I don’t agree with this surveillance culture either but what the fuck, how can you Yanks criticise anyone for it? You have one of the shadiest, most corrupt governments on the planet, going around policing the world and imposing your materialistic, fake, shallow culture on everyone. What do you think your president was recently pulled up on? Yeah that’s right, he admitted to bugging peoples’ phone lines and homes in the name of anti-terrorism…. not just members of his government but members of the public.

and yet brits even outdo and lead uswhen it cums to destroying its citizens civil rights...gg assholes...if they tried that shit over here ppl would revolt...but i guess brits r just more servile ppl...lamers...
This thread isn't about my country, it's about yours. It sounds to me like you think that since my government is supposedly worse than yours, you can feel better about yourself. It doesn't work that way. How you can say something as feeble and "you can't criticize us because your government is worse" is beyond comprehension. In case you haven't noticed, I am not my government. I can criticize whomever I please. My right to criticize doesn't disappear just because my government is full of shit.DiscoDave wrote:I don’t agree with this surveillance culture either but what the fuck, how can you Yanks criticise anyone for it?

Geoff, Got anything to back that up? A dictionary would help too.
Dave, but its just vastly narrow minded to say that brits are "pathetic" because of this, according to Geoff.
And it certainly diminishes your right to criticise someone's government for something your own government is guilty of. As well as moronic comments Geoff sometimes makes.
it's like saying "oh you're hacking" to someone in a game then hacking yourself

Oh please, your culture goes back a few hundred years, ours goes back thousands. We created your culture and it went wrong.
americans can't stand it when all these "little" countries stand up to them and can't stand it when someone tells them they're nothing but the offspring of the british empire and european settlers.

We (i.e. "you") had nothing to do with creating American culture. Also, yours does not go back "thousands" of years; it goes back only as far as your various governments have needed to go in order to find enough commonalities between various ethnicities that they could construct an identity of being "British" that a majority of Inselaffen could follow... It's one of the tenets of nationalism.DiscoDave wrote:Oh please, your culture goes back a few hundred years, ours goes back thousands. We created your culture and it went wrong.

You just happened to buy their crap hook, line and sinker. But don't feel bad, it happens to everyone. I bet you have more in common culturally with the Fab Four than you have with Henry V or some long dead cultural figure. Your culture is not the sum of its parts. Just because you can trace your ancestry back millenia, doesn't mean you have your ancestors' culture.
