I don't want to waste any more time imagining your crap life.
The problem with my discussing topics with you is you have acquired a credibility gap, in that, in my opinion, you do not accept the intellectual superiority of Setanta. Now, if I think Setanta is intellectually superior to many a poster, how can I believe a poster is being intellectually honest, if the poster will not even accept Setanta's intellectual superiority?
And, telling me about how the Irish nation allowed ex-nazis to settle in Ireland is just making an adhominem. It has nothing to do with the intellectual superiority of a poster that happens to be of Irish descent.
Your being one of the few Brits on a forum, mainly inhabitated by North Americans makes me wonder why you don't spend more time at the pub engaging fellow Brits in great discussions? The point is Britain is only relevant on the world scene today because they managed to make their ex-colonies part of the Commonwealth. So, the exploitation of the colonies had a happy ending of sorts. So, Britain and her sycophantic Commonwealth can skip their merry way, but I will not accept the silliness that Britain today is anything but the country that gave its language to the world. My opinion of course.
P.S.: In my opinion, you are not Setanta's intellectual equal. Think of that as you are falling asleep tonight. Perhaps, it will then reach your unconscious in sleep, and in an epiphany you will awaken with the awareness that, "Setanta is my intellectual superior." Such honesty and humility would be very beneficial to you as a Brit, not to mention as a person, in my opinion.
