Current Events > I am sorry, but everything I have seen about Japan makes it look superior to USA

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean, does say that Japan is far higher than the US. A lot of countries are.

Not trying to say the U.S. is unequivocally better than these countries, but this image doesn't say much, no breakdowns on why these countries are ranked this way

Let's take the British, for example. Okay, so first they were Celts who split off from the continental Celts and traveled to the British Isles in prehistoric times. Then, much later, those groups split (Picts, for example) into many different groups. Then you had the Romans show up and mix with them. Then you have the invasion of the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes (themselves three different 'tribes'). Then you have the invasion of the Danes, and the Danelaw. After that, you have the conquest of William the Bastard/Conqueror, who himself was from Normandy (and thus, French) and according to legend, descended from a Scandinavian (Rollo). Then you have the conquest of Ireland and Scotland, re-introducing those 'tribes'. Then you have the import of people from the various colonies (Canadians, Indians, Africans, Chinese, etc) all of which have a claim to being 'British' after several generations. So, what defines the British 'tribe', again?

To summarize, Britain is multi-cultural, and 'tribes' are not inherent ally to tribal to get along, because most of the current 'tribes' are actually mixes of tens, if not hundreds, of different cultures that amalgamated over time. There is no such thing as a 'pure' culture, and multiculturalism has been working longer than whatever the hell you are advocating.

Good post

Britain has had many foreign invaders, but most of those invaders were just a thin veneer over the indigenous populations, which have remained more or less the same since prehistory. There has never been a multicultural Britain resembling anything like the present, for better or worse.
