Brits are cowards, generally. They feel a lot of collective guilt for centuries of imperialism- brought by war against non-European countries like Iran.

America never fought other countries to create colonies and exploit people and resources- so we have no problem going to another country and attacking them. They blame themselves for the situation those nations are in.

As in most FSTDT topics, this post was taken out of context of the greater topic it was in. America has never engaged in European-style colonialism, which I was referring to in this post. This is where a European country occupies a state for the purpose of using its indigenous population to exploit resources, agriculture, mining or otherwise. Britain and France in particular, have a long history of invading everything from the Americas to Africa and Asia and using the people for their own gain. Some of you have pointed to events in America's history of exploitation- I never said America never exploited anyone. I said America never colonized anyone. America stole land and manipulated governments, but it never barged into a country to occupy it and make use of their densely populated people. You can cite examples of the US invading and setting up governments or assisting in overthrowing or propping up governments, but that's not the same. This difference is important and key to my post. I would encourage everyone to actually post at CF instead of making comments here about how ignorant a person is- or calling them a fundy simply because they were quoted here.

You fought a war of Independance against those colonizers, therefor taking the colony by force. Have you people ever wondered how different you would be if you had remained a British colony? Not much would indicate a huge difference as you adopted British principals of law and goverment immediately.

You invaded Canada remember? You lost, but your intention was colonization, not defense. Canada is like England only superficially.

Cowards? America has built up the largest military ever, not even remotely has this build up been defensive.

You've been fucking with the middle east since WW2. Oh yeah, you learned lessons from the French and English, such as pretending your not taking over yet your forces NEVER LEAVE!
