How far back in history do we need to go to find, esentially, the begining of the modern English culture, and is it relivent anyway, why are we needing to justity our right to be proud of what we and our ancestors have achived over the past 500/1000 years for thr world? are we suffering an identity problem? You don't have to be a genius to understand that the English are/were among the most respected, admired, feared, trusted, insightful, creative, spirited & adaptable people ever to grace this world, we don't have to proved this, its not up for debate. Look in the Enclyopoia, we wrote it. Look at the History books, we wrote them. How the hell did such a small country of such few people manage so much in such little time, when other countrys 6 x our population have done so little in their entire existance? It's our English culture, the essence of who we are. England is a becon of sucess, no country on Earth could ever eclipse or recreate what this country has achived or contribute to society, not get anywhere close. You could imagine that to some equally ancient countrys this is hard to swallow, expecially when they would consider their faith is supposedly the ultimate one, how did we achive all this with our inferior one? well sorry pals but stoneing your women and ranting on about the west is getting tiresome and a little predicatable, trying letting females learn to read & write then you should double your growth and civilized countrys might start to speak to you....Bloody cavemen. Our History is one worth celebrating and we have a proud set of traditions, but no, wait.... now you can't put deccys up at work becuase you might offend some ethnic...oh sorry, how stupid of me, there was me thinking Xmas was a celebration of our Christian faith, we've done it for like well forever but hey, don't worry about us 97% so long as the minority are not offended we'll forgo Christmas it's no bother at all, i mean it must be TEARING you guys up inside seeing us happy and Celebrating with our familys, so like i say really sorry, and here have some more free money, go on then have a few more mosques too.. I wonder what would happen if you asked the Ayatollah to build a Christain Church Terran?..... Cherrio Head!! :Wave:
