Ridiculous topic.
The UK is our best and most valuable ally.
Both sides have points in discussing history here, but quite frankly this is purely a matter of opinion.
The very fact that 200 years after a massive conflict between our nations we are reconciled and work together so well is a testament to civilization and the free world.
Of all nations, Britain gets my undying respect for their quality of character and hardiness as well as their dignified stance in the face of annihilation.
You should think twice before insulting a nation that stared down the most aggressive and dangerous European empire in the last 2000 years.
Likewise, America should get credit for the role it has played in that same conflict.
Democracy and freedom in it's current iteration hinges on the success of our nations.
Why don't we discuss something with more meaning like:
Why is Putin reverting Russia's fledgling democracy to communist nationalism and what are the implications of their rotting nuclear infrastructure on world stability.

Humorous, perhaps. But remember you're talking to a group selected for its ignorance. This is hardly a representative sample of the core of America. Americans get tagged with this label after Jay Leno talks with trailer trash or paris hilton wannabees about politics, and Europeans beleive it....

UK sucks cause you don't have a National Holiday designed for being thankful and even more important, directly involved with the eating of a large meal.
I get 2 days off of school for eating food.

us and uk are on the same side, we kicked your asses 200 years ago, dont make us do it again.

Read a history book. You were getting raped and had to beg the French to bail you out.
How humiliating.
|
Didn't beg. And a countries allies is a part of it's strength. And the english people were pretty much against the war. And the soldiers didn't have that much of a reason, not a whole lot of morale :/ .

Russia for standing up to the US on certain matters. I can to some degree see Russia becoming a new super power within Europe.

Isn't Russia in Asia...

We didn't do much? We were your number one supplier of war material(lend lease)...you know...the stuff that allowed you to fight Hitler(this is not even mentioning the First World War) and kept him from squashing you like every other European country (principally naval resources). It was "your" war because you let it brew right in your own back yard....England and France pressed the Versailles Treaty because of hatred and revenge...and then appeased the madmen that resulted from it when they started on their warpath.
|
Uh, no. As soon as the "warpath" started (the invasion of Poland), we declared war pretty much immediately (on the same day, I think?). Sticking up for our friends and allies, see? Whereas the US hung around on the sidelines for a good two years. Even after Pearl Harbour was bombed, you still didn't declare war on Germany. They declared war on you.
America took so god damn long to get into World War 2 for political reasons, end of. Neither of the Presidential candidates dared it. We didn't care about that, our friends and allies were attacked so we jumped into the fray. America can't claim that.

We get bashed for staying out and we get bashed for doing something... :/

We get bashed for staying out of a real war out of political cowardice while Europe is getting ravaged, and we get bashed for a bullshit, catastrophic war for oil :/
