What is British culture?

Re: What is British culture?
China is vastly corrupt, but it doesn't stop it moving forward. Japan too. Sufficient (and properly distributed) drinking water and food will be one of Africa's main limitations.
However, on the corruption front, perhaps Africa's corruption is different from, and more limiting than, China's or Japan's. Both China and Japan have infrastructures which are developed in a way which facilitate business and organisation, thereby negating to some extent the debilitation caused by corruption. China has already started its colonisation of some African countries, and if they really get a foot-hold then the tide could turn.

When you compare that to places like India where a third of the population cannot earn enough money to meet their basic nutritional requirements everyday there's something wrong. The UN stats say India has more starving than the whole of Africa

Re: What is British culture?
Not my opinion but a funny overview
The English:-
A race of illiterate, ugly, fat, bald, dwarfish people who seldom bathe, smell and are covered in tribal tattoos. Their whining donkey like speech comprises mainly the anglo saxon F and C words interspersed with grunts. Their origin was in some forgotten god-forsaken place where they were the dregs of the race that lived there and who were cast out about 1500 years ago.
They became gypsies for a time, and unfortunately ended up in South Britain causing the original Celtic inhabitants to move elsewhere to keep away from the smell. They subsist on ‘greasy chip butties’, saveloys, tripe, chips and ‘rock cod’ a fish the Scots throw back, and Chinese and Indian takeaways of dubious origin.
They live in a place which is always wet and where the sun don't shine, no not an a**hole although their country resembles one. Their nickname is Mingers, from rhyming slang Inger Mingers. It is very apt because they do smell. The Mingers have a tendency towards homosexuality which they learn from a very young age at private homosexual finishing schools and many of their large urban parks are devoted to this activity at night.
They are an envious race and cannot bear to see other races prosper particularly the Scots, Germans, French, Americans, Welsh, Irish.and Australians. They are constantly whinging and they are cheapskates. If you want to clear a bar quickly of the English send in a person with a collection box and watch the stampede for the exit.
At weekends and when on holiday English males and females roll about in the vomit filled gutters of the towns, blind drunk, from cheap alcohol; it has to be cheap, otherwise they wouldn’t buy it. Filled with dutch courage they constantly try to physically and sexually assault each other.
Another of their pastimes is to regularly attend tribal gatherings to watch foreigners representing their local tribe play football so that they can shout insults at each other from a safe distance although these gatherings can turn violent if enough cheap alcohol to give the aforementioned dutch courage can be obtained.
England has the highest crime rate in Europe and its youths are constantly engaged in riots, looting, the rape of infants, vandalism and murderous knife fights. Also, they seem to have a racial death wish as both males and females are constantly murdering their children. They are the great unwashed (ask the Americans) and unwanted of the world, no one likes them, nor wants them living or holidaying nearby. A shame because they have some good points, namely ... er ... none.

Re: What is British culture?
You're right, corruption is everywhere. But China is feeding it's people, building them roads and rail links and the standard of living is slowly but surely increasing. I think they can balance personal gain with the well being of the nation.
When you compare that to places like India where a third of the population cannot earn enough money to meet their basic nutritional requirements everyday there's something wrong. The UN stats say India has more starving than the whole of Africa

China is mostly Han and the Han run the show. Now if China was like India in having an elite that indentify with non indigenous cultures and several hundreds of millions of Chinese were ethnically and culturally seen as quite different from the elites, then you might get a situation like India. Look at Tibet and Xinjiang, the Han are practising a policy of slow motion extermination of Tibetans and Uyghurs.
You can wipe a group/culture/race etc... off quickly by shooting/gassing/bombing them or you can do it slowly (and subtely)through starvation,enviromental poisioning and all the ill side effects that come about due to poverty.
China will clean India's clock cause unlike India , the Chinese elite and the vast majority of the Chinese masses are ethnically/culturally the same and there is no caste system. There are other factors like much more area and resources but imho the first reason is the crux of the matter.
