Empires

This is pretty much how I felt about it, but helping Lavana (10yrs old) with her history homework, I was shocked to see how much attitudes have changed. Her text book was all about the oppression that Britain subjected the people to, how much wealth we took out the countries concerned, and in not so many words how we should be ashamed of it. I was shocked.
Bloody political correctness and hippies.
 
Essentially you are proud that we had machine guns and they didn't. Go and look at the fatality figures for the Battle of Omdurman for instance.

Yes, but we had to invent the machine gun in the first place. When it comes to kicking ass, taking names and um...planting flags, it's nice to know we're the best the world has ever seen.
