King arthur was basque(hebrew of the bible,original celt,original european,atlantean)The Basques were the real Brits.You are at the mercy of biased people when you dont write your own history and sadly the basques didnt write our own history.
...hmmm... and if I would have had horses... then I would try to train those work-horses to mule-kick on command... YUP! ...and to bust-open doors... or to mule-kick anyone who came walking-in on to my property... and asking for taxes... and to of-course to make it look like an unfortunate-accident... and that my horse got spooked... and broke-and-busted the rib-cage of an English-tax-collector... stopping-his-heart...
...and as for the assumption of someone such as my self... treating people as animals... then those who ever had a smart dog... or a smart German Shepherd... know that it's always BEST to apply the Golden-Rule... and especially with animals... and if I would have had farm-animals and guard-dogs... then I would want them to be almost as smart as me... and to have them drink smart-beer... and healthy green-vegetables... and to see if those animals would recognise their own selves in a mirror...
...or maybe all that we know... about the history of the United-States could have been changed AFTER WW2... or changed during the Prohibition/war-on-alcohol... or maybe changed after the civil-war... becase we do have to keep in mind... of how everything that is written in the history-books... could be all a bullshit-lie... and an English/British-psychological-lie... to piss-off and anger the different groups of people... hmmm... and maybe the US-of-A ...was the-United-States-of-France... hmmm?!
...and tobacco was also grown... and anything that grew-well in the South-East... would be grow along with food-crops... such as grain and wheat and barley... and last but not least... ca$h-crops... for export... and to sustain life in the new-Colonies... and there was also sugar-cane... hmmm... and all of this was BEFORE machinery... or maybe... maybe the United-States and the thirteen-colonies where always ruled by the English-whip... and even kids must have been encouraged/whipped to work
and... and lets remember on how hemp was grown... and that all the ropes and sailing-material and equipment used for a merchant-ship was made out of hemp becase a hemp-rope was the strongest... hmmm... and cotton was used only for clothing... or maybe even paper... yet there must have also been hemp-clothing... and there must have been more of a need for hemp... and more of a market for hemp-products... and more money in growing hemp... and less of a need for cotton... and I am being realistic
...hmmm... becase in-reality... when your superstitions and adventurous... and value your own life... and want to be healthy... and to have good-Karma... then I would NEVER want anyone giving me the evil-eye... and if they do... then ONLY becase of jealousy...
...and when I think about it... then the harvesting of a cash-crop was probably-and-more-then-likely harvested-and-picked all-day-long... and all-night-long... hmmm... becase you have to harvest the crop at the right moment in time... and if everyone made money together... and if everyone received a percentage... with no-secrets... and no-lies... where physical-labor was what paid the most money... and lets remember on how the populations was a lot smaller... with a smaller workforce to manage..
...and if it would have been up-to-me... to motivate my work force... then how-about free-rent... and free-land to cultivate-and-grow whatever you choose... and to grow-your-own-food for sale.. or to be bartered-for... yet just as long as you fulfil your end of the bargain... or your end of the deal... and pick-the-cotton when harvesting time comes around... and this was before pre-employment-drug-testing was enforced... hmmm... and as for harvesting any crop... time-is-of-the-essence...
...and lets remember... that there where indentured-servants... who had to re-pay their loans for the voyage to the new-world... and/or economical-slaves... hmmm... plus... it's supply-and-demand... and with labor and workers in short-supply... then I would NOT be surprised... if some of those landowners... used the logic-or-the-carrot ...instead-of-the-whip... to have their fields-of-cotton picked... where high-wages would have lure-in every able worker to "slave-away" ...and get rich fast
Ha! Europe is merely a tourist attraction? I'm sure that's right, haha. Your silliness actually makes me laugh. Uneducated people these days, huh? Well, America is grateful for her European allies. When someday, you see the Chinese ships on the horizon, you'll know. Your country is trillions of dollars in debt. China's economy is rocketing upwards, and soon you'll find that the marvellous USA is in 2nd place, and I'm looking forward to the day. France is the most toured country in the world.
We're trillinos in debt, but our debt doesn't matter. The world's trading currency is the US dollar, so we control our own debt, which means our debt is meaningless.
And besides, when you count % of foreign debt, the uk has 4x more.
And our economy is growing too, unlike the european economy.
As i've already said, france is the most toured because of it's romance, etc.
But look at IMMIGRATION. What country is the most immigrated?
@andrewm153351 Actualy many countries are turning away from American in trading so the American dollar has fallen behind, also it wasnt long ago the dollar got downgraded. The EU actually has a larger economy than America and more countries are joining the EU. The USA has the highest debt in the world and Russia actually has the most immigrants in the world(most of them illegal).
Nope. Now with the failing of the EU, the dollar is actually GAINING buyers. And our GOVERNMENT got downgraded, not the dollar. LOL the eu is 27 countries with 500 million people and yet it BARELY has a bigger GDP than the US. And guess what? Our GDP is growing FASTER than the eu's so pretty soon we'll be worth more than the entire eu
(which is 27 countries),
And the eu has a higher PERCENT of debt, which matters more.
And no, the US has over 2x more immigrants than russia
@andrewm153351 British Virgin Islands Caribbean Netherlands (from 1 January 2011) East Timor (uses its own coins) Ecuador (uses its own coins in addition to U.S. coins) El Salvador Marshall Islands Federated States of Micronesia Palau Panama (uses its own coins in addition to U.S. coins Puerto Rico Turks and Caicos Islands Only 11 use the US dollar as there currency some along with there own currency The euro is the sole currency of 17 EU member states you fail
@andrewm153351 Since 1999, the dollar's dominance has begun to be eroded by the euro, which represents a larger size economy, and has the prospect of more countries adopting the euro as their national currency. The euro inherited the status of a major reserve currency from the German mark (DM), and since then its contribution to official reserves has risen as banks seek to diversify their reserves and trade in the eurozone continues to expand
@andrewm153351 Correct 60% of the world's banks use the DOLLAR for "reserves". Compare that to 25% that use the euro.
"To date" but in 2002 the dollar was 70.7% and in 2011 that has droped 9%to 61.7% and the EU has progressed by 4% from from 2002 to the current date so in terms of progress the EU is doing better in it's reserves
However. Do you not know what has happened lately in the eu? It's on the bridge of collapsing. Many of the main countries (including the uk) have CONTRACTED in terms of gdp in the latest numbers Meanwhile, the US gdp has GROWN substantially.
The euro was doing good when their economy was doing good, but as expected, it's all going to shit now because you can't deal with everyone's debt
@andrewm153351 the US dollar "reserve-currency status", making it somewhat easier for the United States to run higher trade deficits with greatly postponed economic impact or even postponing a currency crisis. Central bank reserves held in dollar-denominated debt, however, are small compared to private holdings of such debt. In the event that holders of dollar- assets decided to shift holdings to assetsin other currencies, there could be serious consequences for the US economy.
Lastly, the eu is 27 countries combined. The fact that 27 countries combined BARELY compare to the US which is only one country is pretty sad.
The reason why the % of the euro has grown since 2002 is purely because of the amount of countries that have entered the eu and bought euros. It has little to do with OTHER countries buying euros.
Nice try though ;)
And if you look at the LATEST data, you will see that the euro reserve % is FALLING, and the dollar isn't.
And you keep mentiong the dollar reserves, the gold reserves, and immigration. But what does that actually mean to you, a normal lower-middle class American? You don't have a say in how dollars are spent, gold shared out, so there is no point in going on about it. What good are those to you? Maybe you should talk about awful American education system, or how you have need to pay for health care, or being shot in your home because of those ridiculous gun laws.
lower middle class? haha don't make me laugh son. Yes, some people have to pay for healthcare in America, but we have the BEST hospitals and QUALITY of care. We also have one of the lowest waiting times for surgeries in the world. There's a REASON why diplomats and foreign leaders BEG us to let them use our hospitals.
Ridiculous gun laws? The overall crime rate in britian is higher than the US. Yeah, we have a higher murder rate, but murder is still rare. Not overall crime though
@andrewm153351 two days no reply ? still thinking of a comback or have you got it into you're head no one wants you here and that no one like you ha ha ha silly boy
@andrewm153351 Do ya know that the USA actually doesnt have any money? Apple company owns more money then the American government, the USA borrowed a hell of a lot of money from China and can't afford to pay it back, but whatever i say to an American kid is clearly gonna be rejected cus he loves his country too much.
That is truly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, about France anyway. Romance is a contributing factor to why people visit the country, but many people go to look at art, to go to Paris fashion stores, to see French architecture, to visit their families, or to go to seaside resorts, just to name a few. Romance is not the only reason why people go.
You obviously don't know what "romance" means. I was talking about the romance in a historic perspective, not falling in love with someone. Jesus you're almost as retarded as that hawk guy
Holy Crap will you Limeys and Yanks ever stop the pissing contest. As a Yank, there's nothing like "getting pissed" with a bunch of Limeys and realizing you can't understand a word they are saying... Cheers to our partner in Crime the UK! -Love Amurika
"The sun never set on the British Empire...." cos it was what you can call a BIG empire. The largest empire ever & covered over 1/4 of the planet in it's geographical span & the British still have a large slab of it under the Commonwealth & British Oversea's territories & it's legacy & language lives on in so many nations, including India, HK and African nations, the WI, USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, SA.... Antartica, xd
First off, half of the countries in the commonwealth are in AFRICA. And britain doesn't CONTROL the commonwealth. The countries in the commonwealth are SOVEREIGN.
At the end of the day, the USA is the richest, strongest, most influential country TODAY.
@andrewm153351@andrewm153351 I'm being humorous, nvm. As for the USA being the most influential nation today; I'm looking at people fleeing California & I'm looking more at rising superpower China & Shanghai, tbh. Also I think it's more about a one-world government of powerful ppl running the world.
London is the current capital of the world. :)
(Fashion & financial & theatre & restaurant captial). NYC & London are the only 2 Alpha ++ cities on the globe.
@andrewm153351 London is the financial capital of the world, if you want me to send you a load of playlists on England, London, our capital, our world heritage sites, Richmond Park being 3 times larger than central park, loads of videos on London being the worlds financial, fashion, theatre & restaurant capital, i won't stop. Look it up, several global financial indexes list London as no.1, the head of Goldman Sachs spends more time in his London office than his NYC one too.
@andrewm153351 not to mention our top models of 20 decades, cars, planes, ships, military, undersea trains, inventions, discoveries, british museum holding 13 million ancient artefacts, leading actors & directors & special forces & make a comparison, I'll happily do so. :)
@andrewm153351 *20 years/2 decades. (And solid gold statues of them). And leading acedemic supermodels, and bands, that's just loads of areas where England is second to none.
@andrewm153351 why has Shanghai twice as many skyscrapers than NYC and planning to build another 1000 soon, and 300mph bullet trains, whilst roads in the US are de-gravelled, public services cut, street lights turned out, as US news reports show & long que's of unemployed ppl? Prince William & Kate saw thousands of homeless ppl in bankrupt Cali, on their visit there, last 5th July. Dubai has rotating skyscrapers, built by an Italian architect & indoor ski resorts.
@andrewm153351 nice of the US to pay London workers $1 billion for the new crystal style fortress embassy being built in London, complete with an English castle medieval style moat. The most expensive US embassy ever built, as a seal of friendship between the US/UK. The Queen is head of many nations btw. With London, the worlds financial capital, being the first city to host the Olympics & Paralympics for the 3rd time this summer, it should bring even more revenue in.
@andrewm153351 and without the UK's intelligence working with the CIA (who also showed them the ropes) and without the UK's most elite special forces in the world & best trained army, who else is no.1 ally to the US? Aston martins, concorde and undersea trains aren't bad tho, can't think of anything bigger still, then our red arrows, and our most advanced warship ever is off to defend the Falkland Isles soon & who has all the military bases for the US to use too around the globe?
Actually, 19 countries in Africa are in the commonwealth. Lol once again you failed. And if you count past members, it's 22. And if you can't tell already, i was pointing out that taking over Africa isn't an accomplishment, so bragging that you have more countries in africa means nothing.
How on earth did you disprove the FACT that America is the richest, and strongest and most influential?
By the way, did you know the US has almost 10,000n soldiers stationed in the uk?
@andrewm153351 you fat yank everybody hates you owe china Trillions they the new bosses now they will be talking over soon you are not influential the world despises the american government. At least when the british ran the show they actually done some good and gave to the world shaped the world.
@andrewm153351 wanna see a ton of vids on london being the worlds financial capital or our aerobatic display teams too? concorde or eurostar? aston martin showrooms?
@andrewm153351 our SAS are 2nd to none & the most elite special forces in the world, upon which all others are based. You should see vids on American analysts praising our elite SAS high training. Also watch SAS vids show them falling thousands of feet out of the sky, as well as low parachuting skills. You should see our Red Arrow display team who do minimal training & performed in so many nations, awarded as a team of excellence, and the BBC makes top quality documentaries.
Sorry but there's no hiding the fact that the new york stock exchange is almost 10x more powerful than the london one.
Saying the SAS is the most elite is OPINION.
You can say what you want out the military but at the end of the day the US military controls the world. there is no military that could match ours and you know it.
Documentaries? Sorry but America runs the movie industry. No argument there either.
@andrewm153351 America is the strongest we can all see that but how much you spend on military the Uk we are not a world power like we used to be but still powerful 3rd biggest defence budget 2011 not to bad for our size. Americans always seem to be attack us there allies on her you have came on a vid of the empire say we are the best we are the biggest? you wonder why people hate yous? i can admit america is the top dog now but we are allies can you admit how the empire shaped the modern world?
@andrewm153351 we have like 60 million on a island US has 300 half a continent I'm sorry but america has got a bad reputation most countries don't like america admit it we are not far behind because of tony blair taking us in to wars we didn't want to be in it's just the way it is we used to be the best allies till obama took power he is anti british now we are getting more involved with europe. Again you think the empire was all bad you can not see any benefits it gave or shaped the world?
@andrewm153351 Aw god americans like you there is just no point wrapped in you're american flag there is just no point in talking to you you have rose tinted glasses to america you have millions of children below the poverty line i watched a doc about it the other night and you are over the moon you have the best military you are obsessed with war you need to have it now go enjoy you're superior american life
@andrewm153351 Man, you've come to a British video which is essentially mocking the British empire, and yet you troll with your bullshit across all the comment pages. Seriously, grow the fuck up. You think the British Empire was bad? Well hey, take a look at America's attempt at Imperial rule. You guys love the bible, I suggest reading the story of the brother who tries to take the spec out of his brothers eye, despite having a log in his own.
it's funny how i saw you on videos like this about a year ago
talking trash
do you even have a life ? It also sounds to me that your jealous of the British
why els would you sit around vidoes of the British looking for ways to make you feel better ? your a joke to the world and America. mind you living in Texas AKA redneck vill you are to uneducated about the world. Nice making shit of you
@andrewm153351 lol you tard i have proved it time and time now you just don't know how to read idiot you need a girl friend mate i have no more time to wast on you see you next year on british video no lifer
lol ive reread all of your comments and none of them say anything about how America isn't the richest, strongest most influential country in the world.
And you can run away all you want, but you'll only prove to everyone how you got PWNED.
@andrewm153351 most influential ? it's an assumption of a small number of votes
strongest ? know one knows it out of you china and russia your comment an assumption
richest ? the US just almost hit default your credit rating just got a downgrade from aaa+ to aa+ the US economy has to borrow 4.4 billion a day to keep you from default
that rate is expected to drop if the US removes have it's army because you can no longer afford. us household income is $36,000 same as britan
Assumption??? What? Are you denying we're they most influential? Do i even have put up 5 reasons why we dominate the world? Do i?
We spend 3x more on our military than both russia and china combined. Our navy has more tonnage of ships than the next 13 largest navies COMBINED. We not only have the most advanced airforce, but the most aircraft as well.
Credit rating? You do realize that was for publicity right? Did our interest go up? NOPE. So it means nothing.
The uk has 4x more PERCENT of debt than the US. The uk has around $9 trillion foreign debt, which is over 400% it's economy. The US has $15 trillion, which is only 100% it's economy.
Lol who in the world told you the average household income of britain is $36,000??? Actually it's around $25,000.
Google it. We also beat you in average wages, average disposable income, average assets. Yeah, there's no argument there buddy ;)
@andrewm153351 ALL Assumption as for for UK debt your only 8 trillion off. you do know that the US owes 333 billion to the UK in debt. You spend 3x more on military ?
in the UK the people count not oil and your comment to SILVERCLOUD141 about the information from a DOC where do you get your information from? give me a link
@andrewm153351 Lol who in the world told you the average household income of britain is $36,000??? Actually it's around $25,000. lol you just owned your self
@andrewm153351 You sound insecure in america why do you need to diss the UK to make you're self feel better about america? Not one of our countries are perfect by a long shot but They are a lot better than most countries. America is more or less the UK on Steroids. What is you're problem with the UK it is one of you're countries best allies. We both help eachother with Intelligence go to war together have the same intrests and goals.
@andrewm153351 London is the world's financial capital, the City of London is the largest financial district in the world. Where've you been the last year? If you still don't believe me, I'll send you a load of video documentaries, reports & the global financial indexes which state this too. The Global Financial Index is just one of them; top ten financial centres of the world, 2011 & 2012, London (no.1) NYC (no.2) HK (no.3), that's just 1 index which states this. Look it all up.
How can you say london is the financial capital when the New York stock exchange is almost 10x bigger? How?
That global financial centre index that measures financial centres, talks about PER CAPITA financial centers, not overall nominal rankings. There's just no way getting around the FACT that the new york stock exhange dwarfs the london one. And guess what? That report is provided by the City Of London Corporation.
@andrewm153351 as for the SAS being the most elite & highly trained special forces in the world, I can show you documentaries which show why they are the best, this is not a matter of opinon. If we were discussing aerobatic display teams, like the red arrows vs the blue angels, this would be more a matter of opinion I think.
BWAHAHAHA of course you can. I can show you color books too.
Now what you CAN'T argue is the fact that the US has the strongest military in the world. Even if the SAS was the best (which they aren't) that still wouldn't negate the FACT that US has the strongest military force.
If you deny the fact that America has the strongest military force, you need to get your head checked.
So many enemies? Do you have any idea how many military allies the US has?
@andrewm153351 you fucking retard i know whta i earn on nat min and it's 24.000 GBP a years idiot i would like to see the fucking link two your info on income in the UK because so far this seems made up
hahaha you seem to be mad at the truth. The TRUTH is that the average American makes more than the average british person. I have already hilariously proven this to you.
Made up?
Google this- "Household Income wiki"
Click on the "median household income" link, scroll down and look for yourself. OR you can click on the "household income" link a little further down. Family income is FAMILY income, which is different from HOUSEHOLD income. Jesus you're retarded
@andrewm153351 There are 17.1 million families in the UK. ... Graphic showing average family statistics ... The average family income is £32779 before tax.
If you count FAMILY income, the US is $49,000. You see, there's a difference between the two.
There's no point arguing the FACT that the US beats the uk in just about every financial statistic. We have higher wages, higher income, higher standard of living, higher quality of life, higher GDP per capita, higher disposable income, higher gross income, etc etc etc
@andrewm153351 you fucking idiot the the numbers i gave you where in pounds and if worked out in USD = 51 600 you idiot
i have asked you for links to your info so far you have not so i am calling an end to this debate also also FAMILY and HOUSEHOLD income are the same thing you idiot i am do with this redneck
@andrewm153351 WOW you're debate is beased of info some as old as 2004 stock markets have changed since then we have had a global recession since then. you need to do better than that we are in 2012 now not 2004. anyway i have to go work i will leave you sit on youtube all day
I major in politics/business administration, so i don't need to ask any experts or watch movies to get information.
Your ranking is from the City of London Corporation, and it talks about financial centres PER CAPITA, not overall.
How can you say london is more financially important, when the new york stock exchange DWARFS the london stock exchange? Huh? Are you going to answer that this time?
@andrewm153351 huh? London > New York any day. London is centre of the world long time before your country even exist and the things havent changed even now. Its funny that you americans rly think that you are better than the Europeans dont you? You are at the same level with the european powerhouses like UK , France and Germany but countries like Netherlands , Denmark , Switzerland and Norway owned US in almost anything. Europe > US
@andrewm153351 New York Stock Exchange: In the Top 10 List of Biggest Stock Exchange we keep New York Stock Exchange in the 1st place. The Stock Exchange is located in 11 Wall Street in New York City. However, this stock exchange has witnessed numerous traumatic events in its history (WW I, 9/11, Black Thursday – 1929) but still it is the powerhouse of international financial community. New York Stock Exchange came into existence on March 8, 1817.
@andrewm153351 London Stock Exchange: In the Top 10 List of biggest Stock Exchange in the world we keep London Stock Exchange in the 5th place. This Stock Exchange is situated in Paternoster Square in City of London. This Stock Exchange is founded in the year 1801. It is one of the oldest Stock Exchange in the world. London Stock Exchange is considered as the heart of the global financial community and exclusively acts on world business
i like how you clearly quoted paragraphs that show the New York Stock Exchange being the #1 powerhouse, and the London Stock Exchange being #5.....
Do you realize how much you just failed? Even your own quotes show us being #1.
What they mean as the "heart of the global financial community" is that london trades with a lot of countries, NOT that it's more powerful than New York. New york mostly trades with the rest of the US.
@andrewm153351 i know that New York Stock Exchange is better you idiot and i have failed at fuck all for once i agreed with you but you are to arrogant to see that
@andrewm153351 Yeah right and who gave that motto to NY? The new yorkers or your major? Even Paris is better than NY , this is the most visited city in the world and is known as city of love and romantic , city of culture and art and many more. What about NY? What i have to see there? The ruins of world's trade center? Or pile of skyscrapers? If i want that i will go to tokyo or hong kong there are even more of them. Cities like Paris, London or Rome had soul :) They are Unique.
paris is the most toured because of it's history and romance, not because of it's importance. If you look at IMMIGRATION, and not just TOURISM, you will see that new york rapes all of them.
@andrewm153351 even better then the world and it's own people hate it
and as for your responce time i mean it's funny how i reply to your comment 8 hours later after work and your still at the computer trash talking so is that your life ? sitting on youtube all day making trash comments on videos about the british empire ? god you must have a shitty life
actually the occupy movement is directed to ALL stock markets and corporations you idiot. You think the occupy protestors in london are protesting the new york stock exchange? LOLOLOL.
And i just woke up you moron, that's why im here.
Shitty life? if only you knew the truth.....
It's sad how you have to work though. i pity you.
And you must have a REALLY shitty life being that you never have sex and know you're getting owned in the only thing you know, internet arguments.
LOL i love to work and make a days pay in life you ?
because you sound like the type who lives of other tax payers money
you just owned yourself and the only thing i know are internet arguments. ?
you sure because i saw you about a year ago haveing internet arguments. on the same kind of videos. and as for the occupy movement yes it's going on all over but you don't
First off, i trade stocks for a living, which is why im on my computer a lot. I probably make more in a 3 months than you do in a year. And don't bother coming back with lies about how much you make.
You are one illiterate fuck you know that right? Half the time i can barely understand what you're saying.
If we're so hated, can you please explain why we were voted the most admired country by an INTERNATIONAL poll?
so sitting on my computer checking stats of stocks, smoking weed, fucking escorts is work? Really?
"and you fail to give me a report from 2012"
What the fuck are you even talking about? Are you referring to the average income, average wages, etc? what the hell does that have to do with the stock market?
Jesus you're fucking retarded.
Those links i sent you were the latest numbers given.
@andrewm153351 checking stats of stocks,and making money is classed as working class you complete idiot. Human Development Index ? that changes all the time idiot and so far has not been updated for 2012 and is based of estimates.
And with 2012 olympics that will give shit loads of revenue to London
@andrewm153351 2010 Human Development Report US rank 16 United States 0.799 (decrease 9) 2009 rank 13 Human Development Report United States 0.956 (increase 2)
2008 Human Development Report rank 15
Never been out of the top ten ? Do you even read what you post you complete tard.
Did you even read my comment on the POLL !!!!! i said it was based of a small number of votes and was nothing more than assumption
@andrewm153351 In most regions of the world, opinion of the United States continues to be more favorable than it was in the Bush years, but U.S. image now faces a new challenge: doubts about America’s superpower status. In 15 of 22 nations, the balance of opinion is that China either will replace or already has replaced the United States as the world’s leading superpower idiot sorry but you are dumb
@andrewm153351 You do know the HDI is just a con thought up by the American government to keep the general population happy right? I didn't think so many people actually fell for it
@andrewm153351 And how could you say that Europe isnt superpower. From the roman empire , to nazi germany , ussr , british empire till nowadays Europe ALWAYS was and will be the greatest continent with the strongest countries. Yes lucky for you now US is stronger than any single European country (because of 2 world wars fought between the european powers not coz of you) but the combined power of UK , Spain , Italy , Germany and France + 22 countries is unstoppable. EU is No1 superpower.
"A superpower is a state with a dominant position that has the ability to influence events and its own interests and project power on a worldwide scale to protect those interests."
Aka, MILITARILY. The eu doesn't have a military. It has a humanitarian force, but it doesn't propel it's power on a global scale by means of military force. It has 27 different militaries, not interconnected.
And google it, the US is the only superpower after the USSR fell.
@andrewm153351 and remember who is the first ally to the US? Without the UK, who would the US depend on, with so many enemies in the world? Our intelligence services & military work so closely with the US.
@andrewm153351 Considering the size of our island too, I think it's quite impressive the things which have been achieved. If the US was the size of Britain.....
The UK successfully colonised many places, turned into highly developed places today, won wars alone too, anywhere the US tried to unsuccesfully colonise, from Cuba to Vietnam... it turned into a unsuccessful mess.
@andrewm153351read this time idiot lol The US National Debt has continued to increase an average of $4.00 billion per day since September 28, 2007. unemployment in the US is 42.9 percent . US debt is 15 Trillion Dollars.
strongest, MOST powerful country in the world. ? Russia is the super power and China is not far off also
The UK debt is 1 Trillion Dollars UK unemployment is 8.4 percent
@andrewm153351 the new years eve firework displays in London shown on yt vids & also in Sydney, Australia (where the Queen is also head of) rocked the planet, for 2011 & 2012 new year eve displays. Then go and watch the displays spent on NYC.
Because, he's talking about the English Colonies established by Gilbert in the 16th century, but has a Union Flag in the graphic. The Union flag didn't exist until the Act of Union in 1707. It should be a cross of St. George until then.
South Africa was abandoned by the British was it not? Once the Boer government came to be we basically withdrew and let them run themselves? Or has Wilbur Smith been lying to me in his semi-factual fiction books?
Oh god how stupid are you people? All you people making crude comments about Britain, British people (or any people from any country for that matter) are racist idiots!
ALSO @animesis Actually, the British have a much better education system than America... And if it weren't for the British, Americans WOULDN'T be like they are now - don't you know anything?
this is not very good. firstly while grasping the just of what the Empire was it not only get certain occurences in the wrong order but simple blankets over every important factor, it was not simply a mass land grab as described. colonisation of what was largely empty "wastelands", if you will, the bringing of enlightenment, science and Western ideas to backward regions also played a part. not to mention the fact that Great Britain was the first to actually abolish slavery. .
This is the kind of anti-British brainwashing the kids in the UK undergo in school. They are taught to hate themselves and their country and constantly feel like they are in debt to every other nationality. Its utterly pathetic. Without the empire, Britain would be nothing today, probably on par with Africa. There was a lot of blood spilt in the empire, but more benefits came to fruition because of it.
this is hilarious..and educational :p

When someday, you see the Chinese ships on the horizon, you'll know. Your country is trillions of dollars in debt. China's economy is rocketing upwards, and soon you'll find that the marvellous USA is in 2nd place, and I'm looking forward to the day. France is the most toured country in the world.

@RowanJustice
We're trillinos in debt, but our debt doesn't matter. The world's trading currency is the US dollar, so we control our own debt, which means our debt is meaningless.
And besides, when you count % of foreign debt, the uk has 4x more.
And our economy is growing too, unlike the european economy.
As i've already said, france is the most toured because of it's romance, etc.
But look at IMMIGRATION. What country is the most immigrated?
The US alone has 20% of the world's immigrants.

Yep, you just got owned AGAIN.
andrewm153351 2 days ago
@andrewm153351 Since 1999, the dollar's dominance has begun to be eroded by the euro, which represents a larger size economy, and has the prospect of more countries adopting the euro as their national currency. The euro inherited the status of a major reserve currency from the German mark (DM), and since then its contribution to official reserves has risen as banks seek to diversify their reserves and trade in the eurozone continues to expand
8XxHawkxX8 2 days ago
@andrewm153351 Correct 60% of the world's banks use the DOLLAR for "reserves". Compare that to 25% that use the euro.
"To date" but in 2002 the dollar was 70.7% and in 2011 that has droped 9%to 61.7% and the EU has progressed by 4% from from 2002 to the current date so in terms of progress the EU is doing better in it's reserves

First of all, yes the euro has grown since 2002.

@andrewm153351 the US dollar "reserve-currency status", making it somewhat easier for the United States to run higher trade deficits with greatly postponed economic impact or even postponing a currency crisis. Central bank reserves held in dollar-denominated debt, however, are small compared to private holdings of such debt. In the event that holders of dollar- assets decided to shift holdings to assetsin other currencies, there could be serious consequences for the US economy.
8XxHawkxX8 2 days ago
@8XxHawkxX8
First off, i like how you try to prove a non-existant point by copying and pasting everything you read by googling. How pathetic.
"private holdings" of debt are TRADED in dollar currency.
And you merely pasted a quote talking about IF, let me say that again, IF the currency switched, it would have consequences.
Well now that the eu is failing miserably we don't have to worry about that. And besides, the US still controls over 2.5x more reserves than the euro
andrewm153351 9 hours ago
@8XxHawkxX8
continued-
Lastly, the eu is 27 countries combined. The fact that 27 countries combined BARELY compare to the US which is only one country is pretty sad.
The reason why the % of the euro has grown since 2002 is purely because of the amount of countries that have entered the eu and bought euros. It has little to do with OTHER countries buying euros.
Nice try though ;)
And if you look at the LATEST data, you will see that the euro reserve % is FALLING, and the dollar isn't.

What is you're problem with the UK it is one of you're countries best allies. We both help eachother with Intelligence go to war together have the same intrests and goals.

@andrewm153351 London is the world's financial capital, the City of London is the largest financial district in the world. Where've you been the last year? If you still don't believe me, I'll send you a load of video documentaries, reports & the global financial indexes which state this too. The Global Financial Index is just one of them; top ten financial centres of the world, 2011 & 2012, London (no.1) NYC (no.2) HK (no.3), that's just 1 index which states this. Look it all up.

That global financial centre index that measures financial centres, talks about PER CAPITA financial centers, not overall nominal rankings. There's just no way getting around the FACT that the new york stock exhange dwarfs the london one. And guess what? That report is provided by the City Of London Corporation.

Definition of superpower-
"A superpower is a state with a dominant position that has the ability to influence events and its own interests and project power on a worldwide scale to protect those interests."
Aka, MILITARILY. The eu doesn't have a military. It has a humanitarian force, but it doesn't propel it's power on a global scale by means of military force. It has 27 different militaries, not interconnected.

this is not very good. firstly while grasping the just of what the Empire was it not only get certain occurences in the wrong order but simple blankets over every important factor, it was not simply a mass land grab as described. colonisation of what was largely empty "wastelands", if you will, the bringing of enlightenment, science and Western ideas to backward regions also played a part. not to mention the fact that Great Britain was the first to actually abolish slavery. .

This is the kind of anti-British brainwashing the kids in the UK undergo in school. They are taught to hate themselves and their country and constantly feel like they are in debt to every other nationality. Its utterly pathetic. Without the empire, Britain would be nothing today, probably on par with Africa. There was a lot of blood spilt in the empire, but more benefits came to fruition because of it.
