See I missed that one, and consider it just being an insular USC...oh wait an umericun......

When did you start being citizens?

Semantics no doubt.

I do think I am being rude though. I have nothing against the British and accept them as my better in thought and innovation and all manner of human endeavor.

I appreciate your patience in dealing with "colonials"....we are a strange lot. We do not appreciate your condescension so much, and really do not understand how you are just trying to help your lesser cousins.

One day, I hope at least, we will attain your level of knowledge and omniscience about all things.

God bless you all for being our guiding light.

I bow to you as your vassal, and only hope I can obtain what you have now.

Wanting to achieve our level of enlightenment is a worthwhile goal, however, I suggest you aim your sights a little lower. Canada maybe.

That is a thought. I actually like Canadians as half of their population is down in Florida during winter.

Great people. When I think of the defense of the Western world, I think of them.

You may have more issues if you live in California. Those Hippies in Washington and Oregon are not going to stop them.

WEll you should. Socialism is what rules Europe, and the total antithesis of the founding of the US.

To cut to the chase, Europeans blame the US for just about every problem in the world. I see it in your media all the time. The BBC are horrible, but the GErman press, be it Stern or Der Spiegel, is far worse.

Far easier it is to blame the US for your shortcomings than to look in the mirror.

And frankly, you are socialists. who do you blame mostly for the problems of the world?

Global warming...America's fault

Wars...all America's fault

There isn't any problem that you EU nucks do not blame on my country.

You bitch whine moan and complain always against us.

Frankly, I tire of it.

Good grief. You are from one of the most powerful countries in the world. Stop being so insecure.

I thought you were the greatest nation on earth? Why do you care what a bunch of socialist egalitarians think?

Repetitive themes on all.

One the one hand you consider Americans insular, but if one listens to you they are only intelligent if they agree with you.

In other words, the only intelligent Americans will agree with the British and trash the USA as you brits do, and if one does not agree with the trashing, well....just leave.

Funny stuff.
