certainly sounds like a rant to me.

About America's foreign policy??

You know, jsm could have answered the fucking question and that would have been the end of it.

But no, contrary Mary had to wade in YET AGAIN throwing his insecure weight around. Oh my God!! Somebody who didn't waste four years at university like I did is able to think for themselves. We can't have that, can we? How unmeritocratic!

Yeah well, some of us were just fucking born with it darling and I'm one of them. I will NOT apologise for that and I will NOT be intimidated into acting like a thicko just to satisfy your inadequacy.

By the way, the thread should be reworded "Ask a Pampered, Middle-Class, Yet Ungratefully Self-Loathing American Who Hasn't Got Kids, a Mortgage, a Full Time Job or Any Other Responsibilities Beyond Turning Up To College Every Day to reflect those facts.

Now ban me, you fucking retarded arsehat.

This was such an interesting thread. Can we move on?

Yes, Chie has been removed from the board.

Fuck knows why I entertain his nonsense.

Do go on, people.

I presume it's because the American media, doesn't have to worry about offending people in Scotland and Wales. Unlike the London based media which has to appear to be represenative of the whole each nation of the UK.

Don't forget American's appear to have no knowledge of anywhere in the England other than London, so it's a wonder they don't say 'The Queen of London'.

This whole last couple of pages reminds me of when a teacher at my school held back an American student just to quickly tell him "I just want to say what you're doing in Afghanistan is wrong". FFS.

I can answer that one for you. She isn't The Queen everywhere nor is she the only Queen in the world. Therefore "The Queen" by itself is only acceptable in one of the countries in which she is the Monarch. I suppose if jsm were Canadian you'd have a point.

I've got quite a few American mates who simply don't know the difference between England, Britain and the UK which is odd when you consider how their own country is so rigidly set. I guess our Nations don't have an international identity in the same way American states do.

We're just as guilty - we say "America" to refer to a particular part of the three-part continent of America. US citizens don't have a monopoly on the demonym American; it's just used sans qualifier. Technically Canadians are Americans too, but don't tell them (my cousins included) I said that!

What's so strange about the Queen being head of a Commonwealth state?

The King was head of state in the Thirteen Colonies until the Yankees fought a war to depose him in 1776.

What I meant by Canadians being Americans is that they are inhabitants of the continent of America. Americans = Europeans = Asians.
