Yeah, but you also drive on the left side of the road, like soccer, use the c-word a lot, have funny accents, use funny words, and have princes and stuff

of course nations have similar problems, but I can promise you the US is nothing like the UK in specifics and broader terms.

The UK's problems with Islam are much more different than America's. Theres tons of factors that make them so.

What exactly are the differences. The only problem I know of anyone really having with Islam over here is that some people think they might suicide bomb us. Isn't that the general problem in the USA too or am I missing something?

The Uk has much more confined communities than the US, and denser ethnic groups in one, compact areas. Tensions are wayyyy higher when that happens. In the US Muslim communities are more spread out. Thats just one example.

I hate that we disagree on almost everything, but speaking as a person who has spent time in both places, I must once again... Disagree with your assessment. I felt quite at home in London once I figured out where they hide the dang steet signs! :jk

Are you speaking from your knowledge through study of Great Briton, or do you speak from the cultural experience of living inside their boarders for a time?

You have two native English telling you your assessment of their culture is wrong, but you persist. I'm wondering why you feel so strongly about it?
