Britain destroyed records of colonial crimes

[hunboldt]

[Feeling rather peckish, Alf, or have you lost your sense of humour?

No I am not, all I said is pretty much stay on topic.



I really don't care who likes the US and who doesn't, my life goes on just fine.



You're a headline historian, at best.



If this belief makes you sleep better, I am glad we can be of assistance.



I post here, because I like obtaining various points of view (unlike yourself), I also post on Australian sites and yes American as well.



I'm not going to lump an entire population into one phrase and lower my standards to your level, Canadian attitudes vary far and wide from sea to sea to sea.



That's understandable, we are traitors to them.

Clement Atlee, who appears not to be Black leaf's hero, is rated as the greatest Prime Minister in Britain's history, as he say the 'writing on the wall' and pulled Merry England out of Empire in the late forties early fifties.

 

[Sons of Liberty]

I can't think of ANY country which has contributed as much to the world as Britain has.

That's because you are narrow minded and no doubt have been indoctrinated over the years. I know Britain has contributed much to the world, but contrary to your belief many other countries have contributed to humanity. I know of no methodology to put this theory of yours to the test. Please explain.

Britain is history's greatest-ever civilisation.

Sure dude, when your ancestors were hanging from the trees other civilizations were moving from polytheism to reason and logic.

 

[Blackleaf]

For that you can thank Clement Atlee, who saw the writing on the wall for empire and got Merrie England out, BL..

I'm not thanking Attlee for anything. He was one of the worst Prime Ministers we ever had.

, but contrary to your belief many other countries have contributed to humanity.

Just not as much as Britain has.

Sure dude, when your ancestors were hanging from the trees other civilizations were moving from polytheism to reason and logic.

The chances are that my ancestors were the same peoples as your ancestors. The British are the largest ethnic group in both the USA and Canada.

 

[taxslave]

I've got plenty of reason to laugh. I live in the greatest civilisation the world has ever known with a capital city which is probably outstripped only by Rome and Athens as history's most influential city. And, as I've shown above, I live in the second-best country in the world to live in after Sweden. Being Brritish I have a higher quality of life than people do in Canada and the USA.

ROFLMAO
You live in a ustawas economic nanny state backwater with an unelected inbred leader. About one step above Greece.

 

[Blackleaf]

ROFLMAO

So do you.

 

[taxslave]

So do you.

Nope. Canada's time is just starting.

 

[Blackleaf]

Nope. Canada's time is just starting.

Is it? You could have fooled me. Most Europeans think your capital city is Toronto.

 

[Sons of Liberty]

Just not as much as Britain has.

Well can you prove this or are you just going to thump your chest all this while?

The chances are that my ancestors were the same peoples as your ancestors. The British are the largest ethnic group in both the USA and Canada.

They are, but my ethnic group comes from the Mediterranean.

Is it? You could have fooled me. Most Europeans think your capital city is Toronto.

And here I thought Americans had the distinction of not knowing geography.

 

[captain morgan]

Is it? You could have fooled me. Most Europeans think your capital city is Toronto.

Think about what you just posted here... It screams volumes on mass ignorance more than anything else

 

[taxslave]

Is it? You could have fooled me. Most Europeans think your capital city is Toronto.

Proving that most Europeans are ignorant. Or at least the ones you know. What's your point.

 

[Blackleaf]

Well can you prove this or are you just going to thump your chest all this while?

I don't need to prove it. It's there in black and white. We even invented your country. And the language you are writing this in.

They are, but my ethnic group comes from the Mediterranean.

You've just insulted the ancestors of most North Americans.

And here I thought Americans had the distinction of not knowing geography.

Yeah. You're right. Americans don't know their geography. Most of you are so bad at geography that you can't point to the world on a map. Only 2% of you have even got passports.

Proving that most Europeans are ignorant. Or at least the ones you know. What's your point.

They're only ignorant about Canada.

And it's not just Europeans who are ignorant about Canada. Virtually the whole world outside Canada is, even Americans.

 

[Cliffy]

Ah, poor Blackie. Everybody is picking on him and his nationalist pride. His empire collapsed more than 50 years ago and he is still pining for the glory days. Oh the pity of it. Have a heart guys. The spectacle of this beating is breaking my heart

 

[Blackleaf]

His empire collapsed more than 50 years ago and he is still pining for the glory days.

At least we've had glory days.

Plus, I can't pine for a time which happened before I was even born.

And you have to remember that this thread was started to indulge in a bit of Brit-bashing. It wasn't me who started all this.

 

[captain morgan]

At least we've had glory days.

Ahhh, the song of a washed-up and used-up wh*re.

Here's a little something to help ease your pain.

You invented the US? Sorry I thought you stole it from the Dutch? Admittedly you are good at stealing things. Oh and you did not invent the English language, sorry go do some research.

You've just insulted the ancestors of most North Americans.

Because mine were from the Mediterranean? :roll: Please elaborate.

Yeah. You're right. Americans don't know their geography. Most of you are so bad at geography that you can't point to the world on a map. Only 2% of you have even got passports.

Oh right, that passport myth you have been indoctrinated about. Passport Statistics

They're only ignorant about Canada.

And it's not just Europeans who are ignorant about Canada. Virtually the whole world outside Canada is, even Americans.

I know Americans don't know much about Canada, but please explain the whole world.

And you have to remember that this thread was started to indulge in a bit of Brit-bashing. It wasn't me who started all this.

It was a Brit who wrote the article.

 

[CDNBear]

I know Americans don't know much about Canada, but please explain the whole world.

I know lots of Americans that are quite familiar with the geography of Europe.

They helped liberate it.

lol, just saying.

 

[Blackleaf]

Sorry I thought you stole it from the Dutch?

And you stole it from the British, the French, the Spanish and the Mexicans.

Oh and you did not invent the English language, sorry go do some research.

Yes, we did. That's why it's called English and not American.

Because mine were from the Mediterranean? :roll: Please
elaborate.

No. Because by insulting my ancestors you insult the ancestors of most North Americans.

Oh right, that passport myth you have been indoctrinated about. Passport Statistics

So 13 million Americans own passports?

That's 4% of America's population of 317 million owns a passport.

I know Americans don't know much about Canada, but please explain the whole world.

I'm afraid that poor Canada is overshadowed by its giant next door neighbour.

 

[gerryh]

No. Because by insulting my ancestors you insult the ancestors of most North Americans.

insulting the "brits" is a world wide pass time. Maybe you should look into the why's.

So 13 million Americans own passports?

That's 4% of America's population of 317 million owns a passport.

No, that was how many passports were issued in 2009, not total passports in circulation. You really are a poor representation of your country. At least I hope you are.

 

[taxslave]

And you stole it from the British, the French, the Spanish and the Mexicans.








I'm afraid that poor Canada is overshadowed by its giant next door neighbour.

Actually we have been just keeping how wonderful Canada is a secret to keep the riffraff out.
