Today in World History
« on: November 17, 2010, 06:57:56 PM »
In our class we had a HUGE argument about if English(Brits) people ruined the world...


Besides the opinions in class, does anyone else believe this is true?


No offence to English players of the game...  :salute

What were the arguments for that?  I honestly can't think of any (and also - what do you mean by 'ruined the world'?)

No offense taken, and no I don't believe it's true ;)

Funny thing is, there is probably an history class in England talking about how the USA ruined the world, I personally believe New Zealand ruined the world.

I'm pretty sure the British can't be held responsible for ruining the world. Most of you wouldn't be here if not for the English and there certainly wouldn't be a United States. They pretty much defined you.

Think about it.

Oh, and stop butchering the language :D

Also, it was the Aussies who ruined the world. They're all offspring of hardened criminals!

This guy's pretty entertaining. He thinks (or at least pretends to think) that Russia is a British 'crypto-colony'. Among many other things not pertaining to Britain.

English(Brits)
Also, there's a difference between England and Britain.
The evil slimy English oppressed & enslaved the Scots and Irish much the same way they did the rest of the world.

The British Empire made countless people her subjects, often under terrible circumstances. They caused wars, oppressed societies, and made a mess of the Mid East alongside the other superpowers. One thing they did manage to do, however, was unintentionally introduce democratic governmental philosophy to their colonies. Though many of her former subjugates and Commonwealth holdings are now somewhat tumultuous areas of the world, they are exponentially more stable than many of the world's other countries.

unintentionally
Britain and her Commonwealth, collectively, with all things considered, are probably the most democratic and stable states on the face of the planet. That's no accident, bruv.
