Ok, so the yanks in the forum will probably switch at this topic but fuck it...
Is it just me, or is it great being English?
We're seen as the supreme race in the world...believe it or not...it's true. And if you don't believe it your probably american...and can't accept the fact that your not the best at something. you guys might have all the money and power...but at the end of the day...England is seen as the most intelligent nation in the world.
Now, I live and in a week will start to work in london...(those that know me will know that i have just finished serving 2 years in germany)...and pulling tourists and foreign birds has never been easier. Especially....I'm afraid to say it...american birds. American birds are probably the easiest to get with a using a little charm and a brit accent. It's great...I know for a fact the american guys in london don't get the same treatment...because at the end of the day...Not many (intelligent) english people these days like the americans, especially post 9/11.
Is it just me that finds this to be true or do you other brits have the same feeling.
We can also handle more than 2 cans of beer :P :P :P (carrying on from the hang over topic )

You still have bad teeth. Bitch.

LMFAO!
By the looks of this thread, you forgot to mention that the English are the most humble people too.

Don't you guys speak the Queen's English? That's prettty gay. Plus your ancestors couldn't win a war against the French and a bunch of American farmers, pathetic.

not to mention if it wasn't for America, England woulda been under Nazi control.
Supreme race??? my fuckin ass you're just another racist muthafucka like Cwalker. my point is there is no supreme race! haven't ya'll learned anything from history.

...and LMAO @ being proud of drinking 2 beers and not getting drunk like its the same thing as taking shots of straight 151 to the head or somethin'.
BTW, where is the evidence that the English are above any other race? You claim Americans have more wealth and power, but yet they're not the best at doing something......and then you speak about intellegence. I'm lost for words.

the english can drink most nationalities under the table, its our culture to get as drunk as we can as often as possible, so we get plenty of practice in.

Germany/Japan own your chump ass country you fool.
japanese thought they we're invincible pre ww2 because no 1 had sucessfully invaded for over 1000 years, well guess what no one has invaded britain in over 1000 years, how many other countries in this world can boast that?

Fuck the English that think like Sticky Toez there the reason that every country in the world dislikes England.
brits are pretty cool... but i know for a fact they cant handle their liquor...
And its the English that can't handle there booze. Watch your mouth before u say that about the Scottish and Irsih (i know they are not in Britain) were the best drinkers in the world
-
not sure about the supreme thing. i rate the avarage englisman over the avarage american though.
-
lmao at this thread.
just a few points
( 1 ) on the topic of england being great drinkers and even "drinking most nationalities under the table"
i hope and pray that the few that you aren't referring to are scots and irish. when you go to england and you ask for a pint, you get half a pint, you look round the pub and see everyone drinking half pints. this goes for london, birmingham, manchester and liverpool for a start before you say it is an isolted incident as i've seen it happen in all these places.
( 2 ) LMAO @ this clown on talking about having a good accent and be able to pull birds easier.
yes it is true, but the crown for that has to go to the Irish, i'm sorry but it's true. altho your statement was correct, you are acting like londoners and only londoners have it made because they have an accent. people all over the world go crazy for DIFFERENT or accents that they don't hear all the time. it ain't like sounding like a cockney gets women all over the world wet. they just get excited on hearing something a lil different from the norm.

are you smoking crack? if u goto any pub in england and ask for a pint U GET A PINT!! hardly anyone ever drinks halves because they are for panzies! the only times i ever get a half is if i'm driving and i've already had a couple of pints even though thats over limit anyways lol
oh and i wasn't specifically refering to english even tho i said i ment brits in general there isn't a huge different between us really but when we goto other countries or have foreigners over here its rare for someone to outdrink us

The appearance of German bombers in the skies over London during the afternoon of September 7, 1940 heralded a tactical shift in Hitler's attempt to subdue Great Britain. During the previous two months, the Luftwaffe had targeted RAF airfields and radar stations for destruction in preparation for the German invasion of the island. With invasion plans put on hold and eventually scrapped, Hitler turned his attention to destroying London in an attempt to demoralize the population and force the British to come to terms. At around 4:00 PM on that September day, 348 German bombers escorted by 617 fighters
Sept. 7, 1940 - the beginning of the London Blitz blasted London until 6:00 PM. Two hours later, guided by the fires set by the first assault, a second group of raiders commenced another attack that lasted until 4:30 the following morning.
This was the beginning of the Blitz - a period of intense bombing of London and other cities that continued until the following May. For the next consecutive 57 days, London was bombed either during the day or night. Fires consumed many portions of the city. Residents sought shelter wherever they could find it - many fleeing to the Underground stations that sheltered as many as 177,000 people during the night. In the worst single incident, 450 were killed when a bomb destroyed a school being used as an air raid shelter. Londoners and the world were introduced to a new weapon of terror and destruction in the arsenal of twentieth century warfare. The Blitz ended on May 11, 1941 when Hitler called off the raids in order to move his bombers east in preparation for Germany's invasion of Russia.

Fucking'ell i never knew there was so much built up hatred for each other.
(I grew up in Yorkshire for 18 years. Then lived in germany for 2, and now live and work in London...
And lol and thinking we've never won a war against france...hahaha. You guys forget that your history only lasts 400 years and most of your derive from The UK, spain, holland, germany and italy..and if not any of those...slaves. We treated America like Australia for a bit...sending all our criminals over there too...so quit bitching. Who else can say they ruled 1/3 of the world at one point in history...deffinately not America.
And I was meaning the UK for the drinking comment. remember i'm in the army and half my mates are scottish and yeah...they can drink. but still the UK's culture is to binge drink. I've been to a fair few countries to realise that no other country treats alcohol like we do. And i bet half you americans have never left your country or even your state...what's the stat....? only 10% of americans have passports?
God Save America...i love it how you allow someone like Bush to have power of your country......lol

-
London is good for the day out but couldn't stand it for too long. Lots of undesirables, and I like to feel like top boy. If I was from Wakefield/Hudders area and wanted to be where more happened I'd just move to Leeds. Ton of student fanny about and good shopping.

LOL atboasting u guys working for more of the year I'd much rather have my paid holidays, infact I just got a holiday cheque through today from a temping company which i've only work for about 8 days in the past 6 months pretty good huh?
-
LOL haha is this the mentality of people now that they have to be defensive everytime they proclaim they love being english and that they love this country. Screw that I dont make any apologies for being proud to be english, its a part of me and always will be wherever I go. Haha this is so pathetic and wimpy when someone has to say i am not a racist but i love being english, or even in the case of a woman i work with, she said jobs shouldnt be going to E.U workers but to english workers and then she follows that by saying that sounds awful saying that doesnt it. I can't believe people have been manipulated into having to apologise for their every statement.
-
Being proud of being English is great. It's fine. He's claiming that the English are superior to every other race. That's where it all went wrong.

Yeah but people who start talking about superior races are just morons, im just saying why should others be almost apologetic in their stance just because of some morons

It's funny how the OP says (not racist) in the title, then says something racist in his post. It's kind of like how people will say things like "I don't mean to be racist, but (says something racist)".

we take turns. Someone like Carter, then we'll have Reagan, then Bush 1 to show we liked Reagan, but when we realize we don't like him, we start the cycle over and elect Clinton, before going to Bush 2 because his opposite, and after him we'll more than likely elect another liberal.

Found this on a website, which had a few valid points.....DSA = Divided States Of America = The USA :-[
~ Why The Earth Hates The Divided States
# Naive: America does not know that it is hated
# History of war:
* Nagasaki & Hiroshima
* Biological Weapons
* The Land Mine Treaty
* The Arms Trade
# Oil, Bush, Kyoto
# Short term strategies & long term suffering
# Heavy handed commercial aggression
# Patriotism & Self Righteousness
# World War 2: America is self glorifying
# Obesity
# UN criticism of the Divided States' Children's Rights
# Rape and violent crime statistics - the highest in the modern world?
# Foreign Aid: DSA is stingiest of the 22 most developed countries
# Support of obnoxious/dictatorial regimes
# International discord and contempt of the UN
It seems that many American's do not realize that they have long ago surpassed the UK and other colonial countries as the most hated country. At present Afghanistan has gained many critics, but I feel that this is a temporary reaction to current events.
In the aftershock, it has came to the attention of the Americans themselves that anti-American hatred exists and is rife throughout the world. You would not expect the media, at other times, to report or summarize the reasons as I have done here. But, I would not be shocked as I have seen it myself, to see an article in British newspapers summarizing our own historical atrocities and current pressures we are under.
~ Brits Top Poll - [they've had the best music for five decades now...]
POLLSTERS RECKON that there’s no better "brand" than Britain when it comes to being a country.
Aside from evaluating the countries in terms of investment or culture, respondents were also asked to assess the inhabitants of the various countries. According to this assessment, UK citizens are considered to be the most polite and best educated, while the Americans are the most ignorant.
Here’s the top nine:
1. UK
2. Switzerland
3. Canada
4. Italy
5. Sweden
6. Germany
7. Japan
8. France
9. Australia
Oh and this is totally off subject, does anyone here use Linux??? if so, read this
~ RIAA Says Backups Are Now Illegal
Brought to our attention by one of our forumites, OneSeventeen,
it appears that in recent court documents the RIAA has stated that backups, particularly those involving format changes, should be considered illegal in the DMCA.
This stance directly contradicts their statement in the RIAA v. Grokster case, where their attorney said that "The record companies, my clients, have said, for some time now, and it's been on their website for some time now, that it's perfectly lawful to take a CD that you've purchased, upload it onto your computer, put it onto your iPod."
Apparently, the rules have now changed. In their recent joint filing with the MPAA (as well as other smaller monop...er, groups) the organization has done a 180, stating that "submissions [of legal arguments to the court] provide no arguments or legal authority that making back up copies of CDs is a non-infringing use". The document goes on to say "Even if CDs become damaged, replacements are available for an affordable price," and "granting the requested exemption [for back up copies] would further weaken the industry's ability to protect its copyrights..."
Don't think it just stops there, folks. On Page 35 of the document, the MPAA chimes in about DVD Jon's activities for Linux:
"The balancing of incremental benefits of allowing circumvention for the purposes of watching a movie on a Linux based computer is outweighed by the threat of increased piracy..."
Oh, and let's not forget:
"...the philosophy behind the Linux platform is inconsistent with protecting copyrighted works, this is no way the fault of the copyright owners."
In fact, the whole thing can be surmised by this lovely middle-finger-to-the people:
"There is certainly no legal requirement that copyright holders make digital work accessible by way of every device the user may choose to utilize. The ability of copyright owners to tie the use of a work to a particular device is 'use facilitating.'"
Wow. Thanks for making our lives more convenient. We love you too, RIAA and MPAA! Hugs all around!
Of course, the RIAA doesn't decide the law, courts do that. It's worrying, however, that an industry with such huge political lobbying power can just do a total U-turn on its previous consumer position.

It seems that many American's do not realize that they have long ago surpassed the UK and other colonial countries as the most hated country. At present Afghanistan has gained many critics, but I feel that this is a temporary reaction to current events.
Your an idiot if you think Americans don't know that.

As hated as Americans are, you sure do love our impact on culture.

Ok, so the yanks in the forum will probably switch at this topic but fuck it...
Is it just me, or is it great being English?
We're seen as the supreme race in the world...believe it or not...it's true. And if you don't believe it your probably american...and can't accept the fact that your not the best at something. you guys might have all the money and power...but at the end of the day...England is seen as the most intelligent nation in the world.
Now, I live and in a week will start to work in london...(those that know me will know that i have just finished serving 2 years in germany)...and pulling tourists and foreign birds has never been easier. Especially....I'm afraid to say it...american birds. American birds are probably the easiest to get with a using a little charm and a brit accent. It's great...I know for a fact the american guys in london don't get the same treatment...because at the end of the day...Not many (intelligent) english people these days like the americans, especially post 9/11.
Is it just me that finds this to be true or do you other brits have the same feeling.
We can also handle more than 2 cans of beer :P :P :P (carrying on from the hang over topic )
I got love for my homies over in queens park.but you wack..... america run england,africa hates yalls guts...hell, like the rest of the world to.

Beer btw is real ale & what u call beer is lager (the weaker more poofey, gassy, tasteless, makes u always need a pee beverage)
unless seer has a point...bottles are sold in all ocuntries and you dont buy a pint bottle of beer (lager) ... and ive seen some pubs round here serve in plastic pint glasses if big sports matches are on (esp football n rugby)
