Indeed and while I was digging a hole as you claim you were turning a mound into a mountain. I had no intention offense and my poor choice of wording has definitely made my statement misinterprited but so far I've been speaking the truth, should you not believe it, well I have nothing more to add.
OK, you misinterprited my statement and instead of attempting to find out what I meant you went into a spiel about respecting history. Now that I have spelled out to you what I did instead of apologising or even aknowledging and responding to my reasoning you dismiss it and all but call me an ignorant idiot.Oh, and if you want to call out me behaviour do it explicitely, not out the side of your mouth.
Well considering I have no intention of being in a pub I have no fear of it. You seem to be forgetting that this is the internet, anonyminity makes your threats less than effective, unless you are an obsessive psycho killer there is little chance you will find the time nor inclination to track me down and knock my teeth out.You are, I assume, English as am I, but you need to gain some perspective on our history if you want to avoid having your teeth knocked out in a pub brawl.
Oh and I am fully aware of my history, the atrocities of the east india company, the exploitation during the potato blight, the slave/cotton/beads and firearms trade triangle, just because I dont find the british empire the scum of the earth doesnt mean I dont aknowledge their actions. The knowledge doesnt diminish my admiration of it no more than knowing they enslaved 3/4ths of a continent deminishes my admiration of ancient Rome.Quite, i'm pretty sure they would also say something about you a british person speaking for them as you have.Ah you know what? The Irish can speak for themselves.
I have no intention of antagonising you or the irish and I would rather be your friend but I have to protest your treatment of this.
