Cover art for Banner Year lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy

And this is why I'm English, not American.

The first Americans (that did all this crap) where English, man.

However, were the English justified in their imperialistic pursuits? Maybe you should re-read "The White Man's Burden" or "Kim" or "The Man Who Would Be King" again...

@socialengineer You might want to do just the tiniest amount of reading about your own country. There's a phrase involving glass houses and rocks that's very appropriate here. If you wanted to rank modern countries by historical atrocities committed, as hard as we've been fighting our way up the leaderboards, we still have come close to England.
