Will one Brit please say something nice about the US? Can I get an American to do the same about England?

Question

I'll start... I love England. I've been several times and it's great!

Answer 1

sorry mate cant think of anything

Answer 2

Well, I'm an American and I live in England. There are plenty of things I love about both countries.
I wish the Brits would let up on Americans, the media here doesn't paint an accurate picture of them (I think they're well aware of that). The Brits aren't all bad, honest ;)

Answer 3

I live in the US and have my entire life.I've visited England and I thought it was a beautiful country.Everyone there was very friendly.I saw alot of the countryside and some of the bigger cities like London.Other then the rain the weather was always pleasant.But I'll always love my country best.I'm tired of all of the morons in these forums bashing countries they know nothing about.Everyone thinks that all Americans are fat and lazy(I guess that's why we're a world power right) and everyone from England is pale and doesn't know how to cook.I'm an American and in very good shape and my mom was born and raised in Great Britain and she can cook and tan.It's about time all of the ignorance and prejudice stopped.

Answer 4

It is a great place, great ally for Bush and our hired mercenaries, nothing like helping out a friend.
Undercover British soldiers caught red-handed: Dressed as Arabs in a car full of explosives with a remote detonator
Filed under: misc, Iraq, US Govt, headline news
This story should be THE top story for weeks as nothing is more important. Billions of dollars and thousands of lives continue to be wasted every month in Iraq under the guise that we’re making progress and that eventually we’re going to get all the terrorists… yet when British soldiers are caught dressed as Arabs, with a car full of explosive and a remote detonator… the story is dropped like the plague. Once again, the way the $$ media buries the story is indicative of the potential consequences .

Of course the insurgents would get the credit for the blast and victims.

Don't think the average Brit would care for this eiither.

Answer 5

Hey - been to UK. No, the culinary arts are not well developed - my best meals over several visists were from French, Paki, and Indian restaurants. Fish and Chips did score high, but bubble and squeak didn't make it, and how can thay eat baked beans for breakfast?? BUT - the people were incredibly pleasant and agreeable. The pubs were wonderful - especially compared to the dives here in the US, with slobbering drunks and too-loud music blaring.

I'd go again if possible. Would love to take my wife and go on a canal boat cruise. But no matter what, the people make it, and Brits are just nice people.

Answer 6

I am a Conservative American who loves England whole heartedly. I feel, as a nation, we have no stronger ally (yes this includes Israel, Australia, and Japan). We have a shared past that is stronger than any issues that may arise. Aside from the fact that England and the U.S. are the closest thing the world has to a family, we have yet to throw a party (war) that England has not been willing to attend.

Answer 7

I visited California, Ohio & Utah once. It was great to see some of nature's biggest wonders like the Grand Canyon & Yosemite.
In fact things are often big over there, like your roads, your transport, your skyscrapers, your food portions, your bellies.
It was all quite an experiance.
We shouldn't generalise a nation's people and assume everyone is like the stereotype.
Also bear in mind that what a country's government does isn't necessarily what the majority of it's population want. I think this is because democracy only works if you have proportional representation in voting, referendums on important issues, no sleazy politics, and governments that aren't scared to plan things for the long-term good.

Answer 8

Brits love America and Americans love England. They invade countries together like Afghanistan and Iraq.

Answer 9

I grew up in the military and lived in England for 4 years. After alot of problems, mostly caused by me, in the schools on the American bases, I transfered off base to the local public school. Their school system rocked! No more of constant repirtition that is the staple in the American school system. I was actually being challenged. In the 5th grade, I was reading Watership Down and doing Algebra and learning French. Something apparently is considered too advanced in the American school system, since we have to cater to the lowest common denominator. I wish I would have remained in England through graduation, which occurs by age at 16, I think I would have remianed more focused on my educational goals.

Answer 10

Hey I just gave England the high sign for having the guts to defend freedom and not fall prey to the Iranian money like France.
The British may be small in economic impact and population but are showing values that are admirable. Despite the problems with the social programs they have they keep trying to improve things for the world. What Churchill said way back in the 40's still applies. "Never have so few done so much for so many." Go get them Frogs and take over the EU.

Answer 11

Many brits will say something nice about the US and Americans. This site is not a representation of what people think, and nobody should take it as such. Also you shouldnt take everything fat headed politicians say as representative of the thoughts of the british people.
