The Great British Empire.

Started by finti36 pages

What do these native americans say about British rule? I am sure that you have had many detailed discussions about it.
mainly that the white man came and took thier land and their way
We are talking about British rule, correct? Northern Island is the part under British rule.
and Ireland was, just as India was, Usa was, Sout Africa was, Australia was and so on

I have spoken to Irish people,
oh yeah they have a long lost love for mainly English 🙄

Well, they have me as a friend... so they can't think that we're such a bad bunch.. (as you portray). It is interesting how the people you've spoken to seem to be anti-empire and the people I speak with are undoubtedly pro-empire. 🙄

We're going to reach a deadlock in this discussion if we have such contrasting views and both have evidence to support each of our views.

Be right back, I need some tea.

How is tea 'sissy'?! It is a hot beverage...??!
I am saying that the Irish person I spoke to didn't have a problem with British rule.
I have told you time and time again... we didn't just collect the raw materials!
I am satill angry about your rude comments about tea! 😠

Sissy tea = herbal tea/fusions... That, I grant you.

Really? I didn't realise it was seen that way... to me, it is just a drink.
No, I don't have 'pretty' tea cups... 😠
I have a Winston Churchill cup with this quote inside-
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
I can't believe that it's seen as a gay drink. Are you being serious? A gay drink over here would be Herbal/fruit tea....

We have proper tea cups... but that doesn't mean that they're gay... it means that we drink with class. 😉
Are you confusing properness with gayness? Or do you think it is just a cultural difference?

I take it you don't actually?
Oh and tea is pretty sissyish.

tea is tea
