Sorry mate. Was only messing.
I'm not exactly a fan of the US but I don't hate it or anything.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

By all means, assholes. Rebuild your houses in tornado alley and be thankful next spring when your fucking 'god' wipes you out again but doesn't kill you.
Morons. They deserve to die.

Eleazar's quibble might take the form of "if god didn't love us, he wouldn't have graciously given us the opportunity to suffer to appreciate his love for us", or "all things flow from god's love, therefore even appearent avidence of god's lack of love really can't exist without god's love".

Cant say that I blame you, seeing as we kicked your asses off our land twice, and saved your asses from your European neighbors twice.
That must really sting.

Not really. If I was living back in those days, I might of ended up on the American's side.
Didn't expect me to say that did you?
Back then (empire days), the poverty level and tax levels were fucking awful. I probably would of ran over to the states myself. Of course things are quite different today, and I'm happy with the way the country is now. It's free, it's fair and I'm very happy here. We have our crummy leaders like you do, but all in all, I'm quite happy to call myself a Brit.
Besides, you're not all good anyway, what happened to the indigenous people over there? Also, the second world war may of still been won even without the aid of the Americans, Nazi forces and supplies will eventually become too stretched to fight off so many nations. Either way, you had to get involved, Hitler wanted the world under nazi rule, including the US.

Ironic that the "Boston Tea Party" was to protest a tax that was levied to help pay for the cost of the French and Indian War, which directly benefited the colonials.

Didn't expect me to say that did you? Actually I figured you would say something nice. Like I said before, other than a minor friendly ribbing here and there, I love the Brits. Good people. As far as I am concerned we should be very close allies. I cant say much for the uber conservatives in my country. Seems the only ally they want is Israel, and to hell with Everyone else. To them, "God bless America" includes "God damn every other country except Israel".

Still a few bugs in the system trying to justify their existence through "It's our tradition" arguments, but all in all a nice civilisation. Glad to see you all didnt break down into years and years of chaos and mobs like the French did on a few occasions.

Thats how we take care of things around here.
No, many of us Americans are EXTREMELY sorry about what our ancestors did, and many of the tribes are well taken care of now.

To be really honest with you, if I was to run into battle, I'd want an American standing by my side. We are family after all. We've had our disputes, you deserve your independence and we should work together like hell. Brit and American standing strong side by side.
But like brothers, we will bicker from time to time.
I still see you lot as one of us, it's just there is alot of water between us.
You Americans are alright. It's a shame really that the empire didn't respect your need to be free and independent.

Here's a good deal...we'll forget the whole indigenous people thing and just assume they started it.
And you come over here for a nice cuppa.
