America has Dr.house
[QUOTE=3picFail;22675530]America has Dr.house[/QUOTE] He's from the UK though. Invalid.
[QUOTE=Faren;22675497]Few Australians are actually descended from convicts, for your information.[/QUOTE] I probably should have warned that I was following the trend in this thread and using incorrect stereotypes such as Brits having bad teeth. Just to share the hate equally: Americans are fat, people in the UK are not.
the US dont have to wear school uniforms, but the drinking age in the UK is lower, and just laws involving alcohol are better in the UK, and same sex marriage is legal in the UK
In America, we speak English.
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;22675650]and just laws involving alcohol are better in the UK[/QUOTE] Example of this: Anyone over the age of 5 can drink alcohol leagly, they just cannot purchase it. A 15 year old may drink cider in a public house while accompanied by an adult when eating a meal. Ok that doesn't necessarily make the UK better or anything, its just a funny fact.
[QUOTE=Aegis°;22675664]In America, we speak English.[/QUOTE] You best be trollin'. Yes, I realize the horrible grammar and such, but that's the way the saying goes.
We have god damn deep fryers everywhere man. God damn deep fryers. Beat that, UK :smug:

There is no S in "UK." There is no K in "US."
The United States of the Kingdom.
[QUOTE=Computermaster;22675546]He's from the UK though. Invalid.[/QUOTE] and yet we have him.
for summer, the US gets 3 months, but no mid-term breaks and only 1 week for christmas and one week for easter, FPers in the UK are still at school right? we are out already [editline]01:04AM[/editline] [QUOTE=3picFail;22675853]and yet we have him.[/QUOTE] yeah, but he grew as an actor in the UK and on TV shows in the UK, like black adder
Americans say math and you guys say maths.
we dont have any good fish and chips, we got long john silvers but stuff is well shit, Indian food isnt really that popular, we also have crap sausages, the UK only has 1 timezone, the contiguous united states has 4
One thing we have in common is that we both try to feel superior to one another all the fucking time.
Our moon pies are superior to your 'penguin biscuits'
[QUOTE=Spycrabz;22673761]Australia > UK > US[/QUOTE] More like UK > US > Australia I'm American and the UK is definitely superior to us.
In the UK we have a better live msuic scene because our country is smaller. Basically I live in York, up north, which means i can go to York, Leeds, Doncaster, Preston, Newcastle, Manchester and Birmingham for live music. Its great :)

[QUOTE=The mouse;22666857]UK has free dental care, motherfuckers[/QUOTE] Serious really????? Oh my god I never thought that would be possible in my wildest dreams. WTF with all British have bad teeth jokes then.
[QUOTE=Meknes;22678791]Serious really????? Oh my god I never thought that would be possible in my wildest dreams. WTF with all British have bad teeth jokes then.[/QUOTE] Because the Americans have been practicing dentistry for longer than we have.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;22678837]Because the Americans have been practicing dentistry for longer than we have.[/QUOTE] and because on the past lmao pics thread i found that saying "Brits have fucking horrible teeth" Is a great response to "Americans are all fat" anyway I love spelling colour and flavour like that, my teachers are sometimes like "you spelled these words wrong" :smug:
[QUOTE=Elgar;22659415] * We don't have Wendys, Walmart, Home Depot or Radio Shack in the UK. [/QUOTE] That's not entirely true. ASDA is part of the Wal-Mart family. EDIT: Also I feel bad for my peers because they don't understand the concept of dentistry. I've never had dental work done to fix anything on my teeth, because I look after them. Practically everyone I know has had a tooth pulled, or a bunch of fillings. I FEEL SO ALONE WITH MY SHINY WHITE TEETH
We have tea and coffee with milk. Tastes better v:v:v
The US has Jazz Legends.
British have Rowan Atkinson Americans have Chris Tucker
