1. Newcastle... midlands... havent loled so hard in ages.. thanks... 2. I firmly belive that the russians wre ultimatly key in defeating the germans, not the USA. 3. A lot of americans i know are really nice people, although some of the younger ones need educating to a much higher standard... when it comes to the point that id rather talk to people from France, you know somethings wrong. 4. I dont like the french that much..(as above) but i know some nice French people, they just arent very nice to me when im over there :S but i would never be purposly (spell) racist to them. 5. Im 16.. in fact im the youngest person in my year at 6th form, intelligence doesnt follow age as strictly as many people would have you belive, the naivety of some people angers me. 6. IF someone from scotland says that scotland is not part of Britain, its most likely out of national pride rather than stupidity, just like somone saying britain isnt part of Europe :) 7. I like pointing out to americans that annoy me, that the town i live in is twice as old as thier country

ok ok that was harsh, i dont hate mods.. as an apology the mod who shows the most wuv gets a free mercedes...

<-- American here
It's kinda sad really... World history isn't stressed enough in public schools here in the states so we have whole generations of American youth that are ignorant to anything outside our borders.
Some of the things they said to you are shamefully ignorant.
Quote: Then they continue to tell me nothing good comes out of england,
Our measurement system (inch, foot, yard,pound,etc), the blast furnace, iron cannons, railways are just a few off the top of my head. And a funny thing is, if they were to trace their heritage back to Europe they would more than likely find that their ancestors probably came from England, Scotland, Whales, or Ireland somewhere along the line.
Quote: After a few random insults thrown at me, I say that we have the most elite force in the world.. the UK SAS, but then they shoot me down DELTA FORCE, RANGERS! OMG OMG! YOU NOOB! WE WILL KILL YOU! Your country will be destroyed by ONE of our nukes. I'm like hey whatever lol.
Can't help but shake my head on this one. They actually said that?
I'm a US Marine and I can't help but LOL at someone saying that Rangers are "leet".
Getting jump wings != elite. Rangers are no more "elite" than Marine Recon.
Delta on the other hand are straight up badasses. Hands down, no questions asked, with the shirt to prove it AWESOME. Period. So they at least got that right.
As far as Britains armed forces are concerned, at least from a US Marines point of view, they are A-OK. I've always wanted to work with Royal Marines but haven't gotten the chance yet. (I'm still LOL @ Ranger "leetness"...)
I'm gonna stop here because this post has given me a splitting headache.
Not all of us are retards.
Wherever you go, and whatever you do there will always be that 10% that just don't get it.
mate you are one of the first americans ive met online who doesnt say that england sucks, and props to you  I helped - Cortes What a shiny and lovely place here - Eshtir Well lets make it a party atleast :D -Xorus RAWWWR!11!!1!2 SIG HIJACK!!11!1 I found it first, get orrrfff moiiii laaannnd - Cortes |

sorry for spamming the thread, but thats pretty normal. its mainly patriotism.. I would say I'm English before I'm British always.

well if you're going to get ****y then YOU don't use capitals, and haven't punctuated that post properly.
I know I don't punctuate properly and I am a crap typist, but what you just pointed out was the fact you are being pedantic. I'm patriotic.

Yes, Scotland is part of Britain - unfortunately. If it wasn't, the English would be better off - given that Scotland is subsidised by England to the tune of many billions every year.
It also ticks me off that Scottish MPs have a say in purely English matters through Westminster, whereas no English MP has a say in the same matters in Scotland - at least those dealt with by the Scottish Parliament. It also ticks me off that almost the entire Government of the country as a whole including Chancellor and Prime Minister, in a country with 4 million Scots and about 52 million English, is Scottish.
It also ticks me off that the whole country has the government it has because of Scottish MPs - a Commons without Scots would likely have a different balance, to say the least.
Oil? Well, all I have to say about that is; extend the border and I think you will find that most of the oilfields are on the English side of the line. ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." ---------------------------------------------- |

I'm Scottish, and not at all surprised by the Americans.
What surprises me though, is that you traded Scotland for fricking America.

A) Because we have to sleep sometime and B) Because these people are just making commentary on the relation of britain towards whatever you call them(States? Provinces?) whereas you were making hypocritical inflammatory remarks about the majority of my country

<--Texan here aka-American First off,a friend of mine told me of this thread. I read just the 1st page and thats enuf for me. I have a book rite here on my desk, "How The Scots Invented The Modern World". Dunlap and his bicycle tire,Flemming and pennicillian, Watt and the steam engine. Thats just a trickle, but do not Britains refer to us as 'Yanks' and Aussies as 'Convicts'? Im making a point,hang on. This isnt a 'whose pot is the blackest' competion. Simply put as Mach Oppenheimer stated, there are idiots everywhere. Cheers to those defending who/what they are, but seriously, is your (anyone dissing) chip on your shoulder so big that it cant see a moron when it comes across one? As for being an American and sailor in THE Navy, I see anyone that bashes America as not having imagination. Come on, its just WAY too easy to take a shot at us. Like an English friend of mine said, "America is givin sh*te for being the world police, but mate, when you have the power, it IS your responsibility, and where would the world be if you DIDNT stick your nose in?". Im sure there are some Serbs/Croats that are appreciative, probably a few Iraqis, Vietnamese, Koreans, Brazilians, Venezuelans, Panamanians, etc. This really is one list that does just go on and on. When I served in the Gulf, I had some liberals over here say, "You know youre only fighting for oil,rite?" WELL DUH!! Isnt every war over territory or a commodity or an injustice? For pete's sake, there was a war in Europe over KETCHUP! So yeah, I know it was over oil and I like paying $2 usd a gallon instead of the potential $7-$12 it couldve been. Grim,obviously only part of this reply was for you and the retarded 12yr olds you unfortunately ran into on the other game. The other part of this is directed to the 12yr olds on here that are showing their a$$. This is a 'tar baby', ya know, you put your hands in to pull it out and you only get tar all over you. At anyrate, I have friends that are English, Scot, Aussie, German, etc. and nothing negative coming from any retard will change that. I enjoyed my stays in Europe and most of the ppl I met, but like anywhere else, there is always that 10%. If you arent from America,you wouldnt understand. Whites,blacks and hispanics fight amongst each other here because we're bored and we like drama, but we pull together when anyone jacks with it, just ask Akhmed. Grim needed to let off steam, as we all wouldve had we been in a similiar situation, Im sure it wasnt his intention to turn this thread into the very thing he came here to vent about. Hes already experienced that on the other game. So, in closing, to all the retards out there, next time you have a thought...keep it.

Thanks peeps. I'm glad a few of you have read properly to see that I didn't mean to start an anti-america thread. I did state that "okay so I generalised my bad, but I know it's mainly the young people 14-18 year olds" In my very first post. And the whole point in this was just to say I've came across people like that.
I mean no harm. And I've taken none. Just wanted to share a story

Next time point out the 110 nukes the US have parked in 'Britian'. Actually, don't bother, that would require them thinking, and judging by the rest, most of them arent capable.

to those saying the Russians were much more vital in defeating **** Germany. I beg to differ.
1. American was one of the main suppliers of war materials even before we came into the war.
Quote: Russian historian Alexander S. Orlov acknowledges that supplies received during 1941 and 1942 amounted to closer to 90 percent of what some front line units had to fight with.(on American supplies)
http://www.iranian.com/History/Nov97/WWII/index.html 2. the western allies would have gotten much further inland and quicker if he had ordered his last major counter attack on the easter front( instead of the battle of the bulge) as Russia had a tendency to withdraw from stale mates. as was seen during WWI and early on with the Japanese during WWII(they didn't reenter war with japan until after the atom bomb was dropped).
3. the biggest factor with **** Germany losing was that ****** was insane. And insane people always self destruct. This one jsut happned to bring his country with him.

Rather interesting talk were having.
To the erotic dancer chap Scotland is indeed part of Britain and I love them for it.
Americans are Americans we can't call them all morons on the actions of some of them. (this could well be applied to any nationality)
I spent a bit of time living in America there are many reasons to compliment them (this could well be applied to any nationality)

Spent most of my first 2 years in Eve in corps that were 90% American and never had any problems like what the OP described. Apart from the different accents they weren't any different than me.
I think the attidudes in the OP are more to do with young kids who are trying (and failing) to seem clever with the useful anonnymity that comes from communicating over the internet than from what country someones from.
