Maybe it is jealousy?

I personally love the US, so much so that growing up I wanted to BE American!

Granted, I went through a phase of wanting to be Russian, German and Japanese too :-P

I am now proud to be English..but still love these countries <3

People should chill and try a little harder to love not hate.

I don't think you understand what "a lot" means. I do not see "a lot" of people dressing like this.

Why did you move to the UK? Was it because, we Brits are ever-reliable and damned tasty?

@Cailean

*High five*


I'm writing an anthropological paper on chavs. I'm still deciding on the title but leaning towards "20/12/2012 is nothing compared to chavs." 


What is a chav?

You would get attacked by a mob of chavs just by looking at them or you get a reply like:

What you looking at mate you startin? I'll mash you up ennit, get me some cigs?

With so many young mums and dads, the condom is a myth or a urban legened over here.


But they do it for the Council houses!

I moved to the UK from Sweden and have been here for 2 years. My English is better than theirs. It's sad.


I would move back if i were you, nothing special here and miserable weather all the time and it is only going to get worse!

Commit murder and you only have to say the magic sentence that involves your Human rights and your free i mean the guy who was the cause of the death of a baby is going to be free in 6 weeks, that aint justice, an illegal immigrant killed a child while driving a car and he does not have a license either, he got away. Immigrants can claim benefits, get a free house and all they need to do is keep popping out babies.

The UK is the trashcan of Europe. I plan to leave this country as soon as possible.


I'll trade with you.

I've always wanted to live in England since I was little.


Are you from America? I swap any day, always wanted to know what taffy was and try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, go to a American school and try American football, baseball and basketball and go to a Superbowl.

Yep, I'm American.

Not a fan of our football, baseball, or basketball really. But sports are REALLY popular.

Taffy is good, and so is PB&J.

So what do Americans have to replace chavs? Gangsters?

A encounter with a wild chav is always unpleasant and will possibly result in a fight. They are the lowest of the low, i seen a kid possibly 10 years old pick a fight with a grown man.

I've never gotten into sports. Watching black men do something I could never accomplish isn't my thing. Also why I don't watch interracial porn. ZING!

Sorry, but this is starting to irritate me... Whenever I hear someone call someone else/some group the "lowest of the low" or "scum", I want to rip their throat open. Who do you think you are to judge others, or their way of living? Sheesh.

Picking fights with a group of friends and singling out a single person, starting fights with strangers for no reason, robbing from people, mugging, vandalism, arson, violence the list goes on.

If they are not the lowest of the low what are they? They certainly not members of society. I have seen them in action before and it is never pleasant., Do you live in the UK?

Why are Mexicans or Hispanics looked down overall in America?


They often enter the country illegally, and on occasion cross into the country just to give birth and have their kids be automatic US citizens.

That's the reasons I've heard.


This and illegal Mexicans can always undercut the job market here because they can always work for cheaper since most are illegal and don't pay taxes which go back into feeding the economy. This is not a prejudiced remark, I have worked in a couple of industries where Hispanics, and Mexicans predominantly, swarm into the United States, are the only ones who have the jobs because they can undercut any American workers on cost and put Americans out of work. Some people blame businesses for hiring the cheap labor, but if you have two competing companies, one with a much higher overhead due to hiring illegals and one with a much lower income because they play by the rules, the company hiring illegals is going to eventually have enough clout to put the other business out of work in no time flat.

 I have all the love in the world for Hispanic and Mexican workers who become citizens and pay taxes, they are some of the nicest people and hardest workers I've met. The illegals just ****** me off though. A co-worker of mine, who is Jamaican and a legal citizen really gets pissed at illegals too, most people do. I'm sure illegals are also very good people. I've likely worked with some that weren't legal, unknowingly. But if they don't at least try to give back to the country they are leeching off of, then that is cause enough for me to not want them around. It is sad when people have an unfortunate situation, but the time has come to end outlandishly PC dogma and work with some hard facts. Mexico and alot of Hispanic nations have alot of nice natural resources and hard workers. If they want to really make a difference in the world and for their children, for their children's children then they need to weed out corruption at home and the running of several South American governments by drug czars.

Aside from the Hispanic/Mexican issues. I think most people hate America because it's the easy thing to do. It's easy to hide in the shadows and take pot-shots at a big target and America is a big target. It screws up about as often as it succeeds because no one is perfect. Often the U.S. has been forced into conflicts it had no right to be involved in. The U.S. didn't start the Great War or World War 2. Yet everyone expected the western hemisphere to be involved just because Europeans placated Hitler's monsterous expansionism unopposed till it was too late. Then after the war, the only way to get alot of countries back on their feet was the Marshall Plan, which gave billions which never were returned to the U.S. in any capacity nor was it asked for in any kind of debt.

Now everyone expects the U.S. to be the world's police force. If we don't show up we are demonized. If we do show up we are demonized. America is filled with wonderous amounts of good and some bad people, there is justice, there is injustice but I see it mostly as good. People just need not to stereotype others and try to look deeper. But we also should do this hesitantly and not be so naive as to think we can all hold hands and sing "We Are The World" because that's just going to make us open to being a future victim. The world is probably a few hundred years, if not a thousand (if humanity lasts that long) from a global government. The internet and telecommunications have helped with cutting down some barriers. The revolts in Iran never would of happened without them. But we're a long way from loving the same values which will all make us equal. And you have to love on the same level, with the same concepts of freedom to truely be free. People just aren't ready for this yet.

What Iriot said.

Your post is made up of nonsense. 

1. There are suicide bombers and terrorists everywhere, Volus. Including the United States. You do remember September 11th, right?

2. If the 'illegals in Mexico' are in Mexico then that doesn't make them illegal immigrants; that makes them a Mexican national... because they are in their home country. 

No country is perfect and like Iriot said in an earlier post, it's more about being anti the american government and their way of going about their business than about being anti the american people. 



Oh cmon. Everyone would do more or less the same thing if it was in their power.  Brits sure as hell did, with massacres left and right all around the world for a few bucks.. Spainish did, murdering entire cultures to loot their temples.. .. and now we are the villian. Being the villian is more interesting anyway.

Our government does ****** me off often, and is admittingly largely run by corporate interests with the occasional "feel-goody" nonsense. But hey, the government of every other nation pisses me off if I look into it.

Have the Brits figured out how to write down their Constitution in a centralized document yet rather than a hodgepodge of outdated treaties and agreements? No.

Have the Swedes or the Swiss ever shown any worth in conflict in the modern age? No.

Have the Chinese become any less of a police state? No.

Is the Mexican government essentially run by drug lords? Yes.

And so forth. Pot call the kettle much?

As per our business, Exxon-Mobil vs. British East India Company.. hmmm... I dare say the British East India Company was far worse.

Most of the criticism shows little sense of historical perspective.

I judge the **** out of others when their way of living involves being douche bags that **** with people for no reason. And yes the gangster of today is a chav. I had a ten year old pull a knife on me once and ty to mug me, but I know how to fight (JKD) so I just took it from him, he stared at me for a bit and then tailed it.

It's not just the UK...people can be like that anywhere, that's obvious. But they could be in poverty and have a substantial amount of bad luck within their life. Grouping people together like that is wrong first-of-all.

How dare you, Sir! Brits did not massacre left, right and centre! It's all a pack of lies! LIES AND SLANDER!

Our Empire was a wondrous thing! Before it all went downhill, and we didn't have any money to support it and Kenyans and Malaysians started to revolt...........

I shouldn't bother with this arguement,  but you're telling me that someone that will beat an old man isn't a piece of ****? Because that happens all the time here, they do it to women, anyone. I don't balme them for dealing drugs, ****, I'd do it to, but beating some old guy to death isn't okay.

I have had my fair share of bad luck in my younger years yet i don't act like them so why should they? Most of them there parents are well off from what i seen, they get what they want and take what they want, they can not be arsed to stay and learn or get a job but sponge of the government and terrorise the streets.
