This yank thinks the U K should follow the lead of Italy?

by | earlier

What a great example Italy is setting for the world It has apologised for european colonialism and well be paying Libya $5,000,000,000 for it's past mistakes Now they are looking at France and next it well the U K turn to step up to the plate and pay up What a great idea What I admire about Italy is they did not say ''Look what they did why should we pay?'' No they just did the right thing

If this American feels like that and feels that various countries should pay for past misdeeds!What about the American government paying to innocent Japanese Americans who were imprisoned in America during World War II!

It was set in Ireland

He could teach New England states @ 'Britishness'

if it hadn't been for the empire 3/4 of the world would still be living in mud huts and chucking spears at each other. and how are they going to pay us back for medical science! railways, sanitation, electricity, the combustion engine, radio, television etc etc........or perhaps they would have sat in their little mud huts inventing all that for themselves eh? why dont you lot ever look at the good that Britain did for the world? or would that stick in your craw?

How about the US paying for it's neo-colonialist policy.

And do you reckon the UK owes the US as our former colony?!

What a bully you are picking on a little country one third the size of Texas - if one third of Texas performed as well as the UK of GB & NI you'd have something to sing about! You loaned us money when we stood alone in WW2 and we paid you every penny back just a few years ago according to the loan agreement - we stood beside you when you illegally invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and soon Iran - which your president has been planning for at least 4 years - and all we get is talk of a 'special relationship'! Nobody this side of the pond has any idea what's 'special' - and you have proved it.

If it costs Italy 5,000,000,000

it will cost Britain zilch, after we take of the charge for educating half the world,

and if your really good we will return and teach you Yankee heathens real manners and etiquette,

the Italians only had to pay so much because their tanks ran over some many locals going in reverse while retreating.

Very good. At least the Italians got out of Libya. When are you guys getting out of Texas and California and start paying Mexico for all the back rent and compensation to the Latinos you have oppressed?

I don't feel guilty or responsible for anything my forefathers did, so I don't want to pay up.
