Lots of love, Britain. amirite?

Guess which country we're an offshoot of? Oh yeah, YOU, dumbshit. Oh, yeah, and you're welcome for the whole WWII thing, you know, it was no big deal. I mean, we didn't even help the French in their revolution and they gave us the statue of liberty, but I understand that you guys are kind of in a tough financial situation over there. BP is you're biggest company and it's already lost like half of it's money which is what, like $82,000,000,000? And you'll also have to pay around $5,000,000,000 more in fines to us, so.... Have fun in the recession! Looks like you won't be getting out of it for awhile!

Because the Axis weren't bombing the shit out of Europe before America joined in. /sarcasm. I realize the only reason we joined was because of Pearl Harbor but before that we were still comtribution. We cut Japan of it's oil from us when they attacked China.

Well I had to let it be known that the OP thinks he represents the country of England and as if he purposely did the spill to the US..which is obviously not true. So no, I don't care about the attempt to be offensive, because it's weak and unsuccessful :)

Wow. Many of the Americans on here trying to defend their country on this post have just come out sounding ignorant if i do say so myself. Yes, the OP made a rude statement that was entirely unnecessary especially since the BP oil spill is going to effect the world, not just us personally. But attacking him/her with curse words makes you sound stupid, not tough. I would refrain from throwing out the f-word anymore, because it just makes us, the Americans, look bad.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I completely agree. Not every single American is a crazy angry jerk who automatcially loves their country though they've never been outside it. I understand that America has a lot of problems, and not everyone likes them. In fact most of us don't like them. And saying that you'd rather kill an entire ecosystem just for the ignorance of a few people backfires and makes you sound ignorant and biased. I don't think that all British people have terrible teeth, drink tea like its water and have thick, unintelligent cocknie accents, but if generalize me, then I'll generalize you.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Using the "f" word certainly does not make you ignorant. The word is used to express strong emotion or upset, not to be used lightly. I do believe when somebody makes derogatory comments about my country I have a right to be insulted. I love my country, therefore, I will defend it by all means. No, that does not make me stupid. OP is ignorant for using the oil spill as a weak attack on Americans.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

using the f-word as your only defense makes you sound ignorant. it does not make you stupid, no, but it makes you sound less than intelligent when used in a serious argument. You do have a right to be insulted, I agree. I also agree that the OP was being ignorant when they posted this. They were just trying to belittle America with a not so funny joke.

Dear Britain, Why will you make generalizations about my country, and the people in it? I never thought to do that to you. I never would have. It's wrong, and it's ignorant. I'm glad you're so proud of this oil spill. This oil spill is going to effect the entire globe. I wouldn't be proud of that, if I were you. I'd be rather ashamed. I don't think anyone forced McDonalds, American TV shows, or American movies on you, either. You don't like it, don't watch it. I personally hate BBC, and British comedy. And do you know what I do? Instead of being a douche to British people about it, I just DON'T WATCH IT. I really dislike fish and chips, too. So, I don't eat them! It's really not that hard of a concept to figure out. I also don't blame all of Britain for BBC, shitty British comedy, and Fish N' Chips. Get over yourself. Pull your head out of your ass.

Just saying, but Americans make generalizations about English people all the time. They fake the accent, completely falsely and they constantly copy comedy shows from England and turn them into American sitcoms.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This American doesn't. I don't particularly like being blamed for what you assume 90% of a nation does. And the people "faking accents" are generally teenaged melodramatic whores, who have nothing better to do. My husband fakes accents, but only to me. And it's all accents. Come to think of it, I've never heard him do a British one. I know a Korean who does though. Let me say, she blows at it. I really don't like her. So if you want to make generalizatons about HER, you can.

I agree with several of the posts here, yeah there are tons of bad movies out there, but there are also several hundreds of thousands of great movies. I'm willing to bet you've seen Star Wars, Fight Club, the classic Disney animated movies, etc. We're not forcing you to watch every movie produced in America, we aren't forcing you to eat McDonalds, and we're not forcing you to watch "shit" comedy shows. You don't like it, you don't watch it. This oil spill isn't just going to affect America, it's going to affect the entire world. But thanks, I'm glad you think it was a great gift. Can't wait to watch England flame out at the World Cup.

Actually England was the most popular country in the world up until about the 1930's, so England would be going quite well with out USA.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So, by saying "England WAS" and "England WOULD BE going quite well without the USA" are you admitting that they no longer are popular, and are not going well without the US? That first part of my last comment is a quote from a movie, not something I came up with, just to clarify.

wow... okay some people on here needs to chill out. i understand that each country is trying to stick up for themselves and yes, what the OP said was insensitive towards Americans, but lets face it everyone here is just making generalizations about the countries. what one person says or does, does not represent the country as a whole. neither is superior either so the people on here need to stop arguing. and i, myself do not like all the american movies or fast food nor do i agree with everything america does and i'm an american. so please stop assuming things about americans and british people.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm not generalizing about either country but the OP is saying that 'Britain' killed 11 innocent workers and is killing millions of animals because TV shows and movies aren't at the best quality and McDonald's is nasty. Well then, OP, the solution to THAT is to get off the couch in front of the TV, make your own food, and stop complaining.
