Hey there fellow Brit, I am Scottish and am therefore supposed to hate the English more than any other nationality. But it's ok I don't! \nI am fairly new to yahoo answers but have also noticed that most users are american but that is probably because there are many more americans than british. \nI really noticed this when i wanted to see who had been asking questions about big brother over the last few days and could only find people talking about an 'all stars' house. From what I gather- previous bb stars are going in to a house together across the pond. \nGood luck finding more Brits!\n:)

i think that our character is basically tolerant, humourous, religiously and democratically apathetic and yet, strangely, determined.  i think that if our status quo is threatened our innate ( as much as a hybrid race can have an innate character ) but well hidden belicosity emerges.  things that provoke us are political and religious extremism ( including that dumbass american evangelical christianity ), aggression of any sort by others and challenge to our common belief in freedom of speech.  we're alright really, doing fine.  some may hate us at the moment but we'll win them round .  i'm proud to be british.  proud to be english as much as that matters and, here's where i'll lose even some of my fellow english... proud to be european.

I would diagree that most non-US citizens do not like us. I agree that the ones that do not like us are the most vocal right now. We have a lot of work to do, but our policies haven't really changed in the last hundred years. \n\nAs far as my opinion on the government, I absolutely love it. There are many flaws with our current parties that control the government, but we can fix it once we decide that is really what we want to do.\n\nOur government has the most promise out of any government that I can see in the world today. I just look forward to the day that we live up to that potential.

Gosh...don't flatter yourself. We don't all, but I do! You guys seem so proper and classic and VERY friendly and easy going. You're not rude. And here everything is just drama, drama, drama...basically we just love your culture and style. And how is it that you and everyone else can use the word "English" and get away with it, but I get chewed out when I do.

you like us but you've devised a plan to kill us off with your big army? nice..... this site is about opinions, grow up with the good comes the bad. India and China???? i guess you don't have enough unwanted immigrants in Britain. you argument is weak, i've known tons of brits in my life and have nothing bad to say about any of them or their country. piss on you....

You gave us neighbours, we give you the royal family....\nSeriously, I think if you pushed to be a republic, you'd win many friends over here (me included). I don't think you have a great record with race relations - but hey, it's not like the UK is a multi-cultural heaven.\n7/10 - could try harder.

If you mean you would like to come to the UK, i wouldn't bother. Stay over there! We have Blair here, who's more Bush than Bush himself, so you probably wouldn't like it here anyway. Most of us living here don't. But if you'd like to engage in conversation about how crap both sides of the pond are, that'd be just grand! :)

I'm British, but I think Aussies are friendlier. Some British people can be rude and too private. Not to put my country down but I wish some people here were a little different.

I agree, I'm from the US, but I can see the problems starting across the pond.  We were a nation based on LEGAL immigration.  UK has always been a semi-homogeneous society.  It doesn't have to be lilly-white, but I can see that the openness of Euro countries is taking a toll on national identity

Ditch this special relationship claptrap, theres no nead for us ordinaries to be influenced by the political machinations of self-serving power-hungry nincompoops (sorry I just love using that word...).  I'm British and I have nothing but love for my septic bretheren.  They gave us Jazz, Elvis, Hendrix, WWII etc.  \n\nSeriously though, the real Americans I know are wonderful people, if a bit keen on everything and I really hope that someday they'll realise what a dreadful mistake they made in declaring independence from us. \n\nI love America too, but before I trade in Blighty for the New World, they've got to get rid of the death penalty, TV evalgelism, rubbish cars (and drive on the left), "We're No.1!", McDonalds and most importantly that pillock in the White House.

No country is completely tolerant, but the British make a conscious effort to be so, it is part of their heritage. Just try to bait them with some fool question here on YA and you will hardly get a peep out of them. I know, I've tried!

You Brits think that we spend any time worrying about what you think.  Whooped ya @ss one time, do it again! \n\nNo really, I would think that the common Brit would be smart enough to know that most everyone here is different.\n\nThru your question, you are implying that the entire population of your great country doesn't like the people of Argentina/ Bangladesh/ Columbia/ Denmark/ Ethiopia/ France/ Greece/ Holland/ Iraq/ Jamaica/ ...do I need to go on?  Does GB really hate the people of every nation on this planet?  Because that is who we are! \n\nLaGrange, Kentucky\nUSA\n\nP.S. Did you know Q Liz keeps here Thoroughbreds in LaGrange, KY\nLots of Ford four door dully trucks with horse trailers here. Clean air, sunshine and the smell of horse shit it the air....  Its a Brits paradise!

I think those who don't live in one of the countries within the UK should not keep saying that the UK is a country. I expect that those who actually live in a place would know whether it's a country or not. Anyway, in answer to your question, it's probably because they are American sites. Many Americans, as has been proven here, think that the UK is a country. As for the map thing. If you look on a map of Britain or the UK which is printed in one of the UK countries, you will find that it mentions each as a seperate country. Maybe maps made in America or wherever represent them as one.\nI am offended that stupid Americans(or wherever else you uneducated people are from) insist that MY COUNTRY is not a country. Why do you dumb people keep trying to tell English(and Scottish and Welsh) people that our country is not a country?

Great Briton is a proud, strong and sovereign nation that would prefer not to align itself too closely with the US.  This seems to bring about critisism from the left as well as its European neighbors.  We argue with Great Briton as much as anyone and that is healthy, because it shows the world that we are two different countries with two different agendas. The English know that we are here anytime they really need us.  That was true in 1939 when Nazi Germany was bombing London on a regular basis, and it is true today provided, when they need help, they ask for it.  They have been beside is in nearly every campaign since WWII and I'm quite sure they will continue to be amongst our strongest allies, along with Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada and Tawain.
