Try doing a search for "What is the national motto of England"
4,080,658,121 pages of I'm right and you're wrong.

Though, apparently, the English are considering a new motto.

Here are some actual suggestions:

"Once Great: Britain"

"Americans who missed the boat"

"At least we're not French"

"Dipso, fatso, bingo, ASBO, Tesco" (addresses the country's contemporary problems with alcohol, obesity, gambling, antisocial youth, and materialism)

"Get blotto, play the lotto, that's our motto" (my fave)

:D Yet it only takes a School childs project to own you...

Yeah, your link supports me 100 percent.
In fact, from your link:

What is the motto of England?

The motto of England and the Sovereign is

" Dieu et mon Droit "
(French for ‘God and my right’).

This thread isn't worth contributing to.

AAAAHAHAHAHA

I haven't read all eight pages, but I guess it goes something like this.

Someone: England sucks because of X.
Neck.. errr Hal: No, England is awesome because of X. America sucks because it doesn't have X!
Someone: We should nuke england because of X.
Hal: You're an evil person, this thread isn't worth contributing to and America sucks.

I just laugh that this whole thread started with Hal saying that it wasn't worth contributing to and then he repeatedly contributes to it... Gold!

No. We invented intelligence. If there's no british intelligence then theirs no American intelligence, as we created you.

If by created you mean "drove thousands away from your shit ass island because of religious oppression, attempted to exploit us failed miserably to stop us when we got up and bitch slapped you and your gay monarchy" then yes, you created us.

You also might want to read up on the intelligence network General George Washington had during the revolutionary war. The British had no fucking idea what was happening.

Are you playing dense?

"royal motto of England"

What's so hard to understand? Motto != Royal motto. I'm starting to think that the classic US stereotype of stupid burger chugging red necks is embodied by posters such as yourself.:D

One day, we'll all look back at this thread as the starting point of WW3 and laugh...

Your point is? If this was a thread that was another country and you were from the said county, would it not be offensive? Also, it's immature regardless of where you're from.

2 nukes for your town!

It's the only way to be sure!

The british can't take a joke. Another reason we should nuke them!

Okay, perhaps I was being too sensitive and not seeing this as a "joke". Please accept my apologies and I won't post further in this thread.

Ah, but there are still those of us here in the U.S. who feel speech should not be limited simply because some may find it immature or offensive.

But, since this is a privately owned site and nobody has the unmitigated right to post here, I bow to the wisdom of the mods.

There's a good reason to that, I posted that it wasn't worth contributing to, I didn't contribute to it, then someone bumped it after a while. So I replied having forgotten that I said it wasn't worth contributing to.

You guys do love talking war, and history when you have little history and a lot of war... :hmm:

I never said that. I just said you guys love talking about it, we don't. You guys are war / death addicts. We don't discuss it as a pro for our country like you do.

Nothing wrong with taking pride in a strong military and it's history. You see a problem with it then?

Also, I love how you are contributing to a thread you said you wouldn't contribute to.

I see a problem with using war as a positive for what makes a nation great. It's not a plus point that you've killed more people than me or the other way round.

Also, I love how you are contributing to a thread you said you wouldn't contribute to.
