Interesting poll from "The Guardian."

poll (http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12956,1087545,00.html)

Now I don't think anyone could call "The Guardian" a pro-Bush or pro-America publication. It constantly shows Bush as a chimp in Steve Bell's cartoons, and its editorials tend to paint the US with a rather broad brush (i.e. Americans drive SUVs because they resemble military veichles. This shows how violent minded America is...)

What says people on here?:)

I don't think American's are so bad. We are friendly, cheerful, and if you annoy us, we will take over your country to relieve you of that horrible tyranny that causes you such great suffering. :-)

Actually, I don't think the US is all that bad. Our government definitely needs some work, but then again, whose government doesn't.

America would be perfect but for Virginia. (http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29660)

As I have never been to any version of Virginia, I will have to withhold comment. :D

Very accurate poll I'd say... I wonder what the results would have been had it included all of the EU, though....

Is this an appreciation thread ?:D

No, not at all.

I was just surprised by the results. Considering what I read in "The Guaridan" itself.

The Brits are really our friends. They only hate us for our better overall Dental Health, compulsive daily bathing and indoor plumbing. And we get 3,478 T.V. Channels with little or no content. :D

As your dental health system seems, according to posts on these forums, to revolve around having your jaw broken and reset in order that fiendish dentists can remove the contents of your wallets, then no we don't envy you for that. We not only have indoor plumbing but permanent outdoor running water as well. As regards the TV channels I'm not sure, we probably only have several hundred channels consisting mainly of blondes with nice cleavages.
