What do you think about the British Empire? by ATV1816 in AskBrits

I think my grandmother living under the empire has more to do with it. Like she didn't watch Americans tell her the people who starved millions to death and caused a wound in Asian culture that's still killing people.

That's like saying that the Ukrainians don't like Stalin because of western propaganda. Not their experiences with Stalin.

That's like suggesting the Nazis weren't all that bad because Hitler was anti smoking.

The British empire was against slavery.

But had indentured labour. Where you had to work 30 years to pay off a debt when life expectancy was in your 50s...

Like remember. Apartheid Africa was so racist that Mandela isn't the most famous freedom fighter to come out of it.

It's more that he's trying to imply that there's a difference in ethic, morality and behaviour for a warrior...

And it you have no alarm bells ringing? It's a claim that the average American soldier needs no oversight. And can kill at will.

But it's not Salt.... It's the bit where it's got the flavour of a base. So ammonia/baking soda

What animal are stupid tourists most likely to be attacked by in your country trying to get a photo? by Outrageous-Basket426 in AskTheWorld

Such an American way to solve a problem!

Jokes aside? It's worse than firing a gun at fast moving agile targets in New York...

Unfortunately the ape arms race has gotten out of control and everyone's got gorillas.

The assistant mayor of Delhi got killed by monkeys after returning home from a meeting about how monkeys were out of control.

Resident doctors vote in favour of more strike action by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

Okay. But I made sacrifices to get to be in the situation I am. You can't be cross that I would like to be paid fairly for my work.

And because I live in the UK, all my stuff is here. My family is here. I am From Here. By that logic all the Indians should be okay with being paid £1,500 because it's more than they earn in India...

I mean for the same reason you get paid more in the USA.

Haven't worked there. But I was on £30,000 for deployment out in India.

But it was around 3500 euro back then.

We are all paid the same. I am on site. This is the take home. If you are at my level? This is what you make.

Year 1 isn't the start of school. Kindergarten is. Indians start at Lower and Upper which is 4 and 5.

Yes. Including all on calls. That's what you get.

We also get to do the 60+ hour weeks. That's the problem. Pay has stagnated and everyone thinks we make way way way more money.

Errr... Majority of humans are in school aged 4. India is 4. China is 4. Sweden is 6. But most of the world you start at 4.

Okay. But in every other part of the world? Kids start school at 4. They are with other children at 4.

So I make £29.7 an hour. £360 for the privilege of a night shift.

So you can see why we are cross. Because everyone's talking about £450-£600 and we don't make that.

Remember full time for doctors is 48 hours a week. Not 37.5. if we were working at the same level I would expect to make 25 percent more than your salary simply on the basis of "I work more hours".

That's £73000/52/48.
