Wow! That is one dumb blond liberal. She needs to go away, and not come back.

Talk about an ungrateful bi__h! Why don’t she stay over in Spain? Maybe she can become a bullfighter. She seems to know how to sling the bullSh__ around. What a jerk. She is partially right though, only in American can you insult the populace and have them vote for you as president or go see your stupid movies.

This capitalist society made her filthy rich, yet she criticizes it. If she really hates capitalism so much, why doesn’t she give away all of her earnings to the lower classes?

Although I have never been to Britain, I think she is right. My experience of Americans ( and I am one) is that of a society filled with hubris. Most Americans feel that they deserve the best simply because they are Americans and arent willing to do the work or make the sacrifices. For example, most Americans believe that they have a right to cheap energy. They complain quite loudly when fuel prices go up and stretches their wallet. Why do you have any more right to cheap energy than any other nation? Because you were born in America?

The now defunct British Empire is ultimately responsible for most of the wars occurring in the world today. The empire was global in scope and and the British strategy of domination was almost always to “divide and rule,” pitting faith vs faith, tribe vs. tribe, race vs. race, class vs. class. When Great Britain was bankrupt at the end of WWII, they began the exit from empire and blood-baths ensued among these groups all over Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Moreover, the British committed countless atrocities against native peoples and engaged in merciless economic exploitation during their long period as a global empire. How civilized.
