I really was "takin' the piss" as they say. Speaking of top ten things "...our", "...mme", ...re" should be some of the top ten reasons for being British: "colour", "programme", "centre" etc.
Such loverly looking words.

Jeez, insomnia is killing me - I gotta get some sleep.

hahaha..choke...wheeze....splutter.

Looks like the Americans are stirred up...phew, luckily they are all asleep and I can post.

I've been to America a couple of times and I like it, nice place, lots of space, people generally friendly and nice, I want to go again too!.

but....and seriously now.....The American people in general have an immature attitude, they are immature people...they are very "gung ho" people...for example:

Mr Large says..."hello Mr American, your full of shit"....Mr American says "Right, I'm gonna kick yo mother fvcking ass you punk ass biatch...WOOO YEAH! I'M PROUD TO BE AMERICAN - ONLY IN THE U.S OF A etc.." without thinking about the consequences and the fact that Mr Large is twice his size....in short, gung-ho, doesn't really think long term.

which is why in the past few years Americans kill more allies than enemies when at war, cos they like to storm in like its "their time to shine".....stupid!.immature!...there still there now, except all they are doing is killing innocent camera men etc...

and finally, what does the USA contribute to the world....

Global warming?...they cant build a car with an engine less than 8 litres, hmm, there's a pollutant for you....I hired a car when I was out there, 4.3 litre engine...why??...it was pathetic, the 1.4 litre car I had at the time would have left it for dust....

and many others, got to stop, work calls......overall, don't pride yourselves too much, you might self destruct.

Spot - The list of what America brings to the global community is huge, so I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about that other than to say we wouldn't be having this online discussion if it weren't for the internet (made in the USA). Also, it seems that whenever there is a crisis in another country, everyone calls for the U.S. to come in and take care of it. The U.S. does take a much more proactive stance now days, but your country might do the same if it was hit like we were on 9/11.

yeah spot, Im sorry but that one was pretty stupid. Even though there's a ton of bullshit the US govt perpetrates, America as a whole seems to contribute its share of good as well

I sure would love to see, as an experiment, what would happen is we pulled in all our tentacles, maybe holding on only to import/export if necessary.

I do believe that if we didnt import we'd be fucked...prices would go through the roof.

import/export is what it's all about though influx. it's the control over wealth that influences american and most if not all countries' foreign policy.

"much more proactive stance now days" erm ...
there's a whole thread here about how proactive american foreign policy has been in recent times.

just coz you're in iraq and afghanistan with ground troops these days doesn't mean you haven't been poking your noses in all over the world for good or bad for the last 50 years.
