I am perfectly calm, and this is not an opportunity for me to vent on random britts. But brittain needs to acknowledge its past and understand that they have acted immorally and un ethically. I as an white male Australian have had to deal with the predjudice and national guilt that has come as a result of the brittish shenanigans in our country. They came, they saw, and they left many problems. Ok lets just pretend that it never happened. That way your national pride can be left untarnished, and we can pretend that brittain is the very essence of just cause.

.They created a slave class in Australia by convicting poverty stricken people for stealing bread. Oh well at least they built their infrastructure with it, as far as buildings and bridges went.

Bilk mate, britain knows and so does every conquesting culture you don't need to get people
to realize the circumstances back then. However you must understand that no major country
is devoid of some shenanigans as you say...

Take the boxer rebellion in china. The british had textiles and other products but the chinese had silks and many other superior items. The solution? Sell opium to the chinese and get them addicted, modern day mass drug dealing. When the chinese wanted to get rid of this problem THE BRITISH FOUGHT THEM TO SECURE THE RIGHT TO SELL DRUGS TO THEM.

Yeah the brits and the spanish should get together and swap conquest stories. maybe when one has a problem with a dissenting populace they could throw ideas back and forth on how to kill them and take their wealth.

The Rolling English Road..
Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,
And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire;
A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread
The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.
I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire,
And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire;
But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed
To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made,
Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands,
The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands.
His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run
Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun?
The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which,
But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch.
God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear
The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier.
My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
