Put it whatever way you want man, its your call. I think though that calling the US the only former dominion to surpass the UK is a bit off. What about India? A billion or so people, an emerging super-economy thats going to rival China’s, nuclear weapons. These guys will be one of the super-powers of the next 100 years or so.
The antagonism is all on your side of the pond though, my reponse was only intended to irritate some of your more anti-UK posters here on FR (and there are loads mate). My point is that the revolution IS a thing of the past. But here on a thread that SHOULD be looking at the sate visit to the US of our Queen , I read anti-UK posts. There are those that simply seek out UK based stories and then post garbage on them, just wanting to start a fight.
As for cultural superiority, you may be right, but its not for you to say really. We DO have the longest history of all of the English speaking nations, therein the most culture. Not an offence man, just plain fact.
“With all the vile enemies in the world today, the English speaking world should be sticking together anyway, after all we are very closely related.”
Your right man, but the argument shouldn’t be made towards me. Make it to the anti-UK gang that chase up UK stories. We are allies, so maybe you should start behaving like one. Or perhaps we will find some new ones.
The anti-UK posters on FReep are a disgrace. Fortunately, they are also a small minority, just as they’re small-brained. The alliance of the English-speaking peoples is a real thing to most Americans, and to all real conservatives.
In 1940-41, these Britain-haters would have been shrugging off the Nazi threat — and not caring whether they were right or not.
