Brits wrong about some of the stuff they hate Americans for

[Sundae]

This is an extremely biased article. The poll simply revelealed that the Brits asked did not know certain facts. "Hatred" does not come into it, just ognorance. Some people polled also did not know some positive aspects about Amercia - so? How many Americans know about the British environmental movement or social justice?

The implication is that the poll was - why do you hate America SO MUCH?
a) they like fighting Muslims
b) they sold Saddam Hussain most of his guns
c) they let people die if they're ill
d) they are polygamous
e) they win all the gold medals

Apart from US-bashing being a favourite topic around European dinner tables, it has serious affects on national policy.

Bwahahahahahahaha!
The only Amercian bashing I would do around a dinner table would be banging down a bottle of Jim Beam and saying, "There you go, help yourselves!"

Seriously - I have never EVER heard anything more than occasional joking remarks about Americans. And for the Torygraph to imply hatred from this poll - and reiterate it as something that is discussed every day in every home is ridiculous.

'Scuse me, I'f off to hang an effigy of Will Lewis and set light to him.
