Hey, I love British people.  You are our mother country.  I think the accent is sweet!  And London has some pretty awesome sights.  Of course we like the British from a military perspective, but that's only a very small thing in a whole ocean of reasons.  By the way, my uncle is British, and he's one of the most awesome people I have ever known; he's always giving me hugs!

Can't answer your question directly.  But, go to www.bbc.co.uk/history for all the facts and more.

The Britis are far from perfect, but they are quite civilize compared with the many nation-states who have achieved such dominance that they have invaded and took over other countries.\n\nOne, therefore, is tempted to say that the United Kingdom would be a first-rate country to dominate the United States.  Certainly, one can expect that England would have eased its exploitative policies toward the colonies.\n\nBut the one thing that would be missing is that the capital of the colonies would be thousands of miles away.  That is not conducive to good government.  On the other hand, we have the example of Hawaii -- one of the 50 states -- but 5,000 miles away from Washington D.C.  As time goes on, distance bceomes less of an obstacle.  Still, there are independence movements in Hawaii.

I lived in England for a few years.  yeah, the portions were a lot smaller, but people over there walk a lot more in their daily lives- they aren't so car dependent. Same is true for most of Europe. \n\nHowever, I saw loads of overweight Brits!  More than I expected.  We still have them beat, but they aren't a nation full of only thin people.

I can't really say much for the education and family system, as that is not my subject, but I can tell you to be careful... British people don't seem to like people immigrating into their country... good luck.

These websites should get you started.  A couple are UK websites but they might also have applicable information.  I hope they help.

The UK is in the EU for the same reason all the other countries are.  They can't compete successfully on the world market by themselves, especially as other countries are creating trade agreements (NATO, OPEC, NAFTA, APIC, etc), so they need to unite to stay soluble.

Ok, first off Great Britain and United Kingdom are interchangeable, as far as I know there is little difference, except maybe that Great Britain is not inclusive of Northern Ireland whereas Great Britain is. \n\nEngland is no more of a country than Wales or Scotland, collectively they make up the nation of Great Britain. Like counties they have certain governing bodies that deal only with themselves but all are beholden to British law and parliament. The confusion mostly comes from the fact that in their history they were once seperate countries, much like Britain and Ireland are seperate countries today (with the exception of Northern Ireland) but today they are all considered of the same country.

England is a pretty birlliant nation, but it does involve itself with a lot of foreign nonsense, and there's a whole boat-load of illegal immigrants working under shite conditions as well.\n\nSweden does a fantastic job with this sort of thing, human rights and relations.\n\nBut my guess is that ICELAND wins.  They are officially the least corrupt nation, and they once stymied a building project because people claimed it would disrupt some elves or spirits that were living in the area.  So imagine the concern they actually have for humans.

If you mean you would like to come to the UK, i wouldn't bother. Stay over there! We have Blair here, who's more Bush than Bush himself, so you probably wouldn't like it here anyway. Most of us living here don't. But if you'd like to engage in conversation about how crap both sides of the pond are, that'd be just grand! :)

Hmmm ... yes and no ....\n\nThe United Kingdom has a large population of muslims, mainly from what was once part of the British Empire ... untold millions from Pakistan for example ... the majority of them are peaceful, but there's no doubt they are on a mission to take over the country ... and with the influx of the Eastern European countries into the European Union, Britain will also have to deal with any number of Romanians, Bulgarians and Polish people ... all out to create a "better life" for themselves ...\n\nIt won't be long before Britain, as we know it, will be but a fond memory, and it's all due to spineless governments who are desperately afraid of not being PC enough ....\n\nWe don't have the same problem in the U.S. YET ... but give it another few years of unhindered illegal immigration, and we'll soon be there ... as another respondent pointed out, it really is only a matter of time ....\n\nAs for the Mexican population being docile ... well, don't know about that ... it's not in their interest and in their religion to murder "infidels", granted ... but they're not above destroying this country with gangs and illegal drug smuggling, not to mention taking over office ... appears to me that what they want to achieve with this mass invasion is not so much to become part of the United States, but rather make the United States a part of Mexico ... give it time, and that will be achieved.  In years to come, you will indeed still be able to live here, and work, as long as you speak Spanish and do the jobs the Mexicans won't do ... :)   The United States will have become a Third World country of course, but nobody seems to be willing to look that far ahead ... \n\nSay goodbye to good quality education, healthcare and a pension ... and if you're a blue collar worker, say goodbye to even having a job ... and if you're not, chances are your job will be outsourced ... \n\nPersonally I think it's sad to see traditional Western cultures go down the drain, but that's inevitable if we continue on the same course ... I think the Canadians had better look out, because it won't be long before sh*t hits the fan up there ... I foresee an influx of disgruntled Americans, followed by another influx of Latinos, who by then will be tired of not being able to cream off the by then non-existent welfare system in the United States, and will look to creaming off the Canadian welfare system ... \n\nBut hey, why worry, main thing is that people can go and live where they like, uncontrolled and unhindered, right?

Hope this helps you out. BTW the Brits had the most colonies!!!!\n\nThe 2nd link shows which countries owned which other countries. It's taken from 1898. It's a big image so it might take a while to load if you got a slow connection.

Firstly the UK has four different Nations each with a different legal system (Scoland, Wales, England and Ireland), there is no lwa in any the prohibits the flying of a flag specifically, however, some peole may fall foul of local building codes etc. \n\nI personally fly the Salitre (The scottish flag) on my property and feel that it is one of the many patrotric things that we would do well to incoporate from the USA.
