N Korea is next

yeah, the answer to all questions when you're not willing to see things from different points of view....very good, impressive :rolleyes:

i'm sorry, but if you don't have anything useful to say, then it's more wise to say nothing at all.
which is the main reason i didn't respond in this thread anymore.

OK let me rephrase that then. I said "shit happens", meaning we're human and can make mistakes.


Since you don't like that, how about: We are without fault. We never make mistakes. We are correct. You are wrong. Is that better now? :rolleyes:
 
apparently some people here are under the impression that the US saved the world from something during, among other wars, world war 1. in that war we helped the biggest of the big european imperialist powers (britain) and co. defeat the newly organized, but up and coming european imperialist power (germany) and co. when the dust settled it turned out that we had saved the world for england to finally control half of africa. and the resulting "peace" was so bad that it set the stage for world war 2.
 
funny thing, Africa. Let the Brits run it & there is food galore. have some egomaniac come along & take it back, for the natives, and there's starvation. makes ya wonder
 
Nice to know my country is well and truly alone on this one.

*walks off to re-think the concept of "ally"*
 
george bush has already rethought the concept of ally for us: "if you arent with us, you're against us." so now one has to either be an ally or an enemy.

Get your facts straight buckwheat. The British weren't responsible for apartheit. South Africa got independence and after that apartheit started. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Actually wasn't it the Dutch settlers(afrikaaners) ,that were resposible for Aparteid (MOOT information at best)
 
No! The Dutch settled the land, but so did the French, Germans, and a shit load of other European countries. Then Britain annexed the place to steal the gold and diamonds, and after a few decades South Africa gained independence. By that time people intermarried so much, you were white or you were not. The whites then started torturing the blacks and set up the apartheit regime.


And no, before you ask, I did not torure blacks. :p
 
regardless of the apartheid question, i'm not sure that "food galore" is a very accurate description of africa under british rule.

Ohhhh, and i'm sure they wanted their independence because of all the food they got from the british :rolleyes:

And don't call me buckwheat again.
 
Let's see...After the Boer war, where the Brits got kicked out of South Africa, most of the arable land got *ahem* annexed by the white settlers...as well as the gold and diamond mines. About the only thing good to come out of the proceeding years was a stable government. Unfortunately, that stable government used some pretty atrocious tactics to stay in power.

This one is for both Luis and Jerrek. Buckwheat, one of the Little Rascals, was a much beloved character. I'm pretty sure that Jerrek used that name as a term of endearment, though. Let's keep the personal attacks to a minimum, shall we?
 
Britain ruled South Africa a long time ago. Long after they were gone there were still lots of food and the whites were happy. Under British rule, there was no apartheit. Apartheit didn't start until a while after the British left. Mainly a ploy for the whites to make themselves happy and keep themselves in power.

Oh and buckwheat is just my way of addressing people these days... I kinda find it cool. It isn't a personal attack at all, ok? :rolleyes:
 
I don't care if you don't use buckwheat as a personal attack :rolleyes:

You were the one that took nazi as offensive even thou i did mean it more like a joke. :rolleyes:
 
If you mean it in the context of the Little Rascals, it is Buck"Wheat" ... two words. Its a name and a nickname conjunction... not merely the grain.

I probably started the whole mess by calling him 'sunshine' way back in the past. Now its an ingrained reflex ... doh.
