Wait. What. I saw references to this on the APH community, but I didn't know it was real.

Apparently UK wants out of the "special relationship".

D8 I... I think that's a load of BS. Sorry, BBC. I normally love you, I swear. They just don't like the terms "special relationship" because it may damage their relationship with other countries, but, ( Read more... )

I kinda agree with the beginning in that it mostly refers to our history. Plus having had a lot of english tourists, I can say they still see it that way as we're related countries.

*nod* Yeah. :/ I think they're just in denial since America isn't very popular atm, lol. Just because a relationship doesn't have a name doesn't mean it's not there. XD

Plus, I don't know what they're worried about. :/ I don't think any of the other countries care about the special relationship outside of the US and UK.

Hahaha, yep.

Added bonus: said tourists tend to also not give a shit about our revolution, but think it's interesting bits of history.

Hahaha figures. XD It's unfortunate that we're such a young country. I feel like Europeans must be bored when they come over, we don't have anything else to offer them.

lol

I asked this really awesome couple once, and they pointed out so much crap has happened since such as the stuff in India and whatnot. They actually giggled at me for asking. lol

Nah, I'm sure it's a bit refreshing. We also have a lot more diverse things, including natives and whatnot. Obviously a lot of it has directly to do with their history, soooo...

Hahaha, that's pretty cool! o.o Good thing they weren't offended or anything! I'm actually really curious what they put in their textbooks for the American and Indian revolutions against England. Although... I lol a bit at Canada and UK's relationship. Canada didn't get it's on Constitution shipped over until 1982 or something. @_@;;;

Oh, btw. :D Since I'm genuinely curious, what do the English say about the Revolutionary stuff in Philly? o.o
