I'll take Limey history over yank anyday. Ours include the beggining tribes with stone henge, celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Royal Lineage, spanish armarda, civlil war, largest ever empire, 2 world war, giving women the vote (oh dear) and so on.

American indians, independence, presidents, slavery, north/south civil war, introduction of pizza (American golden age) involvement in 2 world wars, 60's black figure heads, space race etc.

We have terrific history. Westward expansion, Indian wars, The Mexican War, Civil Rights, etc..

Also if we look to the arts, and limit ourselves to 1776 - - present the U.S. can make an overwhelming case for itself.

In literature: Melville, Hawthorne, Poe, James, Hemingway KO3 Dickens, Thackeray, Austen, Wilde, etc.

In the visual arts you'd have to go waaaaaaaaayy back to Reynolds, Constable, Turner, etc. to find noteworthy cotributions from the UK

In music we win also. Quite aside from the fact that the hybrid form of art music (jazz) originated here, we've also made more contributions to traditional European music.

you have to remember that pop fiction has become more popular than playwrites in recent years and guys like conan doyle, Tolkien, Lewis and ian flemming have influenced movies and books since.

Beatles, Rolling stones, Queen etc. Dominate bands like no other. Although America has Elvis and playdough face Jacko so they have the good single music guys.

Yes I know. But my point was not about the Beatles in the first place. I merely stated that Americans in the past two centuries have been more productive musically than Brits. And I referred to Jazz and European art music (i.e., 'classical' in the broad sense). I did not want to compare The Beatles to the Jackson Five and shit like that.

Because the war was "lost" politically because of it's unpopularity. We won the actual battles. Yes Mickey, we speak English but if it wasn't for us you might be speaking German now lol. Oh and believe me America would be a culinary powerhouse without it's contingent of brittish chefs. People continually say here that we are only 200 years old. That is precisely the point. We are 200 years old and we rule the world (but we don't "rule" in the archaic colonial sense that you brits were so fond of, thats self destructive). Alot of that power was obtained only in the 20th century. We are amazing aren't we. So amazing that our brilliance inspires threads like this lol.

Oh....so your one of these people that think America won WWII.

At that time, Russia could probably have taken on both at the same time, they were considered the strongest nation.



Russia faced declarations of war and attacks from Germany, Italy Romania, Finland, Slovakia and Hungary. It was just a matter of time before Japan turned on Russia as well, there were plans in the works that were scrapped because of more compelling interests. The United States forced japan to choose between attacking to the south or abandoning it's invasion of China. America assisted the beleagured Russia in the face of all of this with aid and supplies (and by the way bank rolled great britain by granting it unlimited credit preventing it from going bankrupt) .
The United States had the luxury of being extremely inaccessable (being located on another continent) and of having the atomic bomb. Russia had neither of these.

Having lived in both the US and the UK, let me make my brief summary:

US women > Limey women. (American girls really do take care of there appearance. You only notice how much when you leave the US and study/live elsewhere. The ave US girl 18-30 would be a beauty queen by British standards. This excludes any obese ones). Healthy tans, nice bodies, fun loving.

Personal opportunity: US>UK. Far too much red tape in the UK. To "make it" America is still the place to be. Tax is far higher.

UK comedy > US (exc. sitcoms). The Brits cant do sitcoms, but they are brilliant at stand-up, political satire and impressionism.

UK sports > US. (Cricket, soccer, tennis and boxing were all founded in the UK. Basketball and baseball are not my cup of tea. Ditto NFL)

Thing is, excluding all the obese American girls rather screws up the US average.


In my opinion US girls will be less attractive on average due to the higher percentage of fatties and the black girls. I don't have jungle fever.

The Scots are alright. I'm quite fond of the hard drinking penny pinchers. In fact you gotta love a country that produces such fine individuals as laddie, Jimmy and the rest of em. I'm with you on France though.

I'd also insist that whoever was prime minister was strictly not allowed to kiss any fat yanks arse...and I'd declare an anti fat yank week, in which no-one was allowed to serve any fat yank (either visiting this country or living here) food. That'll teach em. They always did say that the way to get to a fat yank is through his stomach.

In the U.S. the Black population is about 12 percent so if you have a problem with that group it is not an issue as far as averages are concerned. On the physical level, it isn't even close, American girls completely devastate british girls, even factoring in heavy ones. The streets of manhattan vs the streets of London lol. However i am not superficial. I can't tolerate brainless beauty which is why earlier I said Limey girls > American girls and I stand by it.

On the issue, to break Wales from the UK, you could drill deep into the Earth's crust at the desired breaking point, and plant large yield nuclear devices. They'd be so far deep as to negate any radiation damage, and may just be powerful enough to split the tectonic plate.

Hey wait a minute, did you think I was talking about Europeans as a race?! I wasn't talking about race, I was talking about the geographical region. The people of that geographical region still have a tribal mentality as opposed to American integrationism. Indeed the very fact that you thought i was talking about a race instead of a region proves the point...everything is still tribal over there. I SAID EUROPEAN (people who live in Europe) NOT WHITE!

What!

America is no different to Europe when it comes to Tribal Mentality, you have more gangs per square mile in say LA than in most countries. That is tribal surely?

Europe is heavily integrated, the UK has a Tribal mentality simply because we are an island but I would say that there are still huge bands of tribes right across the world, they are simply ethnic groups regardless of your country!
