    Would be a bit boring, seeing as there was very little trade with the natives and vast lands of nothingness.

    Although it sounds contradictory didn't the aboriginal people 'discover' Australia about 30, 000 years ago?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Yeah, but when we say "discovered", we mean discovered by Europeans. Although native people indeed have "discovered" those lands a long time ago, when those lands were discovered by Europeans, it meant end of their isolation and inclusion in global affairs...

    Yes, he did. Portugal had a great history of inserting spies everywhere in this time.
