Why don't you go and talk bollocks with him for a while?
You should stop your use of British colloquialisms. Many in the U.S. might not know what "bollocks" is/are.
Anyway, you should not endeavor to correct Setanta in anything, since his intellect, in my opinion, is greater than yours. Since you have exhibited a great (false, in my opinion) pride in the British as a people, a history, and an island nation, you seem to have no shame to throw adhominems at the Irish nation for their involvement, possibly, with ex-Nazis. I am sure that any ex-Nazis were not clicking their heels, so to speak, after living in Ireland. So, I have to question your ability to temper justice with mercy, so to speak. Should ex-Nazis just roam the Earth? Sounds like, in my opinion, the same mentality of the anti-Semites that enjoyed the image of the "wandering Jew"?
How did you manage to ignore the British history of tormenting their colonies, and the people in it, for centuries, yet what Israel is involved in is so abhorrent to you? You do know of the number of dead that building railroads in India incurred. But you can be dismissive of that? You play by a double standard, in my opinion. Israel is always wrong in their handling of the Palestineans, the British, well, were just superior, so they had every right, I guess, to treat the Third World with contempt.
You are laughable, if it wasn't for the fact that you are so intrusive in a forum that basically is inhabited by North Americans. And, notice that many non-North Americans are quite polite, even when someone does not agree with them. Amazing how Brits are so self-rightous in their overbearing behavior. Possibly because a Brit can never be wrong, I guess.
But, as long as you insist in believing you are of equal intellect than those that truly have a superior intellect, I think you should be reminded of it. Perhaps, one day you will see the light, and learn your place on the great Anglo-Irish bellcurve. I do believe though that you are not educated formally past the 12 grade, if I was to guess.
Toodle-loo Izzytheleprechaun.
