Will you please try to keep up.

First, top posting is bad form.

Second, the comment was attributed to Peter in the reply.

Frankly you need to keep up.

Peter was challenging the reply attributing the comment to him when he
didn't say it.

Look at the post Peter replied to. Although you don't seem to know enough
about usenet to figure it out.

Nope, and in any case the British only ever had possession of a small part
of what is now called The United States Of America.

Exactly. The French had bits too.

Their successors now
known as Americans did a far more efficient job of raping the rest of it.

India

Yes but the original rulers were doing an effective job long before

South Africa

Not really, they did a much better job in other parts of Africa.

...immediately come to mind.

History and geography are not really strong subjects in America are they?

I'd love to see an American history book. They must get these ideas from
somewhere.

The way the British treated their colonies, dominions etc is well demonstrated
by the continuing existence of the Commonwealth of Nations which has recently
even accepted one former non-British territory. There are are over 50 members
IIRC.

Living in "darkest Detroit", Arny, has probably never

high level of esteem in which the British are held there.

The Indians are great fun and usually very sociable. Just be careful doing
business with them though.

You're avoiding the obvious point - the reason for our Revolutionary War was
was that the British were raping us. The British continued rape us, and we
had the war of 1812. The British continued to rape us and helped precipitate
our war between the states.

India

Yes but the original rulers were doing an effective job
long before

Thanks for agreeing that the British raped India.

South Africa

Not really,

Yes, really.

they did a much better job in other parts of Africa.

That too, but I thought that all I had to do is list one. My list of 3
stands without effective criticism.

...immediately come to mind.

Indict yourself if you wish, since you either basically agreed with me, or
made a irrelevant argument. I could say the same thing based on the
statement by the British citizen who claimed that the British have never
ever raped not even one country.

One of the problems with people who live in second-rate countries like the
UK is that they don't appreciate the complexities of life in the rather
large and complex country that is still *The* world power. It is composed of
50 states, many of which are each larger in terms of geographic size,
economic power, complex political and social life, and population than just
about any of the other countries of the world. Just keeping track of *that*
is more than enough for most ordinary mortals.

Since millions of citizens of India and 100s of thousands of citizens of
South Africa live in the US, I don't have to go very far to converse with
them, and thus I know how they think. Just ask anybody of Dutch descent
about their *pleasure* with the British military adventures in South Africa
at their expense.

I note that those *lovely places* called "Concentration Camps" were invented
by the British during their attempt to suppress personal liberties in South
Africa. Talk about covering yourself with glory in the pages of history!

This is in stark contrast to Vietnam where tourists
are advised to wear a T-shirt on which is written
in Vietnamese. "I am not an American"

So what if they are still sore about the fact that we did indeed bomb them
back into the stone age, as promised. I can imagine the laughter if Finland
made that threat.

I have travelled (sic) extensively in all three countries.

Obviously Ian, you didn't learn very much from the experience. Old dogs, new
tricks, and all that. ;-)

I'd love to see an American history book. They must get these ideas from
somewhere.

The Scandinavian nations in general seem to hold the US
in rather low esteem. There are often comparisons in the
Swedish press of American and Scandinavian educational
systems, social policies, salary levels, political structure,
etc etc.

In most instances, the US comes out very badly. It seems
that the US Bachelor degree is at roughly the same
academic level as the Swedish school leavers' certificate.
A gem that made me chuckle was the disclosure that

60% of American high-school students thought that
Joan of Arc was Noah's wife

While most Scandinavians are fluent in two or more
languages (more difficult than English) some areas of the
US have a 47% illiteracy rate, and many millions of
Americans don't have a bank account because the
use of an ATM is too complex for them!

It seems to that a large percentage of Americans did
not know how many states make up the US .
Even Barack Obama thought there were 57!

In addition only 26% of American high-school
students knew anything at all about the EU, and only
a tiny percentage knew how many nations comprised
the European Union. Not one of those interviewed
could name them all (25 at the time) In view of the
alarming lack of general knowledge, and to avoid
dragging the average percentage of correct answers
into single figures, the question "How many of the
EU member nations belong to NATO?" was not asked.

Worrying?

I wear with pride the tee-shirt, given out by the
hotel in Saigon, on which is written in Vietnamese
"I am not an American"

Raped ? In what way ?

"no taxation without representation".

It took 3 wars with the British for us to make our point, two direct and one
via a proxy known as "The Confederate States Of America". We won all 3.

Might I draw your attention to how
you treated your own indigenous population ?

I have never claimed that the US were a bunch of choir boys. In fact we are
currently the most successfully blood-thirsty lot in the world, and have
been that way for at least 60 years.

The various relevant writings of say, Winston Churchill.

And you talk about how little U.S. citizens know about history? GMAB!

for their diamonds.

The main 'second' Boer War was started by the Boers (the Dutch) and they

Natal and the Cape Colony, besieging the British garrisons of Ladysmith,
