God British Have everything better than the Americans better name (GREAT BRITAIN) better weather yeah sure but wats a few drops of rain to a hurricane or tornado huh better food seeing as tho we are not all obese feel free to protest but it is fact SORRY

Afro Cheese
Us being obese points to the fact that we have better food actually.. better tasting food anyway. And I was in the direct path of two hurricanes this summer, they aren't as bad as you'd think really.

meh o.o britain still is shit though mate. sure we have a monarchy and sure we have posh food and living styles, whoopy doo? i dont, not all of britain are snobs and have great food and homes and such o.O

we sure have crap weather but i am personally interested in such bad weather in the U.S.A i am gonna go storm chasing and i would love it if we had such disasters i absolutly adore natural disasters in all shapes and forms and i wish our country was more exiting in that respect.

im not exactly in shape myself o.O so the fact on not all obese and better eating is completely bullshit o.O so meh. o.o
well i like american people and their culture and their country and i like my own country to of course o.O but we are jsut some small boring little island o.o the only thing i fiond interesting on out own little rock is our own ancient cultures. thats about it blink oh well eh?

Agree about Braveheart, although I'd say it did more of a disservice to Scotland thn England. The portrayal of both English kings seemed fair enough from what I've read. The screwing about with Wallace and Bruce and the battles and just about everything else was shocking.

"In football, you use your foot to kick the ball, hence the name.

Americans add throwing, pads, alter the length of the game etc, i.e. change it completely yet still call it football.

Then they call the original soccer, and expect the rest of the world to adopt this bastard name. Pish.

From hence forth American football shall be known as "soccer." by me."

There are loads of countries that call football by its proper name. Its just that nowadays everyone wants to keep the Americans happy so Soccer is becoming a more global term. Its not a good idea to argue with the US, look what happened to France recently. no expression

Just kidding mate, George Bush basically did every thing in his power to turn the US against the French after they didnt endorse or help him invade Iraq. It worked in some places to, people refused to buy French products and were even seen destroying bottles of French wine. They were labeled traitors by many of the government controlled media. When America freezes you out of their trading circle things can only go down hill for your economy.

These boycotts had no real affect on the French economy.

And besides, though I didn't agree with the war, the French
were a**holes in their behavior. Not to mention big hypocrites,
since I have heard a highly-respected reported here (Sy Hersh)
say that the French and German and Russians did provide
some covert intelligence and special operations aid to the US
invasion.

Funny thread.

Being English is okay. We speak properly for starters. wink

But England itself is the best part of being English... take a week away from the horrid cities and go to somewhere picturesque, like Cornwall or Somerset... indescribably beautiful.

And yes - the history in England is in a league of it's own. My village (Sileby in Leicestershire) has a parish church that's over 900yrs old this year. smile

I disagree, dont generalise the entire population of two countries based on what the politicians decide.


America- Voted bush in, its all they had really, what, you seriously thought Kerry would be good for America?

Britain- We have to vote labour, do you really think we are going to put the Tories in power after last time?

I don't give a rats arse about politics...

but I think you're right to say we can't generalise like that...

But from what I've seen of Americans - admittedly mainly through TV - is that they are very stuck up and care only about themselves... and they're all drama queens but that's another story

The British... not so much.

Britain needs to get rid of the Monarchy

hopefully NZ will become a Republic soon... that means no Queen Camilla for us! not that we really care about the bloody queen anyway
