my sisters tell me i am like Pearl... my middle sister says she is like the Amethyst one. i can see that resemblance, i think!

>>39806861
Actually we were looped in with Europe rather recently thanks to this dilhole David Cameron.

Now our country is open to immigration and becoming over populated and we're suffering from an economic depression.

>>39806870
I'm not even talking EU here, I'm talking this whole thing of "We're not european, stop calling us european."
I mean. You guys have an intertwined history and culture going back to the stone age with the rest of europe, etc. You guys clearly aren't your own continent so it makes sense that you're part of the eurasian continent.
>>39806868
That's like saying Jekyll Island isn't part of Georgia or America though.
>>39806865
I got in a bit of a tiff with my brother last night because of his objectively wrong view that Garnet is best gem.

>>39806880
It sounds like your brother has good taste in gems.

>>39806880
We are part of Europe. I'm pretty sure we are. Most Americans get Britain and France confused as what Europe is entirely is.

>>39806898
I know what Europe is. Its a place where white people live.

>>39806899
Not anymore

>>39806898
But then why "We're going to europe."
How can you go to europe when you're already in europe?
>>39806885
He was all being a dick about it being like "Well you know who the two best gems are?"
"Ruby and sapphire."

>>39806911
Because blacks are shit and not Britbong slavemasterace

>>39806903
>>39806885
>>39806880
i am definitely like a pearl... i am always such a worrywart.

my sister is such an amethyst!


i do not know so much though.. i have only seen a few episodes ever.

>>39806903
I'll admit. That picture of Pearl made that comment.

>>39806903
Because Europe consist of many different countries that are diverse to one another.

Unlike America in which it has many states and all proud to be white americans.

Just wiki it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe
It lists all the countries that are part of Europe.

The only thing as a brit that pisses me off is my concerns for those I love around me as they struggle with making ends meet and parliment playing with taxes and economy like a yoyo.

It was Farage's idea , he doesn't like yellows

>>39806924
I'll personally deliver him my own brand of jarate by the gallon then!

>>39806924
What is even up with Farage other than being anti-eu and anti-immigrant. I just know 8chans /pol/ is constantly creaming their pants over him and UKIP.

>>39806936
He speaks the truth all the other parties are too pony to admit

>>39806941
Other parties have ponies in them? I want to join those parties.

I don't really know much about the political parties except a bit about Green Party which looked good.

All in all I didn't bother to vote. I believe voting is pointless and rigged. Just like Scotlands Independance.

>>39806870

Your country's been in the EEA forever, which is what allows immigration. I would know, since I took advantage of that fact for a while.

Not that I would expect a Brit to understand international laws.

>>39806992
I wouldn't say 30 or years is that long.

And I admit I don't understand the etricate details of Britains politics. But you're right. We don't care and we're all struggling about it while the rich get richer and sit in Parliment all day planning expensilve multi-million pounds museums for Margarat Thatcher.

we are leaving

>>39806992
2012 Morten Olsen was better

>>39807007

It's long enough.

And it's not like that's a problem exclusive to Britain. If people in any country actually cared about politics, we wouldn't have a lot of the problems we have. Like the bipartisan system in the US. I once saw somepony claim that since having multiple parties is what allowed Hitler to get to power, the bipartisan system was better.

>>39807013

And what makes you think your opinion matters to me, Pipes?

>>39807030
Because im Pipes , now go back in time for me

>>39806880

garnet is the second best gem, but only because while her personality is way more boring than pearl or amethyst, amethyst gets so little focus compared to the other two that you cant in good conscious put her above garnet

i like the US. i think Europe should become part of the US!

>>39807083

No thank you

>>39807107
c: awww... that is okay! you can be like Puerto Rico, or American Samoa!

we will call it... American Finland

Napoleon-syndrome, but on a country scale.

Alternatively special snowflake syndrome.

>>39807113

>>39807122
...ok, i can see why that is not a good name.

we could just call you Denmark? that is your old name, right?

>>39807125

>>39807125
>>39807122
>>39807107
>>39807083

Hehe. x)

...Though i do seem to recall that America's got enough problems to contend with as is.

But i wouldn't mind giving immigrants here the option to move to the U.S. unimpaired, would be interesting to see what the actual effect would be.

>Americans
>sticking their noses in every other country
Murrifags. Explain this shit.

>>39807137
>this coming from a citizen of a colony of fucking england

pardon me if i laugh at this statement.

>>39807143
Canada isn't a colony of England. It was once, sure,

But guess what.

SO WAS AMERICA.

>>39807143

...Ember's American?

Also wasn't quite a large part of the U.S. Spanish with parts dutch and the like too?
Doesn't sound like that'd be a lot better than just having France and Great Britain as yours colonial overlords.

No?

Ah, ya live in Canada's dick. :o
Srsly though that explains a bit, if the border were straight you'd be american.

Looks like the North American continent to me. So yes, you're American by geographical location if not by nationality.

>>39807157
The majority of Canadians actually live in that area of South Ontario.

>>39807147
i know, but you were a slave state for longer. but my point was that well...like father like son. England follows Rome, The US follows England. Also if you're free, why is English royalty still on your currency?

>>39807159

Oh.

...Well fair enough then, Canadian.

>>39807161

...Well to be fair for all her ugliness their royalty does look a bit better than those old men ya put on yours.

But neither of you have the (relative) beauty that is a (remotely) young queen

Why are we doing Canada vs Murica in here?
Everypony knows we're the tag team champions.

>>39807158
North American, yes. American, no.

Difference bein' that the first one talks about continent and the second, some country called "The States".

>>39807161
A) never a "slave state"
B) because we have a constitutional monarchy wherein we recognize the Queen as our monarch, despite her being more of a figurehead than somepony with any full out monarchy power. Her representative is called the Governor General. Go to almost any Commonwealth country and you'll find the Queen on their coins.

>>39807164
Man, our Queen's family lives for fucking ever.

>>39807166
Psst. Canada is just more cool.

>>39807168

Still American from a certain point of view so I'm technically correct.

>>39807166

ember does it whenever he gets the chance because insecurity i guess

>>39807168

And she doesn't even have the decency to step down this long after she went out of date.

She's like a bottle of apple cider that went bad decades ago but which is still allowed to sit on the shelf for sentimental purposes.

>>39807168
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE!?
You've just sown the seeds of our tag team split up!

>>39807175
We gotta fix that.
Don't want people to think that Canada is the Jannety

>>39807184

...Okay, fair enough, that's some awesome-points right there.

Which one?
Have seen quite a few but probably didn't notice.

>>39807168
well slave state is more honest than colony most of the time. look at england's track record there.

also it sounds like you and england are still tied politically, so my initial giggle still stands.

Okay that's pretty awesome, she can stay a few more years if she can manage. :o

>>39807191
oh ember, why are you so statist?

>>39807199

...Isn't statist that old word ya use for the relatively democratic part of a monarch-aristocratic dual-government system?

Or did it get a new definition while i wasn't looking... or is it just a new buzzword?

Because your government constantly fucking around worldwide and now wants to put armed men in my country.

>>39807204

Well none seem to be able to until they do it anyway, but we'll see how long she'll last.

>>39807200
Negative buzzword for people who believes it's good to let the government take care of things such as infrastructure, healthcare etc.

That's what I've seen it used as lately at least.

>>39807200
it's been repurposed to describe somepony who isn't a fascist or a jingoist, but somepony who follows their government somewhat blindly. it's also sorta a slurr, from an anarchist perspective.

>>39807208

Oh, fair enough... seems odd to use it for that but so be it, i think i've seen stranger buzzwords.

>>39807210

...Jingoist?
But fair enough i suppose, especially the thingy about the anarchist perspective would explain the reason it seems a buzzword.

>>39807204
yet i am not my country.

>>39807208
eh, basically. but i tend to reserve it for people who cheerlead their country blindly or are smug about their country. like emby!

>>39807214

...Well to be fair Emby might be a bit smug but on the other hand almost anything not praising America into the stars seems to be treated like that.
Legitimate criticism, legitimate negative comparisons and discussion beyond what is commonly accepted and bickered about between Americans seems to suffer that fate an awful lot too.

I thought statist was what an-caps call anypony who isn't an an-cap even though use ownership is the only kind of ownership which can be non-violently enforced meaning that the private property concept central to capitalism can't work without a state, isn't compatible with non aggression etc. And they refuse to say that a guy owning large amounts of resources in an area, backing up his ownership claims with a private militia, is somehow different from being a state in miniature.

what's annoying about that is that the US is doing much worse then what emby knows about, but it's no skin off his back so he doesn't care.

my country is picking up where England left off in a horrifying way.

>>39807214
I've mostly seen Agiri use it here.
Which means I've mostly seen it used as a slurr I guess.

>>39807229

Ah, fair enough then, yeah that might very well be true in regards to Emberl...Emberstorm.
(...Emberland? Engstorm? didn't have the heart to remove that typo entirely)

Sorry for assuming that (that which i mentioned earlier) was the reason behind ya.

Here in America we call those people nationalists, Eli. Maybe socialists. Maybe national socialist

>>39807237

...Eh, don't both sides call eachother nazis whenever it suits their needs?

I mean to me personally it seems both sides' patriotic aspects certainly have a heavy resemblance to it, but beyond that i found it to be pretty uncomparable.

>Best gem images
New folder acquired, post more because i'm too lazy to screencap.

Britain's always been genetically distinct from the rest of Europe, simply because of how inconvenient it was to immigrate there compared to the rest of europe, coupled with our differing cultures (Scottish / Welsh / English, along with their unofficial subgroups like Londoners vs people from Liverpool) that tend to stick in the same area.

To get to England before modern times, you had to use a boat, as opposed to the rest of europe where you could simply walk / horse ride across the border to a different country.

Our navy and soldiers were world class in a literal sense in ye olde times, so trying to settle in england illegally was close to impossible.

Another factor is that our cultural identity was ridiculously strong in the past, if you were British then you were at the center of an empire that was Global, every other country envied us.

We were tough but fair, , we "didnt make a fuss." when things went to shit, we just got on with what needed doing, we knew where we stood in the world and knew that anypony could rise up into a noble line if you worked hard enough and took the right chances.
We had some actual Pride in the great kingdom we were a part of.

To see all that pissed away in favor of "Multiculturalism" / "Diversity" as mandated by the rest of europe is just wrong and not something that most britons want to be a part of.

I put those in quotes because the current idea of those two things is just backwards.

You dont celebrate multiculturalism or diversity by throwing lots of cultures into a single place, thats how you kill it by eventually homogenising everything.

>>39806956
If you want things to change, vote UKIP.

Even if you dont entirely believe in their policies, getting a third party into parliment by a significant margin will fuck up the current system that only preserves the status quo, and UKIP are the only party that has a decent chance of knocking over Labour and the Conservatives.
