Indeed. Many people think us brits are stupid... That's not true, just the majority of teens here are immature and act stupid to 'be cool' infront of their friends. It's called peer pressure, and fear of acceptance. Many Americans are just plain stupid. And many of these are actually adults. The majority of americans don't even know where the country they are at war with, is. Some have never even heard of England. And some don't even know about other parts of America. I rest my case.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtXCs0Wqs9Q&feature=related I honestly could answer most of those.

The Merovingian wrote on Sun, 18 November 2007 09:31 ^ My point EXACTLY! "Which state does Kentucky Fried Chicken originate?" ".... I have no idea...." "Where is the Berlin Wall?" "......." Can you see what i mean now? To be fair you can find people with that much of a lack of knowledge anywhere if you look hard enough. The only thing I will say is that I feel the UK is a lot more measured with what it says concerning happenings around the globe. In comparison the USA demands this or that to happen effectively taking up the role of world bully. You can mock a lot of American people for knowing nothing about the outside world but perhaps you would be the same if you lived in a country as large as it is. It would be nice for America to really concentrate on its economy and extreme debt instead of putting an immeasurable amount of resources in the war on terror.
It's easy to call another nation's population ignorant. It's also funny that in doing so, you become ignorant by pointing fingers at a situation you know nothing about. At least, as Americans, we don't give much thought to your leaders. However, that never seems to be the case for other nations. Our leaders are all looked down upon and judged by outsiders. Granted, some of this comes from the fact that America seems to want to be the world's police. However, we could look intently into your politics and give you our opinions on your government, but we don't. As far as the "world police" thing goes... I don't necessarily agree with it, but there's always going to be one nation that leads in the world's politics. Honestly, would you rather that be China or Russia at this point? No other nation really has the power to "run" the world. Again, not that I view this as correct, but there's not much else you can do about it. Obviously, the UN is worthless. Another thing, many many many nations call out to the US for help, whether it be to use military force to smother some resistance or financial aid, America is asked to be the world's savior. I find this funny that we're supposed to both be the savior, but we're supposed to back off when it comes to foreign affairs? Get real. If we're spending money and resources to help other countries, we're going to be in the foreign affairs of those countries. We're going to protect our investments. If you don't want us hoarding the power in world politics, maybe your whiny countries should step up. If you truly want the US to just be another country in the world's politics instead of THE country, maybe you should stop singling us out. You back us into a corner, we're going to flex our muscles. Do you expect us to just bow to your demands when you have no presence in the world political arena? Finally, there's no point in trying to suggest that one nation's better than the other. We all have our pros and cons. No need to be arrogant and try to profess your nation's supremacy. That shit just fuels hatred for one another and gets us farther away from "peace" than understanding each other would.

Why hate em? We can go down there and buy everything so cheap it makes our eyes bleed. AND, no illegals get past their nothern border (or very few), so, go USA!
Although this isn't too relevant here I do actually respect Russia for standing up to the US on certain matters. I can to some degree see Russia becoming a new super power within Europe. Russia now has the money it build itself up once again and I don't think that's any bad thing. You will get people saying there will be a 'cold war 2' but I don't believe a word of it to be honest. Russia's resources with a bit of luck will one day be used for positive means. I am by no means saying Russia are perfect but I think they have cleaned their image up quite a bit bar a few fuck ups (everyone is human...).
Jake....honey I love you, but most the world looks down on your leaders because your leaders have never let the world forget they exist. The USA claims to be the worlds ONLY superpower. If that is in fact the case then of course every other country will critise you/your leadership it's what happens when people get elevated on to pedestals, just don't look down you'll be ok. I've lived in the USA and I currently live in the UK and I can firmly say BOTH GOVERNMENTS SUCK! NEXT STOP CANADA. As for UK > US People from the US think that English people are all TALLY HOE and Mary Poppins with bad teeth. OMG U CAN'T SPELL WHY DO YOU PUT U IN NEIGHBOR AND LABOR People from the UK think Americans are all inbred rednecks with bad education and worse knowledge of life.OMG YOU CANT SPELL WHY DONT YOU PUT U IN NEIGHBOUR AND LABOUR They are called stereotypes.....give each other some credit. The world is more diverse than that! I hate America coz I had a really poor experience there and it just brings back bad memories and feelings so I cut off my nose to spite my face and vowed never to return. But I love most of it's people......I have my reasons. I love England because it's my home country, place of birth and we have healthcare but I hate alot of it's people.....see my point?

Don't forget the amount of Spitfires stolen by Americans that came over here for some war action to get back home post Pearl Harbor. Nice free training and plane they got too.

Uh, no. As soon as the "warpath" started (the invasion of Poland), we declared war pretty much immediately (on the same day, I think?). Sticking up for our friends and allies, see? Whereas the US hung around on the sidelines for a good two years. Even after Pearl Harbour was bombed, you still didn't declare war on Germany. They declared war on you. America took so god damn long to get into World War 2 for political reasons, end of. Neither of the Presidential candidates dared it.

I wouldn't say the warpath started with Poland...what about the Rhineland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia? Of course we didn't declare war on Germany...they hadn't provoked us(though we did have skirmishes on the North Atlantic...which strangely enough was because of the material we were shipping to your country). Frankly I don't blame the US for taking so long to jump into the conflict with our friends and allies, we "jumped" into another conflict 20 years earlier...and all we got was the flu, a thank you card, and another war.

Quote: YOUR government isn't perfect....have a look at the American War in Vietnam...... You're right, our government isn't perfect, I will never claim it is. Vietnam was one of those circumstances where we jumped "into the fray" to help our allies.

They declared war on you. Just a quick quip... yes, Britain and France declared war on Germany after Poland's invasion, but little was done. They don't call that period the 'Phony War' for no reason. It was generally when Atlantic trade was interrupted by the Germans, that the party got started. Remember too, that Germany's belligerence was often secretly welcomed by America, and England. A powerful Germany, governed by a fierce anti-communist, meant that the country would become a powerful economic power, and trading partner. And another thing... America declared war on the Axis, because Germany was trying to coerce Mexico to invade the United States, in order to distract America from affairs in Europe. Hitler knew that if America were to enter the war, it would turn the tide. It wasn't just Pearl Harbour that brought the Americans in.

It makes me think America is the one country that hasn't gotten over World War 2, sometimes. If retards like that want to see a true example of selfless action to help an ally, they should look to the nation they love to bitch at for being spineless: France, the country that bailed them out. That would be ignorant, though... it's surely a minority.

Spoony has completely cracked the point through. As for the health care system argument you are either going to pay more taxes or have a shitty system it's as simple as that. Health insurance is another matter but I simply don't know enough about it to comment (That Michael Moore film does NOT mean I know anything about it...). Also notice how I am intending not to comment about things I know nothing or very little about perhaps some others should consider doing the same...

That would be ignorant, though... it's surely a minority. The French didn't help us until we defeated the British at Saratoga. That started to change the tide of the war. I am confident in saying that we could have won without the French. We couldn't have won as easily, but I feel we would have without the French. As far as regarding them as spineless, I still feel that way about the French. Just because they may have helped us back 200-something years ago doesn't mean that things haven't changed. Things obviously have. We've become the world's largest superpower.

The USA claims to be the worlds ONLY superpower. If that is in fact the case then of course every other country will critise you/your leadership it's what happens when people get elevated on to pedestals, just don't look down you'll be ok. I've lived in the USA and I currently live in the UK and I can firmly say BOTH GOVERNMENTS SUCK! NEXT STOP CANADA. As for UK > US People from the US think that English people are all TALLY HOE and Mary Poppins with bad teeth. OMG U CAN'T SPELL WHY DO YOU PUT U IN NEIGHBOR AND LABOR People from the UK think Americans are all inbred rednecks with bad education and worse knowledge of life.OMG YOU CANT SPELL WHY DONT YOU PUT U IN NEIGHBOUR AND LABOUR They are called stereotypes.....give each other some credit. The world is more diverse than that! I hate America coz I had a really poor experience there and it just brings back bad memories and feelings so I cut off my nose to spite my face and vowed never to return. But I love most of it's people......I have my reasons. I love England because it's my home country, place of birth and we have healthcare but I hate alot of it's people.....see my point? At least, my country isn't socialized... yet.

My point wasn't slating America for that, it was a jibe to the multitude of retarded, arrogant Americans who say things like "you'd be speaking German if it wasn't for us" every time they're losing an argument with a European. It makes me think America is the one country that hasn't gotten over World War 2, sometimes. If retards like that want to see a true example of selfless action to help an ally, they should look to the nation they love to bitch at for being spineless: France, the country that bailed them out. That would be ignorant, though... it's surely a minority. Now that I see your point, I understand. But I also understand why you might see this as the case, though in defense, I have heard maybe one person ever say that. And he's an asshole, which I'm sure you have in the UK too. I don't imagine that French assistance in the American Revolution was selfless, though. No nation goes into a war without an agenda. To put it simply, France would've loved to see Britain screwed over by losing a colony, especially since they lost a lot of territory to them.

It's funny because most europeans makes fun of us 24/7, and when we say one little thing about them, they get all offensive saying that we make fun of them a lot. It's funny because America is mostly made up of Ex-Europeans. It's funny when Europeans are touring in america or something, and spend most of their time looking for a group of fat people to take a pic of to make all of America look fat. It's funny when a single American is stupid, Europeans and other countries assume it's all of America than a single American.
Subjective topics suck. Oh wait, this is Heated Discussions and Debates...
I think no one really is taking this for real, it's just a topic to piss about. I've been in enough UK vs US wars to last me for life, there is little point to them.

Ryu wrote on Mon, 19 November 2007 03:03 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2582-Ze ro-Punctuation-MOH-Airborne Hahaha that's hilarious. At the end of the day perhaps the history books according to Hollywood is of more interest to some people than what actually happened. I am trying to think of a way of diverting this topic from opinions (factual or otherwise) of Governments and war outcomes. The only thing I can currently come up with is currency strength which is actually rather boring. Needless to say bad decisions by lenders in the US has caused a lot of trouble around the globe although I don't know whether to blame the lenders or the people that can't pay their bills.
Ridiculous topic. The UK is our best and most valuable ally. Both sides have points in discussing history here, but quite frankly this is purely a matter of opinion. The very fact that 200 years after a massive conflict between our nations we are reconciled and work together so well is a testament to civilization and the free world. Of all nations, Britain gets my undying respect for their quality of character and hardiness as well as their dignified stance in the face of annihilation. You should think twice before insulting a nation that stared down the most aggressive and dangerous European empire in the last 2000 years. Likewise, America should get credit for the role it has played in that same conflict. Democracy and freedom in it's current iteration hinges on the success of our nations. Why don't we discuss something with more meaning like: Why is Putin reverting Russia's fledgling democracy to communist nationalism and what are the implications of their rotting nuclear infrastructure on world stability.

But remember you're talking to a group selected for its ignorance. This is hardly a representative sample of the core of America. Americans get tagged with this label after Jay Leno talks with trailer trash or paris hilton wannabees about politics, and Europeans beleive it....
Oh I know, at it was meant as satire as well, in no means was it intended to be taken seriously. Unfortunately because it plays on those already-established stereotypes, people use it as "proof". I thought it would just be a humorous thing to include in the discussion since stereotypes were mentioned.
Ok, I have to say that KIRBY-098 seems to have summed this topic up brilliantly and in a balanced way so I'm out of this debate now.

We were your number one supplier of war material(lend lease)...you know...the stuff that allowed you to fight Hitler(this is not even mentioning the First World War) and kept him from squashing you like every other European country (principally naval resources). It was "your" war because you let it brew right in your own back yard....England and France pressed the Versailles Treaty because of hatred and revenge...and then appeased the madmen that resulted from it when they started on their warpath. Uh, no. As soon as the "warpath" started (the invasion of Poland), we declared war pretty much immediately (on the same day, I think?). Sticking up for our friends and allies, see? Whereas the US hung around on the sidelines for a good two years. Even after Pearl Harbour was bombed, you still didn't declare war on Germany. They declared war on you. America took so god damn long to get into World War 2 for political reasons, end of. Neither of the Presidential candidates dared it. We didn't care about that, our friends and allies were attacked so we jumped into the fray. America can't claim that. We get bashed for staying out and we get bashed for doing something... :/
