I feel there is a lot of anti British feeling amongst Americans on here?

Americans are afraid of foreigners in general, so don't take it personally. People who look differently, speak differently, or don't do things they way they do in the US are to be scorned and shunned. If you can, it's best to ignore us.

Yes there is, the special relationship, that some would have us believe is not a reality, ( Americas relationship with Germany, is far closer !, a fact ,that is less than a good idea, in most of Europes opinion,), but the reason that the relationship is soured, is the simple fact that America is too often unfair to it's foremost ally, and crows just a little too much about it's much vaunted superiority, on just about any subject under the Sun, this results in a backlash against them and is a vicious circle, feeding on itself, Lets look at the unfairness, to start with, 1 Americans, until recently, were allowed to come here, and work, without hindrance or permits, the same was not allowed in return, ( even though most of us would like to work in their country for a while, not stay permanently ) 2 You are allowed, by act of Parliament to demand, extradition of our subjects, ( we are not citizens , here, but subjects of the Crown) but have yet to ratify the same law in return, congress has sat on this legislation for more than two years, you , as a consequence have extended your laws to our sovereign nation, a form of "cultural colonialism"....even to the extent of so called crimes that we do not even recognise as crimes, ( see the recent Banking cases, ), forcing the accused to submit to "plea bargaining" or risk long jail sentences, if thay can not defend themselves, against an "assumed guilty, if we say so" situation, again when the British populations public prosecutors do not offer any evidence to proceed on the basis of..this is a form of "extra territoriality", you are assuming the right that properly belongs to the people of another nation to decide whether a crime has been committed...within their own country... 3 You also constantly go on about having defeated the British, in the war of independence, "you" did not "exist" as a nation, until after this war, so how does this work, ? the people whom fought this war were NOT Americans, but by the British settlers, , and settlers, from all nations, the British army was filled with the people who could not get work in this island nation, mostly young inexperienced, (under sixteen in many cases, ), kids, a long way from their homes and family, and it was a lie that you were being taxed by us without representation, as well, there were American representatives in Parliament, and the tax was to pay for the upkeep of this army, to defend your settlements, at a time when you were facing annihilation by the Amerind people, of your nation, ( it was also one that was not onerous , and was suggested, and agreed, by the representatives of your "nation to be", we were also fighting the war against an extreme arrogant Corsican, in Europe, just when a reporter,( a failed reporter, lied to people about this situation, what is new about this in America I wonder ?, ) the majority were against the independence movement, in the beginning, as well, so how does that square with the oft quoted "struggle for freedom" you claim to have been involved in ? 4 You do not understand the meaning of irony, at all, this is evident from much of what is represented to be so in the States, truly, you do not....the "British" actually "won" this war, not the Americans, that is truly ironic...... 5 The final ignominy that you face is the fact, that as a nation you feel the need to claim all, for yourselves, whether as a nation in science, ( an American, said once, that there was nothing that any one could say about science, that the Americans did not already know about, we had no secrets that were not known about, by them (the US.)) that ranks with your patemt office, back in the 1800 saying that just about everything had been discovered, and there was no more need for a patent office, ( "the head of the patent office"), or when an American, visiting Cambridge said, on seeing the equipment in the corridors, that had been used to secure a British Nobel prize, that it was nice to keep this, so the students were aware of what the old timers used to work with, ( it later went on to be used to secure two more Nobel prizes, as it was still in daily use !!!) or in any other areas.... 6 And most important, you do not seem to be able to understand, that criticism of what you do, is not criticism of what you are !!! Often, you seem to be intent, on what you want to do TO the world, and not what you can do FOR the world, something that distinguishes "you" from all the "Empires" that proceed you, patronising they may be, but all previous Empires seemed to believe that they were doing something that benefitted the world, and were a change for the better....you do not care, at all about that in the least, ( see G.W.Bush, "we do not do nation building" speech), therefore you will be criticised, ( rightly so, in my opinion, ), but you also have a vile hollywood attitude to the British in the movies, where the villians are always seemingly always played, by the British, or as British, i.e. Die Hard, 1,2 and 3... the Silence of the Lambs, etc... If you want peace in your lives, then do not criticise others, wrongly, or represent your history as other than the invasion of a continent that was stolen from the native populations, and it will not be returned....far from the honourable history, there is much here, that America should tread softly about, when talking TO the world, and not AT the world.!!! Stop your bias, and tell the truth, and you will have respect, and peace, until you do, do not expect the world to love you, or for your way of life to survive, after you have passed, there are few who will call for archeologists, social, cultural, or otherwise, to recall for the world, the American way of life, in the future that surely awaits all Empires.... So YES there is an anti British bias, on this website, but something else is lacking here, the "stating" of the country of origin of messages, that would help if we knew , at least, the person who we were talking to was an American or of British, or French, etc, origin...it should be diasplayed by the site itself, and we may find that the bias is not merely, or even entirely, that of the Americans,being anti British, and that can only help to ameliorate the situation, surely ?

Could the same be said the other way round? Are us British always so polite?

This is America. We're afraid of everything. That's why we still have guns.

Hate to tell you but that won't make any sense even to Americans that have lived in the UK for years. Ref the program, which one for a kick off?

British are awsome, if anything it's a response to an even bigger anti-american feeling around the world, but that will change as soon as our idiot leaves office...

I think that is ironic because these two nations are both equally disgraceful.

yes ..you could be right ..and we do have royals ..great isn't it mm mm as if but it works both ways

I think there is a lot of Anti-American on here,
