    Nationalism is another form of control. Just felt like adding that. :)

    What 'world' is pissed off with us? Please elaborate. Sweeping unfounded generalisations breed ignorance, intolerance and fascism.

    But it's "us and them", isn't it? Fly the flag for lady Brittania, feel proud for "our" country, Back Britain!

    Our fervent Nationalism prevents us from seeing that our country's government and it's big business masters help keep the world's poor poor, and the world's starving starving. But that's alright, not long until starvation is a commodity that can be privatised.

    This is 2005, not the 19th century.

    So what is so great about having any nationality? In the scheme of things, it means sweet fuck all.

    I'm meaning - what do you define as the country? It's government? It's people? It's businesses? You'll find that maybe some peoples hate our government and businesses for what they are doing to the world right now, or doing to their countries, or towns, or villages, or rainforests, or water, or anything else that our government and business likes to rape.

    But very few people will hate us - the 'British' people, they're probably perplexed as to how we can sit back and let Britain Plc get away with it.
