A British Point Of View....Why Not?

America, America, America. We aren't that different you know. UKand USA. We're practically going out. While Canada tags along on some of our dates and Europe watches green with envy. I have found myself getting sucks into some of the full blown American crap on cafe mom. Forgetting just who and what i am.

The fact is, things like christianity just arn't cared about very much any more. Though we still claim to be a christian country. But we are only a christian country when we feel the muslims are over stepping their boundaries. Abortion is not as much of a taboo over here as it is in America. You will very rarely find a family who have disowned their daughter for having one over here.

(Now, i am not saying that this never happens. Just a lot less then in the US)

I get annoyed when i read comments about how Obama is already ruining everything and that he is useless. And i get annoyed when Brits blame absolutely EVERYTHING on Nu Labour. It's tiring. (I do however laugh when people refer to him as Mr. Obama. Its president Obama to you,now)

I get upset when a mother asks for advice about adoption V abortion and people feel it necessary to insult her. Calling her a potential baby killer and telling her to keep her legs shut. And i just don't understand how America can be so Pro Life but be so anti Universal Medicine. You see, America has the worst infant mortality rate in the western world due to its health care system. And it is NOT a secret. So, perhaps i am missing something.

I will openly admit that i am pretty much Anti-America. But, as i said. The UK isn't much better. We are salves to Health and Safety which seems to have a tendency to cost more lives then it saves recently. We aren't even allowed to hang out the St George croos flag as it offends Muslims due to St Georges part in the crusades. But, as stated by many growing-very-impatient Brits. "If this is to be their country too. Then they must embrace their new culture"

We even allowed protest groups to insult and ridicule our troops during a homecoming parade recently. Allowing names such as "Baby Killers" to be thrown in their direction. That would NOT happen in America.

I hate war. But, i would never treat my host country with such disrespect after everything it has done for me the way those Muslim protesters did. They are biting the hand that feeds. Which is a huge slap in the face.

I suppose my point to all of this is. None.

Thank You for reading anyway.
