mattinhoustontx	Apparently you haven't read your answers from your last "bash America" question. Let me school you on a few things: British forces have also committed fratracide. If you consider that there are 140,000 American troops in the Middle East, compared to 7,000 British troops, you would see that the rate of fratricide among British troops is actually much higher (well, you are so dim that you still might not see it, but an intelligent person would). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/12/11/uinquest111.xml http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read/49908 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4468088.stm Again, Yahoo already posted an article about the obesity rate in Europe (especially England) being higher than in the US. Unemployment is much higher in Europe too, btw. As far as passports are concerned, we have not needed them to travel to many countries. The new law requiring a passport goes into effect in 2007, so you may see more passports being issued after that time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tonatiuh	not all Americans are as you depict us..... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jennifer W	Geopolitics is so much like highschool. The nerds, losers, and burnouts slag off the popular kids because the popular kids behave like assholes. Why? Because they can. They're beautiful, powerful, accomplished, accepted, and don't need the approval of anyone but their peers. And it drives the outgroup crazy. They spend most of their time bitching about how much they hate the popular kids, define themselves by how much they are not like the popular kids, and spend an inordinate amount of effort trying to be noticed by the popular kids, even if that attention is negative. They seem to feel they don't exist unless they are on the radar. And even though they know what it's like to feel underestimated and picked on, it doesn't stop them from doing the same to someone else. Meanwhile, the popular kids don't really give a damn, because they're content with their lot. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's really sad. Why the inferiority complex? Your culture has contributed some of the most wonderful things to the world--the best literature, the best (arguably) music, and stood alone as a tiny island against evil in Europe during WWII for three years before we got there. These are things I respect, and things you should be proud of. But your pride gets tarnished when you yip at our heels like this, as if you were some neglected chihuaua. It won't get you anything but frustration, and it dishonors your proud history. And please, do drop the moral superiority thing. Your treatment of the Irish over history rivals any display of bad form of which we might be guilty. C'mon--really, we're your children. Be nice! And we're only teenagers in terms of cultural age. You're old, very old. Don't be such a curmudgeon! Kids will be kids! I love you anyway! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

armywifes3lb	okay whatever! get a live! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dadknows	When you have no problems of your own, come back again and tell us what were doing wrong, then maybe will be open to listening. Again, every member of society, has one problem or more. Let's see: bloody good-who have you been listening to, I didnt' even say anything, Army kills allies-which order in that long line are we?(at least our military is doing something about the world problems.. let's hear your story of achievement), arrogant views (need we copy and paste your vast knowledge of opinion here) Cuba beats us at baseball and your point is?? You don;'t like Bush, then that's probably why you don't live here, at least we don't have to bow down to the queen. There are more options than just a mustang and what does Fergie have to do with "London Bridge".. 10% passport, maybe we like where we live and a roundabout, if you cross the military-maybe they will watch you soil your funny pants. Called freedom of expression, get your pass port in order and give it a try... Have a good one will ya' Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jamie d	Maybe the reason why our "Army kills there allies" is because our "allies" like to sit on the sidelines and tell us what it is we should do and how to do it. Unitl you send more troops to amount to ours or even pick up a gun and join them on the front lines then maybe you should keep your mouth shut. As for only 10% of Americans having passports, maybe unlike you English we like our country and don't find the need to leave it as often as you Brits. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tallerfella	You have to take into consideration that most of the posters here are, youngsters who have never served in the military. I don't think the US saved anyone in either world war. Allies came together to defeat a greater evil. But as long as we want to sling mud.......let's have a go. Eat too much? Maybe because we have TEETH. Cuba and baseball. It's a GAME. When was the last time you won the World Cup? Bush isn't a prick; he's ignorant and misguided and I didn't vote for him. Don't buy the Mustang. Any new production vehicle has problems. I'd wait a few years. Fergie sings a song? It's entertainment, not a history lesson. Maybe she couldn't get a filming permit to go and film in Arizona where the London Bridge is now located. A roundabout is no big deal. Try the 5 freeway in Southern California at 5 in the afternoon Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DannyK	Now please explain to me why people put their very lives at risk to come here every day. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mike b	well people get killed in war its called friendly fire as for Vietnam the liberals here suck and they cut the funding so we had to leave and i could care less about baseball i think Bush is great and you just cant drink until you are 21 legally i was drinking at 14 who is Fergie and i don't have a passport because i don't need one why the hell would i want to go to your country you all don't like us and i drive around a roundabout all the time we have some here you know Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Caitie B	yeah some americans arn't that great, but you're being stereotypical which says loads about your country. maybe you should go and take some english classes and learn how to write beofore you post nonsense on these american majority boards. we're not all for the war, we don't all eat our weight in food everyday, only 36% of america likes our president, and if all you can do is 'diss' our musicians then maybe you should take a look at your youth and realize their listening to the same things. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	I've got news for you there sparky! Americans don't give a sh**, what you think of us! We are the greatest country in the world. Who the heck needs a friggin passport, we have enough National Monuments and amuzement parks to last us a lifetime, without even crossing a border or flying on an airplane. Our food is better than yours and we are the land of the free and the home of the brave. So go drink your freaking tea and get over yourself. We are better than you in soooooo many ways! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LuckyChucky	Sounds to me like your upset. I have a passport I've been to England, and I'm wondering if you live in London. Sorry your so disappointed with us, get in line. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thunderchild67	I am sick to death of being embarassed by so called fellow countrymen like you! Leave the americans alone you stupid git and give us peace for crying out loud. I'm married to an American now i know WHY i didn't marry a guy from this country because the small minority like YOU make me sick to death Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shelly B	and just what in God's name makes you think your any better????? Don't like us americans...Get over it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

champagne	not a fan of americans dear? (im british)....can i just say SEAN,STOP SENDING ME STUPID EMAILS SAYING BRITONS SUCK,YOU IDIOT !!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tmarie99	Email me again, you chicken-hearted little IMPOTENT turd, and you'll be reported. You think your filthy mouth is going to change my opinion? You're a coward. A snivelling, hide-behind-someone-else's-military COWARD. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ridiculouslyhopeful	I am an American and not particularly proud of it. You are right. We eat too much, our government is a freaking joke, and the president is the lead buffoon. Actually, we do have roundabouts here in my city, and I haven't crapped in my pants going around one yet. Finally, Mustangs have always been crap. I drive a Camaro. Cheers! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jack Torrance	I am glad you've got that off your chest, and now fock off. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Abdul	For the record, i'm British and don't mind Americans. This person does not speak for us. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dave	Here we go again.....oh dear............. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jon B	Have you ever thought of running our country?? I hear the job is coming up soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Wildamberhoney	Are you British? I am, and while I'd say we have a far more intelligent leader than the unfortunate Americans do, we are hardly in a position to preach. In fact, having lived in the US, continental Europe, and the UK, I think we as a nation are sadly lacking in terms of social progress. Much of the UK population seems to think that we are still some huge empire. We're not, we haven't been for a long time, and we need to quit fancying ourselves so much. It's way past time to wake up and move with the times. There are plenty of good things about our nation. The English superiority complex and desperate attempts to convince ourselves that we're better than everyone else, when in fact we're decades behind, is not one of them. The reputation we have abroad, as lager louts who expect the world to revolve around us, is beyond a joke. Yes, it's a generalisation, and I don't consider myself to fit into that box... but everyday I see more more evidence that there is truth in the national stereotype. It's comments like yours that maintain that image. Congratulations. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Warlock Fiend	Hmmmm.....I suspect anti-americanism here. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

paul m	here here!!!! nice one ..... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
