My whole life I paid 'homage to England'.  I thought they were good people, our allies.  I always thought good things about their country growing up and most of my adult life.  Then I lived there and saw the truth.

Answer 8

yes, end of story

Answer 9

well, yes and no, England didn't actually create america, only the original 13 colonies, the east coast . Spain had the west coast, France had the middle bit

but we did give them the language, although you wouldn't know it :P

Answer 10

uh, no

the usa did what we did after we declared independence from England

Answer 11

All that sort of chat leaves me cold, what is England, but a collection of people in a particular location?

Having said that I am quite pleased to have been born in Britain, or as some would say, am British, there are lots of worse places that chance could have chosen.

I even get a bit tetchy when I see what Americans can do to the English language-only joking.

As for the justice, I agree, and between us, US/UK, that is under attack as it never has been before, the constitution, which, I believe, is something for Americans to be proud of, has suffered some serious abuse over the last few years.

Answer 12

I'm sorry as well I was shooting from my hip

Answer 13

The USA should pay homage to Scotland for giving them all their best Presidents.

Answer 14

We did pay homage. We paid in lead.

Answer 15

i think yes, because if it wasnt for their tyranny, then the US wouldnt have become the US in the first place. there wouldnt have been reason for them to rebel and start a new nation.

Answer 16

The USA was created by people who opposed the oppressive government of England, fought for freedom and won. Our systems were devised to protect the citizens from the abuses committed by the English government.

If England is so great, why is southern Ireland more stable and prosperous than British-controlled northern Ireland?

The Spanish-influenced Mexican army attempted a war with the US. Their behinds were kicked back to Mexico City. No correlation to the American Revolution.

The USA owes no homage or anything else to England.
