what if we sat down when your Queen came by? i was stationed in the UK and manners never go out of fashion. no matter what Nation i’ve lived in, i respected their culture.
I think it's funny this comes up amidst the hype over Brexit. If nationalism is such a dirty word, then why don't we take a look at the differences between European nations and the US. Whereas in Europe and the UK you're mostly nation states - the same cultures who've inhabited those lands since the beginning of time. The US was taken from the indigenous, colonized by Europeans, a new form of government established that (let's face it) has done a much better job of adapting multiple seemingly incompatible cultures from all over the world, and it continues to check and balance itself to attempt to be more respectful and inclusive. Being "first generation American" makes a person more fascinating to those whose families came maybe only a hundred or two hundred years ago. And yet all of those different people from all walks of life all over the world have stood and saluted, pledged allegiance, sacrificed their lives and struggled against discrimination to defend not just the dirt, but the collection of different-cultured people whom that flag represents. It's only when people come beating down the door demanding handouts that we get pissy and defensive. But I think even you guys can understand where we're coming from when, even after you've accommodated sharia law and banned all your guns and knives, you're still having major issues with terrorism and acid attacks in neighborhoods consisting primarily of immigrants. Call it triggered. I prefer to call it setting the record straight.

Well, they only mentioned one by name, which was Outback. Imagine going to an "American" chain restaurant in Australia, then complaining that it it wasn't American, and then complaining that ALL Australian restaurants were so rude as to be neither American or British in nature. They basically did the inverse here. American restaurants are not themed national chains. American restaurants are the local and regional restaurants.
That hasn’t generally been my experience. I’ve often had the wait staff pick up my plate without asking. It’s one thing that bothers me. I feel that they should always ask before they take your plate away. I’ve often had wait staff ask first, of course, which is great, but I think the number of times they don’t ask has outnumbered the times they do ask. I’m British, BTW, but I have lived in the Los Angeles area for the last 24 years.
@@holly._.1 you don't have to but it's to show your respect if you have any. you could sit down and be a ignorant asshole? or you can show honor and respect to a country's soldiers for fighting for the country/dying.
Actually for people who are mixed with, Cherokee Indian, Irish, German, an Dutch, the word “An” is a word. My Grandma says “An” instead of “And” so I do the same to talk faster and type faster.
You probably won't see this but it needs to be explained. We have (virtually) no restrictions on speech to prevent the government from being able to restrict speech against itself. The moment you allow the government to subjectively ban certain speech it can ban speech that speaks out against the government itself. The Bill of Rights is ALL about preventing the rise of a tyrannical government, y'all can thank yourselves for that.
Some areas of rhe UK use a glottal stop for the t, most notable are cockneys. In Derbyshire we pronounce the T. Nearly all the UK omits the r sound, and English is non rhotic with the exception of the West country (Devon, Cornwall , Dorset and Somerset) which is a rhotic dialect.
I'm a bit embarrassed to be British after listening to the section on the National Anthem and freedom. It was funny up until then, but that crossed a line. Those aspects of America are closely linked to war, persecution and liberty, and it's rather akin to bad-mouthing Remembrance ceremonies in England. Don't do it.
Thank you, someone I see that isn’t American standing up for us who got offended in America, yea it was funny saying it was annoying with accents and all cause even Americans have problems understanding each other with living in the east, west, north, and south, but when he brought up America’s patriotism, I feel like they offended the whole country, it’s just called respect
I am from TN where patriotism, the pledge, and anthem is shoved down your throat from day one. My Grandfather, an Army vet and Police Officer, once told me the first time he went to war was because he didn't have a choice because of the Draft. The second time was because he volunteered because he felt his previous experience would help keep the newer soldiers alive. He believed that America means freedom whether that means standing for the pledge and anthem or not. He fought to save lives, end tyranny and suffering. He lost his jaw in the process and had some brain damage because of it too. Being proud of your country doesn't mean you are obligated to go insane over issues like this when there are more important things in our lives to focus on.
Amen, brother. My uncle fought in Vietnam and had a Purple Heart, and my dad was going to fight in the early Afghanistan war but he had children and since his father wasn’t there for him he didn’t want to do the same. But I hope to join my self. I’m from SoCal and my dad always taught me to be patriotic and to love my country. We live in the best place to be. What he said about the pledge and about the national anthem was very disrespectful. We stand and sing in honor of the fallen. God bless America. 🇺🇸
I'm an American on vacation in the UK right now. Every brit around me talks louder than my entire family, so I guess I disagree with one of your claims.
Even sprinter Usain Bolt of Jamaica reprimanded a reporter when the reporter kept interviewing him during the playing of a national anthem being played in the background. That's class. That's respect.
There’s a difference between stating facts and being straight up rude. The national anthem is showing respect for our flag and people who serve our country. You could’ve made this video without rude remarks such as those.
charles newton: guerrillas AND the French (The revolution wouldn't have been successful without help from the French) {the enemy of my enemy is my friend}
Patriotism is what joins our country, since we come from different cultures/countries. Patriotism is our glue, whereas other countries are joined by culture. “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin.
Yes, just what I thought too. Same goes for most of Europe. They better hang on to their individual cultures or they will lose everything. Stop the invasion of Europe, it won't turn out well.
Perhaps it's your age that makes you question patriotism. Being American, I would still stand for your Queen and your flag like your mother did for ours. It shows respect and most of all it shows solidarity. Which is still very important in this world.
Kelly Sheridan - I too would stand for God Save The Queen. To Americans this is a respectful gesture. But, under no circumstances would any monarch in the world be offered the top of my head (curtsy, bowing, or laying face down on the floor). An appropriate smile, handshake and a slight nod is the most any American is suppose to do when meeting monarchy. It originates from our break from England and anything to do with Queens, Kings, and royal anything. When I see an American bow or curtsy to a Queen or King, I want to throw up as they haven't a clue we are not suppose to bow or curtsy nor the reasons why we don't.
I asked my Grandmother if she ever thought of going back to Hungary, she said “ never I kiss the ground I walk on, America’s the greatest country why would I”. One of her proudest days was when she became an American Citizen. She came to NYC at 21 in 1907, speaking not a word of English. We Americans laugh at you, because you will never experience the pure joy of love of County and gratitude of FREEDOM that radiated from someone like my Grandmother.
I’m from America. Not only that, I’m active duty military. I clicked on this video thinking it was going to funny annoying things that we do. Patriotism isn’t one of them. Many have came home in n a flag draped coffin. We respect and honor our fallen and living soldiers. We would stand for your anthem to out of respect
I’m from the USA and most Americans don’t know the words either but we stand as a sign of respect for our flag and all it represents especially the brave men and women who came home draped in one. We also stand for “Oh Canada” at games when we play a team from our neighbors. It doesn’t mean we are pledging allegiance to Canada, just showing respect.
I think this is naive an they are trying to be "posh" and sophisticated etc. I've traveled to the UK several times. In the UK Elizabeth II is a figure held sacred. Most Brits are able the sing God Save the Queen, but the anthem most prefer to sing the most seemingly is 'Rule Brittania'. Ever hear the lyrics to the song? I'm sure most Brits wouldn't care to admit it's the preferred anthem because it would be politically incorrect to do so.
Alexandra Perry I didn’t know this happened in the US but if I come to America I will definitely stand for your national anthem, everyone should respect each other :)
The 2 phrases that stuck out to me "I'd rather be safe than free..." and "People with those thoughts dont deserve to live, and should be put in jail." Sigh... the larger picture still eludes you.
Thank you for bringing this up. It also seems like certain groups of people absolutely get away with "hate speech" in their country. Hate speech only applies to certain people and certain groups. They do not get it. At all.
@@cjgem80 ""Hate speech" is what WE (the "in" group) say it is." The term has an Orwellian sort of ring to it, that I have always found rather disturbing. It's ideal for use in propaganda, because it sounds like you know what it means, but it doesn't have an exact definition, or if it does, the definition itself is vague and subject to interpretation. Joel and Lia can be entertaining, but sometimes they, get rather vapid.
It’s just respectful to stand for any country’s anthem. I have stood for Canada’s anthem and Britain’s. Doesn’t mean I have any allegiance to that country I just do it out of respect
Kennedy9614 Same, and I think it’s weird to think it’s weird or to refuse to do it. The closest comparison I can think of is that I’m not Catholic but I still do all the standing/kneeling/sitting out of respect when I go to a wedding or something of the like.
Kennedy9614 I would too lol but I’m brown and if I didn’t do it someone would think I’m a terrorist or I’d get beaten up *in USA not uk most people here don’t have that kind of perception ( I’m from the uk)
There's a difference if perspective. We don't consider it rude not to stand for another country's national anthem. In the rare occasions they get played here (international athletics events, I guess?) it would be considered rude to expect people to stand for another country's national anthem. Sit quietly, let the people who want it have their moment, but don't get involved
@@lara3271 my family does whenever they go to sports or concerts out there. It's the respectable thing to do when you're in a country hosting an event you're attending.
Just because you are not American does not mean you can not respect the National Anthem of another country. When I'm in another country and they play their National Anthem I always at least stand up and not talk. People were probably just looking at you as some ungrateful Americans.
Yeah--if it's a country you respect, then show respect! It wouldn't be appropriate to pledge ALLEGIANCE to it, though. But if I was in England for a Make Britain Great Again rally (you DO have those, right?), you better believe I'd sing your national anthem or wave your flag or whatever! Happily!
TWO EXAMPLES OF THIS LOST GENERATION. ILL BET THE GRANDPARENTS FEEL QUITE DIFFERENT.

They are millenial twats. I would enjoy singing the US National Anthem. So would many Brits. We would probably laugh sarcastically afterwards because sarcasm is our national sport.
Like the loud thing! Some of us are loud yes, but to be fair I'm American and have and American accent, and I talk so quiet my teacher gets all up in my face like, "What?!?"
1. "I love your accent!" Americans do say that. Changing accents to sounds like Brits- I've seen it. 2. "Dont take someone's food before everyone is finished." Servers DO take plates as each individual finishes eating. 3. "Inability to use indoor voices." We ARE loud people. Restaurants can be crazy loud. Go out anywhere. 4. "Overzealous patriotism". That's also true. We do throw our patriotism in everything. Schools, games, everything. We are scolded for not being patriotic enough. You have to have seen all the #takeaknee outrage. 5. "Assume only country freedom of speech." Just listen to them again. They don't have freedom of speech because hate speech is punishable by prison. Which of these are untrue?
@@chassiechapmond4574 I'm an American and every one of those things don't apply to me. I've never complemented a Britan on their accent or tried a Britan accent, I've never even been a waiter, I don't speak loud, I'm not full of patriotism and, well, the last point even they admit that they don't have true freedom of speech.
@@cidguy If you think this does NOT apply to Americans, I highly suggest you get out in the US and find some experience, kid. Wait some tables. Meet a few Brits. Get familiar with the people in your own back yard. Spoiler: They're loud & obnoxious. You'll be trained to clear away those plates as soon as they've finished. Shout to the masses "FUCK THE USA" and just watch the patriotism flow (although I suggest you get some armor first- ask them Brits. Bet they know where to find some!). Americans are everything these people say they are. There are 330 million citizens of the USA. You, one solitary person, are NOT "Americans". You're just one. 1/330,000,000.
I get it, you're british and you find the national anthem unnecessary but keep in mind that america was literally built on immigrants. Patriotism is the one big thing that binds and connects us together, if not for that then you'll just have so many different ethnic groups fighting each other. Additionally we just have a lot of respect for our soldiers, so singing the national anthem is way of saying thank you for your service.
+Megan Goodhart I agree, I guess I didn't word that correctly. What I mean is that we bond over the fact that we're so different. A better way to explain is basically america is just one melting pot
Patriotism is absolutely what binds us: not when it manifests as blind nationalism, but rather the common belief of a core group of ideals. This is %100 why a nation of such differing cultures can stand, and why we haven’t, at least on the whole, degraded into tribalism.
THE SPECIAL PATATO well our national anthem is about the queen so that’s probably why most people don’t care. Our way of saying thank you is through charities or like army/ soldier fun day thingies hard to explain really
I went to a cute café today (I'm American) and had a very loud group of people behind us. It was annoying, but their laughs was so contagious that everyone within hearing distance (The entire café) was laughing too! 😂
I think the difference is that many people don't realize is they don't necessarily just mean loud in volume but say we will talk on the subway with a stranger or strike up conversations in public they don't do that. They are very reserved and give you weird looks if you do that lmao
like we aren't loud they just usually arent use to speaking in certain places that are usually loud for us - I think its lovely about Americans thats why we are more patriotic because we love our fellow Americans because we actually get to know them even if they are strangers on a subway or IHOP its easy to strike up convo
I didn't hate this video. But when they started talking about the national anthem I got big mad. The reason we do it is to respect the men and women fighting for our country. Not so we can stand there and brag about our freedom
Most people in Britain are Proud to be British but we don't Believe in empty gestures like standing and putting your hand on your heart which is merely a pump for blood
Um I’m American and we stand for our flag because tons of people have died for this country, people who have built it up from the ground from nothing. Just show some respect.
Lol. The American flag 🇺🇸 is strong ppl are afraid of it. We are proud and blessed. Also big ups for mentioning all the troops who died in the process of America 👍
@@jamieokeeffe2278 if my prayer a person actually means a personal affirmation then no problem but if meant in the religious sense to a magical sky fairy then it’s self delusion.
I think it's funny how rude you think it is to take an empty plate from someone who's done eating but think nothing of sitting with your arms crossed with a sour look on your face during a national anthem. I would stand for any country's anthem as a sign of respect for the place I was visiting. No one's demanding you take a pledge but please at least be respectful!
I never even stand for my own national anthem, this may be controversial but I have a verry sour attitude to the queen and she is the last person that needs to be saved! She has all that money she can get what she wants when there are little kids dying in poor countries
I'm a Brit and I also never stand for my national anthem (except if it's a sport's ceremony). Most Brits also don't know their own national anthem, except for the first verse. It gets quite offensive/imperialist/anti-Scottish as it goes on. It's safe to say Brits usually do unto others as to themselves. If we mock others, we also mock ourselves, etc. It sounds like you do too. We all judge base on our cultural lens.
I'm an American, I know the words to God Save the Queen, why don't you? Standing for another country's national anthem is just a matter of respect. One time when I was in London, I was enjoying a concert in a park. I was sitting down resting my back against a tree. At one point there was a long drum roll. Other people began standing up, I did not know why, but the instant I heard the first notes of God save the Queen I jumped to my feet and would not have even imagined doing other wise. I began to sing until I realized no one else was doing so. I found that strange.
I don't stand for any anthem, it's just a song. Honestly if I'm watching a sports game of some kind I'd rather them skip the formality bullcrap and start the game life's too short to waste time on pointless shows of fake patriotism.
Before the US had an official national anthem, one of the unofficial national anthems, and there were a couple was "My Country 'Tis of Thee," which is sung to the tune of "God Save the Queen," and in a way, is a sort of parody of it, It concluded with the words, "Long may our land be bright, With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King!" In other words the only king or monarch we recognize is God Now, someone will try to hijack and sidetrack the discussion into one about religion, but that misses the point. We threw their national anthem back at them, with anti-monarchy lyrics. Now, if this song had been adopted as the official US national anthem, which it could have been, imagine a presidential state visit to the UK, and the British Military band greeting him (or her) having to play the tune for "God Save the Queen," for the President of the United States. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_(My_Country,_%27Tis_of_Thee)
Alisabeth DiFilippo it really just depends where in Britain your from and how your brought up, I am quite a quiet person because I’ve lived in small villages most of my life but I’ve met allot of ‘chavs’ from proper city’s who are quite loud
I can explain the taking empty plates away! It’s not just for the customer so they won’t have an empty plate in front of them, the biggest reason is because it helps the server not have to carry as much at the end if they clean as they go. We call it “pre-bussing”. I actually get in trouble at work if I don’t do it because it makes everyone’s work load harder at the end both servers and bussers (bussers are the people that clean and reset the table after someone eats)
Also, I am totally blind person and sometimes I spill stuff on the table or at the edge of the plate and I don’t want that on my clothing. So I really appreciate if the server asks if they can take the plate away that way I know the space in front of me is clean.
We don't even remember our own so why bother.btw I heard you were pretty much forced to sing your anthem because if you didn't you would be hated by your peers. is this true and if not why would the American that said so of felt this way?
Speaking as an American, I do agree that there are many countries in the world that are free, not just my own country. However, I would not agree that "every country is free." There are some countries which are ruled by tyrants and dictators. Just throwing that out there.
Maybe that is the case. Legally speaking, free speech is in the constitution, amendments ect. But, that doesn't negate the fact that there are other free countries in the world, though it may not be legally written down.
Legally speaking matters, it has to be written in law. If it's not then it will get stifled. They don't even have freedom of the press, which just breeds corruption.
Right, we do have freedom of the press. But that's a slippery slope. With the freedom of the press, the press also has the freedom to twist facts, or be biased - which could also breed corruption.
That's why freedom of speech/press is important so people can call out those twisted facts and bias, otherwise you have the government controlling the media and spreading a false reality, like russia and china.
Giancarlos Benitez Imagine going to fight for another country during a war, it’s kinda a disrespect to your own. So swearing yourself to the flag and the values of that country is directly opposing your own country
@@lacari0805 but, standing respectfully for a pledge isnt nearly as deep as going to war against your own country. And they arent even pledging themselves?
@@Yopiwastaken It’s still further across the line than just watching. It’s an element of participation and for some reason Americans have a problem with someone not following their twisted social standards
I can appreciate your point of view and maybe 10 years ago I may have laughed with you. But since I've been living away from the US in a very restrictive, highly-monitored country for the past 10 years, I can say these little "annoying" things you mention are a blessing. The concept of freedom is so meaningless until it's taken away from you in a variety of ways you wouldn't even think about until you actually experience it.
Yep. I'm a Canadian who moved to the U.S. ten years ago and I actually cringe thinking about even having to go back there for conferences. Even though I have family there, I cannot bring myself to lose what I have so blissfully gained.
We had to fight you guys twice to gain independence. Damn right we're proud of our country. At hockey games we stand for the Canadian national anthem and some may sing it, it's a beautiful song. The hand on the heart is for ours.
I used to want to visit your country .... if they are all like you, would prefer not to visit . That we are patriotic ... sorry your just jealous your tied to an antiquated monarchy... so keep laughing. Proud to be an American, with our hand over our heart . You have never experienced love for your country. Pity you!
Lol most Brits don't know the national anthem... We are very unpatriotic actually. That's probably why we like to diss other countries and cultures for fun. Cos we don't actually have any pride in our own country. Believe it or not, but the most common jokes you'll hear Brits telling each other in everyday life, is actually just making fun of England and our people and culture and especially our WEATHER lol
@@jonghan9795 I am proud and here goes God save our gracious queen God save our noble queen God save our queen. Send her victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the queen.
i'm Sorry but I'm as British as you and whatever country I find myself in if the National Anthem is played I stand up with everybody else. I may not sing along but only as I may not know the words but I will stand up just the same. It's called being polite showing respect.
Not all of us Americans are loud. You’re basing it off of you being in a restaurant. Maybe go around more Americans then base your opinions off that. Standing for the flag is not something everyone does and it’s a sign of respect for our country, how about ask what’s going on instead of saying we are doing too much. And we don’t sing our national anthem in school, what is said at school is different from what’s at the national games. We don’t assume we are the only country with freedom of speech, like I said please ask Americans what they feel instead of assuming or asking one person. You think all Americans are like this but we are not and most of these are just assumptions.
every time i’ve heard an american they’ve basically been shouting and my sister always brings it up to me and gets annoyed by it, also some american school do the pledge of allegiance and most know it by heart. i know this because i have american friends.
The reason why they take your plates right away is because American waiters get paid by tips so they want to rush you and get as many tables as possible while waiters in Europe are paid by the hour so they don’t mind waiting for everyone to finish
Actually, no, they don't. If you didn't know it, British people are some of the most spineless people going nowadays. Get this. If I were to sit uncomfortable close to this guy in the video, on a bus, he would take it. He would prolly Vlog about it but then and there, he would do nothing. If I squeezed closer, he would sigh and maybe huff. If I came closer, he would clam up and say nothing. Brits hate public spaces. They hate the outdoors because people are out there. If I sat next to his girl on the bus and man spread all over the place, to the point where she was leaning sideways in her seat and I was taking up three seats worth of space, nothing. Nothing would be said. This goes for London, at least. I grew up in Canada and I have family in Britain. They told me all the things I could get up to and get away with that really annoy people in London. But, they wont do a fucking thing about it but cry for hours to a loved one when they get home. Anyways. I got there and I, being a strapping teen, tried out some of the things with my uncle who lived there. We got on a bus and I leaned over and started to read the book a guy was reading out loud. He cringed and kind of hunched to hide the book from my view. I leaned over his shoulder and continued to read. I did this for about five minutes and would look at him to see if he would do or say anything. Nothing. He was like a terrified, sweaty robot. It got to the point where I would show off with my British cousins and we would get on the tube. I would walk down the busy aisle and snap my fingers at the biggest guy in a seat. Boom. He would stand up and let me sit. I would do it for the two cousins that were with me, with the same result. I probably could have cleared half the people there out of their seats, before one person said anything against it. I could walk off the platform and turn around in the train door and say, 'Nah' and people would move to the other doors to board the train. Sometimes, I would walk super slowly with a swagger up the stairs from the tube. Not one person said anything to me. My uncle told me that it is because British people want to seem so polite, that even when you are being impolite, they wont say anything against it because that would not be polite. Weird, right? The ultimate was accidentally nudging people and then looking at them hard. They would look at me, smile and say, 'Sorry'. So bizarre. I know that I was being an absolute asshole, that's a fact. But, as an adult, I find myself, more or less, thinking on those people I 'tried out' and I have nothing but pity for them now. Cattle doesn't begin to describe the culture I witnessed in that city. All that said, there are some hard, hard people there. I had a few chances to tangle and then hang out with a few. Turns out that a guy that will swing back at a group of guys in London is a rare and sought after thing. I found myself hanging out at night with some of what Londoners would call impolite characters.
Me being an American it is very disrespectful to say anything about our flag... my grandfathers fought for that flag, died for that flag, so yes we stand up!! We are Americans, we stick together, we celebrate our country, our freedom, and our found fathers who lost their lives for this country....
haha i was waiting for this patriotic comment, our grandfathers didn’t fight for your land so we don’t really have to sing the national anthem with you.
@ThoseTwoBrits1 no really. @grahamedwardss6581 is right, though..by the way how old were y'all when y'all made this video..??? 12 yr plus cus y'all sure did act like it And how y'all tell us not to be triggerd but then y'all f*cking sit there and kept clowning about it??? And another thing you came to america If you don't like the way we serve here at our restaurant Then go back to your f*cking country you don't see us American come to your country and complain about how we get served there at y'all restaurants
I've been around the world and sailed the seas. I kiss the ground in gratitude that I dont live in some of the shitholes that are supposed countries where life is cheap and freedom only comes with death. Being LOUD is the least of our concerns.
We are free to be loud in Europe too, but it is plain old rude. I have been living in the US for 10 years and been traveling around the world and I can spot an American because they always want their presence to be known.
I'm British and I think the American Patriotism is great! My boyfriend and I went to Florida a few years ago, and we thought the positivity was endearing. We also loved how they celebrated their armed forces.
I love the UK, I find the whole culture enchanting. I can't even imagine coming up with a whole list of things that annoy me about Brits or any culture really. Except maybe the habit common to so many Europeans of instantly having an extensive list of pet peeves about other cultures (mainly Americans).
For me it’s probably just getting used to the different vocab lol. Especially chips, fries, and crips. Also erasers are called rubbers in the uk but rubber means condoms in the us lmao
Oh trust me . In another video they swapped around the nationalities with a lot of Amercains agreeing with them and being quiet smug with the " bless your hearts" .
I agree. If I was in a different country and they played their anthem, I would do what is appropriate meaning if they stand or bow or whatever, I would do it cause I am in their country and want to show respect. It has nothing to do with pledging your loyalty to anyone.
Saying your family should sit during the American national anthem is like saying I should sit down immediately after The Star-Spangled Banner ends and I hear “Oh Canada” at a hockey game...rude.
Well, my volume is down to 75% for these two and so I'm going to disagree with them. As for the national anthem - I personally would stand for Britain's anthem because I respect and admire the Queen. Call it a matter of individual choice.
They don't know what they are talking about. Have her go to Iran or Iraq and tell me as a woman she's free to walk around in daisy duke shorts and a halter top.
Add Cuba, add Venezuela to North Korea... former City State of Hong Kong is fighting back singing the US’s National Anthem, carrying American flags to p!$$ off the commies! Iranian folks have more respect for our flag and Israel’s flag the Regime has painted on the floor to be stepped on to be disrespected! But, their youth respectfully stepped around the flags! Those are signs of respect. End of my rant. Peace
T Erhhh ... because as a former Cuban, now an American I see Cubans and Central Americans dying on the high seas and jungles to get here... this land of Freedom! Viva President Trump!
Letting your government determine which kind of speech is offensive and thus a crime will only be "safe" until your government decides _your_ speech is offensive and thus a crime.
What really bothered me about this video is that you are saying hateful things about our patriotism. We do it thanking and giving respect to those who fight for us and who gave us freedom from you. And if you have a problem with keep it to your self because that is disrespecting us which you later on said that people in Britain go to jail for.
Freedom of speech is about diversity of thought and the greatest argument wins. We in the USA don’t shut down debate but rather we expose it with truth..
I was raised in the Southern U.S. Loudness is regional - you have to keep in mind the sheer size of the United States. I cannot stand the loudness of people in certain regions of this country either. And they can't understand my accent! Lol! I love my country because it has been so good to me and we have had a good life over here despite financial hardships and going to war to help other countries. And that is not a snide remark, but you do know that we wanted to help Britain even before we got into WWII and before Pearl Harbor. When we are pledge allegiance to the flag, it is to a symbol of a way of life that has been good to us. My understanding is that your national anthem is about one person. Ours is about an ideal. One that we do not always live up to, but we try.
Any culture has LOUD people it's not the accent or language it's the person. Everyone is different. Not all Americans are loud. Not all Brits are this rude haha. I love culture and respect all flags and people.
Even if you’re not a citizen, you’re in that country so it’s just respectful to those people. But remember brits are very secluded people, they aren’t as social as Americans
Yep. I was in Thailand at a bus transit station and they played the National Anthem first thing in the morning. My wife and I stood up and I took my hat off. The Thais were looking at the non-standers very pointedly. It is respect for that country's customs.
Waiters often take plates to rush you along so they can turn the table. Just look at the waiter and ask if they want you to hurry your group along for their next guests' tip? It's not about helping guests to have a clear place setting, even when another course is to be served. They know if they speed up each course they may get another round of tips. It is true that it may be a managerial policy, but ... You can bet they have heard the complaints before and are ignoring and playing nice while violating your sensibilities. And, especially at a NFL football game, it's better to go along and respect your host country. You may be perceived as a Globalist interested in ending American sovereignty. And, you don't need to sing the songs. Love your mum.
Im canadian and my father is a high end restaurant manger.. and he explained to me years ago. YES it is rude to take someone's plate away because it makes the other person or people feel RUSHED... exactly what they said here.
Wait are you talking about the Brits or Muricans because if it's the Muricans you are tall king a bout then I AM POSSED but if it is the Brits then go on enjoy life.
Bullshit... You wouldn't move a muscle to honour the dead fighters of Iran or North Korea, Nor would you stand and cheer Chinese nationalism when you visited Tibet or Uighur provinces... The whole patriotism thing is indoctrinated into you from birth... You are just aping what you have been taught... Frankly it's dangerous to be massively nationalistic in any country including yours, and I wouldn't move a stand up either... because it's absurdly moronic to sing a national anthem that isn't your own... That's why Joel laughed at his mum for doing it so much.....

thanks dude. and this american GREATLY appreciated when the toronto fans finished the american national anthem at that maple leafs vs nashville predators game a few years ago. if the situation were reversed, am embarrassed to say that i would not have been able to do the same with yours'. and i certainly remember when you snuck those americans out of iran in 1979 have a wonderful time defrosting in arizona and florida.
I am American and I think it is so funny that your mom stood and sang the national anthem but just for anyone who isn't from here, if you do come you definitely should stand for the national anthem because not standing would actually be VERY rude😂
Cadence Tish 😂😂Not really because yes your in their country but it doesn't mean you have to stand like if u didnt stand for our national anthem people would not take it out on u and people wouldn't find it 'rude' because its your decision.
America’s national anthem is kinda the song equivalent of the “moment of silence/minute of silence” for soldiers who have fallen in the line of duty, so yeah, it would be seen as incredibly rude to most of the patriotic people born here Edit: Personally, I am fine with people not standing just as long as they are not rude about it or go out of their way to attack of the people who do it. I am also fine with people who want to stand just as long as they are not rude about it or go out of their way to attack people who don’t. I can see both sides of the argument. I apologize if I seemed like a triggered American to those of you reading this, at the time I originally wrote this I couldn’t come up with a better way of phrasing in a “non-triggered” way (it’s incredibly dumb thinking back on it now, I know).
Macertoie Moment of silence? A moment of silence is what it says when you have 2 minutes of silence like Poppy day here in Britain we dont sing the national anthem we have a moment of silence...
Tell me again how the UK has freedom of speech? I am not trying to be a triggered American, I merely wish to point out the incorrect nature of your last point, the UK does not, in fact, have freedom of speech. The UK's practice of fining/arresting people for saying anything is a gross violation of British common law, and it should be mended as soon as possible. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/arrests-for-offensive-facebook-and-twitter-posts-soar-in-london-a7064246.html

I think it's funny this comes up amidst the hype over Brexit. If nationalism is such a dirty word, then why don't we take a look at the differences between European nations and the US. Whereas in Europe and the UK you're mostly nation states - the same cultures who've inhabited those lands since the beginning of time. The US was taken from the indigenous, colonized by Europeans, a new form of government established that (let's face it) has done a much better job of adapting multiple seemingly incompatible cultures from all over the world, and it continues to check and balance itself to attempt to be more respectful and inclusive. Being "first generation American" makes a person more fascinating to those whose families came maybe only a hundred or two hundred years ago. And yet all of those different people from all walks of life all over the world have stood and saluted, pledged allegiance, sacrificed their lives and struggled against discrimination to defend not just the dirt, but the collection of different-cultured people whom that flag represents. It's only when people come beating down the door demanding handouts that we get pissy and defensive. But I think even you guys can understand where we're coming from when, even after you've accommodated sharia law and banned all your guns and knives, you're still having major issues with terrorism and acid attacks in neighborhoods consisting primarily of immigrants. Call it triggered. I prefer to call it setting the record straight.

I don't know what restaurants you've been to here in the U. S. but the wait staff will always ask you if you want your plate removed.
Well, they only mentioned one by name, which was Outback. Imagine going to an "American" chain restaurant in Australia, then complaining that it it wasn't American, and then complaining that ALL Australian restaurants were so rude as to be neither American or British in nature. They basically did the inverse here. American restaurants are not themed national chains. American restaurants are the local and regional restaurants.
That hasn’t generally been my experience. I’ve often had the wait staff pick up my plate without asking. It’s one thing that bothers me. I feel that they should always ask before they take your plate away. I’ve often had wait staff ask first, of course, which is great, but I think the number of times they don’t ask has outnumbered the times they do ask. I’m British, BTW, but I have lived in the Los Angeles area for the last 24 years.

You probably won't see this but it needs to be explained. We have (virtually) no restrictions on speech to prevent the government from being able to restrict speech against itself. The moment you allow the government to subjectively ban certain speech it can ban speech that speaks out against the government itself.

I'm a bit embarrassed to be British after listening to the section on the National Anthem and freedom. It was funny up until then, but that crossed a line. Those aspects of America are closely linked to war, persecution and liberty, and it's rather akin to bad-mouthing Remembrance ceremonies in England. Don't do it.

Thank you, someone I see that isn’t American standing up for us who got offended in America, yea it was funny saying it was annoying with accents and all cause even Americans have problems understanding each other with living in the east, west, north, and south, but when he brought up America’s patriotism, I feel like they offended the whole country, it’s just called respect
I am from TN where patriotism, the pledge, and anthem is shoved down your throat from day one. My Grandfather, an Army vet and Police Officer, once told me the first time he went to war was because he didn't have a choice because of the Draft. The second time was because he volunteered because he felt his previous experience would help keep the newer soldiers alive. He believed that America means freedom whether that means standing for the pledge and anthem or not. He fought to save lives, end tyranny and suffering. He lost his jaw in the process and had some brain damage because of it too. Being proud of your country doesn't mean you are obligated to go insane over issues like this when there are more important things in our lives to focus on.
Amen, brother. My uncle fought in Vietnam and had a Purple Heart, and my dad was going to fight in the early Afghanistan war but he had children and since his father wasn’t there for him he didn’t want to do the same. But I hope to join my self. I’m from SoCal and my dad always taught me to be patriotic and to love my country. We live in the best place to be. What he said about the pledge and about the national anthem was very disrespectful. We stand and sing in honor of the fallen. God bless America. 🇺🇸

That is true I don’t even know my own countries anthem. And I’m American idk how I don’t know it.
Perhaps it's your age that makes you question patriotism. Being American, I would still stand for your Queen and your flag like your mother did for ours. It shows respect and most of all it shows solidarity. Which is still very important in this world.
Yes but the British Empire will always haunt every Brit's soul... We still secretly have an empire...

Kelly Sheridan - I too would stand for God Save The Queen. To Americans this is a respectful gesture. But, under no circumstances would any monarch in the world be offered the top of my head (curtsy, bowing, or laying face down on the floor). An appropriate smile, handshake and a slight nod is the most any American is suppose to do when meeting monarchy. It originates from our break from England and anything to do with Queens, Kings, and royal anything. When I see an American bow or curtsy to a Queen or King, I want to throw up as they haven't a clue we are not suppose to bow or curtsy nor the reasons why we don't.
Kelly Sheridan most brits don’t care about the queen
I asked my Grandmother if she ever thought of going back to Hungary, she said “ never I kiss the ground I walk on, America’s the greatest country why would I”. One of her proudest days was when she became an American Citizen. She came to NYC at 21 in 1907, speaking not a word of English. We Americans laugh at you, because you will never experience the pure joy of love of County and gratitude of FREEDOM that radiated from someone like my Grandmother.

I’m from the USA and most Americans don’t know the words either but we stand as a sign of respect for our flag and all it represents especially the brave men and women who came home draped in one. We also stand for “Oh Canada” at games when we play a team from our neighbors. It doesn’t mean we are pledging allegiance to Canada, just showing respect.
Traci Welch We are taught in kindergarten, everyone I know knows it. 😂 Who do you hang out with
every american i know knows that song and im american...
I think this is naive an they are trying to be "posh" and sophisticated etc. I've traveled to the UK several times. In the UK Elizabeth II is a figure held sacred. Most Brits are able the sing God Save the Queen, but the anthem most prefer to sing the most seemingly is 'Rule Brittania'. Ever hear the lyrics to the song? I'm sure most Brits wouldn't care to admit it's the preferred anthem because it would be politically incorrect to do so.
Traci true you dont have to put your hand to your heart and say the pledge, just stand up for respect.
+Traci,
Most Americans don't know the words for the Star Spangled Banner? Our national anthem? What part of America do you live in?
Okay I’m a Brit but it’s disrespectful to not stand for the host country’s national anthem.

It’s just respectful to stand for any country’s anthem. I have stood for Canada’s anthem and Britain’s. Doesn’t mean I have any allegiance to that country I just do it out of respect
Kennedy9614 Same, and I think it’s weird to think it’s weird or to refuse to do it. The closest comparison I can think of is that I’m not Catholic but I still do all the standing/kneeling/sitting out of respect when I go to a wedding or something of the like.
Kennedy9614 I would too lol but I’m brown and if I didn’t do it someone would think I’m a terrorist or I’d get beaten up *in USA not uk most people here don’t have that kind of perception ( I’m from the uk)
There's a difference if perspective. We don't consider it rude not to stand for another country's national anthem. In the rare occasions they get played here (international athletics events, I guess?) it would be considered rude to expect people to stand for another country's national anthem. Sit quietly, let the people who want it have their moment, but don't get involved
When I went to a baseball game in the us I stood for the national anthem because it is respectful but still thought it was super weird and scary .

Yeah--if it's a country you respect, then show respect! It wouldn't be appropriate to pledge ALLEGIANCE to it, though. But if I was in England for a Make Britain Great Again rally (you DO have those, right?), you better believe I'd sing your national anthem or wave your flag or whatever! Happily!

3. "Inability to use indoor voices." We ARE loud people. Restaurants can be crazy loud. Go out anywhere.

If you think this does NOT apply to Americans, I highly suggest you get out in the US and find some experience, kid. Wait some tables. Meet a few Brits. Get familiar with the people in your own back yard. Spoiler: They're loud & obnoxious. You'll be trained to clear away those plates as soon as they've finished. Shout to the masses "FUCK THE USA" and just watch the patriotism flow (although I suggest you get some armor first- ask them Brits. Bet they know where to find some!).

There are 330 million citizens of the USA. You, one solitary person, are NOT "Americans". You're just one. 1/330,000,000.
I get it, you're british and you find the national anthem unnecessary but keep in mind that america was literally built on immigrants. Patriotism is the one big thing that binds and connects us together, if not for that then you'll just have so many different ethnic groups fighting each other. Additionally we just have a lot of respect for our soldiers, so singing the national anthem is way of saying thank you for your service.
+Megan Goodhart I agree, I guess I didn't word that correctly. What I mean is that we bond over the fact that we're so different. A better way to explain is basically america is just one melting pot
Patriotism is absolutely what binds us: not when it manifests as blind nationalism, but rather the common belief of a core group of ideals. This is %100 why a nation of such differing cultures can stand, and why we haven’t, at least on the whole, degraded into tribalism.

I think it's funny how rude you think it is to take an empty plate from someone who's done eating but think nothing of sitting with your arms crossed with a sour look on your face during a national anthem. I would stand for any country's anthem as a sign of respect for the place I was visiting. No one's demanding you take a pledge but please at least be respectful!
Right on!!!
Yeah, the reason we do it is because so many people died for our freedom. Okay thanks for not supporting our freedom.
I never even stand for my own national anthem, this may be controversial but I have a verry sour attitude to the queen and she is the last person that needs to be saved! She has all that money she can get what she wants when there are little kids dying in poor countries
I'm a Brit and I also never stand for my national anthem (except if it's a sport's ceremony). Most Brits also don't know their own national anthem, except for the first verse. It gets quite offensive/imperialist/anti-Scottish as it goes on. It's safe to say Brits usually do unto others as to themselves. If we mock others, we also mock ourselves, etc. It sounds like you do too. We all judge base on our cultural lens.
@@emmaG390 I completely agree!

Lisa Salisbury No one says edzatly trust me it’s just these twats.
I'm an American, I know the words to God Save the Queen, why don't you? Standing for another country's national anthem is just a matter of respect. One time when I was in London, I was enjoying a concert in a park. I was sitting down resting my back against a tree. At one point there was a long drum roll. Other people began standing up, I did not know why, but the instant I heard the first notes of God save the Queen I jumped to my feet and would not have even imagined doing other wise. I began to sing until I realized no one else was doing so. I found that strange.
Not everybody knows them and feels weird standing for something you don't know, would you stand for idk, the Romanian national anthem??
I don't stand for any anthem, it's just a song. Honestly if I'm watching a sports game of some kind I'd rather them skip the formality bullcrap and start the game life's too short to waste time on pointless shows of fake patriotism.
Before the US had an official national anthem, one of the unofficial national anthems, and there were a couple was "My Country 'Tis of Thee," which is sung to the tune of "God Save the Queen," and in a way, is a sort of parody of it, It concluded with the words,
"Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King!"
In other words the only king or monarch we recognize is God Now, someone will try to hijack and sidetrack the discussion into one about religion, but that misses the point. We threw their national anthem back at them, with anti-monarchy lyrics. Now, if this song had been adopted as the official US national anthem, which it could have been, imagine a presidential state visit to the UK, and the British Military band greeting him (or her) having to play the tune for "God Save the Queen," for the President of the United States.

I don’t get offended easily but dang

I can explain the taking empty plates away! It’s not just for the customer so they won’t have an empty plate in front of them, the biggest reason is because it helps the server not have to carry as much at the end if they clean as they go. We call it “pre-bussing”. I actually get in trouble at work if I don’t do it because it makes everyone’s work load harder at the end both servers and bussers (bussers are the people that clean and reset the table after someone eats)
Also, I am totally blind person and sometimes I spill stuff on the table or at the edge of the plate and I don’t want that on my clothing. So I really appreciate if the server asks if they can take the plate away that way I know the space in front of me is clean.
I agree I used at Chili's I was busser
Haha I’ll never apologize for my patriotism, but I would always stand for another countries anthem just as respect.
I would definitely stand as respect as well in another country
We don't even remember our own so why bother.btw I heard you were pretty much forced to sing your anthem because if you didn't you would be hated by your peers. is this true and if not why would the American that said so of felt this way?
khira j that’s not true no one is forced to do anything

I find Jerry Lewis to be in the same category.
Speaking as an American, I do agree that there are many countries in the world that are free, not just my own country. However, I would not agree that "every country is free." There are some countries which are ruled by tyrants and dictators. Just throwing that out there.
Valerie Linares most countries don't have most of our amendments which give free speech ect
Maybe that is the case. Legally speaking, free speech is in the constitution, amendments ect. But, that doesn't negate the fact that there are other free countries in the world, though it may not be legally written down.
Legally speaking matters, it has to be written in law. If it's not then it will get stifled. They don't even have freedom of the press, which just breeds corruption.
Right, we do have freedom of the press. But that's a slippery slope. With the freedom of the press, the press also has the freedom to twist facts, or be biased - which could also breed corruption.
That's why freedom of speech/press is important so people can call out those twisted facts and bias, otherwise you have the government controlling the media and spreading a false reality, like russia and china.
Im so glad your mom was respectful and stood for the national anthem
It’s probably more disrespectful to stand for another country’s anthem
Giancarlos Benitez Imagine going to fight for another country during a war, it’s kinda a disrespect to your own. So swearing yourself to the flag and the values of that country is directly opposing your own country
@@lacari0805 but, standing respectfully for a pledge isnt nearly as deep as going to war against your own country. And they arent even pledging themselves?
@@Yopiwastaken It’s still further across the line than just watching. It’s an element of participation and for some reason Americans have a problem with someone not following their twisted social standards
I can appreciate your point of view and maybe 10 years ago I may have laughed with you. But since I've been living away from the US in a very restrictive, highly-monitored country for the past 10 years, I can say these little "annoying" things you mention are a blessing. The concept of freedom is so meaningless until it's taken away from you in a variety of ways you wouldn't even think about until you actually experience it.
Yep. I'm a Canadian who moved to the U.S. ten years ago and I actually cringe thinking about even having to go back there for conferences. Even though I have family there, I cannot bring myself to lose what I have so blissfully gained.
What country do you live in now? And what is keeping you there?
We had to fight you guys twice to gain independence. Damn right we're proud of our country.
At hockey games we stand for the Canadian national anthem and some may sing it, it's a beautiful song. The hand on the heart is for ours.

Nicky OldfieldDesciple Right. Just showing respect for the country that your visiting.
Not all of us Americans are loud. You’re basing it off of you being in a restaurant. Maybe go around more Americans then base your opinions off that. Standing for the flag is not something everyone does and it’s a sign of respect for our country, how about ask what’s going on instead of saying we are doing too much. And we don’t sing our national anthem in school, what is said at school is different from what’s at the national games. We don’t assume we are the only country with freedom of speech, like I said please ask Americans what they feel instead of assuming or asking one person. You think all Americans are like this but we are not and most of these are just assumptions.
They probably went to the east coast not saying all people from the east coast are loud but they tend to be a bit louder
Jeremiah De La Cruz yes i am very loud and i’m from the East Coast but it depends on what i’m dealing with
every time i’ve heard an american they’ve basically been shouting and my sister always brings it up to me and gets annoyed by it, also some american school do the pledge of allegiance and most know it by heart. i know this because i have american friends.
Sorry but trust me you guys are loud.

The reason why they take your plates right away is because American waiters get paid by tips so they want to rush you and get as many tables as possible while waiters in Europe are paid by the hour so they don’t mind waiting for everyone to finish

Do they know they can ask waiters to not take their plates😂🤨
Actually, no, they don't. If you didn't know it, British people are some of the most spineless people going nowadays. Get this. If I were to sit uncomfortable close to this guy in the video, on a bus, he would take it. He would prolly Vlog about it but then and there, he would do nothing. If I squeezed closer, he would sigh and maybe huff. If I came closer, he would clam up and say nothing. Brits hate public spaces. They hate the outdoors because people are out there. If I sat next to his girl on the bus and man spread all over the place, to the point where she was leaning sideways in her seat and I was taking up three seats worth of space, nothing. Nothing would be said. This goes for London, at least. I grew up in Canada and I have family in Britain. They told me all the things I could get up to and get away with that really annoy people in London. But, they wont do a fucking thing about it but cry for hours to a loved one when they get home. Anyways. I got there and I, being a strapping teen, tried out some of the things with my uncle who lived there. We got on a bus and I leaned over and started to read the book a guy was reading out loud. He cringed and kind of hunched to hide the book from my view. I leaned over his shoulder and continued to read. I did this for about five minutes and would look at him to see if he would do or say anything. Nothing. He was like a terrified, sweaty robot. It got to the point where I would show off with my British cousins and we would get on the tube. I would walk down the busy aisle and snap my fingers at the biggest guy in a seat. Boom. He would stand up and let me sit. I would do it for the two cousins that were with me, with the same result. I probably could have cleared half the people there out of their seats, before one person said anything against it. I could walk off the platform and turn around in the train door and say, 'Nah' and people would move to the other doors to board the train. Sometimes, I would walk super slowly with a swagger up the stairs from the tube. Not one person said anything to me. My uncle told me that it is because British people want to seem so polite, that even when you are being impolite, they wont say anything against it because that would not be polite. Weird, right? The ultimate was accidentally nudging people and then looking at them hard. They would look at me, smile and say, 'Sorry'. So bizarre. I know that I was being an absolute asshole, that's a fact. But, as an adult, I find myself, more or less, thinking on those people I 'tried out' and I have nothing but pity for them now. Cattle doesn't begin to describe the culture I witnessed in that city. All that said, there are some hard, hard people there. I had a few chances to tangle and then hang out with a few. Turns out that a guy that will swing back at a group of guys in London is a rare and sought after thing. I found myself hanging out at night with some of what Londoners would call impolite characters.

And that is not a snide remark, but you do know that we wanted to help Britain even before we got into WWII and before Pearl Harbor. When we are pledge allegiance to the flag, it is to a symbol of a way of life that has been good to us. My understanding is that your national anthem is about one person. Ours is about an ideal. One that we do not always live up to, but we try.

If you don't like the waiter taking your plate then say something
Valdimar Hrafnsson and she was VERY wrong to say how rude it is; it’s NOT rude in the US.
Waiters often take plates to rush you along so they can turn the table. Just look at the waiter and ask if they want you to hurry your group along for their next guests' tip?
It's not about helping guests to have a clear place setting, even when another course is to be served. They know if they speed up each course they may get another round of tips. It is true that it may be a managerial policy, but ...
You can bet they have heard the complaints before and are ignoring and playing nice while violating your sensibilities.
And, especially at a NFL football game, it's better to go along and respect your host country. You may be perceived as a Globalist interested in ending American sovereignty. And, you don't need to sing the songs.

I am also fine with people who want to stand just as long as they are not rude about it or go out of their way to attack people who don’t. I can see both sides of the argument. I apologize if I seemed like a triggered American to those of you reading this, at the time I originally wrote this I couldn’t come up with a better way of phrasing in a “non-triggered” way (it’s incredibly dumb thinking back on it now, I know).
Macertoie Moment of silence? A moment of silence is what it says when you have 2 minutes of silence like Poppy day here in Britain we dont sing the national anthem we have a moment of silence...
Tell me again how the UK has freedom of speech? I am not trying to be a triggered American, I merely wish to point out the incorrect nature of your last point, the UK does not, in fact, have freedom of speech. The UK's practice of fining/arresting people for saying anything is a gross violation of British common law, and it should be mended as soon as possible.

Lance Walker We do have a freedom of speech, especially compared to other countries at least we dont get killed or anything...
And without being awful how would u know what the county is like u know considering ur american? I'm not trying to be rude I'm just putting my point across because I hate people dissing my country
You seem a bit too sure about what speech should be banned. In the U.S we are free to hear ideas that we disagree with.
Exactly, Bennett. Even if I hate someone's point of view they have the right to it and I have a right to disagree. Neither of us should be jailed for it.
*Reads comment then looks at twitter.* You sure about that Bennet?
Here in the UK, we have a real problem with millennials who don't understand the vital necessity of free speech.
We don't have total freedom of speech here, they are a bit clueless.
@Dan Thomas Yes we most certainly do. Very incisive comment.
