Brits, by nature, are fairly dry.
With American help. many are learning about humor

Excuse me? Monty Python, Faulty Towers, the Italian Job etc etc. We are far more funny than you! American humour is too obvious, too full on, too simple. Ours has a degree of dry sophistication...

you have the simpsons

No it's not. It's a shining beacon of hope. An amazing thing that our forefathers did when they broke from the rule of Kings. And an incredible thing that all the pioneers did taming the land.

Monty Python is a classic illustration of my point.

The Kings of England were already on the way out. Georgie was not a monarch in any real sense of the word. Parliament had more power than he did by 1776...

blah blah blah. We still made something very different from what went before. We preferred taking the ball and running with it to sitting around like Euro socialists.

I thought this might rank as one of the stupidest posts recently, and it does. But it can't hold a candle to this one by the same poster on the same thread.

Now I'm not sure whether this is brilliant trolling or simply indoctrinated pap being spewed from the mouth of a baby.

Britain, the most villified empire, actually blockaded West African ports with the sole purpose of cutting off slave trade and issued not so subtle letters to Brazil, stating that there would be "consequences" if they didn't cease and desist from slavery.

Yes I agree. I'm a Kiwi, and I like our multi-culturality, the attitude of people and how the Governments don't do too many damn fool things like they do overseas.

Most important was Constitution, not a franchise which was almost as limited as England's...

C'mon, GP. Did you really expect me to bite on your "lazy Eurocoms" statement?

Happy 4th, BTW.
