Falkland Islanders to hold referendum over sovereignty

[Sava]

So you admit British are child molesters?

It takes some real retardation to think that the British Empire was the "least brutal" colonial power; they were too busy stealing land, pushing drugs, and inventing concentration camps to have time to be nice.

That's right, just take a deep breath and point at the places on the doll.

I would go with the Portuguese as the most benevolent colonial power, at least post-Brazil (I have no idea about before that).

[Sava]

Don't blame me. It's geography.

Britain > Spain at: genocide, ethnic cleansing.

You tool. Out of all the colonial powers, Britain was almost certainly the least brutal. Did a British guy touch you as a child or something?

britain was/is pretty poor at everything
disease did most of the work
they were just lucky that nobody could be arsed to build boats to get to their stupid little island

You shut your whore mouth, Sava.

True.

Spain > Britain at: rape.

Spaniards were just better at rape

Indigenous populations of the Americas (as estimated percentage of total country's population)

United States

Indigenous = 0.9%
Indigenous + part indigenous = 1.7%

Argentina

Indigenous = 1%
Indigenous + part indigenous = 57%

That's because they didn't work the males to death and rape the females for recreation. Instead, unlike the majority of former Spanish conquests, you have intact, active functioning communities of Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Aroostook Band of Micmacs (most Micmacs are located in New Brunswick and Quebec) Houlton Band of Maliseet (also primarily Canuck), Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Mashpee Wampanoag, Aquinnah Wampanoag and Narragansett.

Wanna keep talking out your ass?

Native population in the United States = 5,220,579 (2010)

Native population in Mexico = 9,854,301 (2000)

I honestly don't understand why you feel the need to downplay the genocidal abilities of the British and their American successors. You seem like the type of ******* who would actually be proud that his ancestors were much better colonialists/land thieves than the Spanish.

Micmacs

MicMac paddywhack give a dog a bone

[MichaeltheGreat]

Why don't you? You're the one turning your back on core American values, and your views on the Falklands suggest you might actually appreciate a might-makes-right, Hobbesian ****hole like Somalia.

Been there, done that.

Funny that, because the English, while they were here, didn't manage to exterminate a whole lot of Indians.

They certainly did better than the Spanish. Haven't noticed a lot of mestizos running around New England.
