So..."chap", "chaps", "cheerio", "rot"....yeah its good to see all the stereotypes nicely trotted out. You missed out teeth.
No matter how you chaps want to spin it, the migration to America from England was massive,
I'm not spinning it. I admit it.
and it was to escape your government and the chuch of England with it's oppressive laws and rules...
Ah, well yes..here is where we detect the bovine tang of yankee BS. Can you imagine the Cof E oppressing ANYONE? The Mayflower folk left England because the CofE was far too moderate, not burning enough catholics probably.
we were looking for freedom, and we found it. Nobody got off the boat here and said, "Point me to someone I can victimize.".
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but yes they damn well did. You just ask all those "Injuns" who got robbed, cheated, shot and forced off their lands. You ask the comanche on the "trail of tears", a forced march from georgia to what is now oklahoma with a 33% casualty rate. You ask all dem nigras hanging from the trees. BS. Youre nothing special. No nation has a monopoly on virtue. Or do you think "all have sinned and departed from the glory of god" doesn't apply to you?
Yes I do call (some) of you arrogant. And rightly so too, I'm bloody angry. Wouldnt you be, if someone came out with a lot of ignorant garbage about your homeland? One that is supposed to be your ally. You know, the one that backed you in Korea, backed you in Iraq I and II and now in Afghanistan, where we've just lost our 256th soldier - making it a more bloody conflict for us than the Falklands. And before you say you've lost far more, you've got far more there.
No its not "LOL". I'm not laughing. I don't find it amusing one little bit.
