Stupid fucker thinks that the slaves would still have been freed in the British Empire if they'd retained the Americas. LOL...
Here's a clue, fucktwat: The cotton grown in the South would have meant a considerable constituency for slavery would have existed in England, namely all the textile interests. When they did away with it, the Caribbean slavery was on its way out, economically--So, it was easy to do. The cotton textile industry would have actually given slavery a fresh breath of air, and a bunch of people interested in perpetuating it. Odds of Merry Olde England freeing slaves, when so many fortunes depended on the availability of cheap cotton? Nil. If anything, his fantasy would lead to longer, more widespread slavery. Some textile mill owner would have had William Wilberforce knocked over the head in an alley somewhere. These dimwits never think past the first-order effects of their little fantasies. |

If it had been independently published work documenting the scarcity of combs and hairbrushes following the American Revolution, and the subsequent banishment of the remaining hair grooming implements to Oklahoma when Jackson marched the indians out there, I could fault him for not figuring it out. But, this was a paper published in Science, which one would expect to be sufficiently peer-reviewed by people who can math. Dylan can't math .. or grow facial hair. If Dylan is actually a chick [you never can tell with these names], then I offer her my heartfelt apology, because it's widely known that chicks can't math and would only be plagued by sparse patches of facial hair because of some medical condition. |

I wonder if he was aware that most of the plains Indians tribes were nomadic and the US wiped out a lot of them and put the rest on reserves?

In the UK, the Conservative government decided it wanted a carbon tax. So there was a carbon tax. Just like that. Passing big, necessary legislation — in this case, legislation that's literally necessary to save the planet — is a whole lot easier with parliaments than presidential systems.

A liberal arguing that Imperialism was awesome? I love it. View Quote Eh, not even amusing in an ironic sort of way. Once you get past the pretty trimmings of "tolerance" and "charity", liberals can't wrap their lips around the steely phallus of governmental force fast enough. Doesn't really matter who it is, as long as they promise "progress" and want to kill anyone who stands in the way. |

What an absolute retard. Monarchies are better, huh? Yeah. This guy needs to stay in England. He seems to blow past the French and Indian Wars. This is what you get when kids go to get schooled. Article is major troll bait for liberals and socialists. View Quote The case for a mixed government with a regal head rather than a republican one can very well be made. A monarchy of that sort may well be preferable, provided the monarch's powers were roughly analogous to those of the President, and not virtually nil by law or in practice. That's certainly not enough of a reason, though, to consider the revolution a mistake. But the article's author's reasons for preferring monarchy are . Figurehead "rule" is a sort of perversion and negation of the concept. The rest of his case against the revolution is also . Basically, his argument, which may not have as much validity as he seems to think, is that the Leftist ideal would be closer to realization here had there been no revolution. He has no love for any of the ideals upon which not only this country, but really contemporary British constitutionalism, were based. |
|
He also says to "open the borders to solve the immigration crisis", and to, of course abolish the Constitution.
How come he isn`t in the nervous hospital, doesn`t anybody love him? |

Yep, America would have a better system of government. We wouldn't have all these pesky "rights" that get in the way of massive collective free stuff!

Okay... Why do liberals and black people stick around if they hate this country so much? We're not really forcing them to stay, right? Because liberal identity involves hating themselves. They need the hate in order to justify their existence. Yes. They personify that hate in many things. They feel self righteousness by standing 'against' those things. Their world view depends on having bogeymen, so that they can be heroes. They're really just tilting at windmills. |

Quoted: Quoted: A liberal arguing that Imperialism was awesome? I love it. Mmmm sweet sweet colonialism. Because we know that no other parts of the British Empire ever, legally or extra-legally, sought and obtained independence or exit from the Westminster System over the issue of being allowed to disenfranchise black people, right? |

I think he was just fantasizing about being impressed into the British Navy and all those traditions he loves.
