I don't need a rebuttal. Don't be so characteristically abrasive, Yank. Many of those things you listed are sheer matter of opinion. America has certainly not produced the vast majority of cream of the crop scientists, the UK has the title for 'most invented', dozens of better healthcare systems exist in the world than America's, and I personally prefer all of the UK's art, music and literature. Film I will give you.

You are doing a wonderful job of demonstrating why I would rather live in Canada than the UK. I can take my American movies with me in a hard drive. The general mindset of the people and their attitude to life is a little bit more difficult though. I find too high a proportion - too high, not all - of Americans to be distant, dehumanized, utterly plastic, egotistical fucktards to ever consider living their. I find most Irish people to be close minded, ignorant, gossip obsessed closet racists if that balances it out for you and you think I am simply attacking a country for the heck of it.
