Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

At least he's kinder than our government is.

 

What's really amazing is that the Brits managed to hold on to their empire so that there was only one rebel in the 1700's and NONE at all in the 1800's. It took another 150 years for the break up.

 

I wonder how many of those others were armed.

That's a lot of knocker!

 

Most of those places are far better off than they would have been
had the Brits not been there. The Brits brought civilization to a
lot of very backward places. And they voluntarily left most of
those places.

 

You have some funny ideas about colonialism and the effects on the indigenous people and their cultures. Your definition of far better off is based on your perspective, not theirs.

 

Living with poverty and violence is not a good thing even if
you're entertained by "indigenous cultures".

 

Dungeon material here...

 

It's his Birthday.Let the old Rooster crow He's feeling cheeky today!!
I was waiting for one of yoots ,from there to chime in! I don't know anything about that

It's just history, not politics.

 

That's a whole different cup of tea, definitely political.
