stop bashing emos,you hurt my feelings.

Britain was always under the threat of invasion, it came closer to falling than many of you realise.
Also while you were making General Von Klinkerhoffen Croissant and Th

Which, surprisingly, is more than the UK lost (military-wise).

Thats because America knows how to fight.
We value human life....unlike you barbarians in Europe.

And they were there for a much shorter time.

However those statistics might include the Pacific campaigns?

Yeah your guys didnt chase japanese down volcanos. You're welcome.

Also dumb as we were, we knew enough to start bombing on the axis before they could get in range instead of declaring war on them and letting them pwn until they could bomb our cities.  You might try that sometime.

Hmm it is true the bulletheads had a better time in occupied Europe than our guys do in Liberated Iraq. When American GIs sleep in Saddams palaces it means they have sleeping bags on the floor not that they use the pool while the prewar staff bakes pastries as usual.

Did i forget any other cliches? I'm kind of sick

They did win!

I live in US but i was born in Ukraine. And European people are way more friendly and full of life then americans. ITs a better life over here(financialy) but everything else kind of sucks. Not hating on US but thats why Europeans judge america so much. They have been in 2 huge wars in which almost all the countries except like Engalnd were under rule of other countries so they value their rights a lot more.

And even though England did get bombed to shit...  it never experience the oppression of being taken over...
Thats why Ukrainian people are the friendliest you will ever meet. Have been oppressed for the past 100-150 years. Teaches you quite a bit.

@Fokker
This thread is nonsense. I don't see why i can't add more nonsense without there being any sort of portal to another dimension .

@Ukie
Ah, that is a reasonable assumption.

@Decimus
o.O

actually Ukie the reason the USA is not as friendly is the fault of a guy named Dale Carnegie who wrote a book called "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and what it says is, if you find out what an American's name is, compliment him on how he looks, ask him what he does for fun, agree with him that it is interesting and cool and something you might try someday if you had the free time, and when he gets around to asking you about yourself, mention that you sell things--then you will sell a lot more than if you walk in and offer to sell things to him.
Eighty years later, we're suspicious of anybody who says "Hi!" too loudly

oh yeah and the whole home invasion/mass murder thing

Just see it as America is 300 years backwards of Europe, we had colonies 300 years ago for natural resourches and slaves, same goes for the US now, they have a colony called Iraq, wich they have for the natural resourches. They are not loved in Iraq anymore then the Euro's were loved in their colonies.

So its nothing more then that  the US is actually 300 years behind Europe and desperatly trying to catch up.

"Thats because America knows how to fight.

Says the man from the only country that succesfully committed a genocide and isn't ashamed of what it has done (idolising it in Western stories etc.)

The great colonisation is only from the 19th century, CrazyOne.

"Why are Continental Europeans so.... pretetious and ridiculous?"

I must agree with fokker. Americans come across the very same way..
But I'm going with a great historian on this matter, namely Stearns. He sees it as as a reaction on the post-cold war situation, among with tendencies like regionalism etc. When the "2nd world" fell apart in 1989, people in Europe (in other regions as well, though) didn't feel the need for a strong Western Unity anymore, while other regions (mostly in East Europe) sought a national identity. Both situations resulted in a renewed regionalism (Flanders in Belgium, Scotland and Wales in the UK, Catalonia in Spain etc).. He claims that "westernisation" is now considered "americanisation", and that people react to that..

And, since WWII, Europe has changed. In the chock of the first half of the century, so terrible atrocities had happened, that Europe sought for new paths to settle conflicts. The EU started to grow, and Europe now favours diplomacy and other means rather then brute force. I think a superficial comparison with Sparta and Athens is in place. Athens, diplomatic and peace-loving being Europe; Sparta, a military state being the USA; sharing the same culture..
