<holy Jesus Mother of God. We have gone from the USA vs the UK and to all that it implies to Islam, the bible and the Chinese. Well, when you think of it, as things stand it's maybe the same thing.....in the long run. Plus "The World Corporation."
One thing is sure, if I may add my 2 pennies:
There is New York and the rest of the USA. Hey, we have enough problems with people from New Jersey, let alone the English (I didn't say the UK).
In fact there is California, NYC and all "those other people." Sounds silly. Right?
Bush & his gang have been a disaster. Period. Why? The forum doesn't have enough room.
I have lived in France for a number of years and never have I had a negative jibe against me with the exception of some clown who's daughter passed a very ugly time with a Christian nutcase family and some guy who got ripped off in New Orleans.
As for the UK. When I was on the Isle of Skye many, many years ago. I biked to a hostel, but the Warden wasn't in. Some English character with his group told me that the warden wasn't in ..."there is no room for you." I asked if he was in charge....and he said "yes, for the moment." The sun was setting and like most hostels in Scotland there was always a place on the floor. Not with this guy. Luckily, I went to the local Post Office that had a room. Two adorable old ladies not only made me a wonderful "tea" but offered me a bed for the night. They were Scottish of course.
In Knighten, Wales, when I stayed with an old friend of my grandfathers (this was during the Munich Olympics in 1972) Guys Rogers was always getting pissed off because the American Antheme was "too bloody long." Off course we had many whiskies to ease the pain.
So, in a word. if we bash the rednecks and the the like, okay. They deserve it. They are morons and dangerous sometimes. But most importantly we must bash all the A h$les, be it in South Africa (you are aware of what is going on there), China, Louisiana, Jersey City or Golders Green, etc..
Oh, another thing.... always read the very, very fine prints when you sign a contract with an Englishman. They are the best in contract law.
Cheers. This is a very good post.
Certain Texans are cool however. See below:
