No sensible king would bare his bottom to an angry commoner if said commoner were close enough to kiss his arse - not unless he had a very reliable guard which was *fully* in control. I don't think you quite get the idea of monarchy. It's all about imposing power on others - and they usually don't like it. And not all commoners count as peons or peasants - certainly they did not in England even when it was feudal (`thanks' to the Norman *******s). So I think he's right: you don't have what it takes to be a king. But please don't let that stop you - it'd be great! You'd be killed within the week; that's how kingship was passed down during the Dark Ages.

As I've explained elsewhere, I only bang on like this is response to ignorant, arrogant Yanks for the purposes of winding them up. It's a form of humour; I realise that most USAians are deficient in humour, so it's neccessary to point it out. Well, I find your attempts funny, and your brainwashed ignorance hilarious! Me. And I did win - you did fail to read it all, didn't you? You bet against yourself? What'd you wager? and I read it all. chuckle That's your excuse for doing nothing but posting dishonest and snide remarks that ignore all the relevant issues - mostly because you simply don't have the mental capacity for comprehending complex ideas, let alone writing them down. No, I'm just not a blowhard who "bangs on" because of some kind of inferiority issues about my country. cackle Bullseye! I have touched a raw nerve, haven't I? Not at all. I could care less what you have to say, you're just my toy for the moment. Keep on dancing. You Yanks are quite funny, aren't you? Yes. You get the idea that everyone in the world is jealous of your ******** country with its ingrained institutionalised racism (the USA was founded on the basis of whites lording it over the `lesser' races, of whom the blacks were to be slaves and the `Indians' were to be exterminated) and other social iniquity, its unjust laws, its corrupt government, its massive state-funded (by way of direct purchase and illegal subsidy) death-tech business, its unsustainable and illegally subsidised agriculture and business, its appalling environmental record (the USA is as bad at land desecration as the Warsaw Pact nations were, but they at least are cleaning up their mess now). It goes on like this. And oh! The ugliness of it all - ugly cities, ugly countryside. Ugh! No, it's just you who's jealous. Believe it or not, I've never wanted to live in the USA. I have relatives over there and - well, I know what it's like living in the USA for real and I do not find the prospect attractive. Yea, sure. That's why you go on and on about the US. Backwards, you say? Well, one of us lives in a free country with universal health care (compare the UK's success in dealing with AIDS to the dreadful mess in the USA, for example) and a sound welfare state that does the job properly. And also has an economy in roaringly good shape, gets on well with its neighbours, has low crime, safe streets, and so on. I said you were backwards, not your country. I'm not a limey generalizing scumfucc like yourself. Part of the reason the UK economy is doing so well is that the UK is one of the preferred destinations for Poles and other `new accession' EU nationals who want to earn some money. They come here, they work like, well, Poles, earn shed loads of money, and give us bloody good service. Big wins all round - well, hardly surprising what Poles tending to be well-educated, intelligent, sophisticated, and incredibly hard-working. We're not so paranoid about foreigners as you lot in the USA - did you know that the USA is losing business because of your paranoia about foreigners? I do know that quite a lot of academic conferences have had to be moved to venues outside the USA because of the trouble involved in actually getting permission to attend, and then being allowed in even when permission has been obtained. I'm a modern educated European - we've all given up on old-fashioned narrow-minded nationalism. We also know that Europe is the most socially advanced and civilised place on the planet. In terms of social issues, the USA is third world by comparison. *Yawn* -- -slunky |

There's nothing to stop electoral districts being rigged - and they are. The US system's rotten in fashions that were dealt with in the UK electoral system in the 19th century. We *used* to have the same problems here, but we got rid of them. Time the USA advanced to the 19th century, I reckon. every country gets the government they deserve, ah reckin. Ah reckin you know **** about the world. No-one deserves Pol Pot or Hitler or Stalin running things. ah reckin you know **** about living under a dictatorship. the people who acquiesce to it deserve it. the rest go underground and work and wait. when enough people decide they've had enough, they get rid of it. pretty much invariably. regrettably it takes a while, and the reason it takes a while is the people who deserve it. hitler acquired political power mostly by democratic means. translation: a lot of people voted for the asshole at a time when they didn't have to, and when they knew what he stood for. did they deserve him? most definitely. but it's not just his supporters who deserved him. everybody who turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to what was going on deserved him. everybody who could vote and didn't vote against him deserved him. everybody who said, "i don't get involved in politics" deserved him. everybody who said, "he's the chancellor, he must know what he's doing" deserved him. India did not *deserve* to be run by Britain, surely? I mean, that was just plain `us stealing their country from under their feet' (it didn't take a lot of actual fighting at all - mostly political manoeuvering and suchlike). short version: they let themselves get diddled out of autonomy. but the 13 colonies didn't deserve to be run by britain either, and so... The French didn't deserve the monarchy they had - so they threw it out, exactly. and then went through several worse governments. that's arguable. they went through some brutal upheaval at first, which was almost to be expected. They're on to their fifth republic at the moment - they're due for another revolution soon, so people think, but that's a bit of a problem because things are too stable for a revolution to actually happen. they have their problems as you have yours. they're bright people; they'll figure it out. All I have to do is take a short trip over the sea to the west and I can find any number of very highly educated people who can explain to me at very, very great length and in excruciating detail exactly how it is their nation didn't deserve the government that was imposed on it by *my* nation for several centuries (although to be completely fair, one should point out that it was the Norman *******s who started the business of controlling Ireland from England). you obfuscate. being conquered by a foreign power isn't the same as acquiescing to government. do the north koreans deserve "dear leader"? yes. did the iraqis deserve saddam? yes. did they deserve the american occupation of their country? no. [If you get into an argument with an Irishman about history, don't even think about questioning his assertions of fact: his education was better than yours, and he was paying attention. It's best to retire gracefully and admit defeat most of the time] The people who were living in the USA before the European invasion got a government imposed upon them that resulted in their cultures being utterly destroyed, their livihoods wiped out, their lands stolen, and most of the people being killed. And you say they deserved it... no, i don't. see above. Like all the black people forcibly transported to the USA deserved the government they got too - the one that insisted that they weren't fully human and had no right to freedom and could be owned as property. They deserved the horrors of slavery in the USA, did they? no. see above. i just don't think it's reasonable for them to expect the rest of us to get the government they deserve, and like it. I have no idea what this might mean. it's clear anough. don't complain, read it again. What we need is a world in which all governments act in a sane and reasonable fashion for the good of all. There's no way to do that when governments are selected to serve a national interest. That's why we need some sort of global government. i agree. |

Isn't this great?: "at a concert at the Hollywood bowl in July, Mar. Albarran- dressed in a tight fitting mod suit... asked audiences to idnationality: mexicans, preuvians, Salvadorians, Bolivians. Then, over the waves of partisan cheers, he announced that countries don't really exist; They are just illusions. When we started as a band, we talked about a need to find a national identity," he said. "Now I think that's stupidd, that it doesn't exist. We are trapped by those categories. It's like soccer fans who say 'i'm for Galaxy' or 'I'm for Chivas'. that's how the illusion begins...." -New York Times |

You have data to back up this claim? that we're living longer and in far greater numbers is self-evident. Is it really? Have you compared life expectancy in modern Russia with that which obtained during the later Soviet era? Or the predictions made about the UK population, based on the increasingly unhealthy lifestyles that people are living? There are many commentators who think that we've hit a peak and we're going to slip off it in terms of life expectancy. prognostication isn't my game. Erm, no: it's exactly what you were doing. Now I point out that you were talking ********, you claim that you weren't playing that game. you don't seem to know what the word means. it means to predict the future. Believe it or not, some of us have the intellectual capacity to spot this sort of dishonesty. All it takes is the ability to read substantial quantities of prose, remember the details, and to analyse them. seems to me the need for a basic vocabulary precedes all that. It's a common skill that any educated person can and does learn - unfortunately, you seem to have missed out on most of your education. What's entertaining is that you seem to think that everyone else in the world is as intellectually incapable as you are yourself. Look, you just happen to be a certain type of really annoying idiot that I happen to enjoy ripping the **** out of. I've been doing so for some time. I suppose it counts as trolling - but my motivation is not to disrupt, but to provide entertainment, and you're certainly helping me get some giggles. I hope others are amused too. something i notice repeatedly in these usenet discussions is that whenever someone starts going on about how amused they are and all the giggles they're having, what they're actually doing is getting annoyed. which is interesting in its anthropological way, but since there's nothing following this that's any more substantial than what comes before, i'll stop here. |
