I've been on hiatus for almost a year. The busy season at work has passed, so once again, I'm bored as hell almost all day. I stopped writing because I hate you. No. Seriously. At least it looks like some of the retards have moved on to other sites.
I've been enjoying reading the cute little diatribes against Americans. Seems the Limeys like to believe that the glimpse of American life they have experienced makes them educated experts on the suckiness of America and Americans. (By the way, we're called Americans because thats what the Brits called us even before the revolution.) Not that size means a damn thing, but our nation is big enough that geography plays a great part in our social diversity. You can't bunch Americans into one big pot based on some observed behavior. The Northwest, California, Southwest, Great Plains, Lakes Area, Texas, The South, New England, and The Burroughs are very much like different nations. In fact, most Americans have some kind of contempt for the other regions largely because of social differences. I had a friend in Texas (I'm from Washington) laugh at me once because I told him that, yes, it is true that "Up thear y'all say 'You Guys'" When you say Americans, you're talking about all us collectively, and you can't really do that.
I generally don't make collective assumptions about a nation of people. I realize that I know shittin' little about what the UK is like. I've seen, read, and heard about it. However, my filtered information and political vitriol are pretty petty credentials to make secure judgement. Jesus, Lord, you can't even make assumptions like that for nations like Iran. France, though....the French I think we can all do without.
I noticed today arguments about who did what in World War II. Now there's a fucking lame topic. It's pretty safe to say that all of the major nations involved in the war were essential for the outcome. Britain may have pounded the Luftwaffe, but they didn't have a large enough force to invade Europe. Remember the whole D-Day event? America was a pretty big factor in that beach landing. Russia was really important, because they made Hitler fight on split fronts. However, if there hadn't been a European Invasion on the western front, Hitler could very well have handled Russia. He had better equipment and better trained forces. I think at some point people would say, "You know, World War II was pretty damn fucked up, and I'm sure glad as hell that all the nations pitched in to stop Hitler. I may not like those [insert slang term], but it's a damn good thing they jumped in and kicked ass."
Another thing. A whole lot of Americans don't like George Bush. It's pretty likely that those that don't, hate him on a higher level than, say, the Germans or the English. Why? Because they don't only despise him, they have to obey the laws he puts into place. I think it's so fucking stupid how people from other nations put the burden of Bush on all Americans. For Christ's Sake, I didn't vote for him or Kerry.
And, Hey! Fellow Americans! Let's get this two party system the fuck outta here! I'm tired of watching these political football games where you're guranteed the biggest dorks on the team are going to be the leader of the nation. God, let's get our heads strait and figure out how to vote based on merit. The whole checks and balances thing shouldn't just apply to the branches of the government. It's about time someone took power away from those two mega-corporations that call themselves political parties. GO LIBERTARIANS, WOOO!
So, I did a bit of ranting. Here's the bottom line. I think Britain is a damn cool place, and I really want to go there someday. Fish and chips and vinegar, Guy Ritchie, Led Zepplin/Black Sabbath/The Stones, and the word 'Cunt'....what's not to like? My point is, I don't know enough about Britain to make some sweeping generalization about it, and I'm pretty sure the same applies to America. There's the same mix where ever you go. About 2/3 of the people suck, and the others are pretty cool.
Here's one thing that I think we can agree on. Preppys fucking suck. Let's get rid of em', howsabout? That's it. I'm done

Go ahead, generalise England as much as you want. It rains here ALL the time and everything is too expensive to buy.

"Let's get this two party system the fuck outta here!"
Our government inherently breeds a two party system. Just look at history to see what happens to a third party.

"Russia was really important, because they made Hitler fight on split fronts."
Just for the record the Russians didn't "make" Hitler do anything. They had a non-aggression treaty with him which they would have been happy to keep if he hadn't decided to take them on before he finished off the English. Remember our Russian "ally" didn't bother to even declare war on Japan till the US had already defeated them. The fucking Vietnamese were more help to us against the Japs than the Russians.
