Quite often out here, there is this low-brow rejoinder to our friends in the UK, Canada and other english speaking US Territories....

You have no clue of american politics.

Or worse,

Why don't you keep your beak in your own business you limey bastard and stay out of our politics.


Now, (after a sorta rough beginning) they have been our NATO partner and close ally through thick and thin, for years and eons.

They are involved in the Libya situation, the Iraq situation and were involved the Afghanistan sitution   and on and on, us shipping back and forth to one another,  banking with each other, doing the on the road movies together......we each share a common vital interest globally, for many issues---

So why can't they involve theirselves in our politics and convey as a people their political takes and thoughts on America?

But from my own perspective it amazes me the trust you appear to have in your politicians. Now maybe your politicians are different from ours, but here most believe politicians are in it for themselves first and foremost, that being aye they will do something for the electorate, but they will make sure they get something out of it along the way, usually a further foothold on the political back.

As far as commenting on America and our politics well...its good to have freedom of speech isn't it.

Status: offline 		The other thing of course, is this is a public forum on an international website, where anyone may post if they wish regardless of their nationality or country of residence.

If Americans don't like foreigners commenting on their affairs, then it is simple, don't post threads on American politics, but you can't decry foreigners who question your politics themselves, for the reason could well be they don't understand so therefore they are asking instead of remaining in ignorance. But quite often from foreigners perspectives there are many an American that turn out not to understand either, so threads started educate all.

Ha, yes, nice touch, Ron. Other english speaking US territories eh. Fair play, it raised a chuckle where I am.

If there's any justice in this world we'll become your 49th state, and I for one am angling for this like a dog with a bone. You may have heard of me on the news sending mail after mail to David Cameron: "come on, they have waffles, crocodiles and Barry Manilow; you know this is the move to drag us into the 21st century".

Anyway, when I'm on this board I'm American. It's an American message board hosted by Americans so I enter a small part of the US when I come here, and as I've been here 5 years I've applied for and obtained cyber Yank citizenship.

Still working on the accent, though. I've mastered boiger and moider and that's about it.

On the OP, perhaps it goes back to your inception and the nationalism that was required to bring together a huge population, meaning any criticism of the United States, constructive or otherwise, is taken as "why do you hate us when we saved the world a million fuckin' times?"

Doesn't mean you can't have another, and we're up for grabs at the right price.

It's you or German ran Europe.

I quite the like the Germans, but overran with mullets and people who pronounce radio as wadio?! Perhaps the chickens are coming home to roost from our time of commendeering the world's possessions.

It's a dilemma.

Would you have us Tazzy?

Would we get through airport security?......

"Do you have a shoe bomb and/or a bomb shoved up your left nostril and one strapped to your cock?"....."errrrrr, no".

"Are you or have you ever been a member of the Nazi Government of Germany?"......"yes, but I was only the receptionist, blissfully unaware of the activities of the Einsatzgruppen".

"Are you a limey son of a bitch planning on overrunning our country by means of verbosity?"......"definitely, conquest through docility".

PS... But you will have to pay for your own damn health insurance!!

It's the land of milk, honey and plenty ain't it? - that's how it's been sold to us - everything's on the house!

Watch us though, we're sly fuckers, turn yer backs and we'll be plotting up with the Canadians and burning things.

Where on earth did you get this silly notion?


As for the OP, I have no problem with anyone stating their opinion... so long as they have no problem with me stating mine.

Im sorry, Alaska is our 49th state, we even have a 50th state, which means yours would be a higher number.

As to the rest... Complain all you wish about US politics. I happen to enjoy some of the comments by posters like Arpig.

Political diversity welcome!
