Hi! I'm an American, just married my husband who is a British citizen and I live in the UK. I love your country. I find the people here to be some of the nicest people I have ever met.

I don't understand some of the bashing I have seen in that thread really. I doubt all Americans feel that way though.

Looking through some of the Falklands threads in Breaking Alternative News I was shocked by the number of people apparently from the US that had strong views against the British and our Monarchy.

I thought we were very close countries in most ways including descent. The British in general have no problem at all with the US or its people. Despite Britain being part of the EU now I think most still class the US as our closest ally.

Are these views as common as they seem in the States?



No! They are not common in the States. Most Americans consider the UK as an Allie.

I disagree - i think a lot of (US) ATS members like the UK.

I may be wrong though?




Agreed. I think many here need to understand and remember this is ATS after all we get all kinds of people and all kinds of views. Many uneducated. I'm sure many who claim to be Americans are not. Also look at their locations many are blank they could be from anywhere.

That's your problem. Judging the US by the Media.


hell, most americans just think scotland is a part or england... and that anyone scottish is actualy irish.... it says it all really..


Imagine that....

Calling Americans out about generalizations while making one.
I wonder if that's simply because many Americans have not had that much interaction with Scotts or have learned the differences. We call ourselves Americans not focusing on which state we are from first. Except Texas of course.

ive never met an american thats ever actualy called me SCOTTISH, every time, guarenteed ... im classed as irish (unless ive already ranted to them the very simple difference between ireland and scotland)


I'm sorry but would you know the differences between an American from Iowa or Montana?

Lol, depends on where you are from really doesn't it. In Ireland, the general stereotype of British is Loud and a bit Arrogant..

Around Southern Europe its generally loud, disruptive & drunk.. but that obviously comes from a minority that go mental when they go on holidays. The French and German stereotypes are based on the old imperial stereotypes of Posh Brits lol.

Of course anyone who's cranium is evolved enough to be able to fathom other cultures without blanket generalizing them knows better

As far as I can gather, the Yank stereotype for you is "Posh, Laughable, Imperial Pussies who drink tea" but I could be wrong
