can't seem to understand a simple poem, that more or less points out that ALL your problems, are not because of a "lack of democracy" but because of your lack of faith, and duty.
Perhaps you indeed know less of Duty and faith to this nation, than you so claim?

And I paraphrase in saying that you told me in a latter post that I had not knowledge of faith nor duty.
The first quote, I am not so sure that it is a "typo" or wrong word usage, I'll not appologize but rather say if you are to stoop so low as to attack ones grammar than you are truly not worthy of conversing with.
What I've said 3 times upon this account, is that this poem points to a crucial problem in america, and you stand in the way of that vision by saying "America has nukes" and that you took personal offense at my pointing out this fact, when this fact is in no way a personal offense to you, even if you so saw it as such.

thats simply not true.
Most Brits love america, they like americans, and they enjoy aspects of american culture, food, hollywood etc
what most of them don't get however is the US's seeming inability to self depricate, as this is the source of much of british humour and culture, the US tend to come off as crass brash and a little dumb.
Bush is pretty much hated, and we don't support your war with Iraq or indeed the way your fighting your war on terror, but with the exception of US foreign policy, the current administration and a few of your more conservative aspects, christianity, death penalty, gun law, the US is regarded as a fairly pleasant place, we certainly like you more than the germans french or Italians.

I wish people would get off this "jealousy" trip.
you can apply it to countrys where the standard of living sucks but frankly we're all pretty well off in Britain, we may have hoiked up petrol prices but the average joe isn't jealous of the US.
