the english have bad teeth

>Perhaps it all goes back to the introduction of the NHS in England in 1948. Before then, stories of aunts and grandmothers having all their teeth removed for convenience’s sake were common, so was it the U.S. forces coming to the U.K. during WWII and seeing — thanks in part to food shortages, rationing and poor nutrition — gap-toothed deficiencies?

it also mentions the importance of cultural imagery- American celebrities have often gone to great lengths to have their teeth straightened and whitened while British ones have not.

Did the Church of England evolve the right way, lads?

Should it have stayed more Catholic like Henry VIII intended, or gone a lot more puritan like Edward and Cranmer's ideal? Was Elizabeth's settlement land on a good mix of values and customs? Or was Mary right all along to keep England Catholic?

What we have is a Church custom-tailored for our nation, which has slowly changed over the centuries.

Should Church and State be separated? Should Anglicanism remain our state religion? Are we a Christian nation? How do you feel about the Monarchy being the head of the church?

How do you feel about the shrinking number of practising Christians in this country? Studies have shown fewer and fewer people attend church. Will there be a spiritual revival in Britain any time soon?

I don't expect you to answer most of these questions, I'm just bringing them out to ponder on. Basically, talk about your views on religion in Britain

We must destroy Scotland to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.

Poem from Canadian who fought for Britain.

"Why should we fight" he asked me,
"'Cause England is at war?
Why are they fighting now, Dad,
What are they fighting for?
What does it mean to you, Dad,
To babes, and mum, and me?
The Germans won't come here
From away across the sea.
So why should you go there, Dad,
And leave us here to cry?
Is it cause England owns us?
Is that the reason why?"
His eyes look widely at me,
I tightly held my son,
And this is how I answered,
His questions one by one.

"We fight when England calls us,
For in her sacred keep
The ashes of our fathers
Lie in her soil asleep.
And many times for England
They fought that she'd be free,
And they are part of England,
And so, my son, are we.
And some may pass her by, lad,
And some may scorn her hand,
But we must be forever
A part of that fair land.
For everything we have son,
That's good and fine and just
Was washed in British blood
And given to us on trust.

"And we must keep that trust, son,
Against the force of greed.
And fight beside old England
Whenever she's in need.
And once again she's calling
Across the Empire wide,
And all her Empire answers:
"You'll find us at your side"
Oh yes, we're owned by England,
But we own England, too,
As you are part of me son,
And I am part of you"

Why dose /his/ hate us so much?

I assume it's jealousy but you can't mention a single pro British thing on this bored without 3 other anons trying to either downplay it or dismiss it entirely.

Also daily reminder it took 10 campaigns and 40 years to conquer Britain, whilst Gaul fell in 8 years and suffered almost a million casualties.

Since when is being forced out of power in your own kingdom, being thrown in an English jail cell for over a decade, and being executed for trying to overthrow the current queen best queen of England material.
Also cast my vote for Queen Mary I as best queen, cracking down on those darn kids and their new fangled Protestantism.

Why does it so happen that British colonies have the greatest rate of success post-Independence. Even the ones that weren't settled by anglos.

Hey guys! What can I do to understand Shakespeare better? I'm an ESL and I can't find many of the words I read.

I think the CoE should be the moral compass for those who subscribe to the English way of living. That being said I sympathise with the old latitudinarian doctrine that the church should encourage philosophical debate on the nature of morality, faith, and how society should react to new technology.
