very strangely, on the radio today i heard an argument between britain and america people. it was about anti-americanism.
the british woman was saying how ignorant and loud the americans were, and the american was saying how dumb the british were.
a guy called the radio station and joined in, tho he sided with BOTH the british and the americans. i felt like applauding him. for while the british woman was acusing the americans of starting wars he pointed out we too had our fair share.
she said americans say they single handedly won ww2, he pointed out without the americans to help, althought we had did a great job of holding them off, we couldnt of pushed them back.
the america went on to say how we british were stupid not to have a gun law, the middleman pointed out we DO, a law banning them. we are not a big country and guns would cause more of a problem then help because we have not had the need to use them. basically saying its too late to introduce them now, we are used to our law.
the american pointed out we dont know our naitonal anthem or our pledge to our country. the middleman said no but we DO know the american capital as well as our own.
this went on for ages, untill finally both the anti-american and anti-brit couldnt think of something the middleman had a good response to.
we have our differences, as do all countries. there will be anti-americanism in britain, just as their is anti-britishism in america, as there is probably between american and germany, and germany and britain. etc etc
i for example, have met many more fat americans then british, however ive met many more arrogant rude british people then american!
every country has their faults, but its not good to pick on them and keep picking till it causes another war. we should be greatful for our countries and the countries we call friends.
they advertised this website on the radio
America and the World » Your Resource to the World » The latest in online textbooks, a multimedia presentation of 20th century world history and American foreign policy.
it was from the middleman, he wants to STOP anti-americanism. and i agree. why war with our friends. theres enough fighting going on in the world!
the americans i have met, and love (im marrying one for christ sake) have all become extremely dear friends that i would do anything for, and i know they feel the same way back. this forum is a great example of the friendship between our countries. it doesnt have a big banner on it saying "europeans only"
we are all human, and we should stick together!
