It is today, for your information, for years to the day that the American Twin Towers collapsed after terrorist attacks in New York. :(

That is quite possibly the most absurd suggestion I've ever come across. Bush is the worst president America has seen for a very long time.

Its alright for them to speak American English, but if we were to say "Portsmouth English and London English" they'd be an international outrage.

Does that include putting in apostrophes where they are not needed?

Oh, everything that's high tech MUST be American. Just like the Internet. The true World Wide Web (HTML, HTTP language, web pages and the rest) was created by the Swiss in the early nineties at CERN.

The initial development of the system was by a British person though!

I also really hate the way that English (that is proper English) is referred to as "British English", whilst the American corruption is called "English". :roll:.

Not "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Clinton, or "Do I look like a liar" Nixon?

I don't know why everyone is so anti American. You do realise that the Americans speak English because we took over their land in the first place? Americans have a different strand of English to us, so what? Why is that a bad thing? Surely we should applaude a slightly different variation to our own language. Do you go up to people with accents that are of a Northern orgin and tell them they speak funny? Maybe you do.

Americans are not all bad, and they aren't as egotistical as everyone seems to think. Maybe if everyone stopped trying to be anti-American they should realise what they are saying is really just a load of rubbish, based upon a people which they obviously have no or little knowledge about. America is a great place, and certainly has a much better system of taxation than this country does.

Remember America is such a large country that it idiotic to leave a general statement such as "Americans are egotisical", as that is simply untrue.

Clinton? The bloke could have had the world if he had kept his pants on.

Tricky Dicky? Nah. Has provided too many funny scenes on the Simpsons and Futurama for me to hate him.

It is English, they speak exactly the same, I understand them, it's just the spelling's which are differant, I even spell stuff the british way all of the time at school and get FULL credit for it, even in spelling class. The American's don't care if I spell in the British way, so why should we care how America spell's there word's? :roll: Just please, ACCEPT AMERICA IS A DIFFERANT COUNTRY THAN THE UK AND THEY CAN SPELL HOW THEY WANT TO

Britian is my home country, I love it, It's GREAT, but I am also getting my American Citizenship, so its offending me when you are all calling America.



And also, when did sombody in this world say the American's invented the internet? Everyone knows that the Europeans did 8)

I could go on and on and on........ but I won't.

My feelings of America are this. The Leaders are bullies. They try to impose their will on the whole world IE. They say "Do this or we will impose sanctions"

For instance, when they went to war with Afganistan and Iraq, George Bush threatened to impose Trade Tarifs on Steel unless we went along with them, and we are supposedly their friends :!: :shock:

Actually, you are wrong, if it wasnt for America, the world will be gone now because Iraq had those bad weapons, which will blow the world up in a second.

I feel sorry for the vast majority[1] of Americans who did not vote for Bush.

[1] (approx. 75% as around 50% voted IIRC and of them only slightly more than 50% voted for Bush and it was more like 49% last time!)

The war was illegal though.

It is illegal by international law, it is legal by US law. Who wins? International law, who does Bush say wins? US law.

What do the majority say? It is illegal.

OK Gareth, tell me this:

Why is it that the Americans are allowed to own an arsenal of 'Bad Weapons' and not Iraq?

Oh come off it, you know exactly why. Saddam Hussain was dangerous, even if the claims of WMD were greatly exaggerated. He could still have had the weapons, even if at the moment we have no proof.

And the USA isn't "dangerous"?

Remind me which country has used nuclear weapons to kill thousands of innocent people?
