    Do no Americans not get the feeling they are living in the wrong country?

    Let's face it.

    America is done. It can no longer afford the pretence of being rich, free, or powerful.

    It flounders in a mire that makes mice seem heroic.
    Come sit down beside me I said to myself
    And although it doesn't make sense
    I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
    And together I sat on the fence

    I am not going anywhere whomever wins the election. We are not done until the people say we are, and that's us. Not going to happen.

    Good news indeed.

    Just try not to come here.

    For starters, we can't stand your accent.

    Well I don't actually have an accent except when I am around family but I do love the way southerns speak. Besides can't stand cold weather if you are up north, won't have to worry.

    Another Yank demonstrates woeful knowledge of geography.

    North is just where we are not.

    But even I know you are the smudge between Canada and Mexico.

    If this alleged stat is true --- that 80% of Americans have no passport , therein lies a huge part of the answer .
    What they need are bridges , if only metaphorical .
    Otherwise presumably OK , "normal" Americans tour Europe with an unbroken air of surprise and delight when they find out that it is nothing like the pictures that have somehow been built of it . Meeting Americans here is a revelation . They are just totally unprepared for what they find which is why it immediately becomes a second home for so many of them . The vast bulk of comment here shows a distressing ignorance of what goes on in Team GB , let alone , how, and , why .Most Americans are so badly misinformed that at times it almost looks like a deliberate policy to hide the " good news " and perhaps not shame them selves .
    Insularity is one of the greatest disadvantages Americans suffer from , which is a circumstance which more easily allows them to beggar their global neighbours with such ease and disdain . That is , the full truth never dawns on them
    The absurd attitude toward Muslims , as shown here by a very vocal group , is a prime example of poor education and complete ignorance of the truth . In civilised and balanced societies this immigrant group are an asset and cultural pleasure . The fundamental extremists are there but represent about 0.1% of their community . Maximum .
    BUT , as John Maynard Keynes told us , beggaring your neighbours is but a short step away from beggaring yourself . An economic truth , because it is standing the test of time as the imminent collapse of the American Empire will once again bear testimony to .

    Which is all the more reason Americans should stay in America.

    They can more easily disguise their ignorance there.

    It's naughty to admit it , but peeping in from the outside is like visiting the Zoo and watching strange rites and practises .

    It's a shame you guys feel compelled to hobnob with the very people you despise and want to see destroyed.
