A guy came onto UK Questions and asked why the Brits didn't like the Americans, now it's your turn. Why??

I love the Brits, my son in-law in a Brits, and my daughter married him
I have learned at lot through that experience
They say what they mean and are very plain spoken.
The culture is not the same there.
Like they are allowed to state their opinion in the work place, and its ok
Not here you get fired for that
That are good people, and they are more informed in the media
than we are.
We are are sheltered from the truth in America
Americans tend to put doen the Brits,
That is not right.
Thanks
Hope that helps a little

Of the ones I've met, I like some of them, didn't like others...and there's a whole bunch I haven't met, and have no opinion on.
Generally, the Brits I've met (and liked) have been pleasant, courteous, and lovely people. The humor (humour) passes me by on occasion, but I'm more inclined to get British humour than American humor...which is scary in some way.
The few Brits I didn't like, among the ones I've met, were very angry, bitter and just to the bone nasty. Two in the work place, were absolute vipers...rather stab you in the back than breath. (But I've run into Americans like that too...maybe it's the corporate environment combined with poor personal integrity)
On the bright side, the percentages are definitely running highly in favor of the positive....despite a very small available sample.

I am Australian, I don't like the Brits because of their annoying voices and there boring dull greyness that they have surrounding them. Americans sh1t me to. I like russians they are a cool bunch but Brits? No way they are soooo boring. They seem like they are living in the past or something? Australians are young and hip.

Nothing's wrong with the Brits. From what I've seen of them, they're good people. Most of my ancestors were British.

I'm a Yank, so I can throw in my two cents. The short answer is, not much is wrong. The only thing I find irksome (and it applies at least as much on this side of the pond as over there) is that people don't recognize that we are in a war -- and if you don't win, you lose.
