The only reason any one asks the British or Americans to pay reparations is because these groups are collectively the only genuinely moral people on earth. They might actaully get money.
All this is kind of how people can rip on Christians knowing that the Christians won’t strap on a vest and walk into a daycare center or market square.
America and Britain can and do rule the world. Its our mutual ‘Manifest Destiny’.[/quote]
You do realise these guys that want reparations are American?
Yeh its true America and Britain do rule the world well actually its just America but Britain are the predecessors.
Something I think you need to consider Rogers is the ideological agenda of the BBC. They are called the british Betrayal Corporation for good reason, this is a good example of it. Yes the country has done things in it’s history that in our modern world view are terrible but there have also been many positive things.
The BBC is quite happy to give a wind up to bitches like Lixy by propagandising and playing to their biases. Just look at the rant that Lixy was able to go off on about the evil British on the issue of slavery. But think about what I posted. The British got into the slave trade in 1562 and were out of it by 1833. a period of less than 300 years. The Muslims who the British bought their slaves from got into the slave trade when Mohammad took his first slaves. Saudi Arabia the birthplace of Islam became the last country in the world to officially outlaw slavery in 1960 and there is some suspician that even after that it didn’t totally go away there.
There is no reason why a muslim like Lixy should even think to go on a tirade about how evil the British are for buying slaves off of muslim slave traders when muslims were the very worst offenders.
The BBC don’t mention the fact that the abolitionist movement started in Britain and it was the British who used their considerable influence to make it into law. The whole reason why we have this “modern” world view that slavery is immoral is because of the abolitionist movement that began Christians in the 18th century Britain. The BBC doesn’t bring that to the discussion because it gives the perspective that maybe the British and Christians aren’t quite so bad as the BBC wishes to portray them.
Another important bit of history to know about the British empire is how the British came to be in control of some of their empire. A lot of the empire were places that had been devastated by the jihad. What the British did was go in a pick up the pieces. India is a prime example of that. Centuries of muslim onslaught had left the Indians devastated. Africa is another place where the jihad had destroyed ancient civilizations.
ie The Ethiopians had a prospering advanced civilization. The biblical story of the Queen of Sheeba was about one of their rulers. The Ethiopian civilization was a peaceful community of prospering Coptic Christians for 800 years until the muslims unleashed their jihad on them. Islam is the reason why Ethiopia is the way it is today.
So that is another reason why a muslim like Lixy should shut the fuck up about the British and their former empire. It is because of his people that a lot of these civilizations have been devastated and left open to exploitation by others.
But one last thing: No matter how you slice it, nobody has ever senselessly slaughtered innocent non-combative men, women and children in the magnitude of, and with the cruelty and perverted joy of, Uncle Adolf and my grandad’s buddies.
If your killjoy country and it’s allies hadn’t stopped us, why, we’d have eliminated the Jewish people from the face of the earth! Nothing would have rivaled our inhumanity!
No way YOU can claim to come from such superior stock or boast of such a glorious history!
Oh, and while I’m at it, nobody makes a lampshade like we Austrians either!
Wow. You really need to develop a sense of how horrible what your country did really was. You clearly have a problem with denial…
I’m done here, too.
It just concerns me that you seem to have inherited your grandad’s lack of human compassion. [/quote]
