[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I LOVE London. Chic, great shopping, great fun vibe. People are mean as sh*t in a very polite way. It's actually kind of weird. British food is disgusting, but there are so many other options! Love the place. Would move in a minute. [/quote]

Eat Indian subcontinent food there.  That is the only decent and affordable food there.

BTW - England became a developed nation because of how they looted 45 trillion dollars worth of materials from India during their colonial rule.

Without India to loot, they have become a shithole country. A small country of shopkeepers.   And the poverty there is another level now. Unwashed brits with yellow teeth, unwashed clothes and dirty fingernails, unable to afford air-conditioning and eating baked beans from a can. [/quote]

Let me guess, you watched a YouTube video.  The 45 trillion figure floating around on social media (what a joke) is based on England displacing the Indian textile industry, because England mechanized and India could no longer compete with handlooms.  They did not take 45 trillion dollars worth of goods.  Nor is outcompeting a country "[b]stealing" from them[/b].  [/quote]

Are you actually saying that Britain did not steal from India?! Because that is pretty well documented.

So you agree, the British Imperialists were bullies.  :lol:  :lol:  [/quote]

American imported, kept and fought over the right to retain MILLIONS of slaves. 
not just exploited a country from an economic pov (which they ALSO DO)
but kept, as a matter of course, slaves in their domestic country, based on race. 
so winning any ethical argument on this basis is unlikely in the next several hundred years. GL tho - nice try.[/quote]

The British, Dutch, Portuguese had nothing to do with the slave trade though, right?

You seem to think America invented the transatlantic slave trade.[/quote]

Not to mention that the vast, vast majority of slaves were sold into the Caribbean and South America, where a huge number died due to terrible conditions.  According to Henry Louis Gates: "Between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.

And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were [b]shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. That’s right: a tiny percentage.[/b]"[/quote]
