And I think you will find that the British did invent democracy as we see it today where the people are represented and we also invented the system of trial by jury and where every one is innocent unless PROVEN guilty

you are conveniently forgetting these tribes were battling and slaughtering each other in many places till the british brought peace. how uneducated are you-irish slaves... yea we whipped them into building a colluseum too. what are you talking about? no1 can defendthe nazi's unless you didnt know what the facts were or were forced to. Oh yes i was exaggerating it was only circa 5.7 million holocaust, plus 41.5M civilian deaths and 25.5M military deaths brought on by nazis, silly me!

psh, how many African tribes were slaughtered in un-even battles in the British expansion? you are in denial. You also made the Irish your slaves. If the Nazis won WWII, today we would use the same arguments about the Nazis as you use to defend the British Empire. By the way, i hate to be provocative, but 6 million is MOST probably inflated, and their were simply more people alive during WWII (population), then their was during British empire.

erm did i say we invented democracy.. no! did the british empire exterminate over 6 million people... no! talk about misquoting! if you want to make stuff up just so you have an argument thats fine, but it doesnt remove the fact that the british empire did a lot of good in this world.

Croatian Sabor (Parliament) has been around for centuries...you didn't invent democracy....i think anytime somebody says "Nazis Killed 6 million Jews". People should say, "but they were really good, they brought us highways, huge leaps in technology, in electronics, propulsion, energy efficiency, lead the way against the great depression, and so on..." just so you know how twisted up you are when you respond in such a way.

yes that why all the countries in the world with the most amount of personal freedom for its citzens used to be british dependancies. that is why most countries which used to be british have a lot of the good infrastructure and law and goverment they have today. the only empire to grant independance to everyone of its colonies and still remain in the commonwealth with them at its side. yea britain sucks doesnt it.

Yugoslavia...sucked. i can only speak of this, cause this is my background. But every other person of different nationalities who i talk to has a story about england fucking up their land.

I'm not even British and I'm offended by this asshole's comments. I think I can offer an unbiased view to this as I'm neither British nor American. He had no points, but mere baseless accusations. Just about every major European nation as well as the United States, and even to a lesser extent Canada - all contributed to everything this guy is accusing England of. It is unfair to only blame England as the worlds major powers all did the same. And global warming!? This guy is grasping at straws.

If there was no toilet paper in the world, and I had only the pages of this idiot's book to wipe my British arse with, then I'd feel sorry for skidmarks!

Every nation on earth commited atrocities, you can't blame everything on the British. Imperialism has always existed, and the British didn't invent it. Strong nations always conquer their weaker nations. What about the Babylonians, Persians, Parthians, the Romans, China, the Huns, the Scythians, the Mongols, the Arab Caliphates, the Turks, and the Greeks. They were all empires that killed and enslaved millions. They plundered, looted, poverty, misery, death, everything that is foul and evil.

France was the state that destroyed Germany after WWI, they forced Germany to surrender land as well as money.
Spain invented the concentration camp!
The black death was all over the world.
The colonies that Britain left in Africa were in a better shape than Belgium, Portugal or France.

agreed
colster4life
I agree too - the British historian wiped the floor with him! As he said, the Spanish and Portugese were imperialists before Britain, but don't let that get in the way of making a buck or two, eh?
