Anti British American eh? I suppose you found the Enigma machine on U559 too

I'm not anit-british, I just don't care for most british people, they come off as very arrogant poeple to me( and I don't know why, for heavens sake you eat fish for breakfast). Once a world power, I have enjoyed your decline in that status greatly. It's kinda funny, Germany fought two world wars in the hopes to become the leading economic power in Europe, only to lose those wars and then become the leading economic power in Eroupe, granted mind you with the help of America. British-American aye?

The "I don't care for most British people, they come across as very arrogant" shall be ignored for the fatuous remark it was.

The irony of the quote above however, is I guess, completely lost on you

You enjoyed our decline as a great power greatly - priceless. You probably don't realise that what comes around goes around and what happened to (amongst others) the Romans, the Spanish, the British - is now happening to the USA. Just like us, you ceased making anything, your manufacturing got exported overseas, you are spending more than you earn in a vain attempt to keep hold of past glory, whilst your national debt is in the hands of the Chinese and others.....

And no, unlike you I take no pleasure in making that statement. For all their faults - and lets face it the British and Americans while in the role of World superpower - past and present - made mistakes. But they were/are preferable to a Nazi Germany, Napoleonic France, Communist Russia superpower etc.

Nah.....vain attempt aye? You make it sound like we have been around since 1200......We will always be a world power, not so in your case. Get angry if it helps you. Your era ended a long time ago. If it's true it's not fatuous, you should know better than that.

Sorry - you misunderstand. I am in no way angry with you; you come across as rather immature which is just sad.

BTW:

What on God's clean earth does "vain attempt aye?" mean?

What has the year 1200 got to do with the price of fish?

"we will always be a world power" - yes I can see why you think British people arrogant....

We could go back and forth all day.....since you think myself to be immature, I won't call you arrogant and quick to judge anymore. You yourself said vain attempt to hold on to past glory....wow a little messed up with your 6's and 7's? America has not been around for all that long, stay with my here brit.... so it's hard to say our place in world history, while it's clear that your history was built on the back's of others and not your own. You picked two fights that you could not win yourself and then asked America for help finish them for you, is that being arrogant or is that the truth?

Well its not been the best of days - my country dumped out of the World Cup (beaten easily by a, superior in all departments, Germany), but at least you have given me some (admittedly dark) comedy at the end of it.

BTW - I love the "You picked two fights that you could not win yourself and then asked America for help finish them for you" comment - spectacular.

As you say, we could go on back and forth, but I think I'd rather not on balance - have a nice life......

We should be making the most of the time we have left as British, and American people. According to Time magazine the USA will cease to be the country it was within the next 50 years. Britain has also changed beyond all recognition during the past 20 years, and not for the better. The New World Order is changing the way things are without any democratic mandate.

I love the competition and the nationalism for every country. Soccer is getting bigger and bigger everyday in America. 30 years ago very few people in the USA played soccer. Now in my generation almost every child plays soccer and many more continue to play throughout high school and college. I expect the US to get stronger and stronger each year as soccer gets more popular here.
