mmm... while I understand a possibly animosity because of the whole "the US became independent from the UK in 1776..." and I understand things are different in the UK than in the US....

I dont think it's right for one nation to judge the other as a whole, or something that makes them proud, because things are differents over there. after all different countries, same planet.

and aren't the US and the UK allies?

I mean, I would think patriotism or not, Some people in England are proud to be where the Olympics are going to play out, so it wouldnt be fair they get picked on over that?

and while yes The US has a number of things that are not so good, (including the Few instances i seen of american rubbing off their independence on people's faces) they do have a lot of things to be proud off- the fact they *mostly* overcame their racism to the point of having a black president, their colleges, their international aid services....
so why Can't they feel proud of their country? I'm sure there must be Something in England english people are proud off, even if it's not loyalty to their monarch or prime minister (if that's the case- I seen both ways)


I dont know, I'm not american either, nor british, but i visited both countries plenty enough (5 year on england, 8 on the US) to find no need for competition at all, as both have good and bad thing.
