		<description>I find it sad that this topic has turned into a forum for brit-bashing. I myself am english and am currently living &amp; working in NYC, while i&#039;ve been here have not belittled anyone or been ignorant or agressive towards american culture one bit, nor have i been rude to people. 
please don&#039;t generalise on such a scale to presume you know all english people. some of us have good educations, are open-minded, live life with a spirit of adventure, are curteous and like to be nice to people. When you presume to know the characteristics of all brits you&#039;re also treading on those with manners too. 

Please don&#039;t forget that i&#039;m sure there are some american people that aren&#039;t exactly the antithesis of good manners or open-minded appreciation of other cultures &amp; ways of life, but that doesn&#039;t mean i presume all americans are that way.</description>

		<description>To JOhn and Die Hard New Yorker:

I couldn&#039;t have said it better.


We shouldn&#039;t even be mentioning the war and whether or not a neighborhood should be &quot;culturally&quot; labeled. &quot;Little Italy&quot; or &quot;China Town&quot;, &quot;Hells Kitchen&quot;, etc. had nothing to do with a devotion to any particular war. So, mentioning Irish, Italian, English loyalty is a bunch of bull, and we should only address the obvious and not the far-fetched.  Comparing any of this discussion to the present war is a bit far-fetched.  Unless your speaking of the American Revolution, than by all means!</description>

		<description>James: &quot;Hi im James from england and 16 years old. I think it would be a good idea to have somethere like home. i mean I hope u can go bing drinking lol. and i think i should drink at 18 insted of 21.

And english so not all have yellow teeth. Heck Take a look at your selfs. most usa peeps use plastic surgary to make them selfs look better.

and aslo i dont like the food in america then i went to orlando. so if i visit new look i may be able to visit TescoÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s haha! and get some nice chocolate.&quot;

Your parent&#039;s should send you away to a boarding school, because clearly, your present pastoral English education is not working out for you.  And by-the-way, when visiting Orlando, the quality of food is not the first mentioned, especially since, WE, are in NYC, which is the subject matter.  If your going to add your two pence, keep it within the topic of discussion please and use spell check and formed sentences dear.</description>

		<description>no point in naming the area &quot;Little England&quot; aside from the marketing and potential tourist trap that can form there.  Lets not forget neighborhoods get their nicknames like all things get their nicknames, through traits and features unique to them that catagorize them.  even so not all areas recieve names and are still known for their populous/traits non the less.  Washington Heights in uptown manhattan, has been known to have a larger dominican population than the dominican republic itself, but its not &quot;Little D.R.&quot;.  so do 3 stores merrit a name change? no, leave greenwich village, as greenwich village. besides its all ready a well known new york location as greenwich village.</description>

		<description>Mike said: &quot;You have a little Italy etc (donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t see many Italians in Iraq or Afghanistan), even less Irish (and there is more Irish in NY than in Dublin.&quot;

Seriously Mike, the Armed Forces of the United States are full of Americans of Irish and Italian decent. Now I know most &quot;real&quot; Irish and Italians cringe when an American describes themselves as &quot;Irish&quot; or &quot;Italian&quot; but F them. If I described myself as English it would sound silly and the &quot;real&quot; english would snigger. Then again, like I said, in my own very wide-ranging experience, the average Englishman and woman  without a doubt dislikes and looks down on Americans. No question about it. Why the two countries are allegedly such close allies is weird. Certainly the US pulls the weight by far militarily so I&#039;m not sure what it really gains from it other than a foothold in Europe.</description>

		<description>Die Hard New Yorker said:

&quot;I am an American and 25 year Greenwich Village resident who grew up in London. To be American in England was not welcome at all. And now you want to rename my hood over a couple shops? Live here a for a few decades and learn to love it for what it is. The British Empire reborn i think.&quot; 

I couldn&#039;t have put it better myself. I&#039;m half English and my mom was born and raised in London and the English are some of the most nasty,bigoted and gratuitously anti-American people on earth (not my mom who&#039;s wildly patriotic.)Why some Americans put up with their crap is beyond me...low self esteam??? I never, ever hesitate to put a loud mouth obnoxious englishman or woman in their place. They have zero business looking down their nose at Americans or anyone else.</description>

		<description>&quot;Little Poland&quot; is Greenpoint in Brooklyn.
Get off at the Bedford stop on the L line.

And to the Hong Kong journalist,
there is no single train to take a person to every one of the aforementioned neighborhoods; however, many say that the 7 train is the &quot;International Express&quot;.

Here are some helpful sites:

Good luck with the article.</description>

		<description>Since when do the British &quot;help&quot; us? I consider it more like riding on our coat tails. Furthermore, opinion polls show that the average British subject is more anti-American than the average Middle Easterner. A recent poll conducted in Britain showed that a mere 22% look favorably upon Americans. On the other hand, an Iran poll showed that 75% of Iranians look favorably upon Americans. (BTW, the Iranian who conducted the poll was jailed for the outcome.)</description>
