dumb ..........your telling me ......not one on your list madcapsyd .......with a name like that you suprize me .
As a nation yes, England probably would've been fine, but with a Central Power victory England probably would've taken a beating at the peace table.
I doubt that germany/the ottomans would have won either way, we just kinda showed up at the end to spread the Spanish Influenza (which killed more people than the holocaust). NOTE: i'm not suggesting that we spread the flu on purpose, just that it was an unintentional result of war... Also, if england lost, germany would never have given rise to hitler... somethig to ponder, eh?
its funny that the same people that would burn their flag on one thread would argue so determined for their country on another. What is this thread about anyway?
Yeah, we suck, but we did kick ass in the Revolutionary War, back when honest, respectable men with vision had the idea of freedom, democracy, and all that crap... ...what happened?... ...but you might consider the absurdity of making such blanket statements, though I agree with your statement in some contexts, I like to think folks like me make up for the stupidity of our "leaders"
Yes but have you ever had an empire that basically ruled the world? The world being outside the shores of the united states. You know that bit that when interview 18% of American Students didn't know existed. US world beaters aren't they. World series baseball.... your great at that. Remind me how many countries play that game to a high level? The same can be levelled at Basketball and American Football. We can go on this US vs UK thing as much as you lot want to but being that a lot of you wanted to burn your flag and denounce borders of any kind why are you bothering. I'm of course a nationalist so I'm more than happy with the borders in place and my country's flag so I'll argue all day with it. The difference between the UK and the US? People around the world like the British.
this thread is pretty pathetic really! lets not tuen it into a UK or US thing. we are all living on the same planet as humans. i am not patriotic at all, so i will not defend the actions of our government, let alone the generations of the past, because i am alive here and now. i really dislike the arguament, 'we had an emprie', it happened, it was history, not a point of pride...... and the whole war thing, does it really matter? lots of things have happened in the past, should we hold current generations accountable for the past? no then, why should we use it as an arguament? peace, love and sunflowers
