@@erickpoorbaugh6728 In the states Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day but was later changed in 1954 to cover all veterans from all of our wars. My neighbor back home actually fought in WWI and had a newspaper with the headline "War is over, Armistice has been Signed!" When he died, my mom got that newspaper and I believe it is still in our house today.

The "constitution" part of the UK's "constitutional monarchy" merely means a series of non-statutory traditions adopted to promote the supremacy of the Parliament, and the Government sanctioned by it, over the monarch, buttressed by a few key laws (which of course can be altered or abolished by the Parliament). Even the courts don't know what they're doing.

Re: Free Speech - The United States is the only country whose constitution explicitly confers a right of free speech and whose legal system places such strong emphasis on that right. For example, "hate speech" is generally protected under the US Constitution, whereas in the legal systems of other developed countries (and much of international law), the speaker's right to speak freely may be outweighed by the target's right to live peacefully and not be subjected to hate speech. It's a fascinating area of comparative law, and I'm not advocating either strategy here. Just a comment (that I realize you didn't ask for) 😀

+Molly O'Brien Burning the U.S. flag--while it is a despicable act as far as I (an American) am concerned--is in fact protected under the U.S. Constitution as an act of free speech. See Texas V. Johnson 1989 (Supreme Court decision). The decision was not unanimous. The ruling was 4 to 5, but the majority wins.

The Freedom of Speech in the US Constitution is, per the Founders, especially a freedom of political speech against the government. If you look at the history of England, and for that matter Europe in general, saying things against the monarchy and the feudal lords could get you killed. This is also why freedom of religion is included in the First Amendment along with speech. This ties in to your test question regarding Bloody Mary. She, to quote Wikipedia, "was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. Mary is best known for her aggressive and bloody pursuit of the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and Ireland in an attempt to reverse the English Reformation of her father, Henry VIII." The Founders of the US did not want that sort of thing to happen here if at all possible. The full amendment is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Historically your probally right, but in the context of today's world very few countries don't have freedom of speech. But the problem these days is that's in grave danger of being lost, as if you don't agree with some of these growing trends, they will try and cancel you to silence your freedom to disagree with what their pushing.

TheRenaissanceman65, founding fathers of the United States were up against a lot. The whole reason for people leaving Europe was because of the Catholic church and it's ways. That's where "Freedom of Religion" became a thing. At the time of separation, no one could speak badly about the Catholic religion or State because they would be persecuted if they did. Thus, "Freedom of Speech" was born.

TheRenaissanceman65 it’s actually really important to have that right protected. If anyone ever has to go to court for saying certain things, it protects them. This comes in hand during times of protest. Protest itself is also a right but having free speech emphasizes that. Without this protected right, a lot of significant things that has built our country wouldn’t have happened and we might have been where we are at today

Kinder chocolate surprise eggs are still banned by the FDA. It's considered an accidental choking hazard when non-edible contents are surrounded by edible parts. The Kinder eggs that are not banned are the ones that are packaged with two compartments: chocolate candy in one half, toy in the other. This packaging is not considered a choking hazard.

Freedom of speech in the US is ironclad since the freedom is explicitly protected. In the UK, Parliament can - and has - passed exceptions to the freedom, whereas in the US the Constitution itself must be amended (extremely difficult at best, and most often impossible). The fact that it is much easier to curtail freedom of speech in the UK is one of the reasons Americans rightfully brag about the quality of freedom of speech in the USA vs. UK. There's your lesson, Brits. Hope you've learned something (wouldn't that be a refreshing sight!), and ... you're welcome!

NossohSeven it doesn't really matter all that much. The constitution is a double edged sword really, it's hard to amend but that also means you probably won't ever make gun law changes either. People are obsessed with the constitution to an uncanny degree... it also means groups like the KKK can easily get away with their activities, meanwhile extremist groups like Britain First are considered criminals. At the end of the day, the US constitution protects against government tyranny but we already have the Queen for that purpose
@tacosmexicanstyle7846

+Electronics For Fun lol The Queen can dismiss the government. She can fire the PM. She did this to Australia's government in 1975 to avoid a government shutdown. It is the only one of its kind in Australian modern history, meanwhile the US has had 17 shutdowns since then because there is no adequate balance of power and it is very hard to impeach a President. The Queen can't be held hostage because she has the armed forces. The British Army does not follow the Prime Minister, they take orders from the Queen. Hence, the government can't hold her hostage. Bet you didn't know that... I agree with +TheRenaissanceman65, it's hard to amend and that's what makes it dangerous. The issue is that people technically have the right to say whatever they want in the US, but the US is also a place where PC runs rampant and you end up being controlled even more than a country like the UK where free speech isn't even protected...

TheRenaissanceman65 "The trouble with a written constitution is it's so hard to amend it." Actually, no. From the American perspective, this is its strength. In any democracy, there's always the danger of a majority voting to remove the rights of a minority. The Constitution makes sure that those laws and rights which we believe are most fundamental and critical cannot be removed without a seismic shift in public opinion.

Everywhere in the world there are limits on free speech, like if you yell fire in the middle of a crowd that's illegal. But in the US there are less limits on free speech than in the UK. For example hate speech is legal in the US while I'm pretty sure it's illegal in the UK. In both countries you can legally criticize the government, which is basically why freedom of speech laws are important. Beyond that, even comparing them is making a mountain out of a mole hill, but still the US has more freedom of speech, whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing is another issue.

There are more example of the Government going after people for saying things that people took offense to. That definitely doesn't happen in the US (not anymore at least). Basically, someone could go in public and say the most vile things and unless they made a threat of violence or slandered someone the government couldn't do shit to them.

As an American I am pretty sure I got all the ones that you guys got wrong, I got right. Also just a fact the US puts an emphasis on important dates in history so we always remember Nov. 11 for ending WW1 but also it’s our Veterans Day to remember those who fought in wars

Very cool! i am wondering. do certain areas of London/England have accents, or do not all Brits have accents? i was watching Harry Potter or something else and notices Emma Watson's accent, though she's British, doesn't really have an accent. you two have the most British accent i've heard, along with another channel i follow. but i love accents. but i'm also wondering, living in London, does London carry the same products (soap shampoo etc.) like dove or head and shoulders, (just to name a few) that America carries? i def like to know how London and America differ with products. i know they differ in snacks, from Love & London's channel (the rice krispie treats, pop tarts snacks) that was shown in the video.

England has regional accents just like the U.S. does, so someone from Manchester would have a different accent than someone from London, just like someone from Minnesota has a different accent than someone from Alabama. For most Americans (including me), the British accent at first might sound like it's all the same thing, but if you listen to a variety of British speakers, you'll start to notice differences. I remember I first started becoming aware of different regional British accents thanks to Daphne Moon from Frasier...which is kind of funny in itself, because Jane Leeves, who played Daphne, was actually totally faking a Manchester accent for the show (she actually grew up in Sussex). Still, that accent was the first time I really started to notice how different one British accent was from another, and started making connections between the sound of certain accents and the places they come from. :-)

Technically, everyone has an accent that's specific to whatever region they're from, but we tend to think of how language is spoken where we grew up as "default," and measure the accents of everyone else based on how similar or different it is from what's most familiar to us. I'm from Tennessee, and I can promise you people from Wisconsin most definitely have an accent. :-P (My boss's wife is from Wisconsin and he does a really funny impression of her accent, which is quite different from his own native Nashvillian accent :-P ).

Adria. There are over 30 different accents in England - plus other accents in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I think there are about 10 accents in the US. Jennifer is right - everyone - EVERYONE - has an accent.

Thank you, everyone for all of this. it is very interesting to find out how accents can differ according to your region, even if you do live in the same country.

In fact, Serbia was effectively the first of the Allies, since the war started when Austro-Hungary wanted to invade Serbia and Russia opposed them (and Austro-Hungary was allied with Germany while Russia was allied with France, and then Britain came in when Germany invaded Belgium on the way to France).

A useless fact. I was named after my Aunt Kay. She was in the military in WWII. She was a mechanic and she worked with Princess Elizabeth. She is the one that actually taught her to drive. She told us it was because they said she had to know how to drive in case something happened to her driver. And Queen Elizabeth still loves to drive. True fact. My aunt's name was Katherine Miller, know as Kay. She later became Kay Birk when she married my uncle.

As an American I only missed 2, olympics and Bulgaria. Although my life up to 6 years old I was in a Montessori school run by English women and had a daytime nanny / baby sitter who was a retired English live in nanny. My cultural understandings and pronunciations are a bit of a mess.

Kinder Eggs were banned because children might swallow the toys inside the chocolate. They are here now because Kinder makes a version in which the toys are now separate from the chocolate.
