Then I am quite sure you know Bangladesh is not in India.Quote:

I guess you were there at 1066. If not, you should have attended your history lessons. Romans (not Italians, Italy comes way later) built thousand year ago fortresses and roads to support military but that is not a colony, no more than France was English colony despite similarly partly occupied by the English.Quote:

Maybe you were there in 1066. William whips Harold, takes control but it's not a French colony. You prefer the term Norman colony? Nor an Italian one for that matter Um, OK. :)
And the Scandinavians never colonized parts of England either. :)
By your definition - only building forts and roads to support its military- the US was never a British colony either :)
Ah revisionism :)
All good to know :)
Right you were not there in 1066 but you were there before 1947:)Quote:

Exit, your way too sensitive, my earlier posts were directed against Pseudo, Al, Neemo and the like that get so worked up with anti American sentiment, that their collective panties bind, cutting off the blood supply to various regions, resulting in high pitched squeaking and agitated limp wrist gestures. I was never referring to you specifically, but you bit, so I caught you, threw you back in the pond- and you kept biting, 555.
Actually I have found many of your posts to be reasonable and objective. I was pulling your chain about being an Italian colony. You were a Roman colony and history clearly recorded this truth.
But you do make my point that sometimes Brits can dish it out but really don't like to be on the receiving end. Nuff said.
^Funny that, I find many of your posts reasonable and objective as well.
I think we are on the same side... they say bit of disagreement sometimes is healthy in friendship
pseudolus,
LOL I liked that but you do have dirty imagination. There is nothing wrong with man love but I have lovely wife. You need to find some nice bloke for you.
Missed Casablanca reference. Now I think most of my movie and popular culture and science references are missed here. Clearly this is not Cambridge or Harvard debating society. Or should I make my references more clear. Like Here is An Apple. Is it an Apple? Can planes fly at night without light? Why is moon less visible during daylight?
Are you confused? Sad? Confide in me

And Limeys don't like it when the tables are turned on them. When they pull some one's chain its a joke; when they get it back it's bad manners, 555!
Opps, sorry Neemo, your are a Limey Light? (Aussie) In that case I understand your frustration- all you need is to bee bop over to New Zealand, put on your little Bo Peep out fit, and let the Kiwi guys fok you senseless :)

You are too hard on British. British are strongest ally of US and have most powerful military after US.
Yes there is anti-American sentiment in the UK but most people like US, many have family and connections.
It is the continental europeans you should your worry about. They really hate US (except New Europe and Northern Europe). Really, I have seen it. Next time euros make a mess (they have a habit) there is a shield near Dover and the free world will be defended. Target acquisition report green.
You have to take me at my word. I'm not ubber or buber or a sock at all.Quote:

It would help if the Jews weren't behaving like Nazis themselves in Palestine.
...and the Hundred Years War? The Battle of Telamon? The opening scene out of 2001?
Turning remembrance into a kind of highly selective condescending quasi-religious death-cult is hardly desirable, and very eurocentric, and self indulgent.
If it is wrong for this cafe to have nazi memorabilia, is it wrong for the IDF to copy a nazi party advert for support?
