Honestly I'm quite fed up of the patriotism in Britain... We're too busy trying to not be "British" but rather be Scottish, Welsh, Irish or English. We're stronger as a collective but we'd rather sit and bitch between ourselves because historically there's always been a pretty large division.

Yeah exactly, I refer to myself more as British than English.

ill start calling myself british when the scots and welsh do. and ill stop saying nigger when niggers stop saying nigger to oneanother. ill stop being a patriot the day other nations stop.

its gonna be a loooooong wait, unfortunately.
instinct, and fear, drive people to judge, hate, and discriminate. try to get that out of human nature. no matter how hard you try, you cant change simplistic human behavour with reason, or there wouldnt be any smokers, rapists or "nazis". we are animals at heart, and animals protect their territory, and spurn what does not belong there. this is what happens whe a species evolves too quickly.

Interesting words, although I do find them a bit radical. You seem to want to cleanse human nature, and other people. With me, I just want to be how I want everyone else to be. I will act how I believe is right, simple as really. Racism will never go, I'm not a racist but I can say racist things. I dunno, strange topic.

I understand what you mean, but current economics and governing factors are what stopping us from murdering each other and living in slums. It may not be perfect, but it's stable to say the least. We have a lot to learn, but also a lot of time to learn it. We've come very far in the past 2-3000 years, give us some credit ;)

I used to always refer to myself as British but seeing as being called English is taboo and the English people are getting screwed over I feel it is important to call on self English. Its worth mentioning that I am not a member or a sympathizer with the EDL/BNP the EDL had a chance to be something great but ended up turning into a football hooligan club with no direction other than destruction. I am a avid supporter of UKIP however. Mostly because I feel that supplanting the Tory party is the best thing that can happen to Britain. The Tories stir up too much tirbal hatred and with them gone the United Kingdom can be unified. The North needs a form of right wing politics but refuse to let the Tories in the door. So UKIP must step up.

Hmmm, I understand where you're coming from. Personally I'm torn, I like referring to myself as British as I like our ties with Scotland etc, but I also like it when we play each other at football/rugby. I'm not too knowledgeable about UKIP, so I can't say. Although I would like Labour in power, I would love to see what Ed Miliband could do for us considering he has Marxist roots. The EDL could have had some good attributes for the country, but the leader himself was a dickhead so that was gonna be a disaster at any given time. I do believe that we need to stand up for some things, and it's not fair that the only people doing it are the racist hooligans so it gives it no real ground to stand on. I work with a lot of Asians, and some of them can be alright and have a good chat with. But I've noticed a lot of the muslims are very rude, and ignorant. Now I don't know if this is culture-based, or assuming I'm prejudice, but I don't think it's very fair that manners have become a rarity in certain areas.
