      You're pretty good at slapping around South American countries...

      Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

        Britain is the financial center of Europe. Does well with being a center of trade as well.

        Some things just ain't broken...
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              If I may...

              Britian's troubled at least in part because she keeps thinking that she's part of Europe, and it doesn't seem to fit her populace.

              Britian is something different. She's the cultural and spiritual head of an Anglican nation. Britian has far more in common with America, Canada and Australia than she does with Europe, and I think her population won't be happy untill she realises that.

              Personally, I would be damn proud to call myself a citizen of the UK.

                    It doesn't rain in Britain anymore?

                    I thought of some more!

                    Junkyard Wars (the American host sucks!)
                    Battlebots (not the same show, but that British one was first)
                    TONS of gameshows, of which the great ol' US of A had to rip off!
                    Reality TV


                    Now, you can say I already mentioned the BBC, but it's more than that. Weakest Link brought about a small cultural revolution is the US. People run around saying "you are the weakest link...bye bye". It isn't easy to create a fad statement (see above thread) and it's something to be proud of. And reality TV? Although it's not really my cup of tea, my wife sure likes it, which by default means I have to watch it. It has spawned a PLETHORA of knockoffs over here, and you have single-handedly given us the inspiration that lowered the IQ of US citizens by 10, without even trying!! THAT, sir, is an accomplishment!

                    I don't know about British pessimisim...I think you are a very stalwart bunch of people. I guess you are your own worst critic, but one thing you can say about British people...you can't keep them down. Cheers!

                      I'm pretty Coca-Cola was orignally English...the Internet is technically English too.

                      We seem to have quite a few good inventions but we can't create good politicans.

                        England has great music as well. My favorites include...

                        Supergrass
                        Pulp
                        Craig David
                        Blur...yeah I'll let you have that. Radiohead...yeah, used to be good. Supergrass, pretty cool and yeah, Pulp, they have talent. But what in the name of frig is CRAIG DAVID doing in there?

                        That putrid little weaself*cker should have his genitalia removed with a rusty razor and thrown in a vat of salt. He is an insult to my hearing.

                            That's because you guys can't decide whether you want to be part of the European Union or part of the United States.

                              I'd go with Europe probably. The US is really too far away for an effective relationship, and I don't agree with everything they do - they could do with some healthy opposition.

                              However, on this I would bet a dollar to a dime (sorry for the pun) that I'm massively in the minority.

                                -You guys don't have enough people
                                -You don't have enough minority people (such as blacks who excel at speed sports), you are getting a more diverse culture but still don't have the large populations of them
                                -You have no abundance of natural resources
                                -Your place is very small
                                -Your place lacks diversity of terrain
                                -Your best rank and file leaders ("The flower of a generation") were all killed during the first 50 years of the last century
                                -Your infrastructure was wrecked by the Germans 60 years ago, with a costly rebuilding
                                -Most of your money, influence, and power, was destroyed or lost during the 2 world wars
                                -Your weather sucks

                                However, Britain still remains the most networked country in the world. You guys punch above your weight given what little you have left to work with.

                                The only other nation besides the US that can project a large military force anywhere in the world. France can try to do it, but not with a signifcant sizable force like UK.

                                You guys aren't as bad as you think you are. Although I realize it's a part of British culture to be cynical about EVERYTHING.
