I don't have a problem with Anti-American sentiments, but I always find it funny that the soft Cultural Imperialism that America engages in constantly is like a shadow play of what Britain did for centuries. You Brits are all right, tho:) *goes to see if new QI episode is on youtube yet*

Yeah, I mean a lot of it is that the British Empire was from an earlier time, but they were pretty nasty about a lot of things. American cultural imperialism is more like the roommate who keeps the pantry stocked with tasty junk food and keeps saying "help yourself."

Lol yeah, except when they're assassinating democratically elected leaders, flooding poor countries with American-produced products (which the American companies are paid for) which price out locally produced products, or full-on invading places.

Yep, just pure open pantry.

(Pssst, most Britons at the time thought we were helping other countries with our Empire too, in a generous, self-sacrificing way. Maybe you should consider why other countries don't think your behaviour is so unimpeachable)

(But I'd still have rather been in a British colony than a French, Spanish, Portugese or Italian one. Better odds. Look at poor Somalia.)
