Ckrisg Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Stickman Weekly "Why are there so many Brits in Bangkok who are America / American haters? It really gets on my nerves. I was out one night this week with an American friend and we bumped into a British friend who is otherwise a decent enough sort. Once my British realised that I was with was American he started to rant and rave and go on and on and on about America and Americans, showing a complete lack of class, complete lack of social skills and no sense of decorum. This is not the first time it has happened and it often makes me reluctant to introduce one Bangkok friend to another - irrespective of nationality. This does seem to be a Thailand expat thing - we know that there are a lot of odd people here - but you know what, I never hear the Americans scoffing off at the Brits" Personally I think this statement is full of shi....., more Sticks problem with Brits!!! What does the Board think!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I don't know how common it is but it's probably all connected to Britain's decline as a world power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I have more British friends than American. This crap does happen - no need to suggest I have a problem with Brits. What a weird conclusion to reach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 A lot of Brits are still pissed off about Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous God Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think it's a bit rude to single out Brits, you should add about 181 other countries as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave32 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yeah, the best assessment would be everybody (except maybe Israel, but they probably hate us too). Hell, even Americans hate Americans. Being one of us ain't easy bruthas, that's all I got to say. (And even worse, inside the US everybody hates Los Angeles most of all. The most hated of the hated. Living here is good training. For what I'm not sure... but it's good training). "They got all kinds of fuckin' stuff They got everything you could imagine They're so God damned spoiled They're poisoned inside They iudge a man by what he's got And they wanta have more and more More power, more freedom Taller kids, longer lives Everything" -Iggy Pop --------- Edit: Forgot the other part of the song. Iggy Pop: 'well I mean I like it here...do you have anything you' d like to say to america?' Henry Rollins: 'I'd iust like to say at this point that i' m 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 day a year... american' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Most Israelis I've talked to about it just think America is dumb. They could have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
