No, there is a difference between the internet and WWW.
Which is what pisses me off - this whole tit-for-tat arguing between the Americans and my fellow Brits:
American: "We invented the internet!"
Brit: "We invented the WWW!"
Does it matter? Both are equally as important.
[QUOTE=M4 Sherman;24168904]American hate comes from the fact that we have a large, well sustained country and one of the best economies in the world. Most of the haters are Brits that are butthurt because the only useful thing they invented is Viagra. Also food in Britain tastes very bad. You don't know shitty food until you've tried fish n' chips.[/QUOTE]

Why the fuck did you pick me out for that? I wasn't even the one who said it. Some guy called the claim bogus, and I told him it wasn't.
American stereotypes are the worst around and the pointless wars and supposed self righteousness do the rest.

[QUOTE=Monty Pie-thon;24166547]The US in world war 2 was very arrogant.
They always have to be the heroes or the guys coming in on golden chariots saving the day.
The government is just as bad as you can get.[/QUOTE]
I thought the US government was good during WW2, they took care of their country, their army and such. USA helped won the war in Europe, and they did it in a quite good way. Sure Russia did alot of shit, and I'm not saying they don't deserve any credits, but they wouldn't have made it without the US/UK/Canadian invasion. The Russian or the German government was way more fucked up than the US. Sure alot of people brag about how the US are the heroes and that stuff, and I hate it, but the US did play a big part in WW2.
[editline]05:21PM[/editline]
Idiots appear in every country and alot of people seem to hate the US more than other country, but really it's not worse than the other countries to be honest, the only difference is that alot of the worlds media, or atleast the media that gets to us, is from the US wich makes us hear alot more from/about the US than any other country.

The US Government ignored the pleas of Europe for help until the Japanese attacked, and then we were suddenly the good guys even though we were fully aware of the concentration camps and how many losses the Russians and British were taking while sitting it out.

Yes but I can see why they didn't wanna fight a war that honestly didn't concern them, by then. They were being ignorant at many times, I admit, but they weren't reckless.

So we apparently knew about Concentration camps before we discovered them now?
You're a fucking idiot my friend.
What about the shit load of supplies we sent to Russia and Britain, while we "sat it out". Please brush up on your history before you come in here with your bullshit.

Jesus Christ you're a cunt. And no, not because you're American, but because you take a persons comment, and rather than responding like a normal human being, you call him a "fucking idiot". And throughout this thread you have taken offence to every little tiny thing and said "IF YOU DUN LIKE IT FUCK OFF" when it's hardly that fucking easy is it? I live in England and I want to move to America, but it's not that simple.
And besides, why would people want to move? America is supposed to be the land of freedom and opportunity, and that's the place I'd like to live in. Sadly Bush's McCarthy-esque Patriot act took away a ridiculous amount of freedom from the general public.

I didn't pick you out. That message was directed at everybody in this fucking juvenile argument, not you.
um... Bro, the majority of the wars are not black and white issues. World War was started because of the follies of both sides.
I love America, but to be honest. Everything and anything in the world NEEDS to be made fun of. We need a sense of humor. It keeps us all somewhat levelheaded. Unfortunately, certain things still need more making fun of . . .

Patriot act meant you pretty much can't say certain things over the phone since Dubya could tap anyone he wanted. But that wasn't what I was saying anyway, you completely overlooked what I was saying. You act incredibly arrogant, resorting to swearing and juvenile insults almost instantly, and wonder why people side against you? You are literally the archetype that people have been tying to America. You are the self involved, 'get the fuck outta my country' bloated attack-dog republican that has come to be associated with stereotypical america.
And you could go to a country and bitch about it. But going there was YOUR choice. People are born into America, and if they do have issue with it, it's a hell of a lot of trouble to move. I know because I want to move out to America and I'm finding it incredibly difficult.

this gentlemen is literally making the only point that needs to be made. "BOOHOO AMERICA GETS MADE FUN OF" get the fuck over it, its a JOKE. People constantly mock Britain, I simply nod and smile along, I find it pretty funny to be honest.
