Britain declining?

I preffer to pay for CNN in Spanish, or TVE (Spanish TV) because they show M Y   people. In there I see how Hispanics live in the United States, how Iberia and Brazil are doing, and interesting countries like GERMANY

 

Just tell people of BBC next time they go to Machu Picchu to make a documentary about llamas, that change the Colombian tune for something less exotic

 

Seriously tell me since when is China Anglo-Saxon? I need to see your argument for this, it's AE gold for certain.

 

By the way do you intentionally play upto the role of a crank or does it all come naturally?

In the same way what people think about britain is worthless when compared to what i know.

 

wherever you come from on this site, if you can look around your country and get a sence that where you are heading as a nation is better than where you have been be happy and help it on its way.

 

If you look around your country and see that where it is heading is worse than where it has been, be a catalyst to try and alter its course, thats easier said than done obviously but at the end of the day its a chance to do great things, be it in a small way or a big way, its what forms the bread and butter of history, and who knows in a hundred years our grand kids  be starting a thread on AE about what you achieved, blame solves nothing pinguin, soloutions solve everything, thats all life is, a constant search for soloutions.

 

Perhaps compared to countries like russia and china it might be, but one thing that has to be taken into account is the unique situation of britains history.  Here was a small island nation that was just remarkably stronger than it should have been based on population and national resources.  Once the rest of the world caught up with it technologically speaking it already had an enormous empire.  The empire is now gone, but it has the "dominions"/friendly nations like canada, australia etc.  So, one could argue, in a sense the empire still does exist.  When you talk about britain you really are not just talking about the island off europe, you have to take into account all the "british" nations that still have very close ties to the mother country.

 

I might have missed it but; it depends on the criteria for how the "decline" is judged.  Is this economical, military, morally, culturally, a combination...?  Immigration certainly factors into this, not sure if thats a negative or not, but a factor nonetheless.

 

If we want to believe that Britain is declining, then we accept the reports at face value. If we do the research ourseleves, then we find most of what we see or read is greatly exaggerated to a remarkable degree! Maybe i am the only one here who feels this way? But i really feel sorry for the modern day news consumer.
