Resolved Question: Who are the most patriotic...?

6 February 2012, 7:12 am

British, Americans, Canadians or Australian I'm a Brit and I don't think that were patriotic at all... Americans and Australians on the other hand... Us Brits should be the most proud. We have the best history, we have free health care, we have a Queen and a royal family, we were open minded enough to have a female prime minister in the 80's (Margaret Thatcher) whilst so many other countries, even America, are still close minded about women, gay couples have been able to have civil partership in UK for years, not many places in America have that yet, London has a lot of amazing tourist attractions (Big Ben, London Bridge, House of Parliment, Tower of London, London eye, etc...), we have the best bands and singers (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, The Police, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Adele, Coldplay, Kate Bush, Radiohead, The Kinks, The Animals, Oasis, Muse, Mumford and Sons, Billy Idol, Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse, etc... etc... The Bee Gees are even British but because they lived in Australia, Australians try and claim them even though they were born and raised in UK and have English accents, it's like us claiming Kylie Minogue as British just cause she has lived here... also, most AC/DC members are English and Scottish but Australians claim them, also, the lead singer of INX is also English. We even have the best movies such as Harry Potter and The King's Speech. And we have the best accents (I don't think so but most people seem to), also, The Brits invented the Telephone, Television and the Internet. And our country is not even half the size of US, were only a small part of Europe. Other countries (ESPECIALLY Aussies, seem to be jealous of us). I don't blame them though. If I weren't British, I'd also be jealous. As a Brit, I do like Americans, not so much Australians though. I don't HATE them, they just p*ss me off a lof of the time. And it's also annoying how Americans emphaszie our English language , a lot of Brits I know get really f*cked off about that.... Read More »
