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

Yes we are over 1000 years older than youDepends when you want to count England as England, but sure. Thats better for my argument. Which is why I find it surprising that you Americans think you can possibly compare your country to ours.Firstly, you'll notice it was an Englishman who made this debate, not an American. Secondly, the US and the UK are comparable countries. Out of all the nations of the world you'd be hard pressed to find a country more similar. Which, when you consider you've had an extra thousand years to figure your shit out, must be pretty embarrasing for you guys. Jumping in on the winning side is also good strategy isn't it? It's what you Americans did in the World Wars anyway.That's not what we were talking about or the war we were talking about. But thanks for again sharing your evident butthurt over our behavior in a European war 70+ years ago. 1) Yes, our Empire was extremely large, it has yet to be overtaken in size, military power, naval power, economic power etc. and yet you Americans have had a centuries worth of technology to try overtake us and you haven't even come close.As you pointed out, you have a 1000 year jump on us. We shouldn't even have come close, except we have. Do you honestly believe in a modern US vs England war (one on one) you guys would actually win? We spend all our money on our military. 2) To claim that the entire British Empire was beaten by America is stupid, while the American revolution was occurring British politicians were arguing whether to bother fighting at all, because the American colonies were so worthless.We fought against England for our independence and won. I don't really care if that happened because of our military prowess or because of your governments incompetence, or both; victory is victory. To call the French, Spanish and Dutch empires a 'bunch of upstart hicks' is a bit of an insult to themOh, well, good thing I never did that, then. We could handle the Germans quite fine without you and anyway we had Russia to help us.(Un)fortunately, we'll never know if you would have eventually retaken Europe and kept England if the US hadn't participated in the war and aided you throughout, because that's what happened. Anything else is speculation. Which is why I didn't say we won the war for you, because we didn't, I said we helped, because we did, and you seem to be to arrogant and proud to accept even that. I also said we helped because we are friends, an opinion that's feeling awfully one-way right now. A few years is not what I call "straight away".Yay I get to learn you a on a bit of California slang. I didn't say 'straight away' (quickly) I said 'straight giving away,' 'straight' here meaning clearly, evidently, up-front, obvious. Example: 'she's a straight bitch.'Also I made that statement in response to Mic saying it was immoral and unjustified for us to help you in WWII. Do you honestly share that opinion?Well, joining a war when we start to win isn't exactly fair play.Firstly, fair play? Are you a fucking knight in shining armor? Perhaps you miss the days when armies would convene at a preappointed time and place, break for brunch, line up, shoot at eachother a bit, have dinner, shoot some more, and whichever side with the most developing infections loses and goes home, but war hasn't been about "fair play" for a very, very long time. In fact fairly fighting a war is a sure way to lose a war. Secondly, it was a European war. We didn't hesitate to engage the Japanese because they actually attacked us on American soil. We got involved in the European side of things because a European Axis power (namely, Germany) declared war on us. After sinking several of the ships we were using to send you supplies, of course. So no, we didn't just keep and eye on the war and hop in when things started looking good; the war came to us. Because of the holocaust (which according to you, the Europeans had handled) there was a slight moral imperative to get involved, but aside from that it was a European war. Why should we have gotten involved? European countries fighting European countries over European problems. I don't know about Mic, but I despise America because they produce citizens with such a distorted view of history that they can claim statements such as "you boasted having an empire so large the sun never set on it, to be eventually bested by a bunch of upstart hicks in colonies half the world away."So you hate us because our school system isn't to your standard? That seems a lot of energy to put into your opinion about the education of a country half a world away. The only thing I despise England for is it poor gene pool. It's a cool ass country I really wanted to move to until I actually went there and realized it's populated with some of the most unattractive people on Earth. I understand there's nothing you guys can really do about this, though, and I wouldn't find it so bothersome if I didn't desire to sleep with attractive women, so it's a very personal, subjective qualm. And wider bodies. Much, much wider bodies.Hahaha a member of the second most obese country in the world making fat jokes to a member of the most obese country in the world. Do something about your own morbid obesity before you start judging others for it. Besides, as a nation we're only 7% more obese than England. That means roughly 3.5% more obese chicks in the US. But we also have some 250,000,000 more people, half that many women, which overall means we still have wayyyyyyyyy more skinny chicks to choose from than you do.
