@Builder,
"Only a classist arsehole could be proud of this kind of history. yaswas. "
I see I have to repeat myself, idiot.
I'll write this slowly so that even you can understand, OK?
Where..... did ......I ...... once .......intimate ....... that ....... I ....... was ....... in .....the .......slightest ....... bit ........ proud ....... in .......my .......previous ...... posts ........ on ........this ........ thread?
I was stating fact.
The subject of the thread was all about conquering. I stated that we were not the only Europeans at it, back then.
I made the observation that we happened to be better at it for a while.
The fact that pointed me in that direction was that Britain grew to be in control of the biggest empire the world has ever seen.
You jumped in with a one word "bullshit" reply, and then came out with a silly ROFL comeback when I pointed you to an evidential source.
OK, tell me how I was wrong, and supply what you consider to be evidence to back it up.
If this was a thread asking my
views regarding the British Empire, you would have had every right to challenge me if I said that it was the best thing that ever happened to the world.
But it wasn't. It was a simple question asked as per the thread title, and people (especially Set) answered it in very good detail.
Carlos the troll jumped in after all that effort and just blindly stated that it was because of arrogance, and I challemged him on that.
You obviously have an axe to grind against the British and were rude in tesponse.
It is therefore not now my fault that you have failed to extradite yourself from this, and now look more silly than when you started.
I repeat. Not once did I express my views or feelings about the good, bad or indifferent points regarding the British Empire.
