We are trying to resolve the problem peacefully, so why do you hate us. The whole splitting up happened hundreds of years ago, and now you hate us for trying to fix it.
Don't forget, I'm English, and as far as I know, so is my heritage. It's just our country doesn't have much going for it.
Our country sucks man, we got mad racism, stupid laws where there shouldn't be and no laws where there should, crappy censorship, and all young teenagers here semm to be bastards, as do a lot of adults. We got stupid music (Fast Food Rockers anyone?), bad TV, where soaps and sport take presidence over everything, and relity shows are rapidly taking over more so than America, where their reality shows don't suck as much. The media generall sucks here, we got the monarcy who live off us, and the government who don't know what the fuck's going on with anything.
I'm I could go on, but I have to work now. Maybe I'll trink of something else later.
I don't approve of any violence. Luckily i'm not living in an area where I can be affected by it. I think the Irish people do have their right to the whole of Ireland rather than England having rule over 6 counties. I've nothing against english people if they don't try to influence our daily lifes

i agree with whatever noodle says... sure, there are some nuances, but how many other countries let you just go into a hospital, get treated, and walk out, without even having to tell them your name?
Sport is a big waste of time. It really is. Money too. It just happens to be an entertaining waste of time.
Think, how many millions (or billions, I don't know) was spent constructing the olympic complex for 2000? We're the highest taxed country in the world, and that money could've been spent elsewhere. I'm sure it'll pay itself off one day, but it was still a waste of labour and cash at the time.
And the sports themselves, well, I'm all for sport if that's what floats your boat. Run around with a few mates, have fun, get fit. Fine. But don't pay a few elite millions to run around and do the exact same thing, and certainly don't pay millions to be allowed the privilage of watching them. During the time you spend watching the game you could be out spending that money to cure world hunger or something. Or, god forbid, playing some sport yourself.
Nowhere does it say you have to be fit to watch sport, so the fat, bitter geek stereotype isn't really fair. Plenty of people hate sport, and they dont have to be fat, geeky, stupid, onpatriotic or any combination of these to do so.
But commercial sport still takes place, because there are still people willing to waste their time watching it. I'm not one of them, but if you are then I'm happy you find more enjoyment in it more than I do.
Asparaugus Trevor: Why do hate the royals so much?, they cost nothing compared to US (as in Britain) keeping Europe afloat and its companys (peugeot, fiat etc), the Labour government gave £14 billion last year (All our Gold reserves in one go!) to Europe and every minute we give even more millions (i think its a about a few million a minute if i remember right)
I say we pull out of Europe, and invest our money in our country!
Think about our gold reserves, they could have paid for police everywhere, hospitals everywhere, schools everywhere.
I say bring back Concorde (The plane with safest record!!!!! yet they scrapped it for a country who did not service them right, steel reinforced tyres ring a bell?), and if i was in power i would plant a 40% import tax on European goods (such as cars becuase thats basically what they did to OUR products. IE subsidised cars when Morris and Austin was about).
Hitlers almost got his way anyway, we are almost algamated into the European 'super' state, why did our grandads bother fighting? (seen the Euro coins with Britain on it?)
I said why I hate the royals so much, I don't think it's right that a bunch of people can live off the rest of the country simply because they were born into a certain family. They may bring tourist dollars into the country, but the basic premise of the royal family is rediculous. Especially how they don't pull their weight . "Royal duties" my arse, I'd hapily visit a hospital of sick children or say a few words at Christmas for the luxury they live in.
I should have kept my mouth shut about that all that stuff, this is how I usually make enemies, especially my views on religion and football being the two major evils...
"We got stupid music ..." - AsparagusTrevor
As if! Ever heard of the Beatles? Their English. Not to mention some more of the biggest and best rock acts ever seen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, Radiohead...the list goes on. I mean sure, they're all considerable old bands, but still, new music is getting worse anyway

Aspargus Trevor: the monarchy DOES serve a purpouse, if you read your history books you would know Sir Oliver Cromwell set up rules for how the land is to be governed. He created 5 powerhouses, the government, THE MONARCHY, the house of lords, the miltary etc.
This was so if one powerhouse tried to take complete control and became corrupt the overs can take over. Thats why the curent goverment is trying to get red of the monarchy and the house of lords.
At any time the monarchy can call for an emerency goverment and can even choose who is in the government.
I hate it when people hate the monarchy without knowing anything about goverment or history.
So there is Royal Duties including passing all laws .
I dont hate you, (ive got lots of mates like you in real life , jeez do we have some arguments, when sober of course ) it just really gets me annnoyed when people cuss the monarchy without knowing the full story.
