So I am kinda confused now.  Most of what you said you would do is what America is doing.

 In terms of Imperial England, no I mean England since the 1600's.  I mean who do you think lazily drew half of the borders in the middle east, and thus fucked that region (France and other European powers helped of course.)

 

One last thing:  What you see on TV is not america.  Fox News is war hungry and stupid, but then again it is Fox News.  You don't judge America based on Fox News, and I won't judge the U.K. based on The Sun ok?

I never denied that. England has done many things that are nothing to be proud. Not so much nowadays but we had a bloody history. Every superpower seems to be the same.

Yeah I admit media especially those owned by Rupert Murdoch (he owns the sun and fox) seem to be very sensationilist and exaggerating. Whatever the Sun says is normally far away from the reality. As for Fox News i find them amusing but it's worrying that millions of people believe them.

Also, i don't hate American people just the American government. All governments are awful in my opinion. They get too corrupt 


Politicians are like diapers: they need to be changed often, and for the same reasons.

I guess if you think like that. One day you think there will be no need for politicians. The people will run their own affairs. At least thats what i want anyway. I hate representative democracy

I am pretty much a libertarian so we probably agree on more than you initially thought.  I am also a realist however, and as one I believe that the world does need some order, and that sometimes force is needed.

i'm a libertarian socialist personally so they would be a fair amount of agreement. Not likely on economics though but thats a different discussion altogether
