Author Topic: What is the best national anthem? [OLD AND CURRENT AND LEAST FAVOURITE]  (Read 2469 times)

I always thought that America's nation anthem was pretty great. It has a neat story behind it too. The British were invading so we made a 50 foot flag, it's like saying "forget you come at me bro" we eventually won that war.

Edit: We didn't win but things basically went to "The way the were before the war"

The Czech Republic's one is pretty bau5.

Americans are Caucasians.

What about the Latin American, African Americans, and Asians that live in the US?

Americans are Caucasians.
I lost it right about here, haha.
Uncle and Dren are probably both American.
Trust idiots to ruin a topic and turn it into a race war.
This is what makes you sound like a butthurt Britcigarette.

It's more of "Why the forget do we want American anyway. This war is pointless. No one will win. Let's just end it now"

Also, on the international scale, America is a rather new country compared to places like England. Yet it has everything. It's a bunch of nations put a lot of stuff into it.
So when Americans say they are great, It's because of what we gave them.
If we didn't and never even considered it up to this point and beyond, it would just be native Americans. Alaska would still belong to Russia. (Fun fact. Alaska belonged to Russia at one point. It was sold to a wealthy American and then they found valuable resources)

In most things to do with countries you'll find someone from the US talking about how much better there country is. Back off.

You'll find someone from most countries doing that

I'm talking about the average citizen of the US that isn't black.
Asians come from Asia. Latin Americans come from... Uhhh.
Latavia?

that's why it sounds uneven

the war of 1812 was stalemate, albeit it showed the world that we can stand eye to eye with a superpower and not win but not lose either
(of course, however, britain was also busy with the gays french)

The majority are American.

Our country loving sucks seriously, so does your's. Briton is barely better off.

Latin Americans come from... Uhhh.
Latavia?

Central and South America

So Britain gave America  a bunch of stuff, huh?

They also treated Americans like stuff and King George pushed them into war, as much pride as a king could have. The was wasn't pointless, maybe you should go read a history book or two, what they were doing in Britain was dumb and you know it. Alaska was bought, so what?

No, you back off, I never hear any of my friends boast about how great America is, or anyone else for that matter. Foreigners always use this as an excuse to argue, but it's never true.
