Isn't it back in German hands now?

I checked on the company's website. H&K was taken over by the British Aerospace/Royal Ordinance technology concern in 1991, but switched hands again to private investors in 2002.

This just proves the point that half of you Americans don't even know that other countries exist outside your own boarders.

I have to say, that confuses me abit too, how were they not the strongest after WWII if tehy started out as teh strongest? They weren't exactly in control throughout WWI and WWII, I would probably say Germany was the strongest in both cases, just one-on-one. Although I would probably say the US wouldn't have been in any better shape if they were in that geographical position.

Eh im not American, im Irish you idiots! please note for future reference the "from Dublin" clearly located under my name!! "This just proves the point that half of you Americans don't even know that other countries exist outside your own boarders" this proves you (personnally not English people in general) dont even notice nations that you border lol

And there's no way England was the most powerful country until the end of  WW2, how Elite came up with that I dont know. It was obviously between the US, Germany or the Soviet Union.

ok britiain was number 1 power before ww2 BECAUSE, it had a huge empire as u know, but during the war, most alot of them where invaded and such, only india, austrailia and new zeland and a few others where left, and at the end of ww2, britian was almost bankrupt. i swear down it was the number 1 power until 1939!!!

dont want to flame you or anything man, but you are arguing about people not knowing about countrys outside their own borders, but yet you are now refering to England not being the most powerful country. I do believe people have been talking about Britain. England isnt Britain man, i know that alot of people do believe this to be true, but there are other countrys who are part of the Brittish Empire!

On a lighter note, the Commonnwealth Games in Melbourne.

On the tv, there was a feature of some of the highlights of the games, they showed some build up and that the Australians were hoping to do well in the swimming pool. They thought that they would clean up with the medals, but then the person narrating the highlights said "But the Empire Struck Back". - refering to scotland and england winning a lost of the medals.
I had to laugh at this, sounded like something from Star wars!

In Chester (where I am from) it's legal to shoot a welsh person with a bow and arrow whilst you're on the walls (the romans built a massive wall around chester) at midnight.

Despite this law, I've not seen/heard about any welsh people getting shot by a b&a

I only said that because that is exactly what you would expect an American to say. Is that not true?

(As a side note, I passed the TOEFL test with full marks. Beat that then.)
