D - you need to be the head of the UN - the world WILL be a better place!!!plan_D said:Yes, they do interfere every where. They do have to get involved. They do blow things up. America is a prick, and god damn it's exactly what this world needs right now 'cos all the rest of the countries are pussies or assholes.
heheheheheheplan_D said:America is loud and obnoxious because it's the Super Power. When Britain ruled the world, we were pretty loud and obnoxious too. We wore Red Coats in the British Army to inform the enemy we were there. Normally, you want to surprise the enemy but not in Britain. We were so powerful we didn't care if the enemy knew ! At least American military wears camo.

The amount of mistakes made by the current admin that have cost the lives of Americans, and other nationalities is pathetic.
And before anyone (syscom is the most likely culprit) says "Britain should look after it's own troops." Well, maybe next time we'll leave them at home and have the U.S do everything on their own.
... come to Britain and see how the British react around you. You'll find that most British people idolise Americans ... they do it so much it actually puts me on the brink of vomiting.

Too true I'm afraid. Yet it's been my experience that an awful lot of those doing the bitching and moaning are exactly the same way. Like syscom says, it's a form of "group think". People are sheep, and too often don't really have a clue about what they're complaining for.DerAdlerIstGelandet said:That is not just what England thinks, that is what the majority of the world thinks.
Sure sounds a lot like this place, except you can basically replace Bush with the US in general in that statement. The thing is, Canadians and Americans are practically the same people. The differences are superficial at best. More often than not it's merely a case of different terminology. Provinces vice states, we're metric and they're not, and that sort of thing. I think in our case the bad mouthing stems more from a desperate need to differentiate ourselves from our American bros, and we often take it a bit far in my opinion. It seems that we'll often do the opposite simply for the sake thereof, whether it makes any sense to do so or not. At least that's been my observation over the years. I dunno. It's a form of deep rooted insecurity that's infected people on a national scale. I think it's utterly foolish.syscom3 said:I was dumbfounded on how so many people were brain washed by their govt media to hate Bush. Yet noone could say really why. It reminded me of the right wing idiots who hated Clinton in the 90's. Really weird. Group think taken to an extreme.
