I'm happy that someone could figure out this thread being pointless..

Most of the Backroom threads are pointless (but fun).


@ Demon Archangel – you are correct. I was thinking GNP. Thanks for keeping me honest. The page I originally saw the figures on is down but wiki has a chart on it. The numbers are a bit different (maybe a comparison on a different year) but similar.

The Indian Railways are the world's largest employer according to most sources, with the PLA ranking second and the NHS third.

The reason the US won was we wanted it more. If the brits really wanted to crush us they could have....not any more though. Now we could crush them

I spat my tea out all over my monitor when I read this......I havn't had such a good belly laugh for ages. Now this is why I like Americans. They have a fantastic wit and sense of humour.

It is a matter of fact that the best trained, motivated and disciplined armed forces on the planet are British. Not English, British.

So, i think we're agreed, the best army cannot be answered with one answer, man to man with equal numbers the U.K would kick tail, groups of men together the U.S would win, closely follwed (and i mean close) by us limeys, in the numbers game, china would win, Special forces???

Just to refresh you on history. When the Europeans invaded the Americas, you got beaten badly, actually you never succeeded to retake any of your soil and today your culture is European

You never succeeded in invading the US. We sent your Mercenaries packing along with the british and you never took any land from us. And besides I thought according to Europe we have no culture. Of course jazz, blues and baseball are all european. I forget from what nation they were brought to this soil. America has ts own culture thank you and its a lot different than europes.
