Anti-britishism

[Incongruous]

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.

[ShadeHonestus]

Warm bear, bad soccer, and ugly women are examples of modern British Cultural Impierialism that gains my disapproval.

forgot poor dental hygiene

[Incongruous]

It's FOOTBALL G'DAMIT!
I HATE AMERICA!

What is wrong with using oral-B?
I find it freshens and whitens.

GAH! why is no one else joining in on my circus of hillary(you could insert it if you want, might not be as funny)

[Yun Dog]

they dont wash

baths are a annual event

its cold and miserable - and thats just the people

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

[Grey_Fox]

The english girl who took advantage of me started biting my tongue. It hurt.

[Husar]

Yunus Dogus, that's hilarious.

Well, they didn't join the master race, no other reason needed.

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.

Dont be bitter because no one cares what Australia says, or thinks, or does...if anything...

[Pannonian]

Because of this:

blocked

Adblock is a wonderful thing.

[Incongruous]

Yeah adblock is so banging I would do it anyday, as long as it dont support MAN U.

Someone has issues... I take it you're bitter?

Edit: Image block in Firefox works just as well.

[Incongruous]

I did'nt think he liked bitter?
Its all dirty and B R I T I S H.

[HoreTore]

Why, oh why, would anyone block a picture of such beautiful ladies...

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.

[macsen rufus]

Envy. Pure envy.....

And who says we have no sense of humour, we established Australia didn't we?

[HoreTore]

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.

[Proletariat]

This thread delivers

[ZombieFriedNuts]

They envy us because we used to rule the world.

[English assassin]

Because of this:

Oi, no babes outside the babes thread, its the rules.

As for anti-britishism, I blame the Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish. Obviously no one could dislike the English as we are famously friendly, down to earth, and modest. Also we have quaint laws that the Americans love, like still having the death penalty for orthodontists after one laughed at queen Victoria's vast overbite.

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.

[Dave1984]

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?

[Proletariat]

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.

[Odin]

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.

[English assassin]

Is there going to be reasonable discussion or are we just going to see anti-British insults the whole time?

Insults, if I have anything to do with it. Stiff upper lip old bean. At least we are still worth insulting. Who ever had a prejudice against Norway?*

@ prole, the middle east is a bit ropey. On the other hand being a Brit in Manhatten is gravy I regard that as a more than reasonable trade off. Rest of the world is usually a piece of cake, once they realise you aren't American 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.

*No offence intended to a fine country

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

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!

[macsen rufus]

what countries or parts of the world do you not feel welcome in?

Paris - but that's more about being non-Parisian than being British in particular and certain parts of Wales, of course.

But for the love of Christ, learn to cook!

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

Now excuse me, I have to rehearse......

(sounds off stage) al-you-mi-nyum, al-you-mi-nyum..... (repeats endlessly.....)

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