Should Britain and Europe be blamed for the chaos and failings of the developing world?Which country that has been colonized is prospering and made it into a first world country? Its seems like britain and europe have r*ped its colonies for resources, and then granted them independence, what responsibilty have they taken? * +

Singapore, hong kong, much of asia . Many african countries are way ahead of the world economic growth average and africa as a whole is tipped to be the next 'tiger' economy. America is still the world leading super power. India has the fastest growing middle class almost 400million lifted out of poverty in the last 10yrs. There's plenty of good news and good stats if you wanna find them just as there are negative stories if thats what you wanna focus on. Choose your views * +

As many have been independant of the uk 4 quite sum time its about time they took responsibility 4 their own issues and problems instead of blaming others. As has already been mentioned look at india...they dont make excuses, they just got on wiv things and are now a strong country wiv a good economy and very hardworking people. * +
