You 'run' the world in technology because the British invented everything. America simply funds it and brings it to market.

Throughout history British engineering is responsible for the greatest inventions known to man, we spread civilization throughout the world.

You got complacent and eventually fell behind. Why is it hard for you to admit this?

Either way in 50 years we both will be behind the Chinese. Accuse them of copying our sh!t all you want but the bottom line is they are the ones who are growing at an exponential pace right now while we (UK and US) have plateau'd and arent doing shyt about it.

It's not, i'm just saying :manny:

Britain has had some of the greatest scientific minds ever, america generally just ships in other countries best scientific minds.

But that's fine tbf, a country of immigrants relying on immigrants, i can't hate.

So all these non whites i see around here have not contributed AT ALL to your so called "country of great minds"? They have made absolutely zero contributions? Only Whittey did all this? Wasnt your prime minister just on TV less than 30 minutes ago appealing to FOREIGN investors? SkyNews is still replaying the sh!t as I type this :dry:

Of course they have contributed. But lol @ us being in a worse position if no africans/carribeans/indians/pakistani's came here.:comeon:

For a country as old as ours, you're going to tell me people that have been here for about 0.000001% of it's existence have saved us?:comeon:

Don't jump on our country bandwagon breh.

You the type of nikka that shyt on USA track and field but root for the USA basketball. What type of shyt is that. :childplease::what::rudy:

I been hearing that a lot from you caribbean nikkas. France have NBA nikkas with caribbean origin on their team, so why you don't root for team?

Preparation has gone well and a 5-0 thrashing of Hungary in Austria earlier this month had their Group A opponents a little nervous until it turned out that the losers were not, as first thought, the Hungarian national team but a Under-17 National Minority team that consisted of young Romani.

:russ: UAE Olympic team thought they were beasting in their tournament build up. They are hyping them up like crazy here but they will get destroyed tonight.

True but..

  • The U.S. created baseball. Cuba, Japan, Dominican republic and many other countries could take the sh!t at any time right now
  • Yes we run the world in technology. But you have to understand that when these other countries were at the top THEY had the latest technology too for that time period.

This is why im concerned about schools in the U.S. Too often our universities are viewed more for their athletics than actual academics. There is a reason why you see most of our technology experts are indian. India, about 20 years ago went into a massive overhaul of its educational system in order to make it better. And the results are obvious now with Indian engineers all over the world running sh!t.

What are we doing in the meantime?

Quadrippling the cost of education while offering free scholarships to "student athletes" of whom 3/4 will not even attempt to really take a challenging degree to develop their brains and really have a shot at a career. When you consider that only about 5 to 10 percent of these "student athletes" actually go to the pros (let along make it once they go) you have a lot of wasted scholarships while the University still gets its money and the government aint doing sh!t to improve the affordability of an education. So what happens is your companies who need talent with actual grey matter have to look overseas and hire indian and chinese firms and even recruit students overseas to come be their lead experts in technology.

Quick examples:

  • The company i work for staffs mostly Chinese, Indian and Russian software developpers.
  • As i type this i am in the UK visiting the Cisco offices in Reading for a project and Cisco being an American Company i see mostly Indian and Asians in their R&D teams. I've been to the Cisco Offices in North Carolina and it's the same thing.

So when you take those things into account and despite that you're not doing much to improve the educational system when you know damn well that's way of the future youre just putting yourself in a spot where you're being complacent.
AND THAT MY FRIEND IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR DOWNFALL.
