He's not exactly praising England either, is he? He's saying that you shouldn't repeat the mistakes of England. Or at least that you should stop repeating them.

And here's a question for you.

Are we responsible for our ancestors?
If not, how can we be proud of our ancestors?

(next question will be, what makes them our ancestors? name? blood? geography? language? nothing really?)

We are not responsible for our ancestors.
We have to know history and learn lessons from it but that's it.

as for the next question:
probably people you associate yourself with?

It may be the "friendly" is open to interpretation but there are some posts on this thread that cannot be counted as friendly whatever interpretation you adopt.

You said it... somebody please mind what this thread is doing to my scrotum... and please at the same time stop the idiocy of this thread. Neither my brain nor my scrotum can bear this nonsense anylonger.

pleeeeeaaase (yes that is how much it hurts to be on the fence).

I would direct the honourable gentleman to the squiggly red line my spell checker gives me if I type honorable (or even, as I just did, hourable), and therefore suggest that it is, indeed, honourable. So ner.
