The people living in America before the current lot, i.e. the native Americans, the folk post Columbus, then the people fighting the British, and now the Empire builders all have history and traditions. Thanksgiving and such like.
Anyway, my opinion remains the same. Bush America = Victorian England. Both ludicrously religious, patriotic, domineering, introspective, greedy and despised by the people they exploit.

Gandalf sounds English to me. As does Sam, Frodo, Merry, Theoden, etc. Except Pippin, who sounds Glaswegian.In Shanghai Knights, Jackie Chan, very American!
Jon Voigt was tha bad dude in Mission Impossible, although there was that Max woman too.
It always seems preferrable to Americans that THEY save the world, while in reality they are the most likely to **** it up in the first place.
But I take your point. America is the biggest market, so the more American good guys in films the more likely yanks will be to like it. Also, naebdy likes the English, the whole history of thievin' other folks countrys (Scotland, Oz, India etc etc etc), so they make good bad guys.
haha, if Scotland wasnt such a shit country in the first place they wouldve been able to stop us taking it...
England is a good country for bad guys because the accent is quite pompous nd almost arrogant sounding.
infact, Britain is more likely to save the world than America
SJS, the Uk definitely does have a knobhead head dude that rules the country! Tony "chimp-face" Blair. He's very much like George W "chimp-face" Bush.
Oh and Df02, if Scotland is so shit, how come England wanted it for 700 odd years? And how come a nation a tenth of the size of England kept the bawbags out for that long?
In my opinion England is the worst country in the world, so I suppose America has to be better, but only just.

scotland suck at everything..especially football 😎
england wanted scotland so they could turn it into a great country..thats why...but now it will never be a great country
Why are we fighting the Scots. I love Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and im the most patriotic person ever (i come from England) I love were i come from, and i never say im proud to be English, i always say im proud to be British, C'mon we are the UNITED Kingdom, lets stand united against the gits who are killing us over in Iraq, you know the Americans.
Oh and by the way all you americans who said this thread is just Brits bitching about the Americans cos no Americans have showed up yet to defend themselves, well thats just typical. Bloody Americans always showing up late for every war!

🙁 Whats so crappy about Scotland? If were rubbish at sport, how come weve won Elephant Polo and Curling in the past huh?
And as for never being like England, lets face it, who wants to be like it
😛
Why are countries competing with each other?
Uk is not better than USA and USA is not better than UK.
Most people are saying that a country 'is like ....' but you can't say that, cus you are basing it on a stereotype of people in that country. Stereotypes are totally wrong, the stereotype of english people (seen by other countries) is totally stupid, i do not know one person who talks acts or thinks like that.
Actually i think its rude to say that one country or city or state or whatever 'are..........'. One person: ok, but a country/city/state thats just wrong! Its completely prejudice.
