Did we really ever win our freedom from England?

Question

It seems they fight with us, or we fight with them in almost every war. It seems that we are the only two countries that have a high rate of broken families and domestic issues. It seems that we are the only two countries that like to invade and impose our lifestyle upon other countries. And it also seems that there is a new obsession with the English in the media and everywhere else. On the internet, I swear you find them in a lot of workshops, or even policing forums for proper grammar. But in the media, you have them all over the place. American Idol's Simon, Who's Got Talent's, (well I forget his name, but he's the British meanie on the panel of judges), So you Think You Can Dance's (I forget his name too), h**l's Kitchen's Chef Ramsey, on Oprah Winfrey's show (The Big Give) (I forget his name, but he's also British, and he's on the panel of judges), and now even the Bachelor is from England, in The Bachelor (London Calling). What's with the new wave of British, English arrogance? Is America full of Masochists? Did we really win the revolutionary war?

Answer 1

I would be interested to know what grades you received in history.  The second world war which we fought with England was against a small country that invaded nearly all the European countries except England.  You must also not feel the Japanese did not invade other countries in WWII, but ther are a lot of east asia countries that would disagree with you. Apparently the Germans also liked to invade(did we invade France when we landed on D-day, I don't think the French would agree with you).  How about Russia.  After they freed the Eastern European countries in WWII they decided to keep them.  But I guess that doesn't count as invading.

When people copy the United States it is because they want what we have, we are not imposing our lifestyle on them any more than we are imposing our country on those who immigrate here.

Answer 2

honey u got ur history a bit mixed up...

lemeesseee..

england exported convicts to gud ol osteralia and they never said sorry to the people of the land since gud ol howies time... and thinking the aborigines will win a fight with a colony of convicts is a d**n hands down bet.

then they teach english to the northern irelandicans (same twaing as amereyccanss) and thus the ulster shooting party.

and we the son of god almighty drive on our roads differently  from the queen of england.

we can only be free from england if we appoint bush as the king of america or hilly hairy as queen........

god thats a ceremony worth waiting.........

psssst. .. pass me the beer

Answer 3

A lot of the customs remain, however yes we did gain our independence and freedom from the British Empire.

Answer 4

Answer 5

im confused you seem to have no evidence for your theory except brits you see on tv. not a very strong argument. also when you say they fight with us in wars do you mean with as in against us or with as in together? i assume you mean together as the us has an alliance with Britain and as we did originate at least partly from england we still share many common ideas and beliefs in our government and daily lifes. the internet is the same no matter where you are and since they speak the same language it makes sense that the most common "foreign" comments you would see are british. and as to your celebrity question accents sell and thats about it
