Is Might Right?

I don't know whether this has been discussed before mid thread elsewhere so i thought i would put it out for debate, due to Bruvs comment.

What would have, or would become of England, firstly, or the UK as a whole if we didn't stand by the US or have our big gang called the European community.

Would we be fighting for survival, again!

You can see where i'm coming from here...it was just a thought...could have explained it a bit better...tired, bobo's, bye.

Ask the same question about places like Switzerland, Finland (I think)

The Brits have always been seen as the nice sensible guy with muscles (put simply).
When we spoke quietly the world listened.
Now we have aligned oursleves with the brash selfish village bully....He may be right sometimes ....but he's a bighead
Now we are tarred with the same brush..and when our bully friend is busy "taking care of business" his enemies are our enemies.....and we are fair game.
We all know right is not always right....and we all know that one day the bullyboy meets his match and gets a good kicking....and his mates too.

I'm unable to give you any rep points but I think you get the drift from the fact that I tried.
Great analogy!

Great point of debate.

So when the bully rolls over and dies where are we then, and how many "mates" are left...and i aint talkin' condoms.

I am surprised you rolled over Bruv...

I think we would be a whole lot better off. No European law.

Bruv · 03-03-2007, 11:53 PM

We ruled the world but with a certain amount of decorum and mutual respect.
Obviously not ALL the time.you cant wade into someones backyard and take over nicely

The Commonwealth is proof of our position of respected and respectful authority

It's also suffocating and restricting.
