Very nice reply, Lamp! You’re a thoughtful person...

Well thank you! I try to look at different perspectives with objectivity, and I sometimes falter because of my own biases, but I try to see beyond just what I have been told. I try to be an independent and objective thinker and sometimes I manage it. :)

I’m one of the few people who consistently blame the British for bringing that effen evil institution to our shores. They take no responsibility for it any more than they do their contributions to Africa, India or the Caribbean. And yet, every day, in their newspapers, they bash us for racism!

If one looks at the History of the British with Objectivity, it soon becomes apparent that the British have been some mean F***ing Bastards for quite a long time. They have done quite evil things in their History, but to be fair, they have also done a lot of good things.

They are shrewd, bold and ruthless when the occasion requires it, and I think they have an inherent mean streak that even the modern British still seem to reflect.

Now personally I like @$$holes because they usually have some personality, and If I was asked to point out some of my favorite @$$holes, I would invariably point to the British.

Simon Cowell, Chef Gordan Ramsey, Hugh Laurie as "House", Len Goodman of "Dancing with the Stars" and Vinnie Jones, to name a few.

But getting back to the British in History, what they did to China was quite horrible, and much of Britain's wealth and empire was the consequence of it. Their role in the Slave trade was also horrible.

Yes, the British are and have been quite the vicious bunch. Good to have on your side in a fight though.
