Oh wow haggis is British? I thought it was scottish. Also no offense but I don't feel that's something to brag about, I mean it's comparable to American hot dogs. If you like it, like it quietly don't declare it, especially after people learn how it's made.

"We invented Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper."Nice stuff to rot the teeth. Here are a few examples of British foodstuff inventions:While I have no idea why anyone would be proud of inventing soda, I'm not sure if you should bring up English food in a dick showing competition like this one. England has a worldwide reputation for having poor, bland, unpalatable food, a generalization I completely agree with after visiting the country. Literally the only good food I had over there was good Indian food. Not any better than what I could find in CA, but still good. But every time I ordered some English cuisine I had a hard time finishing my plate.The global community views English food along the same lines they view hospital or airline food. It's never going to be delicious, but at least it's a meal... it's sustenance.

You're confusing American food with fast food. Fast food is greasy, fatty junk regardless of which country you get it in. Obviously not all of our food is like that or we wouldn't make it past 30. And fast food and American food both taste better than English food, which is the point I was trying to make. You brought up the health stuff. Also, if you're going to respond the entirety of my post I feel it's kind of redundant to bold the whole thing. It's implied you're responding to the whole thing unless you bold a specific part you want to address.

"You're confusing American food with fast food"America is, however, the largest consumer of fast-food in the world - and America is the country in which America made the most fast-food.

America is, however, the largest consumer of fast-food in the world -We're actually the largest consumer of pretty much everything. So what's your point? This doesn't make American food and fast food the same thing. and America is the country in which America made the most fast-food.Um... no shit? And England is the county in which England made the most fast food.but I would always choose toad-in-the-hole and other English dishes over a KFC.And the chef making the shitty hispotal food doesn't think it tastes that bad... you can hardly expect him to. Similarly, you'll deny the bland, unpalatable nature of English food because you are English.

Brilliant. So America is also a very wasteful countryConsuming something and wasting something are not the same thing. It isn't bland you crazy, uncultured foolFunny you'd say that in response to a post where I said, "Similarly, you'll deny the bland, unpalatable nature of English food because you are English." You're very predictable. But my opinion of English food has nothing to do with insanity or lack of culture. It's just after trying English food in England and trying English food in America and making English recipes at home, I've determined English food is bland at best and greasy/gross at worst. This would be like me eating Mexican food in Mexico and in America and making it at home and deciding Mexican food is generally pretty spicy, or something.

If you drop an American child in Britain that child will grow up witty, if you drop a British kid in America that child will not grow up as witty. It's only because of the difference in diction and word choice. For example in baltimore we call soda "soda" while up further in new york they call it "pop". That does not make them more or less anything it just means they grew up around different words.I'm admitting that british people often sound clever and witty, but I believe that that is not telling of their society as a whole actually being so.

"If you drop an American child in Britain that child will grow up witty, if you drop a British kid in America that child will not grow up as witty"How on Earth did you ever reach that conclusion? There is a strong correlation between intelligent people and comedians - comedians tend to be very intelligent and to be able to crack those quick jokes and have the power to make people laugh you understandably have to be. And because people in the UK have higher IQs than people in America on average, it is actually more probable that people in England who go to America are going to be more witty - as long as the American culture doesn't 'dumb them down' too much.

I'm not going to comment on the "clever" argument since that depends entirely on the person. Both places offer good education. And Americans and the English (used instead of British by the ignorant although they're entirely different --->"British" irks me) both have their charm. But since I'm American, of course I'm going to defend us in regards of what makes us so amazing as a nation.1. We have a vast amount of culture. Our past of slavery and hypocrisy isn't something we should be proud of but the diversity of our nation through immigration and whatnot! Wow! 2. We invented blues, and rock n roll3.

Yes, but it was the English who were the first to abolish the practice.

But you admit the English had slaves. Being first is irrelevant.It's like when two people engage in affairs and the first one to stop cheating on their spouse is the one who 'wins'.By the way, if we are going by 'who abolished slavery first', the French were technically before the English, even if they did revive it later under Napoleon.~The More You Know~But it really doesn't matter who was first. It doesn't make any one country any better than the other as long as both abolished it.

"But you admit the English had slaves. Being first is irrelevant."Well of course the English had slaves, though they rarely appeared on our shores.

Whenever Europe, especially Brits, use the 'slavery argument', they're using it as a crutch. They forget their own history is full of it and lasted much longer than America's.So yeah. What I'm saying is you can't use slavery to further your arguments since it only ends up making you look foolish.
Debate: English People are Cleverer than Americans
Side: True

I find it unlikely that a Brit would forget about our involvement in the slave trade, considering how it is the only part of the British Empire which is set in the national history curriculum.And while our part in the practice may have been longer, the majority of it was spent in an era of thought in which it was considered morally justified to use slaves, mainly due to Darwinian logic claiming that slaves were a lesser species and therefore animals. However, when further evidence of the cruelty to slaves came to the majority of the population, the UK was the first to abolish the trade and actively worked against it. However the USA, with first hand experience of the unjustifiable actions towards slaves, still continued with the trade.
Debate: English People are Cleverer than Americans

Debate: English People are Cleverer than Americans
Side: I'm American

Admittedly anecdotal but...In none of my travels have I seen anything to suggest that people are notably more or less intelligent in varying countries. Nothing I've seen suggests that there is a notably lower or higher rate of intelligent vs. unintelligent individuals in society either.I believe the perception of stupidity in America is predominately due to our culture and economic structure, which serve to give our less intelligent individuals a much louder voice and a much larger audience than their peers in other nations. Of course, I can't exactly prove that, though one would think the burden of proof would be on the one claiming the disparity.

It feels good as an atheist to say "you're taking it out of context". The only difference between the two is scale, the process is the same. Believing in one but not believing in the other is intellectually dishonest.

The process is thought to be the same, since macro has never been observed. Based on this; believing in one and believing in the other, takes a huge leap of faith.
