One war, which, if you'd know anything about empires would have happened eventually..Afterall, empires aren't eternal.
Saved us from destruction twice? Not really... Russia played a greater role in European warfare during the World Wars than America. A more powerful economy yet the GBP does remarkable better than the USD. Also, as for military power, you may have greater numbers and thus have a slightely better global power projection yet the British military is one the the best trained forces in the world. Why we have two seperate special forces (SBS and SAS) with exstentive training in an array of tasks. Also, the British Armed Forces, unlinke the America Military, can actually fight a war on their own and win.

You won't get any. American girls don't like British men any more so than women of ANY country like another man of ANY seperate country.

I have a fascination with German girls, that doesn't really mean anything. British women like Americans because we actually smile and laugh when we talk to girls. British guys just go "hmm yes, quite so" and try to hide their hideous teeth.

I don't reckon many british say that, an the ones who do wont get ne girls either side of the pond. And i've yet to see a british girl go mad over an american accent.

I know we treat the americans with disdain, but I thought that kinda shit just runs off their backs.
We do treat the Americans with disdain but it is alot more like an older brother treats their younger brother with disdain.. After all, technically America is Britains little brother.

Americas not the foundaton for anything British. If anything it's the other way round.

the First world war, America wasn't even a major factor to the allied victory. It was the french, the britsh empire an the Russian empire.
The Second world war, British won the Battle of Britain which if we lost would of led to a land invasion. You helped save france and helped win the war. Along with all the other countries who sent men to die,

and Don't start with that bollocks with rememberence day coming up.

How is Britain the bigger brother? You may be older, but you're a withering old man in that case.

I think americans should get out more, into the world. Like spain. Brits love spain. Except me. Too hot.
I don't like spain... The culture just doesn't appeal to me.. I'd prefer to go to Italy, Greece or someplace in Asia.
Its easy for people to say that Americans need to get into the world more. But the only countries that border us are Canada and Mexico, which many Americans go to. And it costs many thousands of dollars to get round-trip tickets to Europe. or Asia. Europeans have the luxury of travelling shorter distances to reach a different country because Europe is small and divided by many countries. The US is much larger, and the surrounding countries aren't nearly as interesting or hospitable as European countries.

Americans don't want to go to Central or South America because their countries are poor and don't have very good tourist areas. Therefore Americans don't have the luxury that Europeans do of going to many different countries in less time and with less money.

When I went across the English channel to Paris when I had my European trip, It cost what was equivalent to about $40 US dollars or about 27 GBP. It was quick and easy to go to a very different country.

You could of flown to rome for that amount.

To go to Paris from the US it costs about over $1000 and takes 9 hours by airplane.

Think about it...

Travelling around europe is nearly as easy as travelling from state to state these days.

It seems that whenever there's a topic like this you get the usual inbred hicks coming out saying "OMG WE SAVED UR ASSES IN WW2". Even if America did single handedly save us, you people didn't. You just like to sit in front of a computer taking credit for the work of previous generations. You people are a disgrace, taking credit for the people who made real sacrifices fighting Nazi domination.

i beleive there is no hate between america and england, just politics and government, if one thing scares the other they have a big 'serious' debate on whos the bigger country, and they try to scare each other with war and how many gunz they have, in the end, its just a kiddys tiff because they involve other people into it to side against each other except between 2 countries so i say this between the 2 countries, we all need to grow up....

That's bollocks, some of us bloody well do eat crumpets and drink tea, not me, personally; but some of my family are great fans of them- just as the majority of American's like fast food.
It's not stereotyping, it's statistics.

Soon enough, it won't be a problem, mind you. Considering England is pretty much becoming another state of America.

America, as a country, is ignorant towards the outside world, and as much as it pains me to say it, Britain is full of either smartass bastards like Tony Blair, or crude assholes like the majority of teenagers nowadays.

Britain is nothing like it is in the movies, it's turning into America. We don't like Golf, we like Football (Soccer) and Rugby (American Football).
We eat more Mcdonald's than we do crumpets.
We drink Tea just as much as you drink Coffee.
Our teeth are no worse than yours.
Nor do we speak with an upperclass tone, most of Britons are uneducated slobs-- hey! Another thing Britain and America have in common.

Gee, we're not so different after all.

A little brother that beat in in a war, that saved you from destruction twice. And that continutes to be the foundation of your economy, policies, and military doctrine.

america didnt win ww1 or ww2, they came in during the last years of conflict when the war was already nearly won and took all the glory. you have a population 5 times bigger, england is way more than 5 times smaller so in comparisant we have more people. your only military advantage is numbers and you throw bombs at countries you are the monsters that you have been fighting in asia.

Three reasons to like the British:

1. They produced John Locke
2. London is MUCH nicer than Paris (and the people are much nicer as well)
3. Marks and Spencers...what more can I say?

apperently the french are the most rude ill mannered race in europe, tea rocks.

In WWI the allies were losing until the US entered the war, in WWII the allies were losing until the US entered the war. In WWII all the allies were running out of war material before the US entered, the British and Russians got almost all of their equipment, supplies, fuel, ammunition, vehicles etc.. from the US long before the US entered the war. Russia and the British both depended HEAVILY on the US for equipment, both countries would have been fucked over (and were getting fucked over) before the US did this, and even then... they needed the US to enter with troops.

Also, the US was the only country to fight in every major theatre of war. Africa, the Mediterranean, Europe, and Africa. The US single handedly defeated the Japanese, and lead the allies against the Germans from D-day onward. Meanwhile Russia only fought the Germans to any significant degree (while using US-provided equipment and supplies) , and the British only fought the Germans and Italians, but so did the US, and the US did more in Western Europe.

you have a population 5 times bigger, england is way more than 5 times smaller so in comparisant we have more people.

Um no... in comparison you have less people because well, you have LESS PEOPLE. You have a higher population density, which means absolutely jackshit.

your only military advantage is numbers

Haha, actually our military advantage is that we are superior in every aspect. The US military is not only larger with more personnel and equipment, but we have MUCH more advanced technology, and we have many capabilities that no other countries have, and things that YOUR country depends on the US for. The US is the only country with a fleet of long-range bombers, the only country with stealth bombers and stealth fighter planes (let alone any stealth aircraft), we are the only country with supercarriers, with independent strategic airlift, independent Global Positioning, the ONLY country with significant force projection.

Your country is dependent on the US, it's hilarious when stupid Brits suggest they have anything over the US. Your country's military can't even operate without the US. All of Europe (Including your country) relies on the US for GPS, your only access to satellite navigation and guidance is via AMERICAN provided-GPS. Your country, along with the rest of Europe is trying to develop an independent GPS-like system called GALILEO, but it's basically a TOTAL failure, in fact it was HACKED by American college students.

The whole European Union (which includes your country), has only has 10% of the military capabilities the US has even though your military expenditure is half that of the US.

Now as for your country individually, your country doesn't even have an independent nuclear deterrent (not mentioning the fact that everything else your military has depends on the US basically). All the nukes and nuke delivery systems that your country has DEPEND ON THE US. They were manufactured in the US, they are OWNED by the US, the US only leases them to you. Your parliament admits this.

All the nukes inside of your country are controlled by the US Airforce. The ones you have on nuclear submarines are the Tridents that are leased to you, and are almost entirely dependent on the US in order to function because they rely on weather and gravitational data, GPS coordinates, US-provided maintenance and repair.

Your country, of all countries, is in no position to criticize the US military considering it's the only reason YOUR military even has the relative power it has today, due to American mercy.


Yay, Obama won. Let's thank his supporters:
-The compliant mainstream media for their pro-Obama propaganda.
-Black Panthers for their intimidation of voters.

After reading through a couple of these comments all I can say is nobody hates anybody.
Poster just happened to run into your typical arrogant American and people are now reciting WWII, and about how great America is. Hey, don't forget the French helped us found our fucking nation. Yes we're the greatest military power in the world, but we're not the greatest in everything and seriously, if you're another arrogant American - get over yourself you haven't done shit that's deserving of an accolade.
That said I hate British accents. I can't help but feel as though its pretentious, and your overpopulation of Chavs annoy me even more so.

I'm a Brit, and alot of people stating about WWII have valid points. Except I ask you this. If you guys are so awesomely all powerful, how the fuck comes you keep "friendly" firing? There's nothing friendly about killing our troops in Iraq. I quote some drunk I heard in the pub. "What's the difference between a British troop and an Iraqi troop? Don't know? Welcome to the United States airforce!". Remember, we're doing you guys a favour so you can get your oil, so it'd be nice to have all our troops return home, without a US rocket sticking out of their ass. Kind regards.

I still don't know what WW2 has got to do with it. Me things it's some cunt who wants to win an un-winnable argument starting spouting and has got out of hand.

Fair enough

What's wrong with our accent? It's alluring and calms the soul of every James Bond fan in the world LOL

Yes Chavs are a problem. But we're sorting it out. The secret is they only bother you in groups because they're too chicken shit to do it themselves, so we're finding them while they're alone and.........
