need to get rid of the whole royalty thing. that's so 1600s. dumb system.
british people are far more ignorant than americans. they also have a very annoying accent after 5 minutes. and the crime rate is terrible.
england is just butthurt that usa is so much more advanced.
americans are the most ignorant people in all of the developed countries, americans need to learn a lot before getting on the same level of intelligence as the average british adult
and no im not british -

I'm glad you can call a whole country ignorant without even meeting 1% of the population, I forget 1% is enough to determine this. -

probably. i don't look at england as a developed country. it's too small and weak. -

You guys realize that America still lives in the past. How many times do you see people talk about Vietnam or the Cold War? I mean, the war in Iraq is the only current thing going on.
England is one of the oldest superpowers still alive and standing. If you don't remember grade 8 history, the settlers from Britain settled in Canada, those people moved on into the United States. Therefore, most of the oldest American familys have roots in Britain. The only difference between Canada and USA, is that the Americans wanted independance from the British.
England is by far one of the most established countries, along with France. They both are the original superpowers. Countries like Russia, America, and Canada are like the second generations. Countries like China and Germany are also like the second/third generations.
I know most players that play Cross Fire have no idea about Grade 10 history [I liked that class because it was about the time where COD World at War was popular] but England was the original super power. After they decided to stop being controlling, and gave countries like Canada, India, and Australia their independance, they basically sent word that they were "retiring" from being a superpower, in a sense. They're still respected. In terms of military, naval, and imperialist levels, Britain set the bar. I'm pretty sure no other country has owned as much land or set up as many colonies than Britain.
I'm Canadian, so call me biased if you will, but my grandparents immigrated here from Asia, so I have no British ties [well, Giggletron is my brother..] -

Military, naval, and imperialist levels... Lets look at America. Look at their military budget. Look at how many ships they have just to watch their merchant ships.
Yes, most Americans are ignorant, but to say the English "retired" from being a superpower is ridiculous. The UK is in no position to become a super power anymore, and probably has as much influence as Japan, even though it has a military.
Lets look at Russia, and USA, and lets not forget Germany if you want to talk about imperialism. This isnt to bash on the UK, but to say that they are the best at it is ridiculous.
If I was to get in an argument about this, I would even say Japan owned more land mass than the UK did at one point. -

Where we are, in a "Clouded Environment", comes from the definition of control. There are a lot of things that need to be taken on-board, some parts are still hidden. But when you realize who really "Controls" the world you may see it has moved on from super-power to all-power. This is the state I see the World and its our last hope that we realze it before it's too late. -

Do you really believe that it's one country against the other and best one wins. I am talking of the "Masters of War" the actual orchastrators who make the occasion happen. History is still being revealed about these and other truths that are becoming harder to debunk. Our biggest faiure is in the acts that have caused the world to become so divided and kept us apart. The ability to communicate world-wide is a powerful tool, perhaps that could be our saviour.
