Why are you so angry against Britain? You seem to be so insecure that you need to find ways in which you can feel superiour to others. Why be so proud and defensive of a country that you were born into by pure chance and literally have had no input in the things that you're boasting about?

Good. Who needs war? The reason so many of our troops are dead in Afghanistan is because we followed you fucking idiots out there to accomplise nothing.
Glass houses my friend. At least we managed to invade and take over,

Well done, you managed to occupy a country whose primary defences are still wooden blockades, you must be proud. It's like claiming you're a war hero because you managed to squash a few ants.

what happened when the UK tried to invade Afganistan again? You got your asses handed to you I believe?

No, exactly the same thing that happened to you; nothing. In fact, it got better when we arrived because we went and helped the residents in distress or danger zones, instead of going in like complete meatheads and just looking to take control of everything, but then not take the responsibility.

Damn, what a racist.

Also on the issue of Slavery, It wasn't white people's fault that the africans were less advanced, therefore, we sought to use them.

Pretty much. The fact that slavery was stopped goes to show our world becoming more civilized actually.

I don't know either. He's gone off his own topic here.

Winning a war just proves you're better at killing. That's not exactly civilized behavior these days. This is why the rest of Europe hates us now, as we followed America into war.

HMMM. I WONDER WHAT NATION THAT WASN'T BRITAN TOOK OVER AMERICA AND THEN DIDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND GOT THEIR ASSES BEAT AROUND THE TIME OF THE NOT-REVOLUTIONARY WAR. HMMMMM

sounds fucking familiar to me.

Nah, they all hate Greece now for their huge debt, which is thank to America's stupid recession-causing spending. But that'll hit us soon. The problem with capitalism is that it doesn't seek to solve problems, just passes them from one place to another, like a hurricane.

and what makes us more civilized than them? we have thousands of murders every year and they usually have 100 or less, we have a 97 percent literacy rate and they have 100, we have a unemployment rate that is fucking ridiculous.

so how are we more civilized?

It's a wierd and unfortunate state of affairs when euro trash blames everyone but themselves for their own mistake. You could have saved your money, it's your own fault.

It's an all to frequent state of affairs when America hides from the blame, and resorts to petty insults to hide it. I'm not even greek. British spending and budgets have little to no influence from Greece at all. We recently just passed a £6bil. notion in order to help Greece out of their hole, as opposed to playing hot potato with the debt.

I don't recall ever saying that America was more civilized. I simply states that Britain sn't as civilized as they'd like everyone to believe, then we got a bunch of British Douchebags come in and bring up every single one of American's faults in an attempt to hide their own shame.

The only civilised people are the ones that aren't resorting to petty name-calling and recalling on the actions that they had no influence over. Whoever's nicest is the most civilised, so arguing about it isn't a good method to show how civilised you are.

So your evident hate towards the British in the form of insults and spewing of historical ''facts'' that they are inferior are not attempts to claim America's superiority?

We haven't even scratched the surface yet. For all I don't support bringing up a countries past for irrelevant arguments, there is a lot of shit that springs to mind.

I mean, nobodies mentioned the LA race riots yet have they? Nobodies has mentioned Dead Pheasenting, LGBT rights or AA for example.

Seriously guys? Mabye instead of arguing about how one is "more civilized" than the other, we should all understand that each and every place has they're prettier and uglier moments throughout history. No place is superior to another, and arguing about it makes it seem like the whole country is filled temperamental people who want to prove their greatness. What matters is how we decide to develop in the future. Period.

More of his stuff? That's his first post!

Also, he has a point, every nation is good and bad, stop trying to outdo each other and stop thinking that small groups of people or events should represent an entire country of people. Sure the country as a whole could be said to do those things but we all know not all the citizens subscribe to those courses of action.

Stop being so pretentious and superior.

I'd like to think that the British are perfect Gentlemen - The Americans went to war, because they wanted oil. When a former colonial company just up and gave it to them, they had to find some other way to complain.

You can't tar us with the Brush that the Welsh are supposed to be civilised. Attempting to procreate with sheep is hardly what we'd call civilised.

Neither is interbreeding, but that never stopped Norfolk :P

The OP's retardation is fucking hilarious we never claimed to be more civilised once again a stupid yank is just basing it on the most innacurate stereotype in the world. You also claim Brixton has no guns... lawfully you fucking spoon East London has more guns than the local army barracks i live in London and yes there are guns and yes people fire them even if its just a your mum joke doesn't go down too well. I dont know if it was you who said it but someone said Wales wasn't Britain and i fucking laughed my ass off. As for the football riots its called passion (kind of.. not really lol) ah fuck it we just like to beat rival fans up on occasions and all the war bollocks yeah look at America your all for peace and what not so yeah shut up you nob jockey, muppet , wanker, numpty person.
