I could care less if England owns us or not. We all speak English. I see us as all brothers and I feel obligated to be an ally to England. If there was ever a country I would give my life for, it would be to help England. Yes, America is one big melting pot full of all kinds of ethnic backgrounds, but I feel that England holds our true history, culture, and traditions only with a few little discrepancies. I have alot of respect for England. Don't get me wrong, though, I love and am proud to be an American.
I don't like when people use the cliche line: "If it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking German". I would have to chalk that up to the Russians and RAF for dealing with the Germans. We probably could've contributed more but we had to deal with the Japanese as our main priority. Trust me. If Germay had to deal with the full force of our Marines, Germany would've surrendered before Christmas. Should've asked for some, Montgomery ; )
Not to mention I find the British accent sexy in a woman. ; )

Oh, I agree that war is useless and redundant, but it's our nature so it's going to be hard to eliminate wars entirely.

look all i'm saying is that so what if there is any truth to that story.
my point is, ok the queen owns us, let her try to cash in..see how far you'all get with it.
good luck with that.
British people make me laugh!, they are so insistent that they still have control over the US, I hope you'all know you would be speaking Texan if we so desired..in a blink of an eye there would be walmart stores in London.

Oh dear , now were going to get "you would all be speaking German if it wasnt for us" tripe again. more like flippin russian!!
No to be honest most British people could not give a monkeys hind quarters wether or not the US existed or not , that is the past ! a good few years ago , we pay attention to how we fit in with the world not , how does the world (as in the Earth) fit in with us..
And no we would not be speaking "Texan" we would still be speaking English.. or do Texans speak German ???
Im sorry to most Educated Americans i am not aiming any kind of insult to America , just getting fed up with covering this type of rhetoric time and again.
