Spring is Coming!
You can also add that typical Americans have this idea that anyone with an English accent is VERY SMART. -.-
Really? Most people not from California generally have no clue where I'm from based on my accent.
Hey Krake. Just pointing out, it's not all people here in the UK that talk badly about Americans. Americans talk badly about us too!
Americans are stupid. British people moan. Guess we have to deal with stereotypes, haha! Of course you equally get moaning Americans and stupid Brits. I know a few! ha!
Eh, I'd have to disagree. Every country is going to badmouth a country to a certain extent, but never have I seen more British complain about our way of life (measurements, being fat, stupid, calling football soccer, and electing Bush) more than vice-versa.
The only things I've heard Americans even say about England is just the same standard tea and crumpets stereotype. That's it. They don't make fun of your government, spelling, or anything else.
I knew you would say that.Seems said:Highlighting the fact "I've heard/seen" meaning by your experiences.
I do realize that not all British people aren't like that, but they seem to talk badly about us moreso than Americans do about you guys, like what GhostAnime says. It seems like whenever America makes a questionable action over something, then the UK is more than likely to harp on us and call us stupid Americans and the like.

I knew you would say that.
Fair enough since it is only my experience, but this is clearly seen even on spp (a mostly North American chat, all the while). I've been on forums that were mostly dominated by Americans and still saw what I saw. There is no way I can see more UK to America hostility than the opposite in American dominated sites.
Oh and yeah, I'm mostly talking about the internet. Surprise, people IRL are nicer to other cultures than on the Internet!
Meanwhile, all of my UK online friends seem to easily recall crap that happens here. I guess that may be because America doesn't cover the entire world and itself?
GhostAnime said:One other thing I'll also add.. is that there was a teenage UK kid I knew in school who SPECIFICALLY told me (online, of course, but we're still friends today) that his teacher taught his students to detest America.
