Why do Brits have such an inferiority complex with the U.S.?

Quoth The Raven

Half Arsed Muse
From wiki:
Less than a day after the attack began, a hurricane which included a tornado passed through, damaging the invaders and putting out the fires. This forced the British troops to return to their ships, many of which were badly damaged by the storm, and so the actual occupation of Washington lasted about 26 hours. President Madison and the rest of the government quickly returned to the city.

Hmm...maybe we do have God on our side after all. :p
Ah, so it's not Georgie boy that's the bag of wind then...it's an environmental thing.:p

Did I say they weren't socialist?

"Universal health care is socialist!" is a stupid argument against it, when other socialist measures are taken in the USA.
It's a fine argument when you despise the socialist methods that have been taken in the USA and will fight tooth and nail to stop any more of them from being implemented.

Let go
Are we still talking about this?
1. God is American

2. Satan is probably French.

Therefore, America is greater than Britain.

Case closed.

Yeah people having the right to health care no matter their social status. What a silly concept! :p

I have a friend who's annoyingly anti-American though.Like, he's overdoing it and always talking about something the Americans did that he interprets as stupid.

"LOL AMERICANS DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH PROPERLY" "Actually they speak a dialect of English. Jamaicans do too" "YEAH BUT THE JAMAICANS ARE COOL LOL"

"THOSE SILLY AMERICANS, TAKING HAMBURGERS AND FRENCH FRIES AS THEIR OWN CULTURE" "Maybe they just like the food and they weren't trying to intentionally steal anything?" "NO LOL"

True story: When I was in Peru someone asked me to describe what American food is like. I couldn't think of anything :)

We've got Italian, French, Mexican, Chinese, German... no American food - unless you count the interesting ways we have put them together.

It's still infinitely better then British food though (with the possible exception of what they stole from India).

BTW - I've got some third and fourth cousins in New Zealand. My Great Great Great Grandpa is buried there.

Yes but he interprets this as Americans being stupid and arrogant.

He interprets every single characteristic of America as stupid and arrogant. It annoys the hell out of me.

I can't really explain on the internet the zealousness and obnoxiousness of his anti-Americanism. This is all while he's a big Star Trek, Batman, Blizzard games and Teen Titans fan as well. All of which are American.

He was born in England and died in 1887 in Wellington. His son started a sheep ranch in Utah, so I assume that they had sheep in New Zealand too - I'm not certain of that though. Some of his kids stayed there. I really don't know the story all that well.

My grandma did get in contact with some of our relatives there when she was doing some Family HIstory work. She even went over and visited them.

Hey, we are getting off topic here. Could we please get back to why the Lobsterbacks are uneducated American wanna-be's with bad teeth, big women and bad food?

Seriously, the only pretty british women were all born between 1943 and 1945 for some strange reason.... *scratches head*


Coincidently, there were also a large number of American men over on the lilly pad then....
