no, that is not cool. we should push to DISTANCE ourselves from the americans, not be bloody owned by them. our language is becoming amercanised, with lots of "z"s (or as many brits now cal them "zees"). film and game publishers/devs can't be ****ed putting it into the ACTUAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE. there is no such thing as "american english"....when somone in a game, especially a british character, says "daiper" or some such WRONG word, the americans are one step closer to becoming our leaders.it sucks, because technically that is actually WRONG, there is no such word in the english language, if you know what i mean...especially the word "color", with lazy american spelling...it's the same with dates. many things now have the completely WRONG date, or a date which DOES NOT EXIST IN THE UK, by putting things like, using today as an example, 8/25/07. THERE ARE 12 MONTHS NOT 25! THIS IS AN AMERICAN DATE THEREFORE WRONG HERE.

and iniquitus beast, do you really think that putting mcdonald's restaurants into iraq will save the situation?

and also, i don't admire the bravery of the troops, they are just doing their job, like every other person. teachers aren't given hero status if they are killed. they know the risks, it's their choice to join the army. if they get killed, yes it's a shame, but oh well, they were doing a really dangerous job, they knew that it might happen. obviously i don't want them to get killed, but if they do, people should dtop pretending to be shocked and surprised. anyway, the troop deaths are nothing compared to iraqui CIVILLIAN casualties.

everyone should watch fahrenheit 9/11, that will show you exactly how illegal the war is.

I don't support any of this, im just going to germany if this escalates.

I don't even see why the UK is getting involved. Iraqs beef is with the US, so why the hell is UK getting involved? WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON EXCEPT A SLIGHT SIMULARITY IN LANGUAGE. Not to be a wimp or anything, but i would have thought Britain should keep themselves to themselves and just let these two countries sort themselves out, instead of making themselves a suicide bomb magnet. Im seriously p***ed of now, coz ever since we got involved, theres been NOTHING BUT SUICIDE BOMB ATTEMPTS IN LONDON. :mad: Luckily the bombs dont go off coz there so shitty. :o

i love bush. XD lol.

Don't joke like that asshole this is serious.:mad:

Its called Anglo-American. UK and US seem to be extreme allies. You don't like that, huh?

Oh well. This is why I'll never get in politics.

Nothing in common except for the fact the UK spawned the US. Thats like a father son kinda thing, except without the caring.

I disagree.

They think different then the United States. Changing how they think isn't fair. Aren't we there to help the people?

:rofl:
I'm so sorry, but I am seriously laughing my ass off at your ignorance. You obviously just listen to the biased news and can not think for yourself to make your own decision based off of research and common since.

Why do all UK people try to insult Americans with McDonald's? People in the US don't love it as much as you think. iniquitous beast was not talking about putting a "McDonald's" in Iraq. He was talking about Iraq building large industries that produce goods from natural resources in Iraq that can be traded with other countries to increase national revenue. This would help establish a solid economy in Iraq and allow people to have jobs resulting in less violence.

Seriously, how does insulting US English help prove your point at all:confused:. I am sure that US English has a little bit of influence on UK English. But if you knew anything about history you would know that all languages change over time to adapt to culture. If you talked to a person 100 years from now in the UK or the US they would probably have no idea what you would saying.

I have seen Fahrenheit 9/11 and I must say it is nothing but bias. Saying that war is illegal is stupid. There have been thousands of wars between all different kinds of people since the beginning of time. War is just part of human nature.

Terrorist Bombings in the UK have been going on a lot longer than the war in Iraq. You can't blame that on the US.

I dont blame the US. And I live in the UK. We had hardly any suicide bombings before all this started. Why would we? There was no-one who had a grudge. and even if we did get a suicide bomber, it would be one of our own insane people who were campaigning to save the whales or some sh*t. Now we get about 3-4 attempts a month, mostly at airports, BY IRAQIS. I'm just saying if the UK kept it nose out, we'd probably be alot safer over here.

so…
people actually believe a country is in ruin because it is not completely industrial/commercial?…
