Is it because our healthcare system is evil?

By "evil", Sarah Palin means "One where anyone can be treated, and without the liklihood of their health insurance company going out of their way not to pay for their treatment."

An amusing sidenote is David Cameron is now saying the Tories are the NHS party - even though the NHS was cripplingly underfunded by both Thatcher and Major for the period of 1979-1997, which makes a lot of the £200bn underfunding it has been subject to over the past 30 years.

I wasn't aware at the last american hate meeting that England was on the list.If you went to the meeting did you catch anyone saying they hated the British people?I know the government,Obama,and Polar bears were on the list.

On a side note, the UK banking bailouts are totaled to £1,227bn. I wonder if the politicians will tell the electorate that the government would have to make spending cuts in boom times, in accordance with Keynesian principles because the government would also have to raise taxes to pay off some of the debt. When push comes to shove, the NHS finances would be constrained.

Even more so given how hospitals have more administrators than nurses, and how Blair wasted £20bn of NHS funding on a computer system they never used.

In other words, the NHS isn't evil - the underfunding it got under the Tories has, however, made it so crippled it probably has to go BUPA.

England is not America, that's about it.
The American thought can be translated to a formula; I>U

Most Muslims are quite peacefull (if they'd all want to blow up themselves then there wouldn't be any muslim left, now would they), and most of the terrorist-attacks have more civilian casualities than actual targets hit, most terrorist attacks are done in muslim countries so most people who died of terrorist-attacks are probably muslim.

Why no pride in that? The nazis were the most evil regime in history. We can go on and on all day who's more evil but I"m sure we're all in agreement the Nazis were evil. They got what they deserved. Still no pride in sinking The Bismarck, why?

Modesty! Also their nothing to be proud about when you take someones life. Even during war, even when the enemy do evil things theirs no pride in killing. The sense of pride comes from knowing you stopped fascism. We celebrate that with VE day!

I'd be willing to stop hating them if in return they taught us about all of their unique European phrases, like "tickled pink."

WOW! wait a second. That is a huge stereotype that most Muslims are terrorists. Islam is a very peaceful religion, and they do not hate us, quite the opposite. actually, islam is a very interesting culture and please, the next time you say something like that, make sure you know what you are talking about, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything.

Granted, but im sure i remember hearing some where that in there holy book it does say 'kill the infidels' or something along that line.

Not the peoples fault, again its religion screwing everything up. Instead of hating countries (yes, even the french...) we should move that hate onto religion. There the reason the world is fucked up. Lets just kill god... Anyone with me?

I have a few problems with England but I know that they are not a bunch of haughty, tea-slippin', jackasses without dental insurance. However I disagree with their stances in politics and generally don't like English comedies. I do like it more than American though.

England Is a big player in the international world. and many massive entities will natrualy gather stereotypes, and no website is a fair representation of any national opinion.

Seriously? I'm always hearing about America taking heat from European countries, never the other way around.

The stereotype of the England hating American has been around for some time. Not surprising really, when you consider the British used to run the place, albeit hundreds of years ago; there'll always be some morons around holding bullshit prejudices.
