Really Pondgirl, Granted the Aborigines of Australia have had an horrendous time, so have the Indians of North America. But you can't tell me the peoples of Africa are better off now than when they were colonialized by the Europeans.

So you don't have a problem with the British moving abroad and changing other countries you just don't want it happening in 'yours'. 

If you change the name of the country in the jingoistic rant that you C&P'd above, to any of the countries that Britain colonised and sent Christian Missionaries to I expect the same would apply.

I must admit my irony meter nearly burst when I read:

"I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you should do it in English.  I believe there should be no other language option."

Really??  And when in Catalunya or Spain I hope that you don't speak anything other than  Catalan or Castillian, because if you did or if you expected any help in English that would be hypocritical, wouldn't it?

"If you are a BAD Brit too, please forward this to everyone you know...."

If anyone sent this to me I would forward it...straight to the trash.
