British Say US Is Violent, Money-Hungry, Uncultured Nation

MountainPro

perhaps in your version of the universe it would be contradictory...

back on planet reality however, you've made another 'boob'.

As an American I don't see Britain as like the US in the violence and uncultured depts, at least not since the IRA's attacks (and Gov't responses) have died down. Certainly Brits are not as rude as 'Merkuns, at least those that I've met are not.

But, as Blair has become more Bush-like every day on foreign policy, Britain's image abroad is declining as is the US'.

Only ignorant and geographically close destitute want to come to america. Come here to asia and i'll give you an eye opener: there are plenty of "Americans" that are so fed up with their own country that they prefer to live away from it - at least until the Chief Moron is finally gone!

Hey chum do me a favor...Could you please send this info to some other posters here who want to leave my country and while you are at it...See if you can go on tour you know...do the circuit...Ophra, CNN, good morning America etc and get this info out. I can't help but think once you let these people know the wonders that await them in beautiful Asia that they will be leaving my pitiful country in droves....

I would be forever in your debt if you would provide this very valuable public service,

Thank You,

2fast

the word is 'ticker' as in ticking clock....its a British slang word for the heart and since it doesnt pertain to the USA i should have guessed you would have been clueless...

"Uncaring" I think that there are is a pretty good percentage of people in this country that only think of themselves. But there are a lot of folks that give a lot. Posting stats about how much "per capita" money Americans give abroad and how low it is in comparison to other much smaller nations does not reflect how much internal support our country shows.

"Divided By Class" Absolutely we are but for any Briton to even talk about another country's social/economic separation with any criticism is about as funny as Ethiopia telling the world how grow crops. I mean come on Englands entire status system is based on economic status. The damn government is set up to give different classes of people different levels of representation, House of Lords, House of Commons.

"Violent Crime" Yes this is a tremendous problem here. Thank the democrats.

"Proccupied with Money" Don't fault a Capitalistic society for trying to better itself. Anyone in this country has the opportunity to become a millionaire.

The rest I really don't have a comment on
