I also disagree with your assertion that English has been spread by the US. As much as you may wish to believe it for political reasons, very few objective academics would agree. There are many reasons why English has spread, but remember that only 80 years ago 20% of the world was controlled by ...

Diana Gould was one of those vocierfously peaceful types who would never have supported any sort of military action. I doubt she ever understood why war can be necessasry. I've never understood the need some people like her have have to make war - a basic and violent act - a passive thing of lega...

I think they missed the point of what Cameron was saying - it wasn't a historical point. He was pointing out that because the present argentine government rejects the islanders right to self-determination of their sovereignty they are in effect acting in a colonial manner. They are making a legal...

@jiralodonte - Las Malvinas no es una colonia, al igual que los EE.UU. es una colonia. Las personas que viven allí han estado allí desde hace 5 generaciones. Se trata de los isleños que desean ser británicos, no a los británicos que quieren controlar las islas.

@Meloman0001 - We still have independent branches of government. I'm not suggesting anyone else's system is wrong - but this one works very well for us. Obviously if you imagine monarchys as 12th century autocrats then yes it is outdated - but we have moved on in the last 900 years. This is as mo...

@DistantOmen Unlike most public figures these days, the queen has actually earnt respect through a lifetime of actions, rather than pre-election PR. Her only job has been to represent the people of the commonwealth, a job she has done flawlessly. Last year, at 84 years old, she held 387 public en...

It probably didn't do the tank or crew any good. If they are bad enough the force can rupture blood vessels in your brain and elsewhere causing anything from a stroke or pulmonary embolism to a nosebleed, blow out your ear drums, collapse your lungs, give you a headache etc. Theres a few other v...

@crapatev - Within the UK those aircraft are historically synonymous with British innovation under pressure. It doesn't particularly conjour images of burning German civillians. Obviously history is a little more complicated than we tend to remember. For example, every time I use a microwave I d...

@wewhippedemdidntwe - It's in the UK, the law is VERY different regarding tresspassers. If you assualt someone for tresspassing it is still considered assualt. There is an exception for "reasonable use of force" if you are yourself attacked, but it really is 'reasonable' only (this would be consi...

Hey, what song is that playing in the background?

It keeps crashing your client because the render distance is set to 'far'. Disable openGL and set the render distance to normal. There is a memory leak when the distance is set to far - it isn't usually a big deal because it takes a while for the leak to exceed the RAM, but this map is so massive...

@CarlGorn - Kate Rusby is actually English, from Yorkshire.

@dogstar75 - The elfin knight is a statue up on a hill. Hence "he stands so proud and he stands so still". She pretends the wind is the knight blowing a horn to call her “he blows his horn both loud and shrill”. Then she suggests/jests the statue is her true love. Then the rest of the song is the...

@SnickleFritz79 - The bearskins and breastplates are mostly over 100 years old. When the skins have to be replaced they come from bears culled anyway each year in Canada. Things like the Trooping the Colour help to pay for the army - they are money making events both directly (through things like...
