British responsible for everything bad...

I wish he'd make his mind up, it's either Britain or England, blame one or the other but decide which one, what a nubber. And it might be news to him but pretty much the rest of Britain (N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales) all hate the English too :D

I think the only thing we have in common is the hatred of the French!
 
im sure a lot of the things we 'invented' where done so for good, its not our fault if someone comes along and uses it for evil! :p

The machine gun for instance, a turkey farmer invented that one year after he decided it was taking too long to kill all his xmas turkeys and wanted a better way to do it :) Not our fault it was taken into combat!

Child labour = look, a kids got to work for its pocket money, cant expect free handouts! Not our fault they are now used in sweat shops!

*all of the above was a joke

On a serious note, what the hell is bad with prisons? I suppose he would just prefer us to tattoo their crime on their forehead so everyone knows what they are like, or tie a ribbon around their little finger to show they have broken the law!

And how the hell did we invent the Black Plague?

Where done so for good? *spits on your grammar* :D

Hmmm, where is the mention of the good stuff the UK does. I notice that it is an American site. Anyone know if it is a joke? Certainly doesn't look like it!

I think you'll find 'British' includes the Scots, Welsh and some Irish too.

Anyway, a Yank telling the world how bad Britain is. :rolleyes:

Pot, kettle and black are words that spring to mind.

Yes, although the author of the website uses "English" and "British" interchangeably.

One of his accomplices also went to an "Irish and Scottish Music Festival" to stir things up a bit, obviously oblivious to the fact that Scotland is itself still part of Britain and had as much involvement in the British Empire as anywhere else.
http://www.britishreparations.org/news.php?id=252&m=03&y=2007

The author also describes himself as " a cultural studies analyst and media communications expert". Surely shorthand for "I did a doss subject at college and now earn a living publishing my ill-researched and founded views in whatever publication will print them".

All in all, pretty difficult to take any of this site seriously :)

I also thought it was a bit ironic of a yank to complain at us.

But before British even invented guns, they need gunpowder. And gunpowder isn't invented by british.

The 4 great inventions by the Chinese:

- Gunpowder
- Compass
- Paper
- Printing

^ Invented useful stuff, not stuffs used to kill. Gunpowder was used to celebrate their chinese new year, exploding those crackers.

Actually it was the Chinese who started using guns first :)

Aside from cultural identity, an economy, a government, a monarchy, an armed forces, a love of chips, an Olympic sports team (among others)... No nothing else at all. Besides, the French aren't all that bad! ;)

LOL, sorry! I've been up since 5 am yesterday and worked 20 hours so far, you're lucky you can understand it. Usually my spelling and grammar go down the toilet! Always hitting the wrong keys, etc :D

Perhaps if your own country was complete we'd listen to your advice on how to conduct ours...

Perhaps if Britain would give back the part of the country they have stolen we could make our country complete and tell you how to conduct yours... ;)
