Re: Why are Brits so nasty and negitive?
I have to say it's where in the UK you go. Most visitors to our country go to the South, to London etc. I have to agree out capital city is full of miserable gits. Smile at someone and say hello and you are thought of as mad.
I live in the North, in a city that is widely though of as a dump. It is not very wealthy. But the people are friendly and usually helpful to each other.
Don't judge a book by its cover. :D

I occasionally visit london to go to the museums. I am from yorkshire. The Londeners are the most unfriendly group i have ever encountered. They dont make eye contact, they cant chat or have an off the cuff conversation. Very unpleasant.

Move out of london and its totally different.

Re: Why are Brits so nasty and negitive?
"British Humour", is an oxymoron.
 Quoting: Random

My friend, I dispute that, British humour has a long history, going back at least as far as '1066 and all that' it is based on 'Taking the piss' out of the ruling classes, via Court Jesters and travelling Minstrels...in fact Geoffrey Chauser was one. Modern examples are the like of Spike Milligan (a son of your own soil), John Cleese, and last but not least, Ricky Gevais.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1238510


So basically the English culture and People are a joke.. Its all a joke. I get it now.

Lived there for almost a decade and couldn't WAIT to get back.

This is what socialism does to a country. Makes people very jealous. Very hard to get them to compliment anything. Too busy tearing people down. Very much a 'tabloid' society. I see it happening to the US, too.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1239549



I actually agree totally with this......but not all brits are the same but the majority i have met, even friends and relatives are just has you described.

Not bashing just saying.

Has anyone else noticed that the nastiest, meanest, most negitive people on GLP are all from Britain?

No joke...and it is not just one or two it is many.

They are followed next by the Austrailians.

What is the source of this bitterness?

Getting their asses kicked by the US in the US Revolution?

Getting their asses kicked by the Nazis? (Saved by the US)

Is it the tea or the piss warm beer?

No joke...what the hell is with the Brits?

I see the problem here.

Tarring everyone with the same brush.

A bit like the mcarthy witch hunts.

IF you follow propaganda, ANY propaganda you start to loose discernment.

ALL chinese are bad
ALL brits are bad
All jews are bad

Sounds like a "hitlerism" to me.

I cant understand why, as an american you arent being a bit more discerning ?

I agree...the British and Australians are assholes and are not our friends. They wish us ill. I think part of their problem is they are not a player anymore. They have little importance in the world now...plus they act like fags. :) They even have to go on American web sites to spew their shit because they must not have any of their own.

Re: Why are Brits so nasty and negitive?
This is a tough one for me. My mom's American but my dad's English. So, to some degree I kind of see this issue from both sides. My American side tells me that the "Brits" are very sarcastic and cruel, especially when it comes to discussing Americans. They come across as almost bitter. My English side tells me that Americans are under-educated, unsophisticated people.

So, that means that I'm a sarcastic, cruel, bitter, under-educated, unsophisticated person.

I am SO sorry but your statement says so much.

You seem to be living in a dream world.America is NOT admired the world over but you still seem to think so.


America is what Britain WAS. Once a huge power Britain refused to acknowledge their lowering, harping on about the great empire.

The USA is now in the same state. Falling apart BUT the old guard just not able to see it.

Re: Why are Brits so nasty and negitive?
Large group of americans took the piss out of me in amsterdam pretty much for not being capitolist scum. You should've heard these idiots.... they think money is all there is in life and wh en i said my family was more important than business they looked completely confused.

I have every reason to spew hate against americans, considering all my encounters with are negative, but i tell myself it's your disturbingly corrupt government.... really I cut you lot too much slack.

Agreed - but I think that goes for any big city. There is a definite lack of the community spirit. BTW (off topic) my husband was born and bred in Thorpe - did his trade down in the pits. Hes a kiwi now - even supports the All Blacks (though his Yorkshire accent hasn't changed and hes been out of UK for 30yrs lol).

Hahaha! It's a funny old world that we live in, being judged by an American. The world is like that on a larger scale, America judges everyone, that will be it's down fall.

Going on about something that happened years ago that you had nothing to do with...you weren't there and neither was i! There were 8 Americans in the Battle of Britain, not exactly saving our arses. Also on D-day there were 5 landing beaches, 3 of them were not American. You sold us weapons...you got into the war just as Germany was beginning to fall to bits anyway. Canada, Australia, Poland and RUSSIA were our allies back then! America did very little. So shut the hell up! Go learn some history...your country is just over 300 years old. Britain is thousands of years old!
