We killed plenty of Afghans


Yes, you did. However, the OP based the claim to worthiness on the mass slaughter of Frenchmen...Agincourt, Crecy. So I have to ask: how many Afghans does it take to equal one dead Frenchman?

This is getting too bizarre for me.

If people want to bash the Brits, it's A-OK with me. If people don't want to bash the Brits, it's Okey-dokey with me, too. I just want out of this discussion.

I know that they are very outspoken and critical of Americans but let it go.

I could never hold a grudge against a Brit for very long and especially not against the English. Why? The Hundred Years War is why.

Remember the Hundred Years War?

Any people who slaughter Frenchmen for an entire century without stopping can be forgiven for being w**kers.

I hope you agree.


While I agree with you about The Hundred Years War, try brushing your teeth on a regular basis, British.

It is somewhat perplexing why you entered it in the first place.

Am British and all for bashing this country it's why I spent the summer in Europe and am spending a couple of years in Korea.
We have no national identity (even though Hollywood seems to think we do) we have serious issues with the poor in our society being uncontrollable thugs. There is a major drug problem and the race issue is as bad here as anywhere else. It is more about poverty than about race though, I know lots of middle class none whites who fit into the UK fine.
I think even in the best countries in the World, poverty is the cause of problems, look at France and to be honest America.

Bash away at the UK but every country has problems, I just think the British are big enough to admit theirs.

Getting away from these obscure biscuit and bishop references, which I suspect are the same thing, the Brits haven't slaughtered Frenchmen since 1815. Therefore, my original comment: What have they done to benefit mankind recently?


I think Ya-ta Boy has raised a good point and a serious issue. The time for mass slaughter of Frenchmen is long overdue. Lads?

I hope you haven't spent too much time being perplexed about this issue.

All I can say in my defense is that more than once in my life I have done things sober that I would never have done had I been drunk.
