[Paulus]

My money is on India, but the ***** may be the first to do something very crazy.

Indian Wing Commander just committed suicide. This might conflict actually turn into an memorable world event.

A unique situation where Pakistani cow shields would be more effective than human shields.

I'm sure they'll try both. 

 

Team India!

Churchill said this would happen. He said the uncivilized savages would be at each others throats if they were left to their own devices. Churchill knew the kindest fate for all of them was for them to remain subjects of Her Majesties Government. It’s not like the Irish who were obviously civilized. They’d be better off under British oversight. The biggest issue with colonialism was that it didn’t last long enough. 

 

 

This could be nothing. But it could also turn into July 1914 quickly. Nobody in Europe in July 1914 thought war imminent.

Showing off your knowledge of history again?

 

Very few people thought Irish were civilized at the time of their war for independence.

I disagree with that.

Is that a fact-based opinion or on the color of heir skin?

Clarified it for you, GG.

If you want to know if the English aristocracy thought they were better -- sure. But not uncivilized. Sure they'd say so, but Darwinism and all. Further, the attitude of the British are just that, and the Irish had good relations with America, Germany, and many other parts of Europe.

And was Churchill wrong? Yes or no?

 

While skin color came into play for Churchill's perspective it does not mine. The British were obviously superior though, they just misdiagnosed the reason.

Of course.  No one's called the Irish "savages" since January at the latest...

One term I hate because it's a lie is the "dark ages." God bless Irish monks for helping us keep the record during that awful time.

Those damn Hindus and Sihks can't get along with anybody! They're always causing problems and blowing things up everywhere they go and they have never gotten along with their neighbors. Wait, thats not right.....

I swear, this entire subforum is becoming unreadable.

 

We used to be capable of getting the idiots to self-deport via shaming or ignoring them depending on their personality types, but now they run the asylum.

Tell that to Jonathan Swift.   At the turn of the century, only Italians occupied a lower rung than the Irish on the civilization meter.  But hey, they were white, so that counts for something in your book.

1. Which century?

2. Where are you getting that?

3. From whos perspective?

4. Not true on the white thing. There are many white savages.

I know I’m going regret this...

 

But are there any nations comprised of non-white non-savages?

Try reading history and understanding contemporary accounts of the people

Many? No. Since you said nations, there aren't many. Most white people are civilized and there's a reason for that -- the gladius and scutum. With the gladius and scutum most whites were introduced to civilized ways. But, I don't hold Russians in a high regard. They're white. But ask me what I think about the Goths, and the Gauls...I wont speak highly of them, and it is their great fortune and to their benefit that Rome pulled them from the darkness. Again, and I'll be very clear, I do not believe in racial superiority. I believe in cultural superiority.

That's what I thought....

 

Thanks for playing.
