Quite simple, to me as a Brit, America comes aross as a scared nation, why, because of here, Collarme.com,the  Politics and religion forum. Is this a fair representation of the Ameerican peoples, or is it some on here make you appear a lot worse than what you truly are ?

Well, if we were to judge all the U.K. by you, I'd have to conclude the British are not very bright, and like it that way.

Fortunately, I know better than to do so.

I know of a few who Brits who have left this website due to much of what I feel, I am very near to tht myself...



Oh, I'm heartbroken.

We'll miss you.

What you don't seem to realize is how arrogant and pompous many Brits on here come across as.

I don't mind the criticism of U.S.policies but the constant bashing of everything American becomes tiresome.

I believe there must be something external that is exaggerating your feelings and perceptions. Nothing has changed in tone or methods on forums such as this for the life of the internet.

If people are saying they are leaving because of this, then I call BS.



Where did you disappear to?

Welcome back, even though I'm going to disagree with everything you say.

Kinkroids, the writing is on the wall...'a scared nation' or a nation of fear, is a profit center. The 'war on terror' [sic], security and counter-terrorist profits, drug war profits, anti-missile system profits. Put society in fear and the people will allow power to coalesce as was done most prolifically by Bush & Co. and what Obama has not...undone. I wonder how many notice that ?

We are still in 'Afghanisnam'...the war that will never end.

"You know this war is a war that we will never win. We will fight it for our lifetimes and our kid's lifetime." Gen. Patreus to a collegue at a white house meeting.

Defense budget 2X that of the highest cold war budget. ($700 Billion) that's per year...babydolls.

Suffice to say, those that have sought to influence the American public to stay at war, stay at work building arms, staying at war against drugs for the fear, the partisanship, the spending and the profits...have been very, very successful.

The general ignorance or banter about which is what infects most forums. The participants want to always lay blame on the other side. So society at large remains blind to their ambitions.

I agree. And, as someone who is on his third passport, and who has been to 17 countries, 37 states, 3 provinces, and Puerto Rico, I think my perspective is a bit less provincial than your average Ami or Brit.

As far as I can tell, your average Brit travels to watch football, get shitfaced, and fight.

The majority of Brits are ignorant chavs, no doubt about it.

You mean scared because we cling to the status quo and partisan play like starving babies to teats, and partisan unite against perceived threats to this identity?

Come on; surely you jest.

Actually.....just saying that is fine. You'd expect people to say that about their home nation. IMO ofc, mebe I'm in a minority.

Personally, I find things like "I don't mind the criticism of U.S.policies but the constant bashing of everything American becomes tiresome." a little more annoying. I haven't particularly noticed constant bashing of everything American. There's a lot of criticism because there's a lot worth criticising. Although just saying that, is of course....America bashing. And we're pompous, arrogant....perhaps even jealous (of mumble-mumble-mumble), when say anything even vaguely negative.....even when it's on a politics forum and it's a thread not to do with america that's been dragged into, somehow...being about american parties, 'this is the problem with socialism/rightwingers, Bush/Obama is going to ruin this country', or more commonly...in defense of inaccurate statements about our own nations.


@Kinkbound: that's much more my view aye.

Dont you count what the Brits did in the war of 1812 as an invasion?

When one considers that America is one of the only un-invaded countries(the Aleutians don`t count)in the world,one has to wonder why there is so much paranoia and so many militia groups,conspiracy groups and politicians who pander to them.

It`s almost as if boredom produces the fear.

Look at how many European countries have been invaded,raped to death and butchered and how many times?

There`s nothing quite like the bed-wetters we have here in the home of the brave.

I know of a few who Brits who have left this website due to  much of what I feel, I am very near to tht myself, but I am one who perhaps foolishly hangs on, hopefully to at least make people have cause to think.

Well it made me think your a bit off if you think CM represents the thoughts of most americans any more than your posts represent the thoughts of everyone in the UK. Not sure if that was your goal, but if it was...congrats.


Admittedly I find this forum, perhaps even this website brings out the worst in me,to that I apologise, but I have to ask,why is that so.Is it because of those whom I mostly try to communicate are foreign to my way of thought ?

That's right, it's everyone on the webs fault that you can't control yourself online. Keep telling yourself that and never ever take responsibility for your own actions.

This.

In real life .......... not cyber chest thumping land.......we manage to be decent human beings, over all. Hell, I even manage to get along with a few far left, idealists and a few far right, mislead. And I'm not exactly the nicest person your ever going to meet.

Seriously, if someone leaves a website because their feelings get hurt or sensibilities get offended, good riddance.
