Well, if we were a defeated fuck of an island like you, we might experience less volatility.
I think Sirelamre put it best over at 24, and I quote......
"99% of the population of the Colonies in 1770 was ENGLISH.
Not any other country --- not YET separate Americans.
Whether we in our American-Idolized redneck pride care to admit it,
the British ARE the reason we don't speak French now.
There's this little matter of the French and Indian War, which the British Army won, with assistance from the colonists --- a war that in NO WAY would have been winnable by the colonists alone - ask EVERY historian of that time -
We may have disagreed with the English government and monarchy ---
but we owed our very defining characteristics as a nation to the Magna Charta and other English ideas.....
....not in any way to the rest of the European cultures and nations."
And your still welcome, even an ungrateful Yankee prick like you.
Without my "defeated fuck of an island" your country as you know it wouldn't exist.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
