To All Americans

[Maximal]

Don't apologize Mishy. It got the same type of responses when I posted it last year.

People just don't understand that everybodies country has problems and Americans need to understand that just cause they spend more on thier military than anyone else doesn't make them right.

At least Canadians, Aussies and Brits can travel around the world and proudly display thier flags without worrying about being killed because of it.

Holy Crap Mishy, you really opened a can of worms there!

I feel sorry for you - you post a copy of a JOKE rant by someone else (John Cleese of Monty Python - who I seem to recall doing things to be controversial before - see Life of Brian: daft, funny movie with throwaway parody of a religious icon and memorable crucifixion scene due to excellent song. Result - over the top reaction from Christian groups/zealots/fundamentalists [delete as you see fit] which gave said film much more notoriety).

I couldn't even be bothered to read all of your post as it was far too long and over-intellectualised (mind you, I sound a bit smart-arsy myself) anyway.

Mind you, the replies from our U.S forum friends seemed a little 'fiery' to say the least, which in turn got me interested. Why Americans feel the need to justify themselves is anyones guess - your country is possibly the most respected and admired country in the world. Not only, as mentioned, have other countries based their constitution on yours, but almost all nations now copy, or are influenced greatly by your culture, products, media, celebrities.....(I could carry on ad infinitum). You are also the most powerful political, economic and military nation on the planet, so why feel the need to justify your actions when they can be carried out without any major repercussion.

Your destiny is in your own hands and still you feel persecuted!

I am not Yank - bashing here, well done to your civilisation for creating this situation from nothing within less than 300 years - WOW. You just have to understand that the English old-school especially have an bit of a chip on their shoulder about the decline of their Empire and the rise of yours.

Don't get angry at Mr Cleese. If you don't want to laugh with him, laugh at him for his English anal retentiveness (unless he was just trying to wind you up!).

Anyway, you should feel sorry for us Scottish folk, we have to live next door to them, and they've been pissing all over us for centuries!

And don't laugh at us, just because we all wear kilts and tartan tammies, have ginger hair and guzzle whisky while eating deep fried Mars bars in batter and chasing wild haggis through the bonny fields of heather. As William Wallace Gibson screamed in Braveheart - 'Freeeeedom!' (or was that a tampon advert?).

Please, oh people of the United States, chill the fuck out.

If not you could always invade Scotland for a change. It's gotten pretty boring round here for the past 300 years. No one has invaded us, no terrorist attacks (even the IRA didn't bother), no tsunami, hurricane, flood or anything worse than shitty drizzle. It's not that no-one dislikes us, it's just they couldn't give a monkeys, even god (I still love my country though).

So U.S, how would you like it if the whole world ignored you. then you'd really get pissed off!

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY, LET'S ALL LAUGH AT THE FUNNY JOKES!

haha, like I said, my reply was mostly to the replies, not to the joke itself which was overall kinda funny. (And knowing it's a monty python player who wrote it cast some really good light on it)
And I am pretty chill, I just felt they were picking the wrong points (such as the declaration) and making statments implying in some way that the government represents all of us. I love Brits who critize all American's for America's obscene quest for global domminance, when Britain is like the little kid in the passenger seat. (You guys invaded Iraq right along with us, and just like you guys, most of us didnt and still dont like the war) You guys need to realize that about 53% of America is on your guys side on the war, even though it should be higher. And a very large percentage of us hate the fact that American pop culture exist in America, let alone that it's destroying the cultures of many other nations. I'm personally made sad when I see a picture of a mcdonalds in Europe or Asia. I wish our curses on none of you.

Furry muff, Bunnyman.

Your reply has cheered me up a bit, but wouldn't you agree that this has now possibly become the most unfunny Jokes Thread in the history of Joke Threads.

In fact it's so unfunny - it's a JOKE!!

Nah, Will posted a joke once... that was pretty bad.

No one even gave him a symphathy "."
