Have you noticed that British people get accused of "stirring the pot" when we place greater importance on British things than American things?
Is there a valid reason for this? The world doesn't revolve around America.

Speaking as an American, we don't care what the British are doing or what pot you're stirring.

Urban Spaceman We don't stir the pot, despite being constantly accused of it. We want to stop it being stirred because we like the status quo to remain untampered with. That is how British people are.

I don't care where anyone is from if they're stirring the pot I'll call it like I see it. Actually I've learned a lot more about British things because of some of the British people who post on this site. Some are very kind and good people. One in particular comes here to cause trouble, but I would never assume all British people are like her. I've met too many kind and good Britts to let one bad apple ruin the whole bunch. America is a small country, and a young one, but there is no denying we are the most influential country in the world. Just google it. Still everyone is entitled to their opinion. Even if they are wrong.

If you mean who I suspect you mean, she doesn't come here to cause trouble but you caused trouble with her. Unless you mean someone else, of course.

I haven't had a problem with British people. My best friend on social media is British. I also know an AB member by the name of Creamcrackered who is British. Both are kind and generous. It's Americans who are always stirring the pot. You can tell how vulgar and ungrateful they are by their answers. This is why Canadians hate us, you can't trust Mexico, Central and South America as our neighbors, and the Brits are not far away from hating us too if they continue to get belittled. As Americans, we are supposed to care for our neighbors, especially Great Britain who are the US's closest ally.

I'm guessing it's because the Americans think the world revolves around them, but we know it doesn't.

The world has revolved around us since 1776. -

You might think so, but you're wrong. -

Moodswings, the US is the most influential country in the way that all races contribute to the country. That is how America has survived. Soon, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and many other countries worldwide will not agree with the US being the world's superpower in the near future. Without Great Britain and our allies, it will be the US against the world. Then if we're still here to talk about it, chances are slim and none if we do have a voice. -
Archie Bunker
@Mood - since even the people here that complain about the US never seem to leave while we still have the highest immigration rate, I'd say we're doing pretty good. You're not still bitter over getting beaten up by us pesky colonists, are ya? -

Moodswings, deport 1 immigrant and that immigrant will come back to the country with 10 more immigrants. Deport those 10 immigrants and they will come back to the country with 100 more immigrants. When I was stationed in South Korea in the mid-Millennium, I saw more races than I ever imagined seeing in the US Army. Gotta love the diversity of the US.

What makes you think Britts are so special? Why Archie and I were accused of stirring the pot just the other day! And as far as I know neither of us are Britts. So... Do you have any other lame theories you'd like to throw out there to make you look thuper thmart? Or just to stir the pot if you like....

Maybe they're still pissed about that Tea Party thing over in Boston. -
Linda Joy
Yeah, the American rebellion. If I'm not mistaken the guy they were calling a pervert may have been a Britt too! lol Maybe we should ship them a sense of humor... -

The word is Brits, not Britts. I don't care what you personally think of us, but at least have the decency to get the spelling right. -

Urban Spaceman, I don't think Linda Joy who is an American from Alabama cares it's Brits or Britts. -
Urban Spaceman
Jenny, I don't think Linda Joy cares about anything other than herself. -

Urban Spaceman, you can bash Linda Joy as far as I care. When she asked if anyone missed her: https://www.answerbag.com/q_view/3530780 Not me.

You need to learn your history to know that Winston Churchill begged Franklin D. Roosevelt for America's help in WW2. Nazi Germany bombed London and other strategic cities across Great Britain. The UK would not exist if America didn't come to its rescue. So stop your hatred towards Americans.

I don't hate Americans at all. I don't hate any nationality whatsoever. Don't assume things by misunderstanding my post. I form the impression that Americans hate us, or if they don't hate us they are not very favourably disposed towards us. They have a go at us far more than we have ago at them, especially on this site. -

Assumptions and misunderstandings? Nope, everyone answered your question in the same manner as I did. It's a actually a fact that the world revolves around America. The US is the world police. Your question is a good example of wanting to make British people better than American people. I was not born in America to show favoritism. I call it as I see it - fair in how both the US and England have good relations.

What I can agree with: British people are definitely passionate on British things compared to Americans in which many do not know their history: https://youtu.be/aaqaImebd1M?si=R-PxqjiHWqYRfZbU British people are also more polite, they have better manners, are happier and far more enthusiastic.
