Oh how I wish they had a forum.

 

[throdgrain]

Hehhe it was posted a while ago on my shooting forum.

Oh how we laughed

Bad Inventions. Machine guns, slums, prisons, child labor, bad hygiene, the Black Plague, concentration camps, you name it. If it hurts people, the British probably came up with it.

Yep, definitely our fault!

Damn those brits!

Ahahaha, this is my favourite bit, the fourth reason to hate Britain.

Bad Inventions. Machine guns, slums, prisons, child labor, bad hygiene, the Black Plague, concentration camps, you name it. If it hurts people, the British probably came up with it.

You heard it there first folks, we invented the black plague!

I wanted to sign up as Mr Andrew Hitler, The Bunker, Berlin, Germany.

But Yoni wouldnt let me

 

[Ch3tan]

Do it when she isn't looking then try and look innocent.

 

[Penguin]

It reminds me of one of those crappy online scams "Join now and get paid!"

It doesn't seem to be based on moral justice or anything -- just money?

They only have 7,000 signatures and i somehow doubt anyones going to be handing them £31trillion ever.

Naturally the British were the only nation to do anything wrong in the past. I also love the way they have this little golden nugget here:

Versailles Refund $25 trillion ($26 billion that Britain extorted from defeated German government after World War I, with interest, compounded annually, an unfair and punitive settlement that was one of the primary causes of World War II.)

So, Germany did naughty things.. they get fined.. (Surely this follows their idea of going back through history creating a bill?) .. except somehow Germany needs this money paying back? And all from Britain? Even though Britain was actually a key player in reducing the overall price of the reperation payments.

Things like this make me angry too, but clearly though it's really not very popular.

 

[Damini]

It's got to be a joke. We invented bad hygiene and the black plague? It's stretches credulity somewhat.

 

[DaGaffer]

Hee hee, this is funny. I particularly liked the way they never let the facts get in the way of a good rant. I also like the fact that they cite the Industrial Revolution as a bad thing. On the internet. Hmm. Frankly the world owes us at least 31 trillion for that 'invention' alone.

 

[nath]

It's either a joke, or just written by a/some very very very stupid person/people. In either case, nothing to get wound up about really Tom

 

[Tom]

I don't think its a joke. Theres a press conference video on one page :/

 

[TdC]

how can you take comething seriously that has "CLICK HERE TO GET PAID" bannered across a page?

 

[nath]

In which case they're just morons. The world's full of them - getting wound up when they become more vocal is a good way to give yourself high blood pressure.

 

[Dukat]

I hope this is a fucking joke.


I really, really, REALLY hope this is a fucking joke, jesus h christ

According to a quick googlesearch, the fucknut who made that site, "Steven A. Grasse", also wrote a book called "Evil Empire: 101 Ways That Britain Ruined the World ". oh, and apparently its the same guy who made the film "bikini bandits" (???).

Lets form a posse and go get this guy!

 

[Bodhi]

He's missed one thing off the "Bad English Inventions" list. That being America.



I'm also struggling to figure out why he's writing in English. Surely if Brtitain = bad he wouldn't adopt the language we invented? I'm also assuming he doesn't ever watch TV, use the telephone, antibiotics or anything else the British (well, the Scots anyway ) invented.

 

[Dukat]

I'm signing the email address on there up for spam. some of it's got to get past whatever filters they have up

http://www.toastedspam.com/freespamlist

feel free to have a go yourself by adding the email address to one of the links in the list from this site i've linked to above ^^

 

[UrganNagru]

B'ah you bastard now he won't be able to find the e-mail I sent him thanking for helping him bringing my country to justice and allowing us to pay penance to free ourselves of guilt, was looking forward to see his reply.

 

[TdC]

rofl. email him and complain!

 

[Jimmy]

tis a shame no forum id ask them where they want the link for the compensation from the romans vikings and so on and so forth

“We are well on our way to spreading the truth to the people of the world,” says Steven Grasse, ICBR’s founder. “We’ve added over 400 friends to our MySpace page"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Calaen]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

But it is Myspace they are real friends!!!!

 

[Dukat]

But it is Myspace they are real friends!!!!

I bet 390 of them are bands

 

[Chilly]

What they *really* need is a facebook profile. That would springboard them into the national spotlight!

:touch: every one knows that face book is the best thing to get noticed

 

[UrganNagru]

To give the bugger his due, replied to my e-mail:

The question you want to ask yourself is DID THESE PEOPLE ASK TO BE
ENLIGHTEND BY ENGLAND?

Did they say, thanks for the good hygene, NOW GO AHEAD AND PLUNDER ALL OUR
NATURAL RESOURCES.

Did they say, thanks for the school, NOW STEAL ALL MY OIL.

Saying you did all this great stuff is a bit like America saying it's
bringing FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY to Iraq......don't you think?

And as for bringing stability to places like India or Uganda......how stable
were they when they devolved into chaos the moment you left? The stability
was an illusion, wasn't it? And millions suffered because of it.

But, as an American, I can respect a difference of opinion and enjoy the
conversation. Have a good day.

Complete BS by a nutjob but he replied,:eek2:

 

[Skyler]

Can you say lol?

 

[Paradroid]

It is laughable isn't it? We've just finished paying-off the hired help (the USA) from the last "World" war which left us skint and empire-less, and these tools want 31 trillion? We're fucked if India gets in on this, you do realise?


We're being blamed for the industrial revolution! ...and for our "bad" inventions?!? ....all from an internet webpage no less!!! (ffs) hahahahahahahahaha

...aaahahahahahahahaha....

..aaah.(*sigh*)


I'm a fucking neanderthal and everyone owes me bigtime, you hear?

 

[Paradroid]

...I see they have a section called:

Are you racists?


They should have one that says:

Are you mental?


Here's a couple of rebuttals:

"Previous occupier has deceased, please stop sending mail to this address."

"It was the fucking Romans, they started it, go ask them for money...well, it might have been the Egyptians. Why don't you wait a couple of thousand years then rob our graves, like we did?"

 

[throdgrain]

Im sure the celts want thier land back from the Anglo-Saxons too. And I sure as hell want reparations from the Normans!
Bastards!!
