Its true that the narrow minded people see the USA in backward cliched ways just as the narrow minded of the USA and all nations have the same cliched outlook. Most British people love the USA and enjoy American culture. Its easy to be negative and I can mention lots of negative things about both countries but the UK is tiny compared to the USA but has achieved much for its tiny size.Check out:

for some of these achievements. The initial contributor was also talking absolute rubbish when he stated the crime in Britain was worse than South Africa. An average yearly murder rate in Britain of 650-700 compared to the average in South Africa with half the population of 18,000-20,000. That really is being negative.
