"Money is different from political power. I'm sorry you can't understand this concept. Here in America, you can inherit money, but you don't inherit a political position, you have to be elected.

For instance, if my dad is governor of California, I can inherit whatever money he has, but I cannot inherit the governorship of California. Are you starting to understand yet?"

Yes, and you'ld be surprised at how easily it can be to become a high ranking politician if your father was a high ranking politician with lots of money.

"Since you claim to believe that all men are created equal, how does an Englishman become "officially part of the government"? Is there some kind of application process or internship for the position of King of England? No there isn't. So how can all men be created equal if you have to have the right bloodline to enter the highest class of society and become "officially part of the government"? Clearly in your country, all men are not treated equally. "

You imply that all politicians and members of Government are superior in character to their fellow men? And how does being in the upper class make you superior to people in the lower class?

"There are no dynasties here. You obviously don't know what a dynasty is. Here we go back to websters,

Dynasty

1: a succession of rulers of the same line of descent

So, what are you talking about? What dynasty of rulers does Barack Obama come from? What royal line of decent did any of our presidents come from? "

"You started a war with the Germans. Why would we fight your war for you? When the European war you started became a problem for us, we started fighting, and then we saved your pasty pansy asses. Odd that you are proud of this era of British failure and American might."

Sorry, I don't see any evidence here. Does all your research come from Hollywood?

Britain only declared war on Germany because Germany invaded Britain's ally, Belgium. We were the last major power in Europe to enter WWI, you cannot possibly claim that we caused it.

Now explain your claim that America 'saved' Britain?

"I don't remember mentioning TV. Evidence you say? Here you are,

In his book Late Victorian Holocausts, published in 2001, Mike Davis tells the story of famines that killed between 12 and 29 million Indians. These people were, he demonstrates, murdered by British state policy. When an El Niño drought destituted the farmers of the Deccan plateau in 1876 there was a net surplus of rice and wheat in India. But the viceroy, Lord Lytton, insisted that nothing should prevent its export to England. In 1877 and 1878, at the height of the famine, grain merchants exported a record 6.4m hundredweight of wheat. As the peasants began to starve, officials were ordered "to discourage relief works in every possible way". The Anti-Charitable Contributions Act of 1877 prohibited "at the pain of imprisonment private relief donations that potentially interfered with the market fixing of grain prices". The only relief permitted in most districts was hard labour, from which anyone in an advanced state of starvation was turned away. In the labour camps, the workers were given less food than inmates of Buchenwald. In 1877, monthly mortality in the camps equated to an annual death rate of 94%.

As millions died, the imperial government launched "a militarised campaign to collect the tax arrears accumulated during the drought". The money, which ruined those who might otherwise have survived the famine, was used by Lytton to fund his war in Afghanistan. Even in places that had produced a crop surplus, the government's export policies, like Stalin's in Ukraine, manufactured hunger. In the north-western provinces, Oud and the Punjab, which had brought in record harvests in the preceeding three years, at least 1.25m died.

So, you were saying how Britain just wanted to help out undeveloped nations like India....or some such non-sense. Please continue..."

You make it seem as if Britain commanded the weather to cause famine and starvation to millions of Indians and then you judge according to mordern moral guidelines that Britains following actions were highly immoral.

If you are going to make any attempt to judge people's actions in history, you must judge them according to the moral laws of that era.

The British created the infrastucture of India that is vital to its economy to this very day. The Indians have built very little railways since their indipendance (even though they rely on them so much). If it wasn't for Britain India wouldn't even exist. If another empire had unified it then it would have been the Dutch, French or the Japanese. And the totalitarian Monarchy of France or the militarisitic dictatorship of Japan would have treated the Indians far worse than Britain ever could.

It's thanks to Britain's policy of free global trade and no-interference with business that allowed India's economy to advance. Before Britain had set foot in the sub-continent, India was made up of disunited principalities which relied on an agricultural-based to survive.

And please don't use newspapers to back up your arguments, they often take moral potshots at the British Empire because they know that two-century-old dead people can't argue back.
