hey at least you're not italian.

what do you mean by this?

are you not proud to belong to this jewel set in the silver sea?

>tfw American plastic paddy

your country's praised for its culture, history and architecture here though. rightly so.

no one has anything good to say about england here

theres nothing to be proud of

LOL

Good. Hating yourself as a Brit is the first step to becoming a better human being. I'm saying "better", not "good", because the hole to climb out of is very deep.

cuck faggot.

actually very good bait desu

bet you're a real draw at parties

do you have testosterone deficiency?

native american here
>tfw people treat you like a noble savage with some kind of spiritual connection to the earth

do they really?

what a laugh!

t. american

You should have known better when posting on a Prussian board.

How does not being delided about my country's achievements mean I have less testosterone?

You should have figured that out on your own long ago. *nglos ruined philosophy with their analytics

just because of ww2?

Veeky Forums made me love being British even more. Fuck papists, fuck the pope and fuck the EU. Even now under Trudeau, Canada is already getting close to England post Brexit and we will become their biggest trading partner. I hope more British people move to my town (Calgary) because they're great people with a great culture.

But you're Canadian.

A

Yes, and Canada is a part of the British Commonwealth. We have Her Majesty, the Queen, on our money.

Are you an English/scottish/welsh/northern irish person born in the UK?

If not, you are not British. You are Canadian.

It's like saying Ethiopians are Italian.

My parents were both born in HK, and came in on their British Passports. I'm British, just like all other Canadians are.

No you are not. You are Canadian. If you were born in the UK, you would be British.

> anonymous board makes you something and something
Growup already.

Not so, despite appearance, Canada is composed of stock from the British Isles, much the same with the people and culture of the united states.

This isn't the case with the Ethiopians, they're merely a weak state the Italians tried to absorb to satisfy that fat pillock's ego.

>If you were born in the UK, you would be British.
You mean the British Isles, which would include Ireland too.

So?

Britain is composed of people originally from North Germany. Am I German?

Egypt is composed of people from modern Saudi Arabia. Are Egyptians Saudi Arabians?

Canada is commonwealth dude.

There's also the fact that they were part of a common brotherhood of nations.

Don't you think this holds some weight?

Ah, so Kenyan people are British as well?

>not embracing your eternal beadiness

t. kraut

No. Sharing a monarch doesn't mean you share a nationality.

The moment people began being born in Canada after it became an independent state, they were Canadian, not British but with British heritage.

do they have Her Majesty, the Queen, on their money?

>Your nationality is determined by your monarch

So Spanish people were Austrian during Charles V's rule?

If you ask most Canadians they will claim to be British.

And they're wrong.

According to you? You sure showed us.

t.nigel cucksworth III

I'm not that guy.

They're wrong because they're not born on the British isles. End of story.

Thats not the definition of British.

"British people, or Britons, are the citizens of the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Crown dependencies, and their descendants."

Canadians are British. End of Story.

>Even now under Trudeau, Canada is already getting close to England post Brexit and we will become their biggest trading partner.
Literally what.

Did you miss that in October the Canadian-European Trade Agreement was finished and that it is about to be ratified in a few weeks?

And even disregarding that the EU sans Britain is a much more importat trading partner than just Britain, the USA is an even more important trading partner to Canada.

Also, Canada is an export-oriented country mostly producing resources for producing industries, of which the UK is totally bereft. There's no point to investing into trade with the UK from the standpoint of Canada.

Lastly, the Commonwealth means nothing when it comes to realpolitik. Look how Britain got fucked by the Indians on the matter of visas.

Yes it is.

A British Person is someone born in Britain with British Ancestry. If they do not fulfil these 2 prerequisites, they are not British.

>Britons, are the citizens of the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Crown dependencies, and their descendants.

Close descendants. Not people born in Canada with far back Canadian ancestry.

I suppose Americans are British too? i suppose English people are French also?

From how far away can you track a riding paleface by putting your ear on the ground?

Go look up the actual defitinion now

"Fuck you all" literally should really be our national motto, continentalfags cant even compete

They just hate us because they are not us.

>England

doesn't exist

It's one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. Yes it does exist.

there is not any recognised nation of England, it has no embassy, scotland is more a nation now than england, at least they can be said to have a parliament

There is no embassy, as all 4 are represented under the UK.

yes, you are not english subjects, you are british

and so, england does not exist, it is not a living idea, it is a museum piece

It's a country legally you dunce.

We're all represented under 1 state.

Queen of my dick is more like it

>scotland is more a nation now than england, at least they can be said to have a parliament

Only because the UK Parliament gave them a token one so they could take the flak for their terrible NHS and schools.

>and so, england does not exist, it is not a living idea, it is a museum piece

I don't think you understand what a union is. It's a union of multiple countries. Those countries didn't just wink out of existence in anything but an international diplomatic sense.

>being a german in the 21st century

>It's a country legally...

yes, a formal designation, like your mother's maiden name

>tfw Portuguese
>tfw Veeky Forums made me love the British

Veeky Forums as a kraut his has taught me my people were created just to destroy Europe, which i wouldn't mind if we actually came out on top for once instead of destroying ourselves with it.

>remoaner detected

I'm sorry your unnavoidable history kind of hinders pleasant discourse for you on a bengalese woodcutter's mailing list

Why if not for Napoleon then the British empire would have never ended

Stop. You are Canadian, with British parents.

you know where your containment board is bucko

Only coasties in NYC or Hollywood view you like that. Here in Nebraska we know first hand what type of scum you are.

>being pro-brexit means you are literally hitler
this is why you lost the referendum just so you know

that's not all fair, they're only men and women inheriting a life put on them by decisions made well over a hundred years ago

nostalgic foolishness and blind """patriotism""" is the chief cause of that result

Yup, couldn't have anything to do with the EU itself.

Like what? They don't even have to pay federal taxes unlike the rest of us, they're essentially protected species according to federal law yet they live worse than animals, extremely high child mortality, alcoholism, drug use, mental retardation, crime etc. Pine Ridge reservation makes Africa look developed and has crime rate higher than Detroit.

no doubt you swallowed all those misinformation UKIP docs hook, line, and sinker

>if you had any concerns about the EU's performance or lack of transparancy since 1992 it means you like UK1P
another reason with you lost, see you at the pub on the 29th

Thank you greatest ally.

>performance
That's very unspecific, and even if the EU was not performing well, this doesn't automatically mean that its constituents would perform better without it.
If you want to drive to town and your car is bad, your car being bad doesn't automatically mean that you'd get to town faster on foot.

>lack of transparancy
I'm very sure the EU administration itself is more transparent than the national governments, including the UK's.
You can actually freely look up the vast majority of EU documents on their servers, and contrary to the UK, the EU also has the Scandinavian institution of ombudsmanship.

The majority of "intransparency" stems from people being too retarded and lazy to look up shit that is freely available to everyone.

>performance
is this the part where we pretend PIGS didn't happen? Or the part where we pretend the EU took nearly 10 years to barely get over the 2008 crash? Or the part where we pretend the EU's growth rate is one of the lowest in the developed world? Or the part where it did wonder for Greece?

Picking non-right wing/anti-brexit sources so you can't play the 'muh bias' card

>As noted above, the European Parliament has long had a problem with the lack of transparency of comitology committees, stemming mainly from the fact that Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are excluded from the comitology process. A broader concern has been voiced about the public accountability of comitology. As sites of European governance which produce a vast amount of binding legislation, comitology's opaque mode of operation, unclear membership, and closed debate style has been the subject of criticism from both academics[3] and practitioners.

Just end the pain already lad

Good now end yourself

>economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2015/08/economic-growth-europe
Only one quarter, no comparison to other developed countries.

Link doesn't even work for me.

>socialeurope.eu/2017/02/growth-of-minimum-wages-accelerates-across-europe/
This is just about minimum wages, not wages overall.

>google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2017/feb/07/uk-g7-economy-trade-pwc-brexit-us
The factors the author lists such as "big working age population" would also be present with the UK being in the EU. In fact, specifically that one would probably even be higher. Also, again, wrong comparison group.

You didn't really read any of your own sources, did you?

>en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comitology
> Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are excluded from the comitology process.
That's a pretty dumb criticism, considering that they are supposed to be control mechanisms of the member states, not the parliament.

Hey at least your country has history. All Kiwiland has done is get colonised and
Anzac. Even the Maori only got here in the 1600's

Larping is embarrassing, why can't you be confident in your own regional and state identities? This isn't simple heritagefagging but some next level make believe.

Your monarch doesn't rule, she just has her name on stuff, its more like a sponsorship sticker in NASCAR than an actual monarchy

It's modern LARPing, paid for with tax payer money.

best kind of ruler tbqh

As an American it didn't really change my feel of my country at all

probably because we are the rulers of the present and have no reason to hang on to past glories so history has no relation to us (except remind us how far we gotten from a bunch of British tax-evaders).

/pol/ gave me some antipathy for my country though

Good
