lol at people who brag about their manual transmissions as if they have a "skill".

Manual transmissions are the command line prompts of automotive technology. Which is to say they should be rightly mocked when people brag about using them, but they can be superior if there is a non-standard use case which demands them.

Driving to the chippy to pick up some bubble-and-squeak is not such a use case.

Even America's worst inbred retards had to come from somewhere if you go back far enough, and that place is Britain.

The US only has like 400 years or inbreeding, Britain has people whose inbred genetic pool is so ancient they're related to those tree people from lord of the rings

The British Empire basically was the Roman empire. London was a Roman colony and when the European empire fell into barbarism the British kept the torches of civilization lit.

Better than Turin Brakes.
A few years ago we were stoned as gently caress, walking back from a gig (Mike Parks, some korean america(?) guy singing folk songs about being nice to each other in a post racist world. kinda boring).

We see 2 asian (this means Indian, and not the native american kind) guys and a white guy in a bit of an argument.

The white guy and one of the asians were really drunk, sort of fighting, the other asian guy is trying to break it up. They lose interest, shake hands. Yes it's all resolved and Mike Parks was right we can overcome racism.

When suddenly this guy runs over. As he's running he tears off his jacket and throws it aside shouting "RIGHT! You have him and I'll have his loving mate!", twats one of the asian guys in the face and it erupts into a drunken free for all street brawl.

I bet they do, but the only thing that matters is results. Britain once ruled a quarter of the globe. What did France or Spain do besides each have their obligatory fifteen minutes of fame?

"Honh honh honh! The lingua franca is named after us because of our trading prowess!" Lol great job Pierre, how did some Vietnamese paddy farmer speaking French help you out at the battle of Trafalgar? Yeah.

I don't even know what Spain ever did aside from NOT discover America, and colonize Mexico. Thanks for that btw, Spain. You've really made something to be proud of there.

Face it, the only Roman colony that ever did anything worthwhile was Britain.

England/Britain never imitated the Romans after they left, nothing like what the Germans and Russians, Polish, pretty much everyone on the mainland did. we never adopted Latin, the only people here who used Latin were monks and we ended up loving the monks off eventually.

you know that "Czar" and "Kaiser" are both titles derived from "Caesar" right
and all those 2 headed eagles on coats of arms and poo poo

but not us, we just went right the gently caress back to living in mud huts and sacrificing virgins in stone circles

They were imitating the decadent, already crumbling empire. The old school Romans sacrificed virgins all the time.

I mean you were the largest empire in history technically I suppose but you also hosed the world over but good and we still have to deal with the consequences of limey assholery today.

At least the Romans left us something cool like architecture and systems of government. The French gave us cuisine, the Spanish gave us Latinas... In the end what did the Brits contribute? The chip?

But you people destroyed India. Look up who brought the caste system and all that bullshit back into vogue there 200 years after it was basically died out, it was the British colonialists. They wanted to re-create a traditional 'authentic' Indian power structure so as to better exploit them.

And you hosed up Africa and the Middle East as well.
