as I stated again...hiding behind your flawed intellectualism. You are a bigot.you cannot execute a race or group, or send them to prison. It is individuals who must be held accountable for their crimes. So please, no more "I'm white therefore I'm guilty" sentiments. They're baloney and playing right into the hands of the CRE and their creed that anything that keeps hatred on the boil is okay by them. They have no interest in ending racial dissent any more than dentists have an interest in eradicating tooth decay.
The term Wog as used by you is derogatory...your pretense that western society is superior to all else is false.
Yes. Anything you say, dear boy. Now do show some concern for other members of the Usenet community, regardless of their race, which I can see is causing you such anguish and hand-wringing by your penchant for being offended on behalf of others, by learning to trim. Merely appending your childish insults at the end of my whibble without bothering to trim a single word is most inconsiderate.
What makes England great was its relentless ambition to conquer the world by force or by economics, but like all failed empires it withered and died...
Ooo -- I feel a repost coming on:
A Life of Brianiy
The scene is a rowdy meeting of the Popular Indian Liberation Front. Delhi. 1945.
REBEL: What have the British ever done for us?
(Chorus of shouts of agreement. The mood of the crowd is ugly. They're baying for English blood. But a lone, doubting voice pipes up:)
1ST DOUBTER: We've got fresh, running water in most cities...
REBEL: Yeah -- okay... Okay. But apart from fresh,
running water, what have the British ever done
for us?2ND DOUBTER: And they built the railway network.
REBEL: But apart from fresh water, a railway network,
what have the British ever done for us?3RD DOUBTER: Good roads.
REBEL: (getting exasperated) Yes! But apart from fresh
water--4TH DOUBTER: Sewage treatment plants...
REBEL: But apart from fresh water, the railway network,
good roads, sewage treatment plants, what have
the British ever done for us?The scene continues in this vein for several minutes until the REBEL is almost exploding in anger:
REBEL: Yes! But apart from fresh water; the railway
network; sewage treatment plants; breaking the
power of the maharajahs thus ending centuries of
civil war that caused the deaths of untold
millions of Indians; apart from a common
language; a workable system of law; good
policing; the provision of primary education; the
building of universities, hospitals and child
welfare clinics; the introduction of modern
farming practices and real progress towards the
ending of famine; the establishment of a civil
service; building the telephone network, WHAT
HAVE THE BRITISH EVER DONE FOR US?-- James Follett. "It's an uncomfortable fact that Western culture is superior and the most sought after. It is the only culture that is self-questioning and constantly reforming because it doesn't believe it is superior. And that's what makes it superior." .
