mxbx Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 That mug looks nice. Every result of a cup of coffee is an adventure for me, though. I probably shouldn't elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elTee Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 :oGod save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the Queen! O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, God save us all! Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen! Not in this land alone, But be God's mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world over. From every latent foe, From the assassins blow, God save the Queen! O'er her thine arm extend, For Britain's sake defend, Our mother, prince, and friend, God save the Queen!

manny_c444 Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Yeah you guys in the nice parts of Europe really shouldn't come here, I'd move to Switzerland or Slovenija or Austria or Sweden or even New Zealand (I know its not Europe) without much thought. But the UK (or whatever you guys want to be called) isn't exactly like the rest of europe, you see, its ugly--its packed with mean people, there are no mountains, seasonal changes are barely perceptable.....sorry in advance to 60% of the board that is from the UK.....But when it comes down to it America is actually nicer than the UK...it has mountains, it has rainforest it has desert it has everything. Why would I go to the UK and settle for a "I want to be American" culture when there's one right here in the USA? I mean the only thing worse than the UK is the Netherlands..........

BooJaka Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I don't really want to be an American, the majority of them seem loud and ignorant. I just want that mug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I'm going to have to try very hard not to sound racist here: The UK, like the rest of Europe has History. The USA has what, a civil war and a few World Wars? When were you last invaded? When was your monarch beheaded? You have bi-centennials? We had a 100 years war. Your history is boring too - DOTT managed to take the piss out of it quite well. America has mountains? Wow. America has forests? Shame your so intent on polluting the planet, or else a lot of other places would have too. Our culture is not "I want to be an American" - most people in the UK dislike americans, I'm one of the few who doesn't hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Now now, just because I live in The Netherlands its not all that bad... actually I'd prefer Switzerland anyday as well Slovenjia? Are you outta your mind?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 From what I've heard of The Neverlands, it seems fantastic. I should visit sometime! But anyway, to reply to manny_c444's post. Firstly, many area of England are beautiful. I live near Oxford, and although there are a few, er, "basic" buildings it's mostly full of old and marvelously built universities, museums and houses. Packed with mean people? I dunno about that. I've always thought the hospitality of the English was something to be proud of. And that's just England. If you're using the word "UK", I assume you're including Scotland, Wales & Northern Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I go to the UK and settle for a "I want to be American" culture when there's one right here in the USA? I mean the only thing worse than the UK is the4. Netherlands.......... 1. Yes, of course it is. Americans are so much nicer because they say 'Have a nice day now' after every conversation. I mean, the UK is just so ugly, look at the Lake District, the moors, the pennines. Okay, now look at New York. That's basically what you're saying. You're saying that London is the UK. 2. The UK has mountains. Brazil has the rainforests. You can't get the mug shipped to Brazil. And you thing Deserts are nice? They're a complete waste of land. 3. Hmm..Gee...I wonder where the Americans got most of their culture from....hmm....and there language too, what is it called? English, that's it. And I don't want to be an American. There's basically NO difference between America and the UK, except extremely small things that DON'T REALLY matter, and each country has it's positive and negative aspects. So stop being racist. 4. I wouldn't mind a holiday in the Netherlands. And I have nothing against america, just the stupid americans who think that they're the greatest because they're american.

mxbx Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 The patriotism here is pretty scarey these days. Patriotic militants aren't my idea of good people. (Yeah, I'm talking bout you, G.W.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxbx Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 But when I say "scarey," I almost always mean "scary." The post above is a good case in point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny_c444 Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 You can't understand the appeal of a desert until you've been to one. The complete lack of light pollution and the close proximity to absolutely nothing makes for a very amazing view at night. Yes I'm saying London is all of the UK and I stand by it. Mean British people=American bashers=99.9% of UK population And don't insult me by saying American culture is based of the UK's, America has no culture. Its really just an amalgamation of various cultures, and really Britain influence on the culture pretty much stopped at the Beatles. I think its time we conquer you fussy Brits.

Sure there places i like more than others and usa and UK isn´t really my favourites even if they are great countries that i really would like to visit sometime netherlands are nice accualy so i have no idea where you got that from =/ I would like to visit almost all countries they, all have something special to offer that no other countrie does! Even Usa and Uk But i dont like all the violence in some of the eastern-europe countries so thats some places i really don´t wanna visit becaus of the situations there. And now we just talk about Europe and USA but the contries i REALLY would enjoy visiting is Kina and some of the Asian countries they have much more hospitality than most of the european countries and have lots of history, nature, great cities and buldings to se! Well everyone have their own opinion and i belive everyone here like their own countrie the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Also: don't judge places you haven't been to. And: people who are brought up in a country usually become attatched to it. So: this whole thread is 100% stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raze it all to the ground! God Bless the Queen! Fussy? Nope, we have taste. And what are you basing these statistics on? 99.9% of the UK are mean, american bashers? Have you met everyone in the UK? Have you met 10,000 people from the UK, only one of which didn't mind Americans? And as for Britians influence on the culture - you speak our language. Enough said. FACT If the U.K. was a state in America, it would be the most intelligent state. If you don't believe that Americans are stupid, just take a look at the President, and try and think which country it was that voted him into power. And stay on the topic, idiot.
