Don't worry, Matt... Shane will figure it out sooner or later just like the rest of us. Of course, it took me a while, so....

If I thought it would make any difference, I would. Generally speaking, though, I don't read their comments (tend to be very repetitive). I happened onto this thread by chance and the word Anglophobe caught my eye. Simple as that.

Good point. That's why I told Ms. Sel that talking to Rich is like talking to fence post. As far as the Anglophobe word goes. I didn't realize Thomas Jefferson came up with the word and in the heat of the battle I said "Britian" instead of "England."

You mean you haven't always been level headed? There may be hope for me after all.

Maybe Rich, just maybe.

There's an awful lot you don't realise, that's why we keep trying to get the message across, but "brainwashed" is a disease that needs prolonged treatment.

Acording to Matt's advise I'm suppose to be "giving it a rest" so get off of me.

...and, gentlemen, just to show that, contrary to the impression my previous comment gave (bad day, don't ask , apologies to all affected) I can be open to a good argument.

Please feel free to use the contents of either of the following as you see fit:

Both sides please note that the pages listed slur both countries, so no bias has been afforded to either participant.

At the sound of the bell, come out swinging (verbally).

Have patience, be sympathetic and calm with British rudeness

Ok...

"Distaste of the USA in North America "
1)

"I believe every American should be forced to commiserate with people from other countries while they are growing up. Only when I talked to people from outside my borders did I realize how insanely myopic the entire establishment of the US is. People here really can't seem to understand why the world gets mad at us. It is not evil that's the problem here I think, just incredible, earth-shattering, incalculable, painfully entrenched ignorance."

We'll keep battling against it despite the verbal abuse hurled at us from rude Americans


The USA is the world's most hated country and as a result of our closeness with the USA, the UK is caught up in the anti-USA finger-pointing. Our support of multiple Washington led unilateral moves has led to a widespread international dislike of the UK. We've supported the USA against the UN and against Europe and it has confused many how a once wise country is now following the lead of a seemingly short-sighted country. Nearly all political experts have issues concerning the foreign policy of the USA, across the world it is widely acknowledged that the UK is following the USAs lead economically and politically, especially militarily in recent years,

Are you feeling guilty ?

It was a snide response to the "hurled by Americans" comment...

I could be a little less vague about it, but that wouldn't be polite...what do think I am? British?

Not at all.

One of 'us' would have known that one full stop - or period, as I believe you ex-colonials refer to it - would have sufficed at the end of the first sentence. Three smacks of excess, don't you think?

 

[Bodisathva]

You're right, Matt. My apologies.

I was apparently too busy hurling insults, abusing women and children, conquering small countries, and imposing my moral views on the rest of the unsuspecting universe....muh, ha, hah, hah, hah....

It's always the same with global domination - the first thing to suffer is written grammar.

Important tip for the aspiring global/universal despot, thanks.

Or I could always just re-write the rules after I achieve control muh, hah, hah, hah, hah... (really need a sound file for that)

 

[Matt Greatorex]

In the interests of international harmony, perhaps both nations should join together in celebrating the importance of today.

I, for one, would welcome a day celebrating something of such personal importance to so many.

Who wouldn't love "Chocolate Day?" Well, other than my sister-in-law, who's allergic.

Are these 'candy day's officially backed by UN resolution? Because, as you know, Americans are loathe to do anything without full authorization from the UN.

And BTW, this:

Oh yes, it's all fun and games until someone splits an infinitive.
