I wan't to know what you folks think about it, I'm not going to even attempt a proper definition.
I feel that Britain because it holds a special place in the world, is being targeted as a nation.
I am going to ignore the fact that other countries get taken the *jam* out of, because I want to feel good.
I wan't to believe that you are all enviuos of us.
Warm bear, bad soccer, and ugly women are examples of modern British Cultural Impierialism that gains my disapproval.
[edit]
forgot poor dental hygiene
It's FOOTBALL G'DAMIT!
I HATE AMERICA!
What is wrong with using oral-B?
I find it freshens and whitens.

they sent a large portion of my nation to their deaths while they drank tea
they fully intended on defending us as well as they did singapore and let us get annexed by the japenese while they fought their stupid ,regular as daybreak wars over a cow pat sized piece of worthless dirt called europe
they spread this silly, painstakingly long (5 DAYS!!! who ever heard of such a thing), boring game called cricket like an std, and to continue the sexual analogy, like their sex, its boring & they are cr@p at it.
they suffer from little nation syndrome, so they had to go around colouring half the globe pink
the royal family (yes William too)
they smell bad
they whine incessantly about everything
Essex slappers
they wore bright red coats and fought in little squares so they were easier to kill
the bill
they deep fry everything
the spontaneously combust if subject to direct sunlight
they say they are speaking english but you cant understand a word that comes out of their mouths
a smiling englishman is a contradiction in terms
their silly little partitioning lines they drew all over the globe has caused most of the worlds wars
did i miss anything
The english girl who took advantage of me started biting my tongue. It hurt.
:laugh4:
Yunus Dogus, that's hilarious.:2thumbsup:
Well, they didn't join the master race, no other reason needed.:dizzy2:
Oh wait, they built more ships than we did and they only come here to get drunk, they basically go anywhere just to get drunk. ~;)
Because of this:

That's a good point, of course he has finest quality Australian Lager while we have to suffer cheap watery and warm 2 - 3% flat slop, as all the beer here is like that.Quote:

I'll probably commit suicide if/when Aass, the only beer in Norway who doesn't water down their beer, decides to do just that...
Probably by blowing myself up at the Carlsberg headquarters.
This thread delivers
They envy us because we used to rule the world.
Oi, no babes outside the babes thread, its the rules.Quote:

BTW, apparently not only is the beer in Australia poor quality lager, but they drink it in halves? Can you imagine? Mind you if I had to drink Fosters I wouldn't want to drink pints either.

So why do the Anti-American threads have generally sensible discussion as to why the world thinks of America as it does, but the Anti-Britishism thread has so far just been a place to mock the British?
Is there going to be reasonable discussion or are we just going to see anti-British insults the whole time?
Unless I'm way off, I took this thread as making a mockery of the anti-American threads...
Anyway, for all the British posters back here, what countries or parts of the world do you not feel welcome in? That's more or less the gauge I use for anti-Americanism. How many places I can go on vacation where I don't feel like the locals are expecting me to apologize immediately after hello.
Interesting thread thus far in comparisson to the other "anti" threads going. This isnt meant as spam, but I wanted to be sure I got subscribed.
for the record im not anti british, I think its a great place my brother in law is from Surrey, nice chap, except for him going on about "the ashes" and cricket.
Insults, if I have anything to do with it. :beam: Stiff upper lip old bean. At least we are still worth insulting. Who ever had a prejudice against Norway?*Quote:

@ prole, the middle east is a bit ropey. On the other hand being a Brit in Manhatten is gravy:2thumbsup: I regard that as a more than reasonable trade off. :yes: Rest of the world is usually a piece of cake, once they realise you aren't American :laugh4: People are surprisingly forgiving about the whole Empire thing, on the whole. (Obviously, we taught them well...)
Oh, and bits of Ireland aren't completely great.

I don't think anti-Britishism exists in the USA. If you've ever seen "Love, Actually", that Colin character? There's truth there, believe me. You'll be out at the bar, spending good cash on drinks and cutting a fine rug, just to see a 'chick vaccuum' appear when one of our neightbors from across the pond arrives. American girls will fall over themselves fighting to get their mitts on the goofiest, palest, skinniest dude with coke bottle glasses at the drop of the word "al-you-min-ee-um". It's just not fair :wall:
Every now and then you'll get some REAL hick or redneck that will feel a need to defend the nation's honor by hearkening back to our victories in 1783 and 1812 (wasn't one of those technically a draw? here's a hint...if we don't have a warship named after one of the battles, it wasn't a huge success for us). But the vast majority of Americans feel as though you, the Aussies, the Canadians and the Israelis are the only friends we've got left in the world.
But for the love of Christ, learn to cook!
Paris - but that's more about being non-Parisian than being British in particular :beam: and certain parts of Wales, of course.Quote:

This from the home of the Big Mac? Who says Americans don't do irony? ~DQuote:

Now excuse me, I have to rehearse......
(sounds off stage) al-you-mi-nyum, al-you-mi-nyum..... (repeats endlessly.....)
See my comments on Manhatten, above :2thumbsup:Quote:

Damned Brits! Untill then no Brit will be safe here in Finland~;) !
