This USA v UK bickering has to stop.

Nope.

Seeing our game is mostly played with the foot and your game is mostly played with the hand I think you should rename it Handball.
Plus If you asked every person on earth "Do you like football" most would think you were talking about our game.

Nice try though

Lol, FIGHT ON!!

I think you’ll find the biggest difference between the UK and the USA is religion in the UK we had Christianity forced upon us in the USA they forced Christianity upon themselves .

While most Brits distrust Christianity most Americans love Jesus Christ their savior unreservedly on the other hand neither the Australians or the Canadians are quite such bible thumpers which is why there is far less distrust between our nations.

come on it is the internet

keyboard warriors

Game On let Battle Commence .


Or you can just sit back and take a chill pill and watch the game's

That is a good point, us Brits while the census says we are Christian (most just put that because of past family ties etc to Christianity) most of us do not practise any religion.
You find alot of migrant workers here are very religious but I can count on one hand the people I know born here who actually display their faith.
But is this the same in the USA? in certain states I may think so but in others I think they are uber religious. I dunno hopefully a nice USAer can help us out on this.

Like I said I don't mind banter and welcome it but it gets to the point where it isn't banter and really we just don't need to fight..arn't we better than that?.

My biggest quam is the amount of comments from our UK pals saying "you, you, you" when talking about an American issue, acting as if the American members on this site are the ones orchestrating all the BS that goes on in the world. The majority of American ATS users think very poorly of our current situation, so stop with the generalizing.

The US had a draft plan to invade UK after world war 2 I heard. Not certain if true or not.

I have nothing against the people of the uk, but heres the problem
our friendship is a big lie
you see, we fought two wars against you. when that failed, you encouraged a civil war in our country, only to fail.
then, in an effort to wreck a global competitor, you helped trigger the first full scale world war. with assistance of American traitors and stooges, the us was dragged into that event. a catastrophe concluded so poorly by the winners, that it precipitated another world war.
by this time dirty hands on both sides of the atlantic, for reasons only known to them, helped create a situation where civilization was backed into another must fight war. a situation again with the assistance of traitors, opportunists, and yet more stooges the us was dragged kicking and screaming into.
once again the world was pulled from the fire, only to find itself even deeper in the clutches of the behind the curtain evil, and this time at odds with another golem brought forth to terrify the world into confrontation.
now, during all this time, what did our friends from the uk do for us? they gave us cecil Rhodes with his subversive Rhodes scholar system, and his infamous RIIA inspired Council for Foreign Affairs. You gave us Tavistock institute and their mind manipulation. Fabian socialists and their insidious lies. the us dedicated vast treasure to defend against the Russian bogeymen while your agents time and again sold out western secrets as you spent your wealth on buying off your citizens with the fairy tale of socialist utopia. the greatest hero of the uk in the past hundred years was dropped like last weeks fish for a politician offering free healthcare and other free stuff give aways. the rosenbergs got the chair for what they did, fuchs got what, 9yrs?
In short, the American people have been bleed dry trying to help. and in return we have been manipulated, betrayed, infiltrated, and soon to be subjugated. The UK is home to some of the worst cancers on the planet. the monarchy. socialists. "the city" bankers. and now those malignancies are every bit an American affliction as anywhere else that they managed to infect. you can just see how some of our elites drool over those titles and all that bowing and scraping your aristocracy get.
the American and English elites are as close of friends as a couple of mafia dons working together on a big score, all the while looking for their opportunity to knife the other in the back. the rest of us are just cannon fodder and pawns in their games.
by the way, when are you going to take piers morgan back?

All very well and good but I mean us on ATS the members....
Plus I disagree Clement Attlee is a hero to many here in the UK he was voted in by the people...we get you don't like our socialistic medicine but here many including myself will fight tooth and nail for it.
The USA got very rich of the UK during WW2 It helped us out immensely of course but still you made money from us.

en.wikipedia.org...

Also WW1 well the germans kept sinking your ships and wanted Mexico to join them and promised them Texas and other land lost during the Mexican/American war 70 years earlier, we passed on that info on and that became a cause for war.

europeanhistory.about.com...

Also how many of us did all that? us Brits had nowt to do with it.

Oh and your TV network signed him so you can keep him lol

reply to post by robobbob


Also to add about WW2, Churchill told Roosevelt If we lost the German's would get it's hands on our Navy which was the bigest in the world at that time and frankly If Hitler had all of Europe and our navy the USA would be next.
So please lets blame the real bad guys eh? the Nazis.

Just to add we all know about the evil bankers etc blah blah but that isn't us the normal Brits that is the elites which we will all fight in good time.
There is no reason for normal Americans and Britons not to get along, telling us how we did so much to you when it wasn't us (normal folk) is like me blaming all you normal folk for the Iraq war etc.,
