Your contant attempts at trying to undermine anyone who may have gotten the upper hand are laughable. Of course I didn't compile the list myself you nitwit. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of German implants. However I am familiar with Operation Paperclip. It was as easy as looking it up on Wikipedia, following through the link to 'List of German rocket scientists in the United States' and et voila.

Someone else typed the list. I took it. The person who typed it also took it from someone or something else. Does it change anything? Absoloutely not.

lol @ "operation paperclip"

anyways. do you honestly think i give a flying crap? I was born in 1982. The fact thjat my forefathers aquired the knowledge to end the worst war in modern history is a source of pride for me. Do i give a a flying ******* how they did it? no, i'm just glad not to be speaking japanese or russian right now. as you should be.

Gratitude is a dying art.

I'm not patriotic at all, but I'm not comfortable when someone offends my country. I would really love to get out of here.

Why do you keep bringing up slavery? Seems like a thorn in your side, or a real chip on your shoulder.

Anyways just to show you what a stupid and ignorant argument that one is, just like all your arguments really, what do you make of this:

1502 First African slaves taken to the Americas.

1776 Declaration of Independence made by Continental Congress

1781 Effective end of the land war between US and UK

1783 Cessation of Hostilities between US and UK

1787 Constitution of the US adopted by the Continental Convention.

1790 William Wilberforce presents the first abolition bill to the House of Commons, but it does not pass

1791 US adopted Bill of Rights.

1807 The Transatlantic Slave Trade is abolished by the British Parliament. US also bans the slave trade, to take effect the following year.

1833 Abolition of Slavery Act – Britain abolishes slavery and provides for the emancipation of enslaved people in the British West Indies, to take effect in August 1834.

1861 US Civil War starts (one of the reasons being slavery)

1865 The Thirteenth Amendment marks the abolition of slavery in the USA at the end of the American Civil War.

Seems like you Yanks were a lot fonder of slavery than us.

Oh yeah.. some foreigners at work were sort of going on at me about England and it's history and how we "took over" other countries. Seems like some people still have a chip on their shoulder. Was going to answer back.. was going to say that it's a bit hypocritcal of them to say that. Why are you in this country then? I didn't though.. I would have got the sack I bet. It's a bit disgusting really. Lack of freedom of speech but foreigners can say what they like. Most of them are fine. I just started talking and then 1 or 2 of them were goading me a bit. Mmm.

Yeah, they hate us/our country, but are happy to live here.

Pretty used to that attitude now tbh :)

Disgusting. And now we have to learn to take a "blind eye" to it all! I think it is creeping me out a bit that in years to come.. white British will be a minority. Okay I don't mind this but I know a few foreigners would want to take over. Mainly for the reason to get their "payback" I reckon. 2 wrongs don't make a right. These foreigners with a chip on their shoulder need to get with the times. The UK is generous. Arn't we the most giving country in the world when it comes to giving money to charity?? I thought we are!

I bet in years to come I will be forced out of this country. May end up being emmigrated to Austrlia or New Zealand. I can imagine that happening.

InOne 12-01-2011 10:49 PM

Thing is though, it's the 2nd generation that are the worst, cos they're brought up with the attitudes of their parents, so they're born with a chip on their shoulder

Well I dont really know who the foreigners are but generally they're here because we offer a better standard of living than their home countries, and a lot of this countries prosperity was built on the back of it's imperialism.
