An average country, not brilliant, not awful. Everyone in England is stereotyped as ignorant, conceited and horrible, but you can't judge a whole group of people based on what you see in the media, and the behaviour of some pricks. No one I know particulary likes England, and I've lived here my whole life. The stereotype of conceited is just that, a stereotype. How you call a whole country ignorant based on your observation of a minority, I don't understand. Anyway, England is fine, it has its ups and downs, like every country, but it judged unfairly.
England... A country judged as 'ignorant' by people classifying a whole countries people on the minority. Yeah, who's ignorant....?

A country criticized by America because it isn’t full of people having their teeth removed and replaced with plastic so that they look "cool".
The country that invented the English language and has as much right as America to create and use slang.
A country that invented TV so pig-ignorant people could watch inacurate TV shows about how English people have bad teeth and talk weird.
