You don't see me moving to UK and then rippin' on Britons do you?? I'm sure if i made that same thread exchanging Britons and Americans in that post, i'd be ripped to shreds here.
If you don't like Americans. Feel free to leave and go somewhere where there aren't any.

Well I think you just proved the point... well done ...
And you managed to make a posting without moaning about Mexicans.. another well done ...
And how can anyone have 700+ post and nobody has even given you
karma for an interesting post.... Does that tell you anything...
No!! I am not a Brit...

You obviously don't know much about the Brits....

And, there were quite a few AMERICANS posting on this thread who agree...

Please don't try too hard to fit the stereotype of the arrogant Brit.

Don't come into my country and then slap me in the face by insulting me. You can bet if i moved to England, i'd have nothing but respect for the English people for allowing me in.

I wouldn't move to London. You wouldn't enjoy it.

It's cosmopolitan, cultured, full of people who enjoy intellectual debate, oh yes, and lots of illegal immigrants.

It's the foaming at the mouth that's the problem. Very offputting to immigrants.

A couple of dozen hypodermics in the belly usually cures it. If not, I'm afraid they have to be put down.

You are obviously a very smallminded person. I hope that you experience similar issues as are being described when you move to England and receive the same amount of symapathy as you apply here.
