How is your country a puppet of mine? We followed you into Iraq like obedient little lap dogs and Prime Minister Blair, in all of his glorious groveling scumbag nature, touted the line for your President W. Bush whenever he could.

I think you mean chimps -- bonobos are peaceful.
Modern humans are chimps.

Britannia tries all the time to be the best friend of Columbia Liberty and John Bull loves to follow Uncle Sam into any fight he gets into. Trust me OP, if you really were controlled by the UK, it would have been your boys not ours on the Falklands and you would be buying a lot more of our products.

That is absolutely and completely false my good man. You've been duped by a scam called the Redemption Movement.
Here's the history of it:

A "man crush" lead us to an illegal war that was not our idea? What on earth convinces you of this?
In fact I'd like you to expound on the larger points of your theory as well. Give me some examples of how my country controls the most powerful nation in the world. If the Crown has you by the short hairs, I want specifics, details.
Let's actually have this, debate it out in the open instead of you just making blanket accusations against the United Kingdom. Stop trolling and get to the meat of your argument.

I will well agree with you that Prime Minister Tony Blair was an idiot, a criminal and worse, but what benefit did fighting in Iraq really gain the United Kingdom at all?
I read through your posted thread, and I don't buy it for a number of reasons:
1: If the United States has always been part of the British Empire, why did we fight in 1812?
2: Why did the United States try to undermine Great Britain for a century after that, screwing with our colonies, forcing your way into China and building your Pacific colonies?
3: Why do you deny the validity all titles from the Crown while on your soil?
4: Why did it take you forever and a year to choose us over Germany in World War I?
5: Where were you when we were fighting in the Falkland Islands? Seriously, that's got Monroe Doctorine written all over it, and we're NATO!
6: Why don't you buy more of our products?
7: Where is your homage to the Queen? If you are part of the Commonwealth she is your queen too!
I don't buy it, if this were true our countries would have been far closer. You won't even post your own analysis of the claims made, you simply direct me to what others have said, so it's very hard to completely get your take on the matter.
The theories presented rely very heavily on supposition and scenarios that were dreamed up in the minds of the presenters, so I must seriously ask you:
Why are you not saying your take on the matter directly, what are you afraid of?
Finally as for the bit on manners and decorum, I'd go to bet that you haven't ever insulted the United Kingdom to a member of the aristocracy. Then you will see true English "manners" haha!
