we're talking about quite some time ago, but you hadn't probably realised that the Romans came from "Rome" hence the name. As an american you probably didn't realise that Rome is in europe, it's in a country called Italy.

Not really - people get confused on that point. The Sun and The Mirror are both VERY biased and nothing more than glorified comics but....

They are the 2 biggest selling newspapers in the UK and the majority of people reading them haven't the intelligence to appreciate how much BS is in them.

You've gotta remember that a huge chunk of the population is far from intelligent in most countries as proven in the recent US elections

americans are so proud of their constitution, but the british had one in 1215, do a google search for magna carta. and our justice system is the very same one that is copied by pretty much every country throughout the world.

I'm with you on many points but dont critisize him for the Zulu fiasco when you compare the crapa carta to the constitution of the US. Magna carta was solely and completely for the lords and did not give the working class jack squat. Also, it was the 1600's before anyone BUT the barons noticed the thing.

When Englishmen left their homeland to establish colonies in the New World, they brought with them charters guaranteeing that they and their heirs would "have and enjoy all liberties and immunities of free and natural subjects." Scant generations later, when these American colonists raised arms against their mother country, they were fighting not for new freedoms but to preserve liberties that dated to the 13th century.

When representatives of the young republic of the United States gathered to draft a constitution, they turned to the legal system they knew and admired--English common law as evolved from Magna Carta. The conceptual debt to the great charter is particularly obvious: the American Constitution is "the Supreme Law of the Land," just as the rights granted by Magna Carta were not to be arbitrarily canceled by subsequent English laws.

This heritage is most clearly apparent in our Bill of Rights. The fifth amendment guarantees

No person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

and the sixth states

...the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.

Written 575 years earlier, Magna Carta declares

No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned,...or in any other way destroyed...except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to none will we deny or delay, right or justice.

In 1957 the American Bar Association acknowledged the debt American law and constitutionalism had to Magna Carta and English common law by erecting a monument at Runnymede. Yet, as close as Magna Carta and American concepts of liberty are, they remain distinct. Magna Carta is a charter of ancient liberties guaranteed by a king to his subjects; the Constitution of the United States is the establishment of a government by and for "We the People."

Wait. Every other post on GFY is about how we went in completely alone with no help in an entirely unilateral way.... which is the case?

You had to spend 90% of resources yourself, 90% is fairly unilateral, but why moan about the one other country that makes up most of the other 10%?

"Were I a Kerry voter, though, I'd feel deep anger, not only at them returning Bush to power, but for allowing the outside world to lump us all into the same category of moronic muppets.

The self-righteous, gun-totin', military lovin', sister marryin', abortion-hatin', gay-loathin', foreigner-despisin', non-passport ownin' red-necks, who believe God gave America the biggest dick in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land "free and strong"."
