Queen's Platinum Jubilee

We already run the misfits out of our country. We sent 'em back to England.

Quite right. You were in real danger of getting an education

Or Canada (which didn't invade us to begin with), if you're actually up on your 1812 history.  There was the press gang thing, though.

We deal with English folks from time to time. I would not brag about education if I were you.

Are you proposing that war is a bad thing?

It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. - Robert E. Lee

Inherently yes, but it also depends on many factors, is it for a righteous cause? Perspective is the most significant factor, are you the invaders or being invaded…

The maiming, death, upheaval, destruction and such, all bad. However, removing dictators and their murderous, torturous  and corrupt regimes - good…

“Persian Gulf” war/Iraq, justified and righteous imo.

Afghanistan, far from. However, the profiteers have loved it.

No need it was a bit ambiguous but I did not infer mallace.  I'm kind of indifferent to the Royal Family as a percentage of the Commonwealth naturally are. On the one hand it is an objectionable concept. On the other at this phase of human development is it better to concentrate the royaly or allow it to spontaneously emerge due to private wranglings and wealth-accumulation. Amounts to about the same thing.

It's lucky the conversation wandered. RotBaron had his foot potentially dangling over my bear trap there    I do enjoy a good multi-stage trap.

Shida is not English anymore so his comments are irrelevant.

He is a EU regime minion.

So is stateless

I'll stop bragging about education if you stop bragging about ignorance.

Interesting. Encouraging actually.

Now that's a wise man. I will look further into him. There have been some notably wise and forward-thinking Americans. Make some more please.

He is a EU regime minion.

No I am stateless, and so unminionated. It's a privalage actually, to have a position to overview just how much cultural manipulation there is, how - in a non-racist stylee - histories have formed distinctive cultural 'beliefs' and especially the core human values we all share. Except Shuffler, he needs more education.

Almost spewed coffee reading this. 

[Shuffler]

I have yet to brag about the English.... so no problem here.

[zack1234]

Shida has a point about colonials apparent pride in their anger at the printed word.

Democracy without opening a book.

Then again the biggest Democracy in the world is India where the majority cannot read

I am reading “beginnings of the Cold War “ by Martin F Herz born in New York

Book made from paper with words in it, not about Fantastic heroes.

So why do you people not read any more? Chemtrails or 5G?

[Eagler]

Does reading the nonsense here count as reading?

An ignorant American wants to know

We used to blame it on inbreeding but today it's just greed and stupidity
