sign me up.
things i like about uk would be Heinz and sean connery.
things i hate would be VAT, hardware prices compared to america and the art gcse (no one in my school has got an A* in the past 7years)

@ kurosagi01: WW2 started because:germany got hit by treaty of versailles, became unhappy> hitler used it to gain votes for nazis> hitler coming into power and pissing of nearby countrys (incl invasion of poland).

I shotgun the man who decides what's in the fridge that way I'd never have moments like this where the only food is UBER strong cheddar and the only drink is off tasting milk that's not due to go off for 3 days.
On the south of that divide you may have money but to the north we have the comedy.

fascists dont work like that they have an inner circle and the top man, the inner circle trys to over power him, it works on fear and propaganda

fuck it we are nearly fascist already we have a queen right who has divine right who can do whatever she likes not that she does

social values are different from whats actually happening just because one society finds it okay dosnt mean that it really is

if another war starts we should hide in our little island and use our navy and air force to save us, face it we dont have an expedition force anymore its not like people in the UK are healthy and fit to fight if we needed conscription

who the fuck would we fight anyway its not like there is a huge power that we hate, okay iran but they are hardly worth it

i wonder why we havnt seen a NOD copycat group (command and conquer) LOL

Its in my own home under the supervision of parents - in other words legal

Telling me you never drank under the age of 18?

And the language thing - have you ever noticed that despite us being a very small country in comparison to say N. America / Russia, China and so on, we are one of the most influential in the world and expect all other nations to speak our language

Soubeiran produced chloroform through the action of chlorine bleach powder (calcium hypochlorite) on acetone (2-propanone) as well as ethanol. Chloroform was named and chemically characterised in 1834 by Jean-Baptiste Dumas.

In 1847, the Edinburgh obstetrician James Young Simpson first used chloroform for general anesthesia during childbirth. The use of chloroform during surgery expanded rapidly thereafter in Europe. In the United States, chloroform began to replace ether as an anesthetic at the beginning of the 20th century; however, it was quickly abandoned in favour of ether upon discovery of its toxicity, especially its tendency to cause fatal cardiac arrhythmia analogous to what is now termed "sudden sniffer's death". Ether is still the preferred anesthetic in some developing nations due to its high therapeutic index (~1.5-2.2) and low price. Trichloroethylene, a halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon related to chloroform, was proposed as a safer alternative, though it too was later found to be carcinogenic.

call it the british empire sure it crushed other cultures and was pretty harsh but it did a lot for globalisation!

No i have never drank alchol untill i was 18! AYE RIGHT! TBH i just dabbled in it, still dont drink much these days and im legal. Legal sounds so nasty lol.

You want some sort of mind control then to get them to do what ever you like, like build a giant stature from mature blocks of cheese in honour of you!

I disagree, we all think we have independence but really in the end we all going to need one another for one resorce or another.

All this crap about the economy (money) we don't even need it to survive, IF we used other ways of payment the whole world would be better off in the long run and we'd probably have more technology than we do at this moment in time if things wasn't all about GREED.

But just to add.... England should own all! haha... okay and Wales, Scotland & Ireland should too. LOL!

Dont you forget it a Scottish king united the crowns and technically wales dosnt exist!
In 1536, the Act of Union brought England and Wales together, united into one.

So its a principality in part of the UK not its own country.

English law means its part of England and then the UK later when Scotland joined.

IF we went back to barter trade and not a banking and money system of trade it would be a backwards step youd have to trade something someone wanted to get something else, its like you would need to trade with the butcher something he wanted to get meat you couldnt just work and buy meat.

I heard about a pub up somewhere in yorkshire that does that. you can barter for a pint though they do have their regular paying customers of course.
