Thread: The Re-Education of The Smeg

Our dear Smeggy needs to update himself with objective and real historiography. His notions of Eurocentric diffusionism is quaint at best. The lie and illusions that have bestowed upon a cultural identity is always amusing to observe. Less is how he appears to be 'anti-Thai" or his obsession to find the spirit and fancy to battle what is affectionately refered to as Thaiophile - the Smeg is clearly "anti" anything that is not European or off-white induced. What appears to be, within this forum of lovely diverse and varitable thought, are historic neanderthals as our Smeg whom sole subjective purpose is to perpetuate the same old line over and over and over again. Repeating, as is the rule within social science circles, and bringing attention to such the point until it becomes real and true. I have taken the time to list a variety of "developed" humans that might take task of your Eurocentric vision of historical content. I've done the research {for years} and please don't expect me to provide accomodating links - do your own search. Easy enough to do a basic Amazon search. And read, and read, and read. In the hopes of "re-educatiing" oneself and others......

Six years of the same old shit (I know of).
he always seems to be able to reel in one or two by spacing his presence.

Rural Surin,

What are you talking about? Me serious.

Sensing a vague feeling of deja vu.

I've read this tone before.

Can't quite put my finger on it.

Perhaps An Anomaly.

Yup. I have for a while had an itchy feeling I had seen this sort of pseudo-erudite knobishness before. AAnoying isn't it?

Sorry folks, just one of those weird days....

Yet another winning thread....

Arabist ! orientalism !

and to think these are the days when my biggest quandry is..what jocks to wear today, makes about as much sense to me

The wording in the OP is almost Palin-esque in its beauty... almost.
