Try not to make an arguement when there is none to be made so you don't embarass yourself too much. I would consider seeing a doctor about those hormones if I were you.

I should say as well, and I will. I'm extremely sad for you that you are so very unhappy here, that you have a distinct need to be so acidic to everything American. It makes me wonder why you feel the need to be here. But, I do wish you the best and hope you find some happiness somewhere, even here.

But, you do really need to lighten up. It was a joke, and nothing else. And if you don't like what I say, ignore me. Its a very useful little tool.

Maybe we should just keep apart in here, eh? I have no interest in anything you have to say, and vice versa I'm sure.

I'm quite happy, or I wouldnt be here. I'm acidic towards you, but not every American. There are customs and people and cultural issues here than I detest, but I have better things to do that be pissed off about them all the time.

There are several of us Americans who would rather live in the UK. However, we tend to take the piss out of people who go overboard in glorifying either the US or the UK or ripping either country to pieces. There's good and bad in both, and while we know that this forum exists for Brits to vent frustration about their host countries or long for the UK, sometimes it's a bit OTT.
I think we're all on the same side here!
