"irregardless". Hm. I'm not sure, was it Sir Winston Churchill who said that the British and the Americans are two people divided by a common language? (or something along those lines).
I agree that too many Brits like to rest on their laurels, peoples still of a long-gone empire. However, too many Americans seem resentful of the fact that their predecessors supposedly fled an intolerable government to found a new country on the other side of the pond. The Brits like to point out that the new American settlers (of both North and South America) displaced and killed many of the people indigenous to that continent. However, it should be remembered that the English (as opposed to the Scots and the Welsh - for those contributors who seem to think that Britain = England) displaced and killed many of the Celtic peoples indigenous to the British Isles.
Maybe it's time we all just put the past behind us and realised that there are good and bad people in every country and that there are many differing views on any subject. I may agree with SASless on one point or disagree with him, but it will be because of what he says, not where he comes from.
