So 1. You were wrong to include the Rep. of Ireland in your post. |
I was only pointing out the Republic of Ireland and other parts of UK were still part of the Britsh army in the wars he stated and not just the English as many seem to think, but up untill 1922 both side of Ireland, Scotland and Wales took part in the Britsh wars not just England.

Ah good point, I didn't really read much of the earlier parts of the quote tree, but yeah it was about past wars. My apologies.
Go live there then. Whats stopping you? Take Michael Moore with you :)
I went outside once, the graphics were great but the gameplay sucked!
The UK from what I have seen visiting the USA is also a lot more civilized and compassionate towards its citizens.
When visiting Boston I had never so many homeless people from teens to elderly in temperatres as low as 10F / -12C and right outside Harvard University in the worlds richest country.
In the same city I also saw a very scruffily dressed man and woman in their 60s collecting plastic bottles from trash cans in a grocery trolley, presumably to sell for a few $
I'm used to seeing all this in 3rd world countries I've visited such as Mexico, India, Thailand etc. but I was really shocked to see this in the USA.
Your country should be truly ashamed!!
Well, if you really love England that much more than America then why don't you just move there? I'm proud to be an American. Don't get me wrong, I would love to visit the UK one day and I absolutely love the British accent.

Also, someone forgot about those british riots, and how there's groups of people over there who want gun laws similar to the US. Not only that, US had slaves, and lots of them. All those people working for nothing. Their efforts still had massive value that paid off... Besides... The US, has much bigger problems, and unless there's lots of people willing to do work for free, they wont be solved. Oh well. I'm not able to talk about it, though. |
The reason for this is they shipped all evil people via ROYAL MAIL to Australia. Thats why there is less violence in England.
They only kept the hooligans as mascots i suppose?
No seriously I think if the USA would be part of the UK/England again England would be the number 1 hated country in the world. The states messed up and thats it.
But on the other hand if the states would have been reunified with England before all that crap happened then It would be an awesome place again?
Nice job bringing up the Religious Card! Classy! 
| homer said: Heck no!. In my eyes, the British are backwards. What kind of civilized people exalt one family above others? Royalty is BS. The Queen is BS. I'd say we should end their reign once and for all, but the Prince guy seems to be legitimately a good guy. He served in the military after all, and he has done good charity work over the world. Maybe it's time for the Queen to get out and give England a King. Even then, royalty is still BS. Also, their accent is awful and they have poor taste in sports just like every other European nation. I want to distinguish myself as far away from them pesky Europeans while still acknowledging that we are still friends and we all have the same goal(contain China and Russia). |
I don't think the Royal Family actually still reigns Britain...

Of course they still reign (if they didn't then they wouldn't be the Royal family), but they don't really have much say in the running of the country or anything. As I said earlier they are basically just a tourist trap now. They bring in quite a bit of money to the country... I believe it is more than they are paid through taxes etc, so ultimately they are a profitable venture, and without them the money would go to the government, who aren't exactly great at solving problems without massive overhead. Having said that though I'm sure the Royals could function just as well on much less income.

Why in the world would you want to see the Royal Family? O_o
Ah, I thought they were just purely to function as "Figure-Heads" for parades and such. Almost like a Celebrity.
