[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 672889, member: 38640"] On the ANZACs - Well as I mentioned, there were actually far more English and French soldier that died. It's more that the 19th century tactics employed by British officers resulted in so many deaths. I'll note that most people in both Australia and New Zealand look on the campaign with some kind of pride as it's one event where we forged a national identity. But again I'm not sure who 'hates' the English. A lot of nations prefer to be independent and they base it on not seeing advantages of remaining part of England - noting the disadvantages of remaining with England. Because of the close boundaries of Scotland and England there may be a minority who generally 'hate' the English - but in New Zealand and Australia no one [I]hates [/I]the English. In New Zealand you'd probably find just as much declarations of hate in regard to the French - and significantly more so to Australia. Even then it's only ever really a laugh. Occasionally someone will say they wish England never came to New Zealand, but it's certainly not the white majority :D. United States portrays anyone of any relative population size, who have ever opposed them in any minor fashion, as a bad guy in film. At least Hollywood made James Bond, all South Africa has going for it is the 'diplomatic immunity' ******* who dies in Lethal Weapon II. Oh? One example to represent your basis of "Everyone who thinks England has ever done anything wrong is uneducated" - being one forum post you saw when someone is wrong? Okay. All English people are Gary Glitter. I took a sample size as large as yours - and have extrapolated that all English people wrote the song "I Love You Love Me Love" and then went to South East Asia to molest children. [/QUOTE]
