Re: Notice To Citizens Of The Usa

This is one of those things that persistently cycles through various forums on the interwang. It's funny, and please don't take it seriously, because it is crazy.

Read the Indictment section, in which the grievances against the crown are enumerated. Notice how we could make most of the same complaints against today's Federal Government? What did we gain? We just exchanged one master for another.

Re: Notice To Citizens Of The Usa

Christ, ScratchMonkey, I hardly feel that's the subject of the thread.

While I do find it funny, a larger part of me considers it to be condescending US bashing. Maybe Americans should write something similar regarding Great Britain. Though I am sure, coming from us, it would be seen to be hostile and lame.

Wow guys...it has nothing to do with politics or governments or anything of that nature. It was just something that I found funny and wanted to share it with everyone.

10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call 'French fries' are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat.


Dirtboy for Prime Minister in 2008!! I'll make you king of America !!! Finally someone who remembers.
Oh damn- Dirtboy I forgot that seat is taken by the fourth branch D.Cheney .

Real good laugh, the whole way through it.

**Football: he does have a point, if you only touch the ball with your foot once every half an hour, why call it foot-ball? It should be called something like "testosteroned men pushing their trained bodies against each other". Sounds kind of gay now doesn't it - much more appealing!µ

***Oh Fenix I wouldn't equate the UK with the EU since we are barely on speaking terms as the Brits just want to boycott the EU at every possible turn.

Re: Notice To Citizens Of The Usa

Good read, Dirtboy. Got me to crack up all the way through. I, for one, totally understand British humor and think all of our little differences are quite comical.

w00t!

And for the record I would LOVE to see a version of this for the British. Heh, even a Scottish version. A little part of me finds it even more funny that people can be offended by something like this. They are just jumping into another stereotype of Americans which is senseless-patriotism.

I think this is awesome:

Let me ask you this, is there any such thing as "sensefull" patriotism? Or is senseless the only variety you are familiar with?

There's patriotism and then there is senseless-patriotism. I'm proud to be Scottish but I can take a joke. *SOME* people (Scots included, I'm sure) feel that any dig at their country is some kind of bitter attack when it is in reality simply observational humour.

Scottish stereotype is a backwards ginger guy with a kilt and spear, English stereotype is a posh toff, American stereotype is a overly patriotic guy.
