a summary would be this: how to lie, how to be an hypocrite, how to be a perfect bastard, how to invade and loot other countries, how to invoke the right of self determination for squatters, invaders and other scum.
in brief, what england has been done since its f*cking creation.

Feb 10th, 2015 - 05:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK has one of the world's largest network of diplomatic missions.
Paul, you use teenage emotion. I use adult fact.
Well given the standard, or lack thereof, of diplomatic ability shown by Argentine diplomats and their PRESIDENT, then I'm sure that there is plenty that could be learned by some.

Your use of English is also slipping.
”in brief, (needs a capital I as you are starting a sentence plus the comma is unnecessary) what england (capital E required) has been done (doesn't make grammatical sense) since its creation? (you require a question mark because you are supposedly asking a question).
Well let's see what England has done since its creation.
Introduced the legal concept of innocent until proven guilty
Introduced the jury system to allow people to be judged by 12 of their peers
Introduced a Parliamentary democracy which has been copied around the world, hence why the English (now UK Parliament) is referred to as the mother of ALL Parliaments
Discovered antiseptics
Discovered anaesthetics
Discovered vaccines
Discovered antibiotics
The internet/world wide web
The whole Industrial Revolution, which lead onto the discoveries of many things, and the creation of society (you know paulcedron - that society that means that you don't have to spend your life toiling in fields and scraping a living).
The modern sewerage system (which was so brilliant that ALL modern sewerage systems (including those in Argentina) are based on it

In fact there are thousands upon thousands of discoveries and inventions that the English invented, even more when Scottish, Welsh and Irish are combined under British inventions.
And what has Argentina done for the world?
Corned beef?

Stuff like that.
