    Makes you wonder if the British empire had stayed together

    They would be huge. The land, natural resources, etc. I doubt The world wars would have ever got going.

        What are you talking about? The British Empire was at its peak in the period right before WWI and actually got to its largest size after that war.

              USA 1776
              Canada 1867
              Australia 1901 (pretty much)

              So I think they had shed some pretty serious colonies by then.

                    It's definitely sad to hear that London/England is being overrun by them.

                      kinda like how african-americans only account for 13% of the population of the states

                        I think what would have been more interesting, would have been if the US & USSR had stayed friendly after WWII.

                        I wonder how the world would be shaped today had there been no cold war but 2 super powers being allied.
                        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                          on the other hand, maybe it was the competition spurred on by the cold war that motivated the USA to strive to be the best in space, tech, human rights.

                          ever since the soviets fell, the USA is flabby & shabby.

                                      The first world war was a clash of all the major empires.
                                      The second world war is what killed off the British empire, even America's involvement was in part, designed to kill off the empire. In fact, the second world war did such a good job of fucking over the supposed winners that even today us Brits feel the repercussions and some historians have even suggested that the British should be on the losers list of the war!!

                                        That is out of this world dreams. Two direct competitors...I never could understand why USSR was against all US rock music, movies, $ - against everything - until I grew up.

                                          White Britons are now a minority in Leicester, Luton and Slough and Birmingham is set to follow by end of decade

                                          Three towns and cities have joined London in having a minority white British population.

                                            lol wut? the British Empire was at its peak in WWI and still huge in WWII - Canada and Australia were still closely attached to the Empire at the time of WWII.

                                            The World Wars finished off the British Empire, which people say was for the good but looking at a map of the former Empire what followed for its former colonies has hardly been an improvement - yay we're freeeeee, free to kill each other, free to live in poverty, free to rape ........ The US inherited the mess.

                                            Colonialism is a bad thing, empires are a bad thing but it's in man's nature it seems to conquer and control more land, more people, more riches.

                                                Nope, it has almost nothing to do with that because same situation is in other cities as well, take Birmingham for example.
                                                Nobody is talking about rich guys, we are talking about poor breeding immigrants here.

                                                  As time goes by countries rise and fall. At one time Rome was vast and so too was Spain.

                                                  Today its China thats getting huge.

                                                  In a 50 years it may be Africa thats huge.

                                                  Things change.

                                                  Its only soil.

                                                  I realy could not care less.

                                                      Does it matter.

                                                      In truth most people in the UK are probably conected to other countries. Do you think when the Romans came over they were not having sex with the locals. And the roman army was made up of africans and people world wide. No one in the uk is realy native.

                                                      I realy do not care if someone has a black or brown face, and pays in a different way. It makes no difference to me.

                                                      Live and let live.

                                                        The World Wars finished off the British Empire, which people say was for the good but looking at a map of the former Empire what followed for its former colonies has hardly been an improvement - yay we're freeeeee, free to kill each other, free to live in poverty, free to rape ........ The US inherited the mess.

                                                        Colonialism is a bad thing, empires are a bad thing but it's in man's nature it seems to conquer and control more land, more people, more riches.
                                                        I have to say, I am not sure when Canada and Australia cut ties. If we don't get more ties to other countries, what is the direction? The world stays as it is, and we keep fighting until someone crazy gets nukes and uses them? We form a worldwide EU type of thing?

                                                        The EU showed that countries need to be accountable for what they do if their is a higher control on the money. Now it was a bailout etc but they were forced to put their houses in order. The US has not done this yet and may never until we go bankrupt.

                                                        I just see it as crazy that the USA is spending so much on military. At some point the UN needs to be a real force or ? NASA is done. No one else is doing much. So at our current pace, we just keep trading paper until we use all of our resources and die off? Shouldn't the human race start to create some bigger goal?

                                                                    Oh well, you should look at how many "indigenous" Brits live elsewhere in the world. The freedom we have to travel these days is pretty amazing when you think about it. Just remember, it works both ways. If you don't like where you live, then move.

                                                                    Hopefully UKIP will get the vote next election and finally stop the bullshit.

Do you think when the Romans came over they were not having sex with the locals. And the roman army was made up of africans and people world wide. No one in the uk is realy native.

                                                                      I realy do not care if someone has a black or brown face, and pays in a different way. It makes no difference to me.

                                                                                    Forgotten who you quoted or something there? I'm pretty sure England would have known there was a country the other side of the sea that they were largely responsible for existing.

                                                                                    He's right about Newfoundland though, it was "seperate", it was still part of the British Empire until 1949.

                                                                                    At least one thing, we are not Canada.

                                                                                    At least most people have heard of our priminister.

                                                                                    So whatever country you live in, just be happy that your not Canada.
