Stupidity in an easy to access form, the internet.

"People of the world, it's time to get paid."

Great battle cry, it'll fetch just the right kind of people too.

Seeing as the site is down, I could hardly care about it...

And as always handing something to the queen is more symbolic then anything else... But if I were you I still wouldn't really underestimate the power of the royal family

I think it's really, very irrelevant.

The site works now, and I have to say some of it is hilarious...

Britain is evil because it invented things and gave us factory's and modern technology... How incredibly evil, like life before those things was easy.

What countries aren't in debt to someone?

to start with the world back estimates that britain is owed around 36,000,000,000 from other countries but never mind



lets have a look at some of these unstable and non self sufficient countries

Canada
Australia
India
Malta
Cyprus
Gibraltar
Egypt
Oman
Kuwait
Hong Kong
Singapore
Malaysia
New Zealand



Britain never ran Saudi Arabia







you can see how laughable the claims are...the darfur genocide...heehee...here's a question...

what came 1st...the British Empire...or Islam and Christianity?

To many of those country's? The British Empire

Thing is still bullshit though

Despite reperations themselves being bullshit, international reperations sound even more retarded.

"My Great great great grandad owned your great great great grandad, therefore I owe you money." or in this case "My country used to owe your country, therefore I owe you money."

And why Britain? Well, we ruled the world...by buying goods from one country to another so everyone got what they want and we make a profit, taking over countries that couldn't fight -- no that's wrong. They could fight, they did fight, and they lost. Not my problem Britain evolved faster than Australia.

Hasn't Britain already given enough? We have more immigrants than any other country in Europe. Our army is stabalising countries all over the world. We help other countries, build for them etc.




Despite the fact that all the people who took over the land, left Britain and rebelled agianst Britain, and hated Britain. Also, these people came from other countries like Spain, France and Portugal. But the website neglects to mention how Spain and Portugal fought over the control of South America and that it is now more Spanish than Spain itself, how France ruled and took over Africa. And even before the colonal period, is this website going to blame the Vikings because they terrorised Europe, Arabia and Northern Canada? Or the Romans for defeating Greece and Celts? It seems to me that the author of this site doesn't realise that taking over new lands has been going around all over the world since the beginning of time. It's like saying white people slaving black people in America was the only type of slavery. Haha.

The industrail revolution changed the world for the better. If it wasn't for it, that website, the person who made it, all of us, these computers, basically, the entire world as we know it wouldn't exist. Instead we would have a completely different world. Yes, it went off at a bad start, but it got better. now, we live twice as long as the people before the IR thanks to medicine from the IR. We have socialism, which wasn't here before the IR. etc.

We waited until our backs were up against the wall? We were the ones who declared world war. We were the ones who helped Europe against Germany both times. We were the ones who stopped the war, we are the ones encouraging eastern Europeans to move to Braitian to better their lives.

As for ruling the middle east, we didn't rule it as much as we ruled India, again, the author neglects to mention this.

First I'm going to talk about this part. How did we invent the Black Plague? It went all over the world, like the Avian flu is doing now, are oyu going to blame us for that aswell? And Bad heigene? Or how about Child labour... Is this supposed to be a ****ing joke? Oh, and the machine gun is a German invention. That's why they had them in the WW1 and we didn't. But how wrong am I, the fact that I'm British is reason enough to assume I'm evil. Racist much?

You are American. 'Nuff said.




Painful...

Some of you ignorant Yanks make me sick. Honestly.

The only thing I'll concede to is the terrorist threat , but it was indirect due to the whole 'We give you your own holy land' thing.

I liked this bit:

"Iraq and terrorism? Britain mapped the Middle East."

Is the guy trying to imply that by mapping the Middle East, Britain somehow managed to create terrorism? It was followed quickly by:

"Slavery? Sir Francis Drake and his uncle, John Hawkins, shipped them over and founded the Royal Navy to protect their trade routes and markets."

Apart from the fact that slavery was not an invention by the British, they go on to say that Drake founded the Royal Navy. Where's the evidence of that ever occurring?

Slavery has been around all over the world. The Vikings for one had slaves from Britain. Does this mean Denmark is now the responcible for Slavery? in fact, it was all over Europe!

Egypt was first, let's blame the Egyptians... That way we can still blame all the worlds problems on Arabs, that would be kinda cool

I guess we could all get a paper round.

Britain was the most powerful nation in the world.

Way back in the day. Imperialism happens, it doesn't really make them "evil".

It's easier then attacking other rich country's....

I Like the bit about the monarchy holding onto absolute power

Have these guys ever heard of Magna Carta or the Civil War?

And how did the British invent the prison? Either way, it's better than the dungeons that came before....

I suggest that this guy, Steven A. Grasse is a narrow-minded, bigoted, misinformed cvnt, and I move that we declare him an official enemy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

here in the states we call it a paper route.

And there in the states, you don't even pronounce 'route' correctly...

There in the states you probably do your paper 'route' in a car, then say that the British 'invented' global warming.

Not that we Brits enjoy having a go at the Yanks or anything.....
