Obviously there is a longterm bond between the two countries, to say nothing of both being Angosphere countries, and having somewhat similar cultures (although this is certainly debatable). I know that sometimes these nation states go there own way, especially with Trump in power, and back when Bush was in power, but still. Thoughts?

@Darkrobotisback BS stereotypes. And which accent is impossible to understand? As all 4 countries have their own accents and England itself has many many different accents.

As an aside how many Americans are aware that the UK/Britain is 4 countries?

England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland

My heritage is like 90% British (English really) so to me it's considered da olda country.

I don't understand some of the laws (like a tool bag being a small armory of weapons apparently) and the whole royalty BS, but otherwise someday I'd really really like to go there.

I wouldn't say that's fucked us over, but are many other laws that certainly have. Can certainly disagree with the gun law and reasons why it was implemented though.

If we are going this route than an acid attack while shit cant end many peoples lives in a matter of seconds and has way less chance to kill than a gun.

Again guns can kill more people + are easier to kill with then knives and ''mass'' stabbings are way rarer here then mass shootings in the US.

Yeah just controls a bazillion dollars in living wealth and gives speeches about austerity while wearing clothes that are more gemstone than fabric

But who knows, maybe if instead of giving a queen a ton of land and wealth and not even having her do anything for it, she actually had some authorities, maybe the disastrous Brexit campaign would not have succeeded

Not as much as Americans should be, seeing as murder by knives/sharp objects is higher in the US than it is in the UK.

Knife crime rising here is definitely a massive issue, but even with it's giant leap in recent years the crime rate for is still staggeringly lower than America's last I checked the statistics.

England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland

and it's because of those many different accents, some of which have greater influences among the German, Norwegian and possibly other languages is what makes said denizens of those countries hard to understand.
To be fair though, the same thing happens with the Spanish language...
Especially if compare the vast accents in South America...

Britain is a fucking mess because of shit related to the monarchy. Our current leader and the one before last went to the same school, the same school the queen's kids go to. It's a mockery of a democracy, kinda like yours but you create your own dynasties and ours are thrust upon us.

Regulations wise, America is well more hardcore on needing permits to do stuff, whereas Britain has sleepwalked into a surveillance state.

Teeth wise, as you know healthcare here isn't a massive profiteering con like it is there, which explains why our dentistry is far better than yours.

Overall, love and hate both countries for different reasons. We can slag off the leaders and institutions, but for most people with an ok job life is easy and fun in both places.
