mmmm yes undoubtedly

damn he would hard R wouldn't he
I'm black and most British territories didn't outlaw slavery until the next centruy so no thanks...
Agreed, it wasn't soon enough, but they did abolish it thirty years before the US fought a war to get it done.
Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I'd gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy
Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.
TBF we didn’t even do that to India; just exploited it. The East India Company turned up and were like “ah, we see you already know how things are supposed to work!”.
Also, Africa.
Africa (and the various tribes and countries) has been fucked over by various European countries for centuries. Can’t lay this one solely on the English.
hey, you broke it, you bought it. Now, maybe they should be doing something to fix this whole problem in the ex-British Mandate of Palestine they cause
UK man arrested for wearing plasticine t shirt
... Maybe not
Canadians are nice, so they are rewarded with a nice country.
Could you imagine the teeth of an English methhead?
Don't the British have better teeth than the US Americans?
The UK has free Healthcare and better quality of life so I'm pretty sure their teeth are better than most americans
Logically when you think of it this way that bullshit excuse of a derogatory assumption made by anericans goes out the window
americans lack education about the world outside of america and are so narcissistic and think they're better than everyone else that they don't even bother to try and learn about the outside world and when they do learn of the outside world and other countries having better quality of life than them they make up bullshit mental gymnastics and deny reality because they can't accept that
So no your bullshit derogatory misinformed opinion is simply not true and is just a stereotype because you americans like to bully other countries like the schoolyard bully that likes to pick on others
It’s not that we think we’re better than everyone else it’s that we know we are.
Yeah, let’s see how that works out for the oligarchs in Russia. Don’t stand near any windows dip ass
I’m really enjoying your insights!
Keep them coming please.
Sorry bro, You fucked me dry
I’m so glad England isn’t real.
Oh it’s real and no matter where you live the English have probably pillaged it for spices they never use.
Spices were too expensive for most of the population. Except for the likes of the powdered, wigged gents above.
My ancestors only had beans on toast to look forward to when they got back from working in the mines.
You had beans on toast?! We had to wake up an hour before we went to bed and all we had to eat was cold poison! Times were tough in Yorkshire
You had a bed? Such luxuries, we had to sleep in the turnip fields while they were being ploughed.
you were lucky to have a turnip field, we used to live on the forest floor in a hole in the ground
Ok so here's the thing: If America lost the war, America would likely be akin to Australia. The UK used it's North American colonies like they did Australia (that is, a place to transport convicts) so you'd basically be like Australia in that regard. You'd likely be like...cold weather Aussies.
Also:
- Australia would be...different? Maybe Dutch?
- We might not have had a French Revolution, or it may have been different, because a lot of the ideas from the American Revolution inspired the French Revolution.
- Since the French Revolution have rise to the idea of the modern nation state and Napoleon, we'd not have a lot of countries.
I wish the British won the revolutionary war
I wish I remembered which episode that Dennis and Mac were dressed like this.
Watched it recently, S04E11
Looks more like the French to me, mate.
