Give it a rest

Easy for you to say, you're not a "Yank".

By the way, that is a derogatory term you know.

If you want to stop "bashing" us, stop there.

It is not derogatory at all - it is short for yankee - you had a yankee army and it refers to people from the northeastern US, or New England, many of whom are the descendants of colonial English settlers in the region.
Mark Twain one of your most famous authors wrote a book called 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.'

And here is a song to prove it is a patriotic term for some

youtu.be...

Maybe if America would get their sh#t together and stop being such an international concern, then some of the flak would ease off. I personally have no quarrel with Americans. The American government, on the other hand, I have serious quarrel with. And so should you.


Im concerned about my own government too.. But I pretty much gurantee you that most Americans are not thinking about foriegn policy, or the NWO, but are more pressingly concerned with keeping a roof over their heads and food in their stomaches.. Just like us all.. We are indeed ALL in this together.. We are all up crap creak without a paddle... And I tell you something... This 2nd ammendment issue is THE tipping point for America and has the potential for a lot of blood and suffering... Do you want that for America?? Because if you do then you are as psychotic as our leaders.

A quick guide to English slang/terms of endearment for the peoples of the world:

Scotish.. Jock.. Sweaty sock
Welsh.. Taff.. Sheep shagger
Irish... Paddy.. Mick
Australian.. Aussie.. Twats (especially when they keep beating us at sport)
Americans.. Yanks.. Tommy tanks.. (coz it rhymes.. Clever hey?)
New Zealanders.. Kiwi's.. All Blacks
Chinese.. Chinks.. Spring links
French.. Cheese eating surrender monkeys
Germans.. Krauts.. Boxheads
Canadians.. Canadians (we dont have one for them)

And so on... And everyone of those has one for us too

No issue,the song is old one 1980.But it got huge again after 911.But it shows that if the SHTF no matter how devided we are we always come back togther in a crisis.That was all I directed you to.

The post was the truth as I see it.We can take a joke.But if the SHTF in the future.Everyone knows who the Free world will have to turn to.
