america really your country or did you steele it off the native american indians by murdering and rapeing the poor fuckers ever whatch soilder blue
Yes we stole the land from the Native Indians by murdering and raping the poor fuckers just as much as the British empire raped and murdered half the entire population of the world's poor fuckers to build the empire. Don't foget your past history young man.
Great Britain was and still is the biggest imperialist pig in the world.
you say that britain has nasty food but who has the most fat people so shut up and have a cheeseburger and wash it down with a nice sugary milkshake ya yanky chubby bastard
Don't flatter yourself too much mate. England is now the fattest country in the entire European continent. Too much Yorkshire pudding, shepard's pie and fish and chips. Before calling someone fat, look in the mirror first.

Dont forget we have milkshakes too, and burgers. Every country has their fat people, some people have things wrong with them that causes them to be over weight, and some people have slow metabolisms, and some are just darn right greedy, i have never heard anyone untill now declare that england is the fattest country, on the news and such i have always heard it was America, but as i said, there are fat people wherever you go.
English Rose:
There are a lot of obese people in America. That is true and no American is denying that. But England seems to think that they are not in the same category as America. America may have the most obese people in the world but its hypocritical for a Brit to say that England is not. Truth is many English are obese and that me lady is a fact. If you say the opposite then you are lying.
No i agree, there are alot of obese people in England, like i said there are fat people wherever you go. Im just saying up untill now i have never seen anyone say that England has the the highest obesity rate. Also, that comment i put was pretty much sticking up for America on that one point, because the person beforehand was saying how you should go eat a burger and have a milkshake, in an offensive way, even though we have those too. I think most people here forget we have McDonalds too.
You're the only voice in this site that has some sense and sanity. As i said to you before, if women are running the world, we will not see conflict in this world. If women are running the show, we'll all be eating salad and not cheeseburgers. You sure you're not mother Teresa?
McDonalds serves bad fatty food. If you're smart, you stay away from eating there. I haven't had a burger for 3 months now and am proud of that.
If you want to keep your girlish figure, do not go to McDonalds.
I hope its not raining in England.
Cheers Mate!
Thankyou :) Yeah, i think women are just slightly calmer, and less ready to fight than men are, and im very sure im not mother Teresa hahah. McDonalds is very bad for you, completely agree, and im a vegetarian , so i cant eat most of their stuff anyway, and i dont blame you on not eating their food, its wayy greasy, and nope, not raining here weirdly enough, been really hot reecently for some reason. Have a nice evening. hope it's not raining their either.
There * sorry, i annoy myself when i know i have spelt something wrong.
I was right about women and salad. Well, I guess us men are not that vigilant in watching our waistline stretched but as your mates in this site indicated, Americans are the fattest in the world. That maybe so but not all. I'm not fat at all. We should all be vegetarians but you know that's really not possible.
We have more testosterone than women and this is why we have wars - just my theory.
It rained the other night but pretty cool tonight. And have a nice evening yourself me fine English lass - I mean Rose.
I do have to admit, salad pretty much is my favourite food. Also, i dont know why the English people on this site say all the times how Americans are so fat, i never have met an obese American, and i have met quite a few, if your country had as many obese people as the media keeps telling us, then surely i would have met one by now. And to your theory, that sounds pretty likely actually. And thats annoying, i really dont like the rain, well thats okay, just woke up to a clear blue sky again, and its really early , strange for October, oh well. Thankyou, Have a lovely day :)
Americans are fat. I kid you not. If you go to the Mid West and Houston, Texas, they are fat there. Tremendously obese but the point I'm making to your English mates here on this site is not all Americans are obese. I'm from NYC and there are more regular slim looking people here than any where else in America. I shouldn't say that as in California and Florida, people are also pretty skinny. I guess those sunshine states escape the bulges as they do need to show off their bodies when sun tanning. Its too embarrassing for someone who weights 3,000 lbs to lay down on the beach with his or her extended belly the size of a small hill. New Yorkers walk a lot so that's one good thing in battling the bulge. It does rain a lot in your part of the world. 3 years ago I went with me Irish mate to County Kerry and then Dublin and it freakin' rained every day. There is no dry season there right? Its getting pretty cold here now.
You're the only one here who is not so hostile towards America. I'm totally surprise. Anyway hope you're doing well and you have a lovely day yourself me fine English lass.
Cheerio!
BTW, what part of the old world are you from? My guest is Ealing.
I'm from Essex, we have the oldest town in England in my county :D
Pretty much the same here then, i do see alot of obese people here, but there are just as many normal sized people. And i know what you mean about Ireland, i went there this summer and it rained more than it does here in England, and thats quite hard to beat. Its getting cold here too, not sunny anymore haha. I dont see any point of being un-kind to Americans, my Aunt lives in New York, and her husband is American, and i have never met someone so funny and kind. I have met some of his family aswell and they seem generally lovely too. I think you get bad and god people wherever you go. Hope your day goes fine, take care!
Speaking of obese, did you ever see Christina Aguilar? She gained quite a few pounds. American food is really fattening.
Ireland's very nice especially in the country side in County kerry. The mountains and the hills are so picturesque its like watching it on a flat screen in High Definition. So beautiful.
There are a lot of Brits here in NYC but not that many English pubs. There's a nice English pub at Greenwich Village my Irish friend and I go to to have some fine fish and chips and a pitcher of Bass Ale. Hmmmm ... cahn't wait to go there this weekend. I'm sure your aunt and his husbandare quite aware of that pub.
Yeah tell your mates here to be cool with America man. They are so mean and brutal with words. I wouldn't say those things I said about England if they weren't that mean. Take care as well mate.
Laughing at the fact that someone has wrote, 'We have triple-stack cheeseburgers at Wendy's.'
And you Americans call the British obese?
Um, think again.
i like the way the yanks always try gloryfiying that they won the second world war when they did not join till half way through and what did they actually do point taken they helped with surplies but besides from that not much else britain and europe did all the hard work you just came in when the going got easy or and japan who probally would have won if you yanks did not bomb them just to catch back up with the rest of us wining germany
We did! We won the war for you and the French. We joined at the right time.
Always remember this me fine English lads. The first phase of WW2 in the Western front was the mighty BLITZKRIEG that has befallen and led the Brits, French and the Poles to their humiliating retreat across the English Channel.
The second phase was the CAVALRY TO THE RESCUE!!!!!
Supplies and cowboys in the millions arrived in England and change the dynamics of the war. This is the reason why there is freedom and democracy in England today.
only war america tried to do by themselves was a total fuck up 10 years of fighting a country with toy guns and the got their arse kicked
Winston Churchill's mother was an American. So that would explain your comment about him then.
and i surpose barrack obama is american then i heard that he was kenyan or some shit with a foney birth certificate so dont be saying that churchill is american my fine yanky chum
Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a distant cousin of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Regardless of their different ethnicity, their family lineage exudes leadership.
yes with proper historical value what have you got over there in big headed yanky land all america is and always will be is a youthlin country with its biggest attractions being disneylands
honestly there are wrongs in both societies that we are not proud of. but we are allies and good ones at that. why are we fighting we are both powerful nations working together to defeat wrongful enemies. stop the fighting your not proving any point. we need to work together and stop bickering like children.
to save yous again what like where doing now in afganistan because you nancy gay boy yanks pulled out again with messing too many things up plus our football we play it with our feet you play with yur hands or but you lot love to play with balls in your hands tinker bells puffs and gay ha jha ha khiiyhuikyhyhgccfggfbvcx
thank you lots jimmy from yorkshire ..................
You must be in bed with Sir Elton John then. Football or soccer is a game for girls. That's why I stick to ice hockey and American football. They're games for real macho men.
my name is matthew am from england and well america wat else can you say
I really do hope that all you poor people have calmed down by now, just in case you haven't, here's something to help you get along:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAM9C_Ik_QU
You know you all like ponies.
Is that so, Well if i remember rightly, Elder sisters tend to have to be around longer than the younger, i think you will find that means England is the elder, more experianced sister.
So you say. I just don't see it that way. It's like poor raggety Cinderella ( America ) being abuse by her three ugly, bitchy sisters ( England, England, and England ). Then she turns out to be the most gorgeous fine young lady at the ball. The three ugly sisters sneering with jealousy.
Gorgeous? Yeah, that isnt a word i would use to describe your country, And fine isnt either, now, our country with our beautiful buildings and people, that is fine, and gorgeous. Also, Cinderella had two stepsisters dickweed.
Sorry mate.
So you say. I just don't see it that way. It's like poor raggety Cinderella ( America ) being abuse by her two ugly, bitchy step-sisters ( England and England ).

funny coming from a country who is almost bankrupt. The USA is a strong military nation. But like every other nations before.... bankruptcy is shortly followed by decline.
But your right.... USA is a best bankrupt nation in the world.
just don't drag the whole world down the shit hole your spearheading too.
its because of us and are gun ho atitude you americans do it all by yourselfs because of your big headed attitude you think you are better then everybody else end of
you thyink its just britain whos having money problems you thick yank and by the way britan will recover how will it take the great americans
how likes big headed amereca dose the canedians like you you a little prick
this is matty proud manchester united fan all you americans who think we a so crap come here and say it to my face an all my football mate will, kick your head in just go to goggle and type in football hooligans and see what we are like and england gives every one money thats why we are broke best looking wemen best bands like the beatiles and the fucking sas bet the bitch what do you have to say now little prick
Yo man Ricky can't even beat Manny Pacquiao so now you're challenging Americans? Dude! We don't need to fight ya! Let the Irish kick your dole collecting arse mutha F'ker!!!
i like the way the yanks say they beat us red coats by themselfs when they did not they needed french help if it was not for the french you would still be under english rule
I'm Irish and as a nation We've had our ups and downs with England, but They are a far more intelligent nation than the United States. In saying that so are most nations especially Your nearest neighbors Canada. How come They have the same gun controls as Ye but They still don't have 1/5(that's one fifth by the way) of the gun related deaths Ye're poxy Country has?? Also every time Your Country illegally invades another, Britain are on hand to help Ye out?? What do They get in return, They have more soldiers killed By American troops(Allies) than They do by the opposing army in what We've come to know as 'friendly fire'. Your nation aswell as been arrogant are also ignorant to everything that goes on around Them. At the moment Your Govt are hatching a plan to invade Iran because of an 'alleged' plot to assassinate on American soil. Its like a badly scripted Hollywood movie. It's an attempt to deflect the public's attention from the horrendous economic problems America are suffering at the moment. The sad truth is Ye will fall for it because Ye are so retarded!!! I suppose Ye still believe Your Govt's version of 911 aswell, God Ye are so dumb!!
As a Yank I'm disappointed at your comments, if you're indeed who you claim to be. Then again you may be a protty and from that part of Ireland where Rev. Ian Paisley is from so am not surprise. The Irish people had suffered tremendously from British abuses in Ireland and thousands have died. Granted that Britain had reached out to Ireland to make peace is well in good and should be commended but your comments shows tremendous bias. But that is how you feel and I respect that.
You have a problem with America right?
Owning guns in America is a right of every American and is protected in the constitution. Yes there are horrible gun killings here but if you think the Congress will ban the ownership of guns then you've got another thing coming. That is like the Parliament passing a bill to renounce or abrogate the Monarchy in England. Or Ireland banning the consumption of Guinness. Its just not gonna happen.
Top of the morning to you me fine Irish lad.
First of all we are all human!!! To be honest i think this guy who wrote this article is a fucking douchebag. I am not American or British, i come from Europe. That is the reason i have bad english so i apologize.
I think there is a another culture in UK and USA, you cant compare that countrys because its different life!!!
Just hating other people makes you very stupid and ignorant doesnt matter where you from!!!
Live your life, have ,drugs,alcohol,love,job,kids,marriage..And every smart and stupid things what makes you stronger for fighting in life..Hate doesnt make you good person!! It makes you a sheep and ignorant!!!
Be what you really want, not something what everybody wants!!!!!
thats what you are you yanky fuck noodle and o can i teabag your missus
what the fuck you chating you silly bitch brainwashed its you fucking idiots that keep putting most of the fucking hate mail on
already teabaged your mam she was real sweet and a great squeeler but the dirty bitch squted all over me ha ha ha
I think your talking about your mumsy. Do yourself a favor and stick your tiny uncircumsized dick in your mama arse ... HEH HEH HEH!!! That filthy pale white skinned cunt wants her son and a Pakis black dick both inside her English arse simultaneously. Enjoy your mama motha fucka!!! Your turn motha fucka!!
This is plain retarded and so are the majority that posted. Also I love the fact that Britain is only made up of English people. You all made me laugh with the amount of fallacies from Ignorance. These were obviously reasons made by someone that is trying to be a "troll" and see what the English think. I am Scottish and despite things that happened a couple hundred years ago, I have to stick up for my countrymen.
1) Hitler never invaded England. The whole battle that was pretty historically important kinda stopped him from doing so, you know, the whole BATTLE OF BRITAIN... He never made it in because of our air superiority and better pilots. We were technically under siege as he bombed us.
2) You talk as if Britain was insignificant in the war, like you would have won if we weren't there. You could not have. We were the staging point for the whole of the landings!
3) I can't be bothered posting anymore and either way I am wasting my time, you insignificant, arrogant slime. You would all (the majority) do well and shut your mouth before your countries become more ashamed...
This is all fucking bullshit, London was never been occupied, it was bombed, that was all, FYI you need to check you facts because the English took over Washington, during the war of 1814 after winning the battle of Bladensburg the British conquered Washington and burnt most of the city to the ground, they held the city for just under 24 hours until the treaty was signed, now don't get me wrong I have nothing against the united states of the American people, but if your going to TRY and disrespect a country try getting you facts right first, now I hope that not all of the population of the US in like you because then to put it frankly yes you would be arrogant and yes your country is doomed. So let's hope.
And the US and the UK have been great allies for centuries now and probably will be for a long time, but the uk after WW2 was the only country on the planet to pay the debt in full to the US leaving us in massive amounts of debt, no other country did this.
Now unless you think you (and you alone) deserve a whole planet to yourself I suggest growing a pair and stuting the fuck up. Oh and another thing your arguments saying why the US is the strongest country are pathetic.
F*** me, does it really matter which country is better, America done some stupid things and so did England but they both have got good things too.. Flipping heck this is like reading a b**** fight that you cant just drop.. All of you who are Americans and English, just shut up comparing
read this comment the other day that said we celebrate boring christmas well what do the americans celebrate halloween because they beleave in witches and they go begging for food the bunch of fucking gollywogs
Look fuck off you stupid fat lazy Americans just cause you have alot of gaming records dosent mean your better then us the only the good thing you made was hot dogs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Menu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Breakfast-Hot dogs
Lunch-Hot dogs in dip
Dinner-Hot dogs with a side of mini hot dogs
Desert-A real hot dog (dog)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So yea fuck off Britain win dumbass!
spot on pal dont you think those americans a flash basterds as well or and the lik everything big the fat donut eating cunts
oh wow some real retard, firstly what language do you speak, english so atleast speak my language properly yes i'm from england yes part of britain a county which once ruled 1/3 of the world including america but yes you won a battle for independence so good on you, but that doesnt justify saying britain is not as good as you and you can't go saying inaccurate crap, yes you have the internet but learn how to use it properly england was never invaded on a large scale during ww2 yes by spies but so was america and by the way and englishmen invented the internet look up that! and we don't all have bad teeth just like the stereotype of an american is a fat society but that's not what I think of when I think of americans because im not as narrow minded as you, but you do sound like a fat dumb prick go get yourself a happy meal ans hey if americans don't like britain and we are nothing why do all of your celebs drive range rovers? and why do your smartphones use english designed ARM processors
England is the finest country in the world. Americans have no class.
i surpose you bailed us out in the battle of britain then and another point big ass yanky land lost against vietnam did little britain lose against the argantines in the folklands war no we had them for cannon fodder
already knew all that albert ainstein but we never beged you for help and britains army was never wiped out most of the people were inocent civilians and why do you think we got bombarded to wipe out the R I F because the germans feared us and you wanna be thankfull we pulled through beacause where else would have got your intel. ever heard of british intelegence
To be honest, it's a ridiculous argument to put forward. It's a matter of opinion. Okay, you think America is better than Britain - alright. I won't get annoyed with that, I won't hold it against you. But you're stating it like it's a fact.
Britain and America are both two different countries, with two different cultures, different histories (although shared), two different accents, different abilities, different downfalls, different attributes. My point is that they are incomparable. You can't take one country and say that it is better than another because they both contribute different things to the world. To say that one country is 'better' than another, or that a country is 'best' means to say that it could exist on it's own without any help or any foundations. It can't do that. Every country in the world has a valuable role to play in the greater scheme of things. And although it may seem that it should be the biggest and the most powerful countries who are the best - it simply isn't true. You wouldn't survive without some simple cells that go around in your body. It's the same with the world. You wouldn't have a watch on your wrist if it wasn't for Sweden. You wouldn't have a sandwich or a burger if it wasn't for Mr. Sandwich (a real person). Most of our sanitary rituals come from Rome (going to the toilet, having a bath etc.).
Britain and America are both different countries - and without one, the other couldn't exist. To say one is better than the other is like saying a steering wheel is better than an engine. They both play their roles in making a car function. Two different, incomparible things. WWII probably wouldn't have gone as it did without Britain, considering they were the one's to declare war. And the same goes for America, considering they were a powerful aid in finishing off and helping their allies in what was started.
If we're talking about power here, then, okay - America is more powerful than Britain. Well done. Does that make them better? The term 'Superpower' was invented because of the British Empire, which lost that title around the end of WWII. The title was then applied to The Soviet Union and the US. But now, the US is considered to be the only superpower. Maybe one day, America will no longer be a superpower, and there will be others. Will then those other superpowers be better than America? I don't think so - although they may think so in the spur of the moment and the size of their power.
My overall point is. You cannot compare countries like that. They both differ in many ways, and contribute to life as we know it. Britain and America are some of the few most recent pioneers in modern life today, and if it wasn't for them you can say bye to electricity (which pretty much involves every other modern day device), aviation, toilet paper etc. They both have things to be proud of. So why can't we all recognise that they both have pros and cons. So, well done to the Americans and the Brits - two great countries.
(I'm British)
Well, Brittan are quite elegant, we have class, and if it wasn't for France, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and a load of other countries came to America so the Native Americans are the proper Americans I have cousins in American and Canada and those countries are great places

you wanna know what astralia is you little dickhead a country that got populated by ex prisoners that us apparently very bad brits sent from are coutry because we ran out of room for you
Firstly, why does it matter if victoria Beckham isnt a celebrity in the US, it doesnt make america more superior, nor does it matter if you drive on the right, its a fucking road you twat. Football was invented in the uk in the first place and you yanks just made american football because you cant do anything usefull, same as the lightbulb was made by Humphrey davy, but you yanks stole it and said thomas eddison made it, yeah child pornography is bad, but it doesnt make you better than england. And just so you know, the US didnt win the war you just joined in because you got owned by a few japanese planes so you cried and nuked an innocent city, then said you won the war and saved the day. also, you were beat in the vietnam war which you all fail to live with and teach everyone else that you won because you cant face the truth. finally, ever since you decided to go to war with terrorists you just make it worse for yourselves, they will NEVER stop, you will just keep getting your buildings bombed and then go try again. it wont end.
lol i love it, shows how retarded this particular AMERICAN is!, why dont you go have a cheese burger and grow?, and join the rest of the morality rate of america lol
why Britain is better than (United States of) America:
* We had a glorious empire, whereas America is still trying to acquire one, but will fail as China surpasses (surpassed) it to become the most dominant superpower.
* We have our own place names, rather than stealing others and putting ‘New’ in front of them
* We joined both world wars before the end outcome was inevitable.
Of course that's just baiting. I know that most 'Americans' aren't as arrogant and retarded in their views as this blog author.
go and fuck your mam vigin boy retard all english girls are fat ugly and will fuck any thick and love my big amercan dick go and get a fat ugly bitch and fuck her gay boy fuck head bumer boy retard ha ha ha

The author probably meant the Yanks successfully invaded England and occupied London. Now that's a fact.
"Operation Sea Lion (German: Unternehmen Seelöwe) was Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom during the Second World War, beginning in 1940. To have had any chance of success, however, the operation would have required air and naval supremacy over the English Channel. With the German defeat in the Battle of Britain, Sea Lion was postponed indefinitely on 17 September 1940 and never carried out.[2]"
London was NEVER occupied by the Germans. Typically though, you've rushed in without doing the research properly. Well done. Impressive.
What you say is absolutely correct. Am not going to argue with you on that one except it wasn't the Germans but the Yanks who was successful in invading England in the 1940's. Close to two million of your former subjects set foot on good ole England and dated every single fine young English women, and consequently sowed their Yankee wild DNA.
What a bunch of tits. Seriously, read over what some of you have written in the past- its embarrassing...
good day to yankyland all you fat tit heads have your burger and sugerfull milkshakes for brekfast this morning
i like the way the yanks keep saying us british people are kidie fidlers and very sick people and what are they a bunch of murdering necrothiles ever read murder books most of them are americans theres ted bundy ed gein john wayne gacy who murderd boys the list goes on and on and on its them thats very sick people indeed
And the first ever recorded serial killer was Jack, the fine English gent, Ripper. All the sick and despicable behavior you see in America originated from good ole England.
Er. excuse me love, but didnt you even just write that he was the first "recorded" serial killer? Yeah, the first recorded, doesnt mean he's the first Also, it was never confirmed he was a fine English gent as you say, one of the suspects was a woman, So, get your facts straight.
