Unbelievable, I'll add this to my list of why I hate america and even though I have close family in the states, I will never go.
There's something really wrong about a country which moralises 2 UNIVERSITY students having sex, but then lets people die for not having the correct health care. ____________________ I've a twin and a 4. |

It's a Mormon church based school. He was dumb enough to (a) go there and (b) admit to it, where's the problem? Sure, the rule's backward, but it's not like he couldn't have known - it's like going into a no smoking restaurant, lighting up then wondering why you've been asked to leave.

So you won't visit the whole of the USA because they don't have national healthcare and is full of bible bashers?
It's Utah, the mothership of the Mormon religion and it's crazy ways, it's also full of what appears to be a heavily inbred population of American Indians. It has some amazing national parks though so it's upto you if you want to ignore it. There are 49 other states which are crazy in other way but generally a bit more normal. It's not like counties in England, the states are more like seperate countries with entirely different ways and law sets. |

Well lets debate!
Britain unlike America managed to avoid being stupid enough to make alcohol illegal (haha prohibition), win significant wars successfully all over the world despite its size (France an Britain 200 years war while the US is only 200 odd years old.), avoided being stupid enough to make guns legal (more American's died this year due to shootings than have died in all of 2008 wars combined), America has yet to make a friend, Britain has a history of success and ingenuity that allowed it while being one of the smallest nations in the world to have the largest empire of ALL TIME and history speaks for itself with England. 4000 years of being something special and over 1000 years of never being conquered.
We have better teeth LOL!, and 4000 years of history.
The oldest proto-human bones discovered in England date from 700,000 years ago. The discovery, of Homo erectus remains, was made in what is today Norfolk and Suffolk.
British Empire - 1000 years unconquered, 100 years imperial expansion
Roman Empire - 1000 years continuous expansion, legal establishment of the world. City state of Rome controls Europe, Africa now holds head of the Catholic Church.
Greek Empire - Inventors of philosophy, Democracy, all known fields of science and medicine. (Hermetic oath)
US - Developed by a coup d'état British defector and given a Jazzy flag, develops the computer, sciences developed by everyone else. Economy starts to fall after a mere 60 years then gets into fights over oil barrens around the world.
Those boy's don't even come close (YET)
Brits make fun of everybody, even amongst themselves, especially if the target is pretentious and boorish. They have a keenly developed sense of satire, a national pastime, which is often misinterpreted by other nations.
Americans frequently respond to any kind of criticism by assuming "jealousy". This appears to be part of the national psyche which too often includes a sense of exceptionalism and gives rise to grandiose claims about the nation and it's peoples.
Americans suffer a sense national narcissism as a result of having to be so falsely altruistic in order to survive whilst watching their backs all the time.
False altruism is a form of compulsive lying which after a long time leads the creation of unrealistic personal realities, combine that with paranoia fueled fear having to watch your back all the time and you get localised and national narcissism. Plus the government’s selling point of the dream can't help either. (Of which they don't have much choice given the size and nature of the US)
I think the animosity towards the US started with Bushes Gangster like reign, he never came across very well over here in the uk. (But who knows as we are no-one elses moral judge)
He was chosen as a fall guy for the dark lords who surreptitiously social engineer us for massive profit and technological gains.
It's also about the US's machine like narcissistic foreign policy and the manipulation of NATO.
NASA astronauts Michael Foale, Piers Sellers and Nicholas Patrick were British born. Michael Foale has joint nationality but Piers Sellers and Nicholas Patrick had to become American citizens to fly into space. Space tourist Richard Garriott is a US citizen though he was born in the UK.
During the 2008 ESA astronaut selection, over 800 applicants (10% and the 4th largest of the ESA total) were from the UK.
