There was no "I don't judge people based solely on which bit of land they were born/raised on or country of residence (except the Irish)" option:confused:

HF messed the poll up...I thought that it would read "10 - Love the Yanks!!!, 1 - Kill the Yankees slowly and painfully :D"

You make a good point...I've heard that America has a bad world image...

well, as a yankee, let me say, i have see a fair number of my "fellow" yankees act like assholes and big babies overseas; more so then people from other nations.
it makes me feel so goddamn ashame, to be from the u.s.a. and, when, i see, another american act as an 'ugly american' in other's nations!


maybe i'm wrong but, to me, you just don't walk into someone's home and, drop your pants and, piss and shit on their carpeting!

well, anyhow, i voted a 5. not all us yanks are assholes.... we do have a fair amount of them though.

[silverhippy]

Assholes live everywhere. There will always be someone who hates another, it's just plain human nature. Just like Assholes, everyone has one.

You're right, I'm sorry. I shall stop all manner of lighthearted banter and references to past such banter immediately

Really Fingermouse. It simply goes without saying that everybody hates the Irish:rolleyes:

[silverhippy]

Heyyyy, my grandparents were Irish, you better stop it :mad:

My mum herself is Irish. Both sides of my family are Irish. I can get 'em to beat you up. :p

Could you imagine living in a country during the time of Adolf Hitler and being bombed by that idiot's military? The two older people in my sig pic are English and were alive in Hitler's time. I would respect any country for just having to go through that insanity. Fortunatly America has never had war on her shores in modern times so I don't think that we can really hate the English. Eh-hem.

You forgot the most important bit. The English drink from tiny teacups with their pinkies in the air.

[IANABIAP]

I love the English. Spice Girls, As Time Goes By, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Coupling...the English rule man lolol.

[junglejack]

I think unless you are at least part native American we are all some kind of hyphenated yank- - -ir...irish american, Italian american, latin american, --no-one is just a yank - we are all pretty much muts
Which makes this country so ....interesting??? NO -- Fucked up??? ...maybe
different- yes ,for sure

oh, have i got a story for you inabiap.
i was at a restaurant, in london, about 25 years ago. there was another american a few tables away from me. he was drunk and, he went on a rant about, how, "if it had not been for us yanks pulling your lazy tea drinking limey asses, out of the fire during both world war, were would you be today?"
the brits are a people that, are kind to a fault! they just let him rant himself out.
i, as an american, felt so goddamn ashamed for that idiots behavior that, i wanted to slide under the table and, find a hole, bury myself and die!
i did however, go over and apologize to those people for that jackasses behavior.
they were gratuitous to me and, understanding of my "fellow" american being a drunken fool and, not representative of us yankees as a whole.

it is assholes like that guy and, the bully actions of our government, that give us yanks our bad name around the world.

LOL. The Americans who say that have never had their empire attacked like the British were being attacked at that time (I think.) Those Americans should experience their empire being attacked worldwide before they mock anyone elses weakness.

Not that I embrace colonialism:cool:...the English are just GREAT to me:D:D. GREAT Britian is right I think:blush5:...

[silverhippy]

Yay for the Brits.... Wait, has anyone seen JOhn ???? He ows me money !!!! He tried to give me a cow instead, but I was to smart for that old Brit gag..

J0hn isn't gone is he? :( I remember him.

[kk_bonGo]

I honestly didn't know till now that people from other countries called Americans yankees. That's a term some of us southern Americans use for people from up north, haha.

Yes he's gone, I think Lithium killed him cause he smelled bad, I'm not sure, I just want my money back :mad:

6. There's more good than bad, but only just. If you'd have asked me during the reign of Bush, the number may have been (very slightly) lower.
