I don't know about you, but I have my musket and three-cornered hat at the ready 24/7, so I can be ready in a MINUTE to go fight the Redcoats! All I have to remember is "One if by land, two if by sea..." Or is that "One if by sea, two if by land"??? Well, either way, I won't let those Tories impose their tea tax on me, I HATE them!

Wow, have you actually met any British people? Your post is downright disgusting IMO.

My posts are jokes. Did you honestly believe that I am a Colonial-Era American Colonist? It's pretty obviously a joke. Lighten up.

I like English people for the most part. I have met many here but I have actually met a lot of them in Las Vegas. They're cute. Especially the English lizards, "Save money, pip-pip-cheerio"...

Hate the British? Really? That's a new one.

No, I don't think so.

As the person who started this topic I got it and thought it was funny,although I would put up my team Manchester United the most famous FOOTBALL team in the world to beat any team you could put up.
I never really did think that Americans hated the English but I saw the article and wanted to start a discussion on it. I did put a web address for the article but it was removed, it was in a British paper called the Daily Mail and they are famous for making things worse than they really are for sensationalism. If you believe what they say you would think Britain hasn't a friend in the world and we are being taken over by Muslims.
I think on the whole American or US citizens as one poster said and the British do regard each other as cousins. There will always be some who disagree on both sides, but as Ive said earlier most of the people I know think America is a fantastic country and those who have visited think the people are very warm hearted and welcoming. The one thing that everyone does say though is that you talk very loudly, as I have found with the Americans I have met. But we don't necessarily think of this as a bad think just different than us. But we are thought of as reserved which is also true for example when you get married you say vows out loud to each other so everyone can hear, we would never do that we would say them in private.

Someone once said that in the startrek world Americans would be the humans and the English would be the vulcans, Chinese would be the Romulans don't know who would be the Klingons though, any suggestions?
I am now really looking forward to visiting New York next year.

I can honestly say i have never personally heard anyone hating the English or the UK in general here in the US. Really just praise. Most people love London who have been and i have heard so many wish to go. I went to England last year and simply love it.
