What likeable people might do
In all fairness they could have put the tank in gear.
True but fortunately the Americans weren't burdened with a degenerate aristocracy and soon the students far excelled the teachers.
The thieves excelled the stolen-from in thieving. True.
The Americans are spreading the Ideas, Customs, and Culture of their Parents ... Great Britain. So, if I were you, I wouldn't be complaining too much.
The Chinese feel the West has 'humiliated' them for the last 100 years. Can you say "Opium War"?
(Thanks iolo .... here's another fine mess you've gotten us into)
The English regime that controlled - and still largely controls - the UK were exactly the right parents for American capitalism; barbarous thieves. I agree about the opium war. I am British, so I don't believe in the United Kingdom. Are we arguing about something?

I find Americans extremely likeable. Don't you know anything of what they have done?

Jack: "here's another fine mess you've gotten us into" Famous tag line of the 'Laurel & Hardy' comedy duo.
"The critically acclaimed film Stan & Ollie is released in UK cinemas on Friday. It documents the legendary comedy duo's final tour, which came to an abrupt end in the English city of Plymouth in May 1954."

I was attempting American 'humor' here, I apologize my Welsh brother, you're probably too young to remember these guys.

Video unavailable. I am probably going gaga with old age, but I'm baffled.

It was just a 11 second video of the East India Company flag. Here's another link:

The Tea thrown overboard in Boston, was East India Company tea.
"To fully tell and understand the story of the Boston Tea Party, a flotilla of all three ships is necessary. With only the Beaver at the site of the museum for so many years, many people have the impression there was only one ship that was off-loaded during the Boston Tea Party. The new Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum will illuminate the importance and the significance of this historic event with replicas of all three ships involved. On the night of the Boston Tea Party, three ships that had sailed from London carrying cargoes of British East India Company tea were moored in Boston Harbor. The vessels were built in America and owned by Americans. The Beaver and the Dartmouth were whalers, and the Eleanor was a full rigged ship."
So, ... for Americans to adopt anything close to a flag of the East India Company is odd to say the least.
(... unless, America IS ... the East India Company?)

Thanks - that is very interesting and odd!
