In america, we say, "See that Corvette? One day I will have one too." Case closed. I lived in England on two separate occasions. I found it to be very depressing with a class system equal to India's (India just has more tiers and that is BETTER) and the lower class has been hoodwinked into thinking that is just the way things are. I guess the biggest differences between the U.K. and the U.S.A. are 1.) Everything there is old, sodden, gray and small. 2.) Your standard of living is appalling (yes, blame us). 3.) Your political spectrum is blank in the middle. 4.) The people are very anti-American--we just call that being rude. When my English friends come here, everyone is so giving and polite, they think there must be a catch--an ulterior motive. Not. 5.) Many people there are seething with jealousy. 6.) The old, "One day that bloody bastard ain’t gonna 'ave that Rolls" syndrome is true. Yes steal it and chop it up into 50 Yugos for the masses. 8.) Your hideous royal family kept inbreeding with their Slavic relatives and visited upon the world the disease of hemophilia to enjoy, and, other than the progeny of Di, the “new blood” you suckered in, they are all one chromosome away from being an ape and are quite possibly the ugliest family on the planet. 9.) Able bodied MEN can actually get welfare in the UK? You should be collectively ashamed. Don't you have any bridges under which they can live?
Now this is the short list of 167 I have compiled. Get rid of your socialist system, and people might work, then you would not be literally dirt poor, burning peat "dirt" to warm yourselves. And finally, why do we have 50,000 nuclear bombs? Well! Just in case we need to bomb another planet that’s why. What about gratitude? After kicking your asses in two wars, we were so nice, we saved your asses in another tow wars. Your general attitude could be summed up with come made up business words: “negator”, full of “loerness” never accepting individual responsibility etc. Your finger pointing has one purpose: to explain away your “loserness.” No wonder your economy is in one of your ubiquitous pay toilets (we have not ONE here). If a kid setup a lemonade stand, selling cups for 2P, he would be arrested if he did not have a license, a food service permit, a health inspection, a ramp for lemonade-crazed wheelchair occupants, a VAT accounting system AND a college degree in restaurant management. You say ONE lone American is OK, but two and it’s just a loud conversation. The biggest coward in the world is a lone skinhead. In my case it was the five I made run away. Want to be sick? I was in one of your thousands of pubs engaging in your national sport--swilling a black and tan, and then, on the cheap little bar TV, our space shuttle exploded, and a few people clapped. Sick.
