It was more the use of language i found unfavourable.

[Stryke 9]

It was intentional.

[Zeronet]

Well, i doubt it was a mistake.

[Bobboau]

name one contry that doesn't have a less than sterling history.

[Stryke 9]

South Africa, post-apartheid.

there's a point there...

Your eliminating part of its history, which invalidates the whole point.

[Bobboau]

ya, that's like saying America, post Iraq

[Stryke 9]

No, it's not. We're talking government, not fucking geographic location. Britain's government is effectively the same system as it has been for centuries. South Africa's is emphatically not.

"Ooh! This place is evil! 400 years ago, there was a nasty dictator in charge in this general area and he banned the toothbrush on penalty of death! Sure, it's a libertarian democracy where all everyone does is pick flowers and sing little songs nowadays, but that's besides the point!"

Er... Stryke, you do realise you're talking bollocks, right? I mean, usually your arguments are intelligent and justified if contraversial, but your last few post here have just been plain stupid. This is just an impartial observation BTW, I'm not angling for a flame war. Hopefully you're not losing your powers like Zylon has.

I mean, the english thing. I realise that Mel Gibson has made a lot of films featuring the Evil English™ in recent years, but there are some of us who aren't wankers these days. David Beckham is of course an exception.

Lastly, I've got to question the wisdom of telling people to 'open your eyes and aknowledge your status as a genocidal wanker along with all your fellow countrymen'. Of course I know that you don't give a flying fuck about popularity, especially as far as this lot goes, but come on - people haven't come to HLP to be asked to admit to being a wanker

Stryke's right in a way though, we English were wankers and that's the reason why we had such a huge empire. As far as I recall, we were pretty much the biggest exploiters of the slave trade.

I could write more things we've done bad in the past but I'm a lazy, lazy man. Still, a bad history is better than no history.

[Zeronet]

and the Americans never did anything bad ever did they

[diamondgeezer]

So you and I are wankers because of the events of two hundred years ago, 01010? You know, plenty of Americans complain that people stereotype them based on their government's foreign policy. Governments past and/or present do not represent the wanker or non-wankerness of a country's people.

Now, I'm wondering if Petrarch will concede to being a northern wanker, cos that's something entirely different

Ah, see, now this what Stryke seems to be arguing about - he says everyone needs to admit to being a wanker from a nation of wankers unless you're South African. He reckons that Americans are just as much wankers as the rest of the world. Might just be best to call yourself a wanker and keep him happy

Ah see but I never said that, I said we WERE wankers. However I'd fully own up to being one today. In the literal sense at least.

Even fat women need love, they just have to pay for it.
