    Re: about the British character
    I like to think that GB is like the older parent of the teenager that is the US.

    The US may have had a tantrum and ran away from home, full of ideals and desires for the future... but all he's essentially done is get some credit cards and spend far beyond his means, he's picked on lots of guys he shouldn't, and now the bailiff (China) is coming to collect.

    Mean whilst, Daddy GB looks across the Atlantic, tuts and goes back to watching the Antique Roadshow.

    i just watch the moives --Johnny English Reborn

    i realize some traits about british people~~

    i think the british is entertaining

    although they are old-fashioned (something remain me a old staff)

    and too cold(dont care something )

    but the strong point is they can tolerate something (even taunt the royalty family is ok in movies)) have an open mind

    anyone can share their views~~~~~
    I find it amusing that foreigners think that we all love the royal family - they can all hang for all I care (and good riddance, I'd say).

    America bashing is misguided and frankly very boring. We share an ancestral and cultural heritage with them, and we must look up to white America for standing up for white christian values.

    1. It was a joke.
    2. There have many, many good reasons to have a problem with the US of A.

    Although you being a BNPer, I doubt our view of what's important in the world is that similar :rolleyes:
