Ok, I'm confused now, 'cause I don't know which category I belong to :(
On a more serious note:
I've lived in the States as well as the Uk, almost equal amounts of time. Overall, I find Americans alot more friendlier in nature, more welcoming.
I find the Brits more reserved, not has happy and the filth that comes on the TV here is appalling. Not that the US is a saint, but still, I was seriously shocked to see some of the stuff that came on normal TV here :\ There is more 'hatred' in the atmosphere and I'm not sure if I feel this 'cause I'm Pakistani and we are more or less despised here (something I didn't feel in the States). We may get the friendly nature from some, but deep down inside, they don't want us here, lol.
I don't think the people of any one country is more intelligent than the other however, I do feel Brits are more aware of what is happening around the world. Most Americans don't really know what's happening in the next State, never mind the world. They are sheltered in a 'protective bubble' and I think 911 was a real awakening for them.
IF given the chance, I'd pick to live in the US anytime, but there is a small part of me that is growing to love England too.
COMPLETELY AGREE! My heart is in England because of the memories of growing up there but I find life much more agreeable in the States, having lived here for half my life. London is no longer the clean, fun safe place it once used to be.
But British humour cannot ever be compared to American. Only the Brits can understand Goodness Gracious me or Office. And personally, I think the British version was much better!
