Mr T,
Just because you agree with someone like Nipples doesn't make him right. Who made you the judge of what makes Americans look bad. I also like to hear what exactly makes me as American look bad.
You said it right... America was OWNED by British... it WASN'T Great Britain, it wanted to be independent or at least to have representation... but no, all British wanted was keeping colonies as supply depot from which they can take whatever they like, whenever they like and how much they like on a whim of some royal prick...
Why do I agree that you make Americans look bad? Because you clearly have a MAJOR sense of bias and one-sidedness that gives Americans a bad hearing, you clearly have that attitude that gives Americans a bad name, that "Ooooh 'MURICA land of freedom, liberty, the British were tyrants who needed to be stopped with their evil! Blablablablacrap".
It is this attitude, and others consisting of your bias/one sided nature that give Americans a bad wrap, I know not all Americans are bad, but you and your kind just ruin their image. As a British person, I can accept that Britain did many bad things in its history, every country has in their history, America no exception, but to say that the British were evil tyrants in the Americas? Just not true.
And your second paragraph just proves my point, where did you get your information from? What historians have said that the British just wanted the Americas to take what they liked whenever they liked? Fighting for the Americas in the mid 1700's was not about grapping what they wanted, but spreading its own country's influence and wealth and colonising, it was the same with all the countries that colonised the Americas, you talk as if colonising and spreading a country's influence is tyrannical and evil, but America was no different either.
Need I remind you of what the Americans did to expand after the war of 1812? That quite frankly was horrible.
