I rather like the vulgar unedumacated stupid don't-care Americans.

It's the educated idiots that give the rest a bad name.

If I understand these poll results correctly, 7/10 Britons enjoy the company of obnoxious vulgar people and don't particularly mind that we steal their wallets and shoot at them when they visit Los Angeles, while 2/3 polled fully expect Americans to take a more proactive stance on shooting and robbing people by annexing England (which we can't find on a map).

Why shouldn't the "britons" percieve us as cruel, and vulgar? That's how our media portrays us.

Im a dovoted American, and yet i agree with them. George W. Bush is giving us a bad name. I dont think its us as citizens they dislike, it our administration, which i agree with 100%

As an American living in Europe, I will say this much,
Bush as done more damage to the US reputation in the last 5@6 years than any other president in history. granted he has had a few bright moments but in general he is a loser.

In what way? Britain receives three million American visitors every year. It would be more, but the passport issuing authority can't keep up the pace!

And it helps if you get more than 2 weeks off work each year!

But the ones that do come here, they bloody love us! I had lunch with two Yanks just recently. I think they found London quite exciting after Bloomington, Indiana.

"we totaly saved their ass's along with the French in WW2. Well WW1 as well really"

Not "totally". The attempted invasion of Britain, ie the Battle of Britain, was fought in 1940 without American assistance. America was a neutral country back then. And then came the B17 raids on Europe. Did Roosevelt think there was oil down there or something?

I tend to agree with Heater. ^ I'm not one for being critical of foreign governments, except in extreme cases, but a lot of the ill feeling being described in this thread can be ascribed directly to Bush. "We will prevail" - who's a pretty boy then?

Are you aware that your post is very offensive ?

Straffo, Reynolds is like 12 years old...

Just ignore him.

Beetle,

As justifiably proud as you are of Britain's Finest Hour, you weren't fighting totally alone during the summer of 1940. A substantial number of the pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain were foreigners: Poles, Czechs, French, Americans, Belgians, and several others.

In addition, Roosevelt's administration was doing everything it could, in the face of opposition from a powerful isolationist and pacifist movement, to funnel arms, ammunition, and fuel to England.

So you get 3 million American tourists a year in England eh? So what. Arkansas, the smallest state west of the Mississippi, and one of the poorest, gets over a million tourists a year. Neener neener neener.

I've been to London twice. Nice place...but there aren't enough trees, there are too many people, and you can't hunt in the city limits. How uncivilized.

Regards, Shuckins

What the heck is in Arkansas that makes it so special to tourists, a Smokey and the Bandit statue?

Anyways on a serious note, what really does bring in that much tourists?
