Only one dumb ass here old boy and you demonstrate it admirably!
Piss off Bloke.
RGS, This is classic Brit arrogance. It is fine and dandy for them to look down on America, criticize and joke about our country. It is only a problem when you give it back. Then, the great British humor (or humour) dies and they get all defensive. Feel sorry for them, they can dish out humor but they cannot take it.
Personally, I never joke about Britain - there is nothing funny about it. Except that, even when they were the greatest Army on the earth, a rag tag bunch of Americans kicked their ass - and it still hurts!!
Yes but they were busy elsewhere as well!
Funny this nationalism. I don't like authoritarian government and the British in George III's time was as authoritarian as it gets. That they lost the American colonies was a good thing because it punched an authoritarian regime right in the face. And in doing so the former colonists hastened the emergence of modern liberal democracy which took its bloody time emerging in Britain, didn't happen until the 19th Century and even then women didn't get the vote until 1928!
