Something I just don't get...

Postby Spiderbot01 » Sun Jul 23, 06 11:21 pm

Now Im not here to make the stereotypical comments on Americans you usually get. Theres just something I dont get...

Why is it, despite having skiing, great shopping places, some of the best theme parks in the world, and tons and tons of other great stuff... You still, thousands of you, come to England every year for a holiday? I honestly don't get it! Half the time Americans complain England sucks etc..

Its not so much of a rant as much as a question out sheer bewilderment :S

Because a lot of people are too lazy to / did not have the opportunity to learn another language, so they go to a country where they speak english.

The British Monarchy 'pwns?'

The monarchy needs to go.

Australia voted to keep it.

There is nothing wrong with a monarchy that does it's job, as the British one does. If it wasn't for the monarchy, we'd be stuck with one of the most evil bastard prime ministers in the world. He got sacked, by the Queen, and I love them for it.

I'm no Bush supporter, but I love America for it's land and for the things it has to offer, not for it's government ;)

I'm glad I don't live in NZ, I heard there were tough rugby men that might tackle me! :roll:

But really the Queen is just for show and the Defences.

We need to Queen to have a good friendship with Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth.

If it wasn't for the monarchy then Britain would lose out on millions in tourism profits. At the end of the day, the whole reason people visit Britain is to see the monarchy and stuff that relates to it (historical buildings, museums etc). People come to Britain for the culture. And obviously because you only have to be 18 to drink here too. So the whole family can get plastered in the ol' Queen's Arms. :wink:

If the Japanese didn't bomb Pearl Harbour you would've done fuck-all.

The Russians were a main reason we won WW2 because the Soviets surrounded Hitler's safehouse.

The RAF stopped major incidences happening.
