Title: Why does Americans and Brits think they’re the center of the universe?
Post by: General Razorbeard on October 12, 2010, 09:08:00 AM
The US and the UK probably the two most hated countries in the world, at least he UK is it in Europe.

The UK is the country who caused bottomless poverty for countless countries, it also gave birth to the US as we know it today, the most hated country in the world.

Not sure abut the UK, but the world maps in US schools used to look a bit like this only the US was depicted as being larger than it is by true scale.

Maybe not taught as the center of the universe, but the center of the earth on some subliminal level.

From a tiny, cold, wet little miserable island, Great Britain conquered a quarter of the world.

We had the largest, most wealthy Empire to date.

Also, I'm amused that the States haven't learned from History; the Soviets couldn't hold Afghanistan, We couldn't, the Romans couldn't, Genghis fucking Khan couldn't. It's a big desolate strip of NOTHING.

The UK IS WAS the centre of the world - you set your clocks by our timezones, you trade in our language - you use our frontend for the internet, www. The first Turing Complete computer was invented in the UK - Hell, Alan Turing was British. We invented the Car, Train and the Tank, the Passport and the Telephone.

Sure, we're arrogant bastards, but we have a whole list of reasons to be.

Oh, and that map is fucking retarded - why the hell does it split Asia down the middle? Stupidity.

I don't know where you're from; conquering us could mean Italian or Saxon.

I believe ZEGH is Norwegian, and talking about the Vikings.  :viking:

Oh, yeah, the Vikings kicked our arses - but Britain wasn't united then, it was a bunch of kingdoms that just happened to be on the same Island - Elmet, Rheged, Strathclyde, Ebrauc, Bryneich and Gododdin (Or possibly Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex and Wessex - don't remember the precise timeframe when the Vikings were kerbstomping us).

What.

How..But...WHAT?

UK is England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight.
Britain is the island that comprises Scotland and England.
Wales is Britain's backpack.
