I like Americans......

.....'cause my sister married one ( great bloke he is too ), and I have several nieces and nephews who are Americans.

... 'cause they (as a nation) have the balls to stand up and fight for what they believe to be right, regardless of the cost to themselves.

.....'cause they  believe 'everyone' has the same rights they do, not just the folks who speak the same language, or live on the same continent, or pray to the same God.

.......'cause they are generally likeable :)  Every American I have ever met just wanted to get on with enjoying the life, liberty and the freedoms their country stands for, and has fought to provide them with.


......'cause they know how to make stuff PROPPERLY.  ie, cars, motorcycles, aircraft, boats.......he he...weapons :)

.......'cause their fathers and grandfathers pretty much saved my country from the japanese sixty years ago. (something which i feel a lot of people forgot all too quickly)

.........'cause a few years ago, when the largest Muslim population in the world was making some rather rude noises just a bit north of here, they sent out a bunch of Marines, ships, choppers, planes etc to sorta hang out off Townsville for a while and hold umm...."scheduled excersises".

.........'cause when rattling the old saber just doesnt quite work anymore, they'll draw said sabre, and use it to dellicately cut diseased bits out, rather than just cutting the head clean off, as most other 'sabre rattle' capable countries have been known to do.




But mostly, because they (the ones i know) are nice people.



Yanks, and God speed and good fortune to your troops and ours.

Soccer, i hate soccer but other than that-  You're welcome :)


Once i picked up an american guy and his australian buddy on the street while they were hitchhiking. The lived at my flat about a week and i didn't regret it. Still have the american guys 'Smoking Jacke', he bought in London before they came to Germany. He gave it to me after i lend him a raining coat for a lifetime because it was raining, the day they left. Still got his bill from 'Carnegie Hall' in London,too, which was inside the jacket :)


Regards Blitz

Thanks Bluedog!

"Actually I thought the accents in LA extremely difficult to understand at times, unlike Washington which I found easy.

Mind you everyone had alot of trouble with mine...aparently Aussies talk to fast, and use too much slang.

Tronsky"

I think what you were hearing was the mexican version of spanish.  Ya little commie.

bluedog... thanks for the sentiment.

Yeah was pleased you did well actually, seems football is very much looked down on by some people in your country, maybe a good world cup run will stimulate some interest.

As for you going as far as England did - look at the teams you had compared to ours : -

USA - Portugal, Korea, Poland, Mexico and Germany

England - Nigeria, Sweden, Argentina, Demark and Brazil (got beaten by a lucky goal too! ;))
