The only thing I'm annoyed with is English or Australian actors in American war movies. Black Hawk Down? Engish director with tons of English actors. Patriot? Australian actors and director. That has got to be one of the oddest, almost downright shameful things. Can you imagine Americans making a film about the French Revolution in France? How about the Chinese making a film about the Korean War about Koreans in Korea? Strange....
Other than that, I got British blood somewheres in me and met one mate in Japan who was a bloody good chap! U.K. rocks |

Can't argue with that.
Don't like the idea of living in a country where you have to pay fees at a hospital even to have a baby though...
Christ, it sounds so harsh... |

If we are talking about Britain dont forget: rampant classism, lack of upward mobilty, a festering domestic muslim problem, a feisty Scotland with visions of secession, atrocious transport and a crumbling infrastructure, racism equal or more than that of the USA. It was one of Britains top funny men who said " Americans are better looking and richer than us, but funnier? Sadly they are funnier now as well."
Britain may have good medical care, but it sure is demonstrated through dentistry. |
Lack of upward mobility doesn't exist in the UK at all! Trust me, I'm a prime, textbook example of it. Where people who get the notion Britain still has a two-tiered class system from beats me...
Right about the Muslims though. Tell em to shut up, integrate and stop making demands or piss off back to their war torn hell-holes if you ask me.
The othe rpoints could be argues for and against, so I'll leave them as my fingers hurt at the moment.
Funnier? Americans? Now that is a joke judging from most of the asinine, slapstick tv humour. Even the people on TV now that are being a bit satirical and attempting high brow humour are poor imitations of what their UK counterparts were doing in the eighties. I'd say both countries have equally decent stand up and South Park is one of the funniest shows ever made,thoug I'd say the UK has tons more.
We do have great dentists also. Problem is we people over 20 years old grew up with free dental care and when we lost it, we weren;t used to paying for dentistry, so kind of begrudge having to pay for it - so a lot of people put it off till the last moment imo.... |

I'm shamed, nay saddened, to admit that there are two areas that we lack compared to Britain, beer and cheese.
Seriously, Britain has cheese named after areas and counties that are really great cheese. We in the U.S, what named cheese do we get? American, uh, what crap.
No need to comment on the beer, other than the obvious of course. |

I've tried those chedders and I have to say, British cheddar is way more tasty than American. It's stronger, nuttier, and more varied. Of course, I'm talking about what is nationally available. Not local stuff. You might be from Idaho and have an excellent local cheddar. I dunno. |

| Yeah, our national brands of cheese are pretty weak but upstate New York has some local cheese shops that are to die for. |
