I love the queen. She is so dignified and to me the personification of being British.
Even though she's German?

I cannot fathom the American fascination with British royalty. It's taking the celebrity status of movie and music stars, added an 'import' markup with the hype, and sold it to mindless Americans desperate for a bit of out of the ordinary soap opera.Seriously, there are people here who DVR and/or stay up late at night for royal weddings or other special events. The constant feed of 'real' tv 8) has to be some sinister plot to destroy American minds. This is just the non-holiday special.

Mmm hmm and whats with calling their boot a trunk?
Hello a boot is the right term
One thing about Americans I dont get is your obsession with your flag. Its like a substitute for a monarcb or something and people take it sooooo seriously... To us a flag is just a flag..No special significance but to you guys its like a sacred relicnir something.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The colors of the flag have important meanings. Red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice

The Snowman, obviously.
... We landed on the moon, and it was an American achievement...
Here's a question for you - do you view us as all the same? All Americans are (mostly) equal?
But there are, as you say, subjective differences:
You see yourselves as protectectors of the free world, whereas we see you as self important bully boys with a gun fetish and a dubious choice in Presidents.
Conversely:
We see ourselves as superior, well educated remnants of one of the greatest empires in history, whereas you see us as uptight tea drinking wimps with bad teeth, a dubious choice of Prime Ministers and an obsession with our 'special relationship' - which let's face it, is a load of bollocks.
However, I think to a certain extent, we are both secretly envious of each other - you for our monarchy; us for your increasingly progressive cannabis laws.
Hope that covers everything...
Edit: I have a question for you. Do you in the USA see yourselves as significantly different from Canadians? (Ignoring the fact that Canada is part of the British Commonwealth).
I personally wouldn't be able to tell the difference myself - you all talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the road...![]()
and their humongous mass of useless great white north that nobody would want in the first place.
