"I'm lost as to your logic in connecting me to GRAVEYARD DESECRATIONS." -I did not "connect" you to that crime in the terms you are suggesting but instead implying that people like you who exhibit untrue and unsubstantiated comments and apparent disrespect fuelled by a bizarre hatred for the UK of which only I can think of is against the historical and present success of the Anglo Saxon world in light of it overshadowing continental Europe even to this day, can lead to such disgusting crimes based on blind hatred. How about instead of just stating your "opinions", try baking them up. In regards to the Monarchy, you only have to look at the widespread charitable contributions they make to the UK and the wider Commonwealth as well as the huge public celebrations across the Commonwealth on Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee where in London alone over 1.5 million people took to the Mall to celebrate and was watched by around 2 billion people worldwide.

So basically Arditi, you are a sad little man that has sprouted some nonsense, which has been proved incorrect by Rule Britannia and now your avoiding this issue? You?re a joke. Take your anti-British sentiment and do one.

I don't think GB is overrated militarily, not historically anyway. Alot of military tradition is british in origin or soviet style. india chose the british style of mil.organisation. soldiers fIGHT for each other and for the honour of the "paltan" or unit. ALL units in british indian army order of seniority have retained symbols,regalia,reg silver, Col. of regiment etc. post-independence because no one wanted to give it up- it mattered to much. Example: yearly beating the retreat ceremony is one of the foremost military spectacles worldwide watch it as see the british contribution to military practice. The british indian army was unparalleled since the roman army even eclipsing their own domestic British army in terms of battle experience and training- more to it than Kipling.

Mr Britannia, I'm afraid that your economic reasoning is not at all sound. To presume that, on current growth rates at this particular moment in time, that the UK will overtake Germany is simply fantasy. Germany has a number of major economic problems most notably the fact that East Germany is a major burden. Germany's economy is strong enough to be burdened with the east, I doubt Britain could have done the same - I challenge you to find an economist who disagrees. Picking and choosing growth rates today as an indication of tomorrow just isn't sound. If this were the case then we'd all have to fear China because with current growth rates of around 9%, she will someday dwarf the USA. This is nonsense. Once she starts catching up she will slow down (indeed if she catches up at all with her coming banking catastrophe is another discussion). Britain's economy has been growing strong when compared to the rest of W. Europe true. However, most of this is a result of consumption and much of this is a result of credit - a very shaky foundation indeed. Personal debt in the UK is a very serious problem - a better indicator of future economic stability.

"hey u think ur little tiny puny country "uk" is the best army............uh idont think so" ..well I'm not British for starters but for someone from a country that has failed in a number of wars to capture territory (Kashmir) from another country that you rate very lowly, you certainly have gall.
