America blows because:
1) Your cars are sooo bland and ugly
2) Your cars guzzle fuel and can't go around corners (although I hate to say it but the Z06 looks good despite shite build quality)
3) You slate everyone's food when your national dish is a freaking lardburger. visit europe and check out what real food is like.
4) Your president is a prick, and noone questions him. He just arrives with loads of people waving flags, says some crappy pep talks then swaggers off without justifying his desisions (see prime minister's question time in the UK/breakfast with frost, etc)/
5) You;ve screwed yourselves properly with your gun-loving as now everyone has one and there's no way you could ever control them.
6) You have the US flag in every classroom and all the kids are effectively brainwashed into loving 'the flag' (see N.Korea for another example of this).
7) Way too many god-squads.
8) Your humour and sit-coms are so basic and low-brow. jokes are blatant and contrived.
9) Cheesy, US-Fellating hollywood movies (what? the US saved the world AGAIN?! wow...)
10) People are so cocky and big-headed thinking the US is the best place in the world (see (6)) and go around mouthing off and starting threads in forums essentially stating this.
11) TV is saturated with adverts. I remember watching a movie, and for every 6 minutes of film there was 3 minutes of adverts... WTF?!?!
12) Short attention spans (see 11) means I have to cut this short otherwise I'll be asked for cliffs.
i have a couple of friends from the UK. you don't represent them thank God.

If you haven't even been to Italy then you have no place to qualify anything about Europe.
Sometimes I wonder why people with such little imagination and interest travel at all. Stay home if you want to eat, see, and do the same things you always do.
I completely agree with this. If you hate things that are not the same as home then do us (and the people in the countries you are visiting) a favour and do not travel.

Come on dude, inventing new slang is not an American only thing, and there's nothing wrong with it. It does grate a bit when Americans tell me to 'speak English' when I use an English term they don't understand. Like aluminium.

Yea I agree with that bit. This however:
"If you haven't even been to Italy then you have no place to qualify anything about Europe."
Is a load of trash. What's so special about Italy? Thw main 3 EU countries are Britain, France, and Germany, visiting those plus another couple you're interested in like Holland or Greece would be a good trip and make a very complete picture of Europe.

Jealousy from paying far more for fuel due to taxes?2) Your cars guzzle fuel and can't go around corners (although I hate to say it but the Z06 looks good despite shite build quality)
No, people generally hold most european food in fairly high regard. It's just the UK that's generally regarded as having crap food.3) You slate everyone's food when your national dish is a freaking lardburger. visit europe and check out what real food is like.
Yeah, you'll get no argument from me there.4) Your president is a prick, and noone questions him. He just arrives with loads of people waving flags, says some crappy pep talks then swaggers off without justifying his desisions (see prime minister's question time in the UK/breakfast with frost, etc)/
This is a matter of perspective. Only criminals in your country have guns. Here at least law-abiding citizens can have them too.5) You;ve screwed yourselves properly with your gun-loving as now everyone has one and there's no way you could ever control them.
That's more the work of parents than schools. But patriotism isn't a bad thing, it's how far it's taken, as with any form of zealotry.6) You have the US flag in every classroom and all the kids are effectively brainwashed into loving 'the flag' (see N.Korea for another example of this).
Another valid point.7) Way too many god-squads.
Eh, not all of it.8) Your humour and sit-coms are so basic and low-brow. jokes are blatant and contrived.
Again, not all of it.9) Cheesy, US-Fellating hollywood movies (what? the US saved the world AGAIN?! wow...)
See previous two responses10) People are so cocky and big-headed thinking the US is the best place in the world (see (6)) and go around mouthing off and starting threads in forums essentially stating this.
Depends on the channel, but many of us have the same complaints. But then, that's why we have movie channels and DVDs and such.11) TV is saturated with adverts. I remember watching a movie, and for every 6 minutes of film there was 3 minutes of adverts... WTF?!?!
I think I'll just give you a :roll: on this one.12) Short attention spans (see 11) means I have to cut this short otherwise I'll be asked for cliffs.

Uh medicaid? Yeah, we do have that for poor people. We just don't want to be taxed out of existence so everyone can have it all for "free".

This seems to be a common complaint from the Brits for some reason. If it really bothers you guys so bad get off your asses and make your own movies, nothing is stopping you.

Fuel tax is what makes people drive small engined cars and makes manufacturers work on improving efficienccy/MPG performance. This is neccessary because we are part of the Kyoto agreement that old GWB refused to opt for (hey, the US only produces a quarter of the world's CO2 output, and some small, poor country isn't going for the Kyoto agreement, so why should they, eh?).
Fuel tax, although a ah heck, is a necessary evil in order for our countries to meet the agreed emission levels.
(the above can be point 15)

Get a £1 kebab from the place next a nightclub in London, and yes, it will be crap. Go to a nice pub in the country and you will get great food and beer.
