Well as an English man I am not ashamed of my country.
I am fed up with everyone always concentrating on out negative side, there is a lot of positive as well if you look for it.
I organized a fun assault course to raise money and had whole armies of teenagers who took part from all sorts of life.
Its easy to sit on the sideline and complain do what I do organize runs, camping trips.
And from what I see of American culture its all me me me and Im alright Jack.
Yawn
Such an old ill thought out comment.
No not true, by the time America entered the war the threat of invasion to Britain had long passed.
And if in 1940 the Germans had carried out operation Sea Lion (code name for the invasion) there was a chance it would not work. The German Navy was not powerful enough to land a big enough force and logistics.
The German military was broken in the East, Battle of Moscow , Battle of Stalingrad and Kursk.
Germany new they were losing the war by summer 1943.
If America had not entered the war the most likely outcome would of been A Soviet Dominated Europe by 1947 unless the German officer corp. over threw Hitler, and came to an understanding with Churchill and Stalin, which would of been very likely as with out FDRs backing Churchill may not of pushed for total capitulation and Stalin would have been happy to make a deal
ps
Alos its about time you Americans thanked us for holding the line in 1940 and 41 giving yyou breathing space to rearm.
Cheers Tony
I rather think we have or does your news only cover American boys serving in Iraq and Afganistan.

Speaking as a Brit, I have always found Americans to be, generally, a friendly, good natured, pleasant nation.
But reading this thread, I'm not so sure.
Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
"They're only Poms. They don't count. Most of them CAN'T count!"
This from an Aussie?
Jeez!
"They're only Poms. They don't count. Most of them CAN'T count!"
Bring it on!
"How can 60,000,000 have such bad teeth?"
Through grinding them in embarrassment at the likes of morons like you.
"Who cares????
We told that pack of Euro-bullsqueeze where to get off in 1776 and again in 1812.
Bugger off, mates!"
There is a certain type of American (mercifully a small minority) who try their best to get the rest of the nation a bad name. And you, sir, are one of them.
"They're only Poms. They don't count. Most of them CAN'T count!
Wankers, every one."
We have an old saying over here - It takes one to know one.
I wouldn't pay any attention to these haters of Americans! I bet they are the grandchildren of unwed British grandmothers that some of us may have inadvertently left pregnant when we came home after the war! Their venom smells of the typical reaction that some of the children of 'bastards' usually feel towards their unknown progenitors, or towards those whom they collectively make responsible for their plight! Adolph Hitler had the syndrome and so did Stalin! So pay no attention to these British twerps who do, in fact, have horribly twisted teeth and foul breath as well!

As long as they fear us or respect us. Anything more helps them just that much more.

I know two or three that are alright, but a fair description generally.
