How could you let your country turn into a third world pit. [/quote] take it u have never been to the UK, we have a much smaller population than all but france above us in the top ten. Not a 3rd world pit, expensive yes but still and always will be one of the best countries in the world to live in. Also why do people go on these forums and slag off other countries? if u dont like that country just dont visit! two words ' grow up ' [/quote] Well, Brits are world famous on this forum for high horse lecturing and slagging off other countries(especially America) so you shouldn't be surprised to see some nerd-rage blow-back. [/quote] Blow it out yer ass, Silverstein! :shitstream::ahhh: [/quote]

Britain has been deposed by Brazil as the sixth largest economy in the world, latest figures show.
In a dramatic illustration of changing global economic fortunes, the UK has fallen behind a South American nation for the first time.
The U.S., China, Japan, Germany and France occupy the top five places.
More often associated with football and dirt-poor shanty towns known as favelas, Brazil is fast becoming one of the powerhouses of the global economy.
The largest country in Latin America, its economy has surged because of vast reserves of natural resources and a rapidly growing, and cash-rich, middle class.
