Why are Brits so nasty and negitive? | |

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. Quoting: ATOM 1219735 So, that means that I'm a sarcastic, cruel, bitter, under-educated, unsophisticated person. FML What an ignorant halfwit you are. I bet both your parents disowned you a long time ago, right? Learn to recognise humour, moran. |

Quoting: Gunnz, lots of GunnzBest to act as if they don't exist to begin with, no reaction to what they say in other words, always the best way to deal with those types, coz that's exactly what they are trying to get - a reaction. I was gonna make the point that Oz posters seem to hate Brits but thought better of it until this response. Am I the only one to spot the hatred that many Australian posters exude towards their English counterparts? That's cos we put them there ....If you go back far enough there is a Brit in their family tree lol Del Boy: All the things that we've ever got out of life have come from my intelligence and my foresight Rodney: Well, I'm glad somebody's owned up, ....He who dares wins Rodders ...eekerstard also |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 524821 But put it this way ... our press would have ripped apart Obama in seconds if he tried his scam on us.. (!!!!!! Only The Guardian sticks up for him and that's because they hate Bush. Our press have totally and loyally, royally failed us, every day since his name first appeared in public print, in neglecting to expose the colossal fraudulence of BHO. The Guardian is devoutly devoted to the Fabian cause: lying to the masses, for the "Greater Good" Betrayal out of loyalty to the victims posthumous "Best Interests". The biggest, most embarrassing Tool on the rag is Gary Yonge. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 932005 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 did some work for the government and works with a few Aussies. Probably some the nicest people I've ever met. Perhaps you just rub people the wrong way. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 64821819 United Kingdom 11/04/2014 08:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you ever served in the forces and at any time did you serve with along side the Brits ? Your mind seems to be very small, and limited as you have tried, to bait an argument and anger. All empires fall and personally I couldn't less about the US winning in the 1800's, you sound like that annoying little shit, that has swung one punch, at a bully & knocked him out, but still goes on about it every time you have a converstaion with someone. As for grudges, hell yeah I hold a grudge. if someone wrong's my family I will hunt them down, when the timing is right, the grudge will end. I have had situations where I have fallen out with some lads, had a punch up in the pub carpark, and then we went and had a pint latter. Simple saying really do on to others as other do on to you. The US helped us in WW2 but didn't save us, it was the US and USSR that saved the world, due to you both being the strongest economic powers at that time, also you may want to become aware that regardless of what you like to think, money is the only reason why your military is as capable as it is, its your Idividual units that make the difference, Green beret (off spin of Royal marines commando) Delta Force (off spin of SAS Navy seals (off spin of SBS) not saying they aren't competent and good at what they do, but learn your roots Before you start insulting people. Alot of those who thought for independance weren't native americans where do your ansestors come from ? I have mates in the states that I regualar speak too and I consider Family so behave yourself and go outside and see some daylight or tea doesn't seem to be the only thing thats sour here and, we do have fridges for our beer. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1239549 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 66682653 United Kingdom 01/05/2015 03:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I´ve been living in the UK for a few years years now. Well, what I can say is that most Brits I´ve met are bitter, miserable and racists. They hate their country but still belive they are better than the rest of the world for being born there. Their educational and cultural level is very low, one of the lowest in Europe according to recent studies. I belive that bad weather and bad food is mainly what makes them so sad. But also, and I think they share this with the US, it is their competitive and violent culture what makes them so unhappy. They are constantly comparing themselves and measure their personal value on how productive they are. They are also very self-contained when sober, this keeps them from enjoying life and makes them prone to alcoholism. They are in the middle of huge crisis of values as well and it is so sad to see them blame inmigration for that. The diversity in the UK is to me the only cultural wealth they have (introducing hooliganism in sports and bullying at school and work is not a cultural heritage to me). I´m hoping to leave this place before I become as sad as them. |
