"Evil Empire"

Didn't we stop Saladin in 1200 obtaining Power...
Didn't we nearly abolish his pathetic religion, as an excuse to be one, trying to copy Richard's?
Britishreparations, YOU CAN'T BLAME ENGLAND ON ONE BLOODY MAN!!
Cecil Rhodes may have been true/not true, But he is Not our leader now, and We aren't even an Empire. Nor were we. That's what our country lacks...

The Courage to defend Our Sacred Country.

Read up on history. Saladin retained the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and Richard rode home after the Third Crusade with nothing to show for it. Infact he was captured while returning home, wasn't he?? Because of King John's plotting.

WolfytheWolf5667
Suryjava, He only rode home because his pathetic brother wanted power, if not, we would have won over their pathetic technology.
Anyway, Credit must be shown to England, it's done good in the past!! And it is racist to make fun of England, A.K.A the only country with enough courage to fight the Taliban.

suryavajra
yes, yes I remember now.

What do you mean pathetic technology?? The Muslim world was pretty far advanced back in those days, man. In fact the best blades came from Damascus.

The only country to fight the Taliban. Ahemmmm....Actually the Americans were fighting them. And before the Americans it was the Indians. Remember Jammu and Kashmir and the Taliban brought in by the Pakistanis?? And the Northern Alliance had been fighting them longer than everyone else.

suryavajra
Explain to me one thing. How, pray tell, is it racist for a white guy to make fun of Britain??? And most specifically how is it racist if you're making fun of a nation as opposed to an ethnic or racial group?? If anything the man would be classified more accurately as an Anglophobe, but not a racist...LOL!

WolfytheWolf5667
Anglophobe/Racist, whatever, you can't say what the fuck you want about England.
It just isn't right to blame England for what it did in the past, e.g. Blaming all Muslims as Terrorists because of the Taliban.
Or blaming all white people as Ku Klux Klan.
Anyway, Just don't Insult England....It isn't right.

As an Irishman, how can I disagree with calling the British Empire an Evil Empire.

Is the word 'evil' to harsh? No, not at all.

As for English people; they're fine people. Nothing evil about them.

This book cannot be taken seriously and is in no way a serious history book. Stephan A Grasse isn't an historian - despite his claims. The book is full of laughable errors - so much so that one should get upset by it as it cannot be taken seriously. Just laugh at it - it will soon be forgotten.

ilikeappleepie
Not only historical errors but errors but errors on current events. for example it claims britain is causing climate change, yet america is the single biggest contributer to carbon emmisions, above even china. im personally hoping obama can change his nations ignorance.

cjballphotographer
Well what do you expect - Steven A. Grasse isn't an historian at all but CEO of the marketing agency Gyro. In fact, with its viral marketing and hyperbole, it is just a marketing excercise - not history at all. It is a very funny book in reality - its huge errors, that would shame a schoolboy, raise so much laughter I couldn't put it down. I can laugh at it and that is what we should all do - that is its only value and, planned or not, it really is funny.

I agree with you completely, a lot of Americans do have British ancestry, and that's why they shouldn't say bad shit about the British Empire. Their ancestors are just as bad as mine in that case. I hate all the bitching between our countries, but if someone says something stupid, i'll say something stupid in return!

americanoutlander
believe it or not...americans are like the long lost british..well white americans are abywho since it was only white people who left england about 200 years ago,so like you said...were baically agruing with our own kind...its sad...but no one wants to admit it...and as for who starts it,when i lived in london myself...i saw that the british media on americans was about 80% wrong since most people who lived there judged americans on movies and eating alot,aka media B.S .....

americanoutlander
thats why videos like this are poping up..because people like this will tell everything thats wrong about americans right to there face online and its all media...trust me,im a british-american myself and i have done the research..its what most people should do...the video was probably made to show the some people from the UK that the US can talk smack right back or make negative media inpacting on them.

fozzyisgod
The British media are twats, I think most people in Britain know this, and we don't believe half the shit they tell us! There are stereotypes about Americans, but we have also been stereotyped, it was probably a bunch of retards that didn't have girlfriends spreading bullshit. I don't stereotype someone because of their nationality, and most people in the UK don't either!

americanoutlander
its really sad when people in a country cant trust there own media or leaders for that matter...we need people like the ones whos started our great english nations...but sadly its all about money and lies now days...our faimlys that made great england and america must be looking down at us from heaven shaking there heads in sadness and remorse for the english of today...

fozzyisgod
Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill wouldn't have let this country go to shit. Gordon Brown is a fat knobhead and he doesn't know how to run a country. We need someone with at least half a brain to sort this country out and to sort out the media, the government and media make the general public look bad. I agree, our ancestors must be turning in their graves!

americanoutlander
the last time i was in london,it looking like immagration was really hurting it and a bunch of new arabic religions...no offence to anyone..but thats what it looked like and what i was told from my fellow british

fozzyisgod
Immigration is taking over, we've even got sharia law. They're trying to change everything and it's pissing us off, we're starting to rebel against the smelly, greedy bastards. We'll be at war soon in the UK, that's why i've applied to join the army as a soldier, preparation is the key :)

americanoutlander
really sharia law is in the UK,this is EXTREAMLY BAD NEWS!im not going to even tell you what comes after that...i hope BNP wins...so i can go back to my homeland of the UK...

fozzyisgod
Apparently there is (or will soon be) at least 5 sharia courts in the UK, I can imagine what comes after that. I hope BNP win as well because if they don't, we're most likely fucked, and have 4 years until the next election. If the BNP don't win, I can imagine what the British public will do, and it won't be pretty!

2prologue
americans have to be really stubborn to call others the "evil empire".

americans made terrorists, they made capitalism into whats it today and the world lies crushd beneath the piles of money the americans have.

fuck america

suryavajra
Actually you Brits were the ones that formulated capitalism. Remember the East India Company and the Drug trade??? 'nuff said...

2prologue
i'm not brit, im asian and i live in australia.

yea i know the british started capitalism, but capitalism is almost dying and its getting really bad now days.

suryavajra
ahhh sorry about that 2prologue. Are you an Asian from South Asia or Asian from East Asia??

So what do you think will replace capitalism in your opinion??

2prologue
now worry, im happy we are hostile. :)

south east asia.

and i think socialism will replace capitalism. there is a lot of unfairness in the world and i think people are starting to get aware of it.

im not some crazy pyscho marxist dude, but i believe if we are gonna be gone with capitalism, the only way is revolution. it's just how the circumstances turn out, bloody or bloodless

suryavajra
so what kind of socialist system do you think will be the alternative to capitalism, then 2prologue?

2prologue
i think the TRUE marxist-lenin one will replace capitalism.

i believe socialist policies are working in many countries now and if we stepped it up more it would work.

i don't think communist will be introduced until like the year 3000 because right now humans still feel insecure about there economic and pyshical safety. socialism will help bring that fear down

suryavajra
I happen to be one of the skeptical ones...LOL!

2prologue
lol one time i saw on fox news on youtube.

like they said socialism was bad, critising obama, and then they suddenly showed like video clip from the 50's about russians working on a farm.. happily that is.

then they said do you want america to turn into this!

thats pure propaganda

suryavajra
Well Fox the conservative news network. MSNBC is more liberal and pro-Obama. CNN is kind of in the middle but leans liberal.

2prologue
however i still agree that US companys are taking advantage of too much people and taking their fruits of labour from them.

2prologue
US media is shitty aswell, i keep seeing news shows and the reporters always shout at the interviewers and don't let them say shit.

i heard that each news show is biased in political idealogy. and also there is heaps and heaps of propaganda on american tv
