O.K. This shows a total lack of regard for the fellow human. I was serious. This drug effects all those around the user.

LOL, of course you were serious. I would expect no less from a subject of Her Majesty the Queen. You've had all sense of personal responsibility and independent thought bred out of you.

I don't have to take that ill thought out shit from you!

The queen is more than a fiqurehead.
And who has had an idiot running their country for 8 years?!

In the immortal words of Obi Wan Kenobi,

"Who is more foolish? The Fool or the fool that follows him?"

Your PM's have been asking "How high?" every time Bush has said "Jump!". You blithely go along with anything the United States says, while at the same time doing everything you possibly can to ensure that your country is full if the biggest pussies on the planet. Look at yourself! Cameras on the street corners, requiring ID to buy fucking flatware...you're just happily marching to 1984 and all you can do is some grade-school "I know you are but what am I" bullshit.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Britain changed the face of the world. But "Great Britain" doesn't deserve the title anymore. Nothing Great about it. Think I'm wrong? Prove it. Defend yourself, if you remember how! Convince me that Great Britain has something worthwhile to offer other than terrible food, leaky motorcycles, and bearded special forces.

I didn't vote Labour last time there was an election. It's not my fault that others did. The media talks up the government and the public vote for them. People are stupid but not the individual. I've been cleaver enough to stay away from the damaging drugs like pot.

Your right, Britain isn't as great as it once was and that's down to the government. FACT!
We haven't had to defend ourselves since the Falklands war in the 80's. We won that in under a month! Our country hasn't been successfully invaded since 1066!
We don't offer Terrible food. Nor leaky motorcycles. Triumph has always made excellent motorcycles. If our special forces are bearded it's because they haven't had a chance to shave because the Taliban have attacked them in Afghanistan. BTW America left that hell hole to us. They couldn't even finish what they started.
So for that 'I know you are but what am I' Bullshit. Well it seams you are a hypocrite. America hasn't offered us anything worthwhile in ages!

[Orangejuice]

I like how it's ok for Britons to vote in someone who's incompetent, but when Americans do it, that's of course bad.

That's a good point. But You can't blame me for voting labour when I didn't. I won't blame you for voting republican as i'm not sure which way you do vote.

Oh, congratulations. You defended a set of islands, populated by sheep, from Argentina. I'm sure the Queen is so proud.

So she should be! It's our territory, why shouldn't we defend it? You'd defend Hawaii if they suddenly came under attack.
Plus stop poking fun at the Queen. You don't know what she does for this country. So take a hike!

Wait, what about when the French came in 1216? What about the hostile dutch takeover 1688?

The french couldn't invade a bakery. William of Orange had to have links to the royal family to accend to it.

And nevermind your limey asses being pulled out of the fire in 1941. You'd be goosestepping down picadilly square if it weren't for us. By your definition of "invaded" we've *never* been successfully invaded, in the entire history of our country.

Ture the American's did help turn the tide of WW2. The French and Belgian's are the most grateful for that. Britian still wasn't in danger of being successfully invade even then. The Germans were still years away from even a good plan.

In ages huh? You mean except for the internet you're posting on.

A brit invented the internet. Maybe for the American Army, but it was still a brit.

[The One]

Did the UK invent the internet?

Are the French really so hapless that they can\\\'t invade a bakery?

Does the queen like her sheep so much, that she would defend an island populated by them?

Was Britian ever in any danger of being invaded in WWII, is 1066 the last time they will be invaded?

Will Obi Wan Kenobi be able to train Luke Skywalker to become the last Jedi?


More to come...

But all this is academic. The truth is that you believe what you\\\'re told to believe, like a good little subject of Her Majesty the Queen, and you do it without thinking, without questioning, without any sense of independent thought or scepticism.

Might have been more effective if we had moved their posts too.

im too lazy.

hehe.

maybe ill get to it later on

OJ, you're a moron to assert that a brit created the internet.

The internet spawned from DARPA's reasearch, and was initially called ARPANET.

http://en.wikipedia....erts_(scientist)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Kleinrock
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Kahn
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinton_Cerf

All Americans. You're up shit creek without a paddle.

Oh, and OSI was a convoluted crackpipe that's good in THEORY but was too complicated for PRACTICE. So we chucked it out the window and we use TCP/IP instead, which is now what everything uses. And this was done way, way after ARPANET was online.

If you want further proof on American influence of computers, computers used a certain code for character display before UNICODE came along called ASCII. Which stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, and it is still in the spec for UNICODE (Unicode is 16-bit, ASCII is the lower bits - 0-127).

I normally don't wave the flag so much, but I'd love to see you prove that a brit created the internet. Because, it never happened.

If you're thinking of Tim Berners Lee, that's the World Wide Web, and he didn't actually create that either. But that is not the internet.

I don't consider myself a moron. But you just know a little more than me. That's all.

I may have been thinking of him. But aren't the World Wide Web and the Internet connected. url's have www. at the start!

[Carl]

The internet is all computers connected over multiple sets of networks. The world wide web is simply the hypertext presentation layer (such as this web page) and the communication protocols (http, https) needed to use it. MSN and AIM operate over the internet without being part of the world wide web. As does email, video chat, etc. If you even use the FTP protocol (ftp://), you aren't technically using the world wide web for that, though generally you do obtain the link to the ftp server from a world wide web-based presentation.

See http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/history/inventednet.html for more information.

Oh, and Berners-Lee created the foundations for the WWW and got the ball rolling. If you were to say he was the father of the WWW, no one would disagree...but certainly, no one person created the WWW because after the ball was rolling, everyone created the WWW. You help create it by posting here.

Would you say that Al Gore had more to do with it than the Brits?

[Tommi Danger]

interesting thing to throw in here, so today i was checking some stuff out about ice hockey...turns out we invented that. Yet another sport we created but suck at!

Erm, what exactly does the monarchy do for us? Feck all, they're just a load of spongers. Our country is, and has been, run purely be the government for the longest time. And they're just as useless.

well at least we can all agree, the french discovered DNA.

[Carl]

Sorry, but I did major in that stuff. And I believe in giving credit where credit is due. My apologies for the insult, OJ.
