What with one of you saying 'say something in your stupid ass accent' and the other just repeating what he said in a silly voice, this video reflects badly on both of you, to be honest. I don't really see how you're supposed to leave it with a positive view of America and negative view of Britain...

@Lucylux1 Phew! My faith is restored. Good to know, thanks! :)

Does this mean he's saying that the United States is colonialist and doesn't legally hold Puerto Rico, Navassa Island, Guam, American Samoa, Baker Island, Howland, Island, Wake Island, etc? Or is it only the UK that's not allowed to hold islands if other countries are closer to them?

If the peop...

Here he looks like a genuine Melchett figure.

@aakkoin If a truck of Microsoft products caused an accident that killed several people, would you blame Bill Gates personally? BP employ nearly 80,000 people, and Hayward is just one man with same number of hours in the day as you, how can he personally supervise every one of them at all times? ...

@moartzen Just out of interest, how much do you think he personally had to do with it? Yes, he was the CEO, but he wouldn't be around to observe everything that goes on within the company; BP employs nearly 80,000 people. The CEO is just a figurehead, and it's very unlikely that figures/data came...

So ... when Hitler asks anyone who knew the guy was dead to leave the room, why do Jodl & Krebs stay in the room, when they're the two people who just told him about it?

Show me your evidence that leprechauns don't exist? And so on for Big Foot, Santa, ghosts, goblins, and all the rest.

Never have the initial assumption that something exists, because there is no such thing as evidence which proves something doesn't exist, so you would have to accept that everyth...

@simonsaintgilles Given his current status as a tax exile however, it shows he isn't entirely happy to repay the Treasury. Nobody should be pushed into work, not wanting to is entirely their choice, but in return I don't think they can expect that money be taken away from the working to provide f...

@Steviedatv If by any chance you're still interested, on the swing is Daniel François Malan, and on the tank is Idi Amin.

@townsley2 I'm not British, I am Irish. I personally make a point of speaking the regional language of whatever country I visit, no matter how much learning it takes beforehand. Not that it applies to me anyway, but I have plenty of respect for France.

Youtube has a habit of bringing the worst ou...

This would genuinely make a better game show than half the ones that currently exist....

@bravepercennius I wouldn't say that Manifest Destiny is rooted in Divine Right of Kings as such, I'd say that they were both independently derived from the idea of Divine Providence.

Whichever derivation you prefer, speaking as an independent party, I still don't see why Britain is to blame for ...

@docall18 What about the Highland Potato Famine? It was happening in Scotland (and even parts of northern England) at almost exactly the same time as the Great Irish Famine. It caused 1.7 million people - half the population - to leave, and the government did nothing whatsoever.

@TheTmacz Fight faux prejudice with genuine prejudice, eh? No, the English aren't scum or hated by everyone, and even if you do personally find this video offensive, even though I don't, the people of England as a whole aren't responsible for it. Nobody on this planet has justification for hating...

@Martial024 Britain maintained a top world top economy for 200 years; whilst I'm not saying the US are doing badly, it hasn't been around long enough to be said as having a better history of sustained growth, we'll see in another 50-100 years.

Secondly, 'Europe likes socialism'? In which European...

For anyone wondering, the comment was posted 3 months ago by 'garrybaboon' (I'm guessing they changed the name for legal reasons?) on the video linked below.

I think it's a bit of both. Serafinowicz clearly meant to do it, the fall was completely fake, but he may have just done it on the spur of the moment without it being planned, hence the seemingly genuine reactions from the others.

She was clearly straw-manned. She was not saying you're a hypocrite if you drink coffee per se, she was saying that you're a hypocrite if you complain about capitalism and then go and willingly hand some profit to a premium, high street monopoliser like Starbucks, a business which seemingly aims ...

1:27-1:30 and 2:58-3:00 he looks like he's trying - and failing - to punch himself in the face.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from this video is that if you stand if front of teenagers and in some manner hit the strings of a guitar, the teenagers will go wild.

@norxcontacts Keira Knightley, Rachel Weisz, Emma Watson, Kelly Brook, Catherine Zeta Jones; yeah, what an ugly group of people. No western nation is uglier than any other, even to attempt to demonstrate otherwise would be ridiculous.

@fluffynoses I'm not siding with the other guy especially, but making blanket statements about any country (in this case, the UK) is equally moronic.

@hmasoes I hope that's a sentiment you agree with? It's a pity that Jimmy would suggest that he's above it all now, even as a joke, and I hope he doesn't mean it. It's been nice to talk to you.

@celtiktom I see your point :) it's just that at the point of his birth, Corsica was in the limbo between being defeated and ruled by France, but not yet an actual part of France itself. During this limbo, anyone born there was being born in a territory OF France but not actually in France, so th...

He's wrong, the universe never "began" to exist because the existence of time itself depends on the big bang. There was never a period of time when the universe didn't exist, that makes it impossible for there to be a linear progression from "nothing" to "something". It's more sensible to say tha...

7 days is too long to talk about sharks, 8 minutes is too long to talk about Shark Week.

Because of mocking the flaws in Hawking's black hole theory, Einstein surely won.

If I were that guy, seeing as he's the only one who can use the lounge, I'd change the lounge into a bedroom, and then the current bedroom into the lounge. That way all the house members get to use the lounge without having to ask my permission or walk through my bedroom. Surely that's the decent...
