Much like Rome or France is the birth mother of Britain.

Of course you would. Self-reference would have to be the method of choice if you would have to support your claims
Yeah, teenagers do act like that, being all ROFLMAO at their parents. Use a different mother tongue if you hate Britain that much. Go on... act on your beliefs, rather than being all hypocritical.
Oh, and it's about time you tidied your room.

And, for the love of fuck, buy yourself a history book (and read it).
But not before you've put out the garbage and done the dishes.

You mean... like the Romans did? Or is that a reference to the Native Americans?

Romans had guns?
They subjugated all the peer powers whose military technology is on par with their own to get to their great empire.
I didn't say the US is great empire because it abused the Indians and took a lot of their land. I say the US became a great empire by becoming powerful enough to easily secure itself with its own resources from any single or plausible combination of other powers, while excerting a dominating economic, military, scientific and cultural power around its world, sort of like Rome.
Only Rome did it for much longer than we are likely to.

The greatest people on earth are the Italians.
Proof:
(1) we have the pope, therefore we rule the heavens.
(2) we have the mafia, therefore we rule hell.

Oh, and I didn't have to mention pizza, capuccino, gelato and Ferrari...

Just because British natives were still putting lime in their hair when the Romans came ashore didn't mean the Romans didn't subjugate plenty of other more advanced people with first class military technology equal to Rome's own, like first the city states of Magna Grecia, then Carthage, Macedon, Phrygia, Thrace, Pontus, Ptolemaic Egypt, and Seleucid empire of the middle east.
Your comments about Rome were laughable (and not in a good way). I'll need to tell my tutors that they should all hand back their doctorates, so that they can be re-taught Roman history by someone with access to Wikipedia. Some of them will be disheartened, seeing as how they are published authority figures in their field.

Just... fucking... wow.
So it isn't just ancient history that you're clueless on.
My time with you is done. Bai bai.
