[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With regards to many of these issues, the US and Great Britain are equally bad, and possibly evil.

Current thread of racism running through our domestic relationships and politics: Check!

History of profit from oppression and slavery: Check!

[b]World domination leading to a long lasting sense of superiority that is, in fact, based on not much of substance: Yes indeedy.

If you were to compare London's food to the DC food scene, there's also quite a bit of similarity.  Both have excellent food on offer.  Both have terrible food which is both overpriced and primarily serves tourists.  Both have dense city centers and Uber Eats can bring excellent local ethnic food right to your hotel room. Not much difference there either.

We are both cities blessed with extensive, excellent and easy to navigate public transportation systems.  Both have their moments of discomfort and flaws.

Both DC and London have world class museums for free: a bonus for both!

This thread seems a bit silly.  London is not in fact, horrible.  I'm sorry you are having a bad time of it, OP.  I hope you can turn it around or at least shorten your stay if possible.

When you think about it long and hard, unfortunately you have to admit the cultural, intellectual and technological output of both the US and the UK is staggering and vastly disproportionate so I'd have to concede any sense of superiority is in fact well-deserved.

For all the nitpicking and flaws, our modern liberalism is very much a consequence of the global anglo influence. You criticize Americans and British for a history of racism, but it's also Americans and the British who were the *first* to say racism is bad (meanwhile racism flourishes without restraint in the non-Western world...).

Thank you, yes....[/quote]
