when you think about it..

**kingrui rolls 5** Magic Conch, does everybody really hates England?

its probably due to the fact the england was the closest country ever to controlling the world

England is kind of the original ******* , the amount of countries they HAVENT invaded are probably in the single digits

It's weird thinking that people may or may not like you because you fell out of a ****** on a certain patch of land

England's face when

what about canada then?
its more british

inb4 *********

Most popular countries in the world 2013:
1. Germany
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom (Scotland and England together btw, seems like people forget around here)
4. Japan

I'm Irish, but What's with the English being blamed? During the British Empire, per capita, there were more Scottish administrators, officers and imperial civil servants than in any other home nation. Not that i'm bashing them for it, i think the British empires legacy is hugely debatable i find the modern approach that 'British Empire is evil!' is really outdated and ignores **** loads of history. Just as one example of a beneficial legacy of the British empire is today's ideas of liberties, Republicanism (obviously dates back to the Romans but was very much thought of 'an Italian thing' before the English Civil War) and human rights have direct roots back to English philosophers during the 17th, and without the British Empire these ideas would not have been exported so widely.

Also i find it really awesome that the axis powers from WWII are now some of the most popular countries on the planet, its kinda cool, good for you Germany and Japan.

Also Canada. (which however much you try to ignore it is a direct British offshoot)


PS. Sorry for the history rant, just finished doing a year studying the British Empire.

Lecture over.

I couldnt find a picture of a Welsh guy laughing like the irish and scotish one.

as an american, i honestly dont get whats going on

personaly i like england and the yanks. if only because you need countries like them so you can point your ******* finger and say "dats da bad guy".

Man, I don't care. I'm proud to be British. Not English- British. That includes the Scots and the Welsh and **** too. You're all mah ****** and I love you.

I don't think EVERYONE hates us though. Scotland and Ireland do because of the geographical location (same reason Canada hate US etc... it's a harmless rivalry these days).

Germany hate us because although we were with other countries when we won WW2, we are the only ones who CONSTANTLY remind them everytime we play them at the football.

That's football guys. I'm a season ticket holder at Derby County FC and for 90 minutes every saturday, I have a strong hatred for whoever we are playing. When the game is over, I couldn't give a **** . Passionate sports fans is all this really is.

Success breeds jealousy.
