Saying that Britain did worse to the world is a bit strange, most large european counties had an empire of some sort, for every injustice done by the British, you can find the same for the German, Dutch and French empires, but it was Britain that lead the way in industrial, commercial and social improvements for more than 250 years.

Australia and NZ basically abandoned by the UK government. Did you know that the UK "used" to be one of the biggest buyers of Australian produce and commodities b4 it shit on us with the EU. But thanks anyways for recognizing the dopiest of dopey decisions on the UK joining the EU.
And for history, why not ask the folks from India, China, and even the Yanks about their past relationship with the UK... it hasn't always been a street paved with gold is all I am saying
another way of saying this, is "Pot calling the kettle black"
the only thing I see bad about the states recently in global terms is that they had to suffer under a "interesting" President for so long, and their government is so bloated that its hard to turn a ship that big in any direction. As I said earlier, the Chinese are coming and they can make huge changes very quickly.... I cannot see them not becoming the next empire, not matter what the anti Muslim racists exhort about Islam trying to take over the world by stealth through immigration (case in point Switzerland) also fyi - i am a white Darwinist, so don't start calling me a religious nut.. i just hate racism disguised as anti terrorism
