Was having a discussion with someone who said this and my reply is as follows:-

*Trump 4 President*
"What has Trump being president got to do with you? Your [sic] not even American your [sic] British!"
First of all, I'm Scottish, you know, where a normal government is in power who have the absolute interest of the people in mind. Where we don't have to worry about our kids getting shot up when they go to school to better themselves and give them a future that matters. Where pretty much everything is free (we don't mind paying our taxes to ensure this remains!) like healthcare (and btw, our NHS is better than both England and Wales) and education (regardless what social class you belong to) and housing (for the sick and out of employment) amongst other things we are all awfully proud of.
(And bear in mind, the only nation to revoke any honours given to that nasty piece of work was a SCOTTISH one - because we know how to treat people like that, their cheque book doesn't give them immunity here!) And let me take this moment to thank his mother from the bottom of my heart for taking her ovaries to the United States and breeding over there so we didn't get lamped with him. Thank you, we love you, Scotland!
Anyhoo...If I were "British" (which I'm assuming you mean "English" because no other collection of people on Earth calls the Scottish "British" - ignorance muchly?) I'd have David Cameron and his slimy bastard friends having *full* control over this beautiful and fair nation.
Let's face it sweetheart, I'd rather have David Cameron and his Cons rule me rather than have the racist ignorant fudface that is Donald Trump rule me. At least David Cameron is anti-guns, not homophobic (he was all for legalising same-sex marriage), not racist (openly?), and although he does say some stupid shit (and occasionally fucks dead pigs), Trump tops all that to a stellar level.
Secondly, I don't know if you have noticed (inside your idiotic little bubble that you clearly dwell in) and as much as every other nation on Earth regrets but knows is true, America has an immense influence over most countries on this planet...so it does fucking matter to the rest of us.
Trump is going to send America into ruin, perhaps civil war and rebellion, but ultimately straight back to the f***ing stone age. Do you really want that? I bet you'll be anti-guns when your kids get shot while learning their alphabet innocently, hoping for a bright future - something Trump will never be able to provide. I seriously want the drugs you are on, cause you'd need to be on some funky s**t to find that THING worthwhile and be openly proud of him...I'm embarrassed for you!
Also worth noting is he's unable to sort out his own finances, so what bloody chance has he got with one of the biggest and richest nations there is? Hey, he can go and sue every nation on Earth because they all hate him. $5million each btw. Sorted!
Well that's my "two pennies' worth" (because I'm "British") or "two cents" for all you 'Muricans!
God Bless America.

Gladiator Essay
So I got into college thanks to my 500 word essay on my favourite movie. This is it:-
---------------------------------------------------------------
Gladiator:
My favourite movie is by far ‘Gladiator’ by David Franzoni and directed by Ridley Scott in 2000, staring Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius.
Maximus is a devoted Roman General who is deceived by Commodus, the megalomaniac son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Commodus murders his father to become Emperor, knowing that his father wished to make Rome into a republic once again. Commodus becomes upset and smothers his father. Commodus orders Maximus’ family to be murdered and Maximus to be executed because his father thought of him more of a son. Maximus escapes. He rushes across country but he is too late, his wife and child have been killed. He buries them but is attacked by slavers and taken to North Africa. Maximus rises though the ranks as a gladiator, determined to have his revenge, until he enters the biggest and best arena of all, the Colosseum – the only amphitheatre that he will be able to face Commodus. He gives his all and fights tough opponents, so impressive that the Emperor wishes to meet the “The Spaniard” as he is known. When he comes face-to-face with Commodus, Maximus says to him “My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next” Commodus is desperate for Maximus to be killed and tries to set him up. But he is too smart and strong. Commodus, a wannabe warrior who is intensely envious of Maximus for gaining the love for his father he never had, goes too far and in the end challenges Maximus to a one-on-one duel. Just as they enter the Coliseum Commodus stabs Maximus, fatally wounding him. After a tense battle, Maxmius defeats Commodus and dies in peace, joining his wife and son in the afterlife. The movie can be pretty much summed up by the Emperor Commodus, who when confronted by Maximus he said: “the general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an Emperor” The interesting thing is the real Commodus was killed by a real gladiator, but not in the arena. He was drowned in the private quarters of his palace in his bath. But he was also well known to fight like a gladiator. Of course, when Commodus faced opponents for real in the Colosseum they all allowed him to win. In the movie I think it correctly shows that although he is physically fit he is not a warrior like Maximus is. The movie has stunning special effects and an immensely emotional soundtrack that adds to the sensation of the storyline. The first time I watched it I had shivers up my spine. Ancient Rome is a very interesting topic to me and this added to that. It’s a movie I can watch over and over without becoming bored. And for that reason, this is my favourite film of all time and I would recommend it to anyone.
