A place that has been stereotyped because of about a fifth of the population and to us that is pretty unfair. We are not all Chavs and don't all have manky teeth. I have never met anyone with disgusting teeth and I have lived in england all my life.
We don't all drink tea all day or speak posh, but we also don't all go round starting fights either and talk like a chav but can speak like a civilized person and sort out arguments in a sensible manner.
And if it wasn't for the English, Football wouldn't have been invented neither would Rugby. We are proud of our football team as its our national sport, and who isn't proud of that?
And we also have some of the best actor/actresses and singers in the world at the moment.
Why are you basing your opinion on what you have heard but not experienced. If you go to England it is nothing like you think it is, its a very civilized place where not every one started fights in the street but neither do they all start drinking tea.

The most amazing country in the world. Beat down the pussys that call themsevles French. And leaves a lasting pride of being English even though your family has been in America since 1632.
The pride of having your heritage from England lasts forever.

An old (but not ancient), diverse (mongrel) country in the British isles, which like everywhere else in the world has both a glorious history(industrialisation, first real democracy, first country to seperate church and state,ending atlantic slave trade, darwin,newton etc) and a shamefull history (the empire, suppresion of wales,scotland+ireland,starting the atlantic slave trade,not declaring war on hitler about 7 years earlier.)
and like everywhere else the population largley consists of relatively open minded friendly enough people trying to carry on with their lives and enjoy themselves, but gets let down by some narrowminded bastards i.e chavs who thankfully are seen by the majority for what they are i.e scum of the earth.
. english people drink ludicrous amounts of tea, which is fine as it can help (slightly) prevent various cancers forming
.the only english people who drink warm beer are alcoholics who go to "real ale festivals".
.english did indeed invent a lot of sports, and it's perfectly true that english teams rarely win, this is generally not due to crapness, but more to do with the modern english nation not caring too much about winning,we view taking part and enjoyement being what counts, this viewpoint is translated in the national teams performances.
.english people are slightly racist towards french people and vice versa, this is merely a neighbourly thing, when push comes to shove we love our european friends.
.the english monarchy are inbred,stupid+a drain on taxes, but on the other hand, all capitalist countries have a slight class system, we just give ours titles, also the royal family generate enourmous amounts of tourism+therefore money,only my gran watches the queens speech at christmas. so its win win
.english people dont think of all americans are fat,stupid,lazy etc, america is still seen as a great place to visit,and a source of some great music and ideas eg. jazz, blues, rock+roll, hip hop, the hippy peace movement, bill hicks; we merely worry that the far right christians (who we hate) seem to be gaining political power+control over the nation e.g. george w bush, the temporary banning of teaching darwinism in certain schools,the (generally) complacent tv media owned by business men with an agenda. etc etc.
.england is not plagued by chavs, and every western country+im assuming all countries, have a section of then allienated youth which frustrated with their social situation tend towards violance and drug addiction ALL countries have chavs of one description or another.
.england gave the world monty pythons flying circus and reddwarf.
.make no mistake england is not bush's biatch, blair is, we the english people do not agree with the illegal occupation of iraq+the obvious thieving of oil that is happening there.
.english people despise blair, but the other choices at previous elections have been sub standard untill now.
.many other people have posted increadibly rude and racist definitions about england, fuck you! you either never came here, went to a shitty area if you did, or are mentally disadvantaged, grow up.
.All in all a nice place so long as you don't mind the rain.
england doesn't equal britain
uk= a lie

I could go on and on about how great it is and tell you all about our Bulldog sprit. But I will just say that is the greatest place on Earth and that London is it greatst city.

Terribly difficult to some up briefly, so short and sweet:
One of the greatest nations ever.
Has an outstandingly extensive and fascinating history.
Once controlled virtually the whole world.
Has one of the most amazingingly diverse and exciting capitals in the world.
The English have played a significant role in the development of the arts and sciences throughout the globe.
Thanks to the legacy of the British Empire, the English language is now the world's unofficial lingua franca, while English common law is also the foundation of legal systems throughout the English-speaking countries of the world.
England has a long and rich musical history.
England has remained a central figure of literacy excellence throughout the past few centuries, notably Romanticism and Modernists.
Sir Winston Churchill, Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare and Charles Darwin- some of the most outstanding Englishmen.
Royal motto (French): Dieu et mon droit
(Translated: "God and my right")
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
William Shakespeare
Richard II (Act 2, Scene 1)

Officially the greatest nation on the face of this Earth. Often attacked by other nations due to its superiority, England is the beacon for pretty much everything great that has happened over the past 1000 years. England owned most of the World not long ago (aided by Scotland and Wales, see arse licks and beg friends) and jealousy from other nations is still rife. Most caucasian Americans are of English descent, and should be damn proud of that fact. The status of England has admittedly recently become a bit of a laughing stock due to grotesque levels of illegal immigration, political correctness, people scared to speak up against left wing twats, and ignorance of greatness.
Ahmed: I'd love to move to England, but I'd really like to see high crime levels, incredible obesity rates, low life expectancy, extremely cold weather, and a language which I couldn't understand if I was there for 50 years, where shall I go?
Egbert: Scotland.
Teacher: Bobby, how do you spell 'perfection'?
