Is Great Britian the USA big brother

[boozeboxer]

Every other country in the world envies the United States because we have Nick Nolte.

For some reason Great Britian hates the USA or at least the citizens but why is this

I hope you came to this conclusion AFTER you met them all.

LOL

Honestly I went to The Hatton fight in Vegas by myself. Didn't know anyone. Got to partying with the British and they were some of the nicest people I have ever met. Absolutely all top class. Politics never did come up. But Chris Eubanks did oh and they all laughed when I made a Margaret Thatcher comment.

Two major American faults..

Very bad cars (poor power from huge engines, poor chassis, too heavy, shite interior etc)
Even worse houses (the ones made from wood and plastic that they build in storm-heavy areas of all places)

Nothing wrong with Americans in general. I guess they've probably got the same proportion of tw@s as any random place in Europe..... like Austria for example.

I've never had anyone from the UK hate me for being American. I've never heard an American walking down the street or at a social gathering say anything bad about the UK.

I know more people that dislike Canadains.

Everyone LOVES Canadians! ITs that Red Mountie Uniform! The good Canadian Beer, Salmon,Flapjacks,Backbacon! Maple syrup!
Hey our national animal is a Beaver! I'll take beaver over an eagle or lion anyday! ever try and eat an eagle!?

BB that's quite a statement! I was in France for 3 weeks last spring and was thinking I would get a dirty look here and there cause they'd see I was American, but on the contrary I didnt get anything like that and everyone I met went out of their way to be courteous and helpful.

When I was driving through the Alps we pulled over at a rest stop and when this old couple heard our American english they came over and the old lady was going on and on about how the Americans saved her from normandy in WWII and how she loved them and kept squeezing my arm and stuff lol. I was getting eyed up like crazy from all the french woman as well, but basically the only thing I knew how to say is "Je ne parle pon France" = "I do not speak French"



Anyways, the morale of the story is I always heard french people were notorious for showing contempt to outsiders, especially US people but I was there for 3 weeks and NEVER got any of it.
