What country has the best army in the world? (Little Upsilon)

Zimbabwe--they're so in debt no one would dare attack them.

This just isn't the truth though and it keeps them from the problems that King George had to deal with, rebellion in the colonies.<!-/Quote-!>

If you are citing rebellion in the colonies as the main downfall of British Empire, you would be terribly wrong.

Although rebellions had occured in the past, they were usually due to the meddling policies of government at time (notably in India with the rebellion of the militias upon hearing that British rifle rounds were smeared in pig fat, subversive to their religion). By the time of WW1 the British government was supporting a policy of increased cultural tolerance, and the majority of the colonies were in a stable state: Ghandi himself urged the whole of India to support Britain in the war. Hundreds of thousands of Indians, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders and Africans fought on Britain's side.

hmm That's something to chew on. we should also look at the fact that the population of the American colonies wasn't even that of the Chicago Metro complex of modern day, about 3,000,000 people spread all up and down the east coast.

One thing I am sure of though, I realize there is so much that I don't know, even a lot of things I've been taught I've come to the conclusion that I simply don't know the truth about them. I think we all get fragmented truth mixed with a good does of deception.

Also, I'm glad someone else found as much humor in those videos as I did, especially the last one, it speaks some real truth about America if you ask me! lol

"That is simple. In the Colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay..."

"The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution."

Well... that was something.

Wow, that's messed up. Only US citizens are allowed to listen? Now that's messed up!

Here we go, it's the live version and it doesn't sound as good as the studio version, but You Tube allows 'Lagunas' to listen. lol

Solomon, everything you said is absolutely true. Any well informed person that doesn't think so is in denial.

Honestly? I'd rather be wrong.

Turns out the world is much more evil than any of us would have imagined.
