We constantly hear about the atrocities Hitler committed over a few years, what Hussein did what the Vietnamese did in a war, but what about what the English have done over centuries, they tried to take over every country, they have killed millions and millions of people over the centuries, invaded countries from Scotland 800 years ago to Australia 200 years ago, they almost wiped out the entire Aboriginal race in Australia, Australia was their country not the English. They did the same in America, they invaded France, Wales,The Fauklands, they have killed over centuries yet we never say much about it, what about Ireland and what they did there, etc etc , they have a lot to answer for, why is always others that get blamed for such evil acts and no one ever mentions the evils acts that the English have committed over the centuries, people like Hitler tried but the English succeeded in taking over countries and claiming them.

You can't blame the English for everything just because your country failed to reach the final of the Rugby World Cup.

The Irish and Indians do blame the English and probably some of their other former colonies do also, The US was never an oppressed victim, because they were English at the time of the revolution, I think England had a bad reputation but they also stood on the right side of sometimes. They helped stop Napoleon, worked to stop the slave trade in the early 19th century and stood and fought bravely and almost alone against Hitler after the fall of France,

Well...People read more about the 20th century than the past. Its just a curse I'm afraid. All I really blame the English for (due to this situation the world finds its self in) is the awful food.

B.C. is wrong. The English are not the only ones to blame for awful food. They didn't invent McDonalds, Burger King and all that dreck, nor do they eat snails.

Because they haven't done stuff like that in the past 100 years. Get over it.
