Using that analogy Britain has the right to steal back one-fifth of the world's land area.

Well, here in Canada, and from what I understand is also in the UK - there are taxes that apply to the Capital Gains made on those lands at the point of transaction (inheritance for example).
Is the basic principle that Scottish lands were annexed improperly/unfairly or not?
A simple yes or no will do
Sadly, they no longer have the testicular fortitude. C'est la vie.
Yeah, that's what General Galtieri said.
And General Washington.Yeah, that's what General Galtieri said.
And General Washington.
And General Collins.
And General Gandhi.
Amongst others.
Face it, Little England. You lost the Empire because you lost the brains and balls to hold it. You are the inadequate sons of great fathers.
Funny how they both kicked your a ss, enit?I'd like you to name an empire that lasted for eternity. (If you can).
George Washington was a crap military leader, by the way. And Gandhi was a terrorist.
And some of us marry each other.That doesn't follow. I know lots of white people who live on Indian land. I realise this is hard to understand when you've never been beyond the borders of Tunbridge Wells, but Indians and whites actually intermingle in the colonies. And some people even live on land they don't own.
After that crap with Scottish landowners, the Irish bluddy well should have, though.Why not? The Irish complained that the English stole vast tracts of Ireland from them, yet upon achieving independence, they didn't generally dispossess the English landowners.
ahhyuh.Your grasp of history is remarkably weak. And your ability to construct an argument is laughable.
That's ok. The Irish don't care what you think either. Kind of two-faced to accuse other people of doing what you'd been doing for many years before. Native North Americans should have been a lot more suspicious of your ilk. Hindsight is 20/20, though. On the other hand, quite a few aboriginals have managed to utilize your shifty methods and used them on you, which is cause for much squawking and flapping amongst you, and have maintained their pride in themselves and their accomplishments. You just can't beat their spirit, so get over it.I don't care what the Irish think. They stole British lands first.
Well because he's of the opinion that Britain "stole" Canada off the Native Americans, and he wants it returned to the Native Americams, that would mean the vast majority of Canadians - bar the Native Americans - being kicked out of Canada and sent back to their ancestral homelands.
You can't have it both ways. You can't complain that British settlers stole Canada off the Native Indians but, at the same time, still allow the descendants of those settlers to still live there.
It's just like the Americans complaining about the British presence in what became the USA. If they are so concerned by it why don't they leave the USA and give it all back to the Native Americans?
Got my vote.
Come get some then, Brit.Using that analogy Britain has the right to steal back one-fifth of the world's land area.
Anishinaabemowin (that'd be Ojibwe to most Canucks, and Chippewa to most Uhmarcans) has distinct similarities to Apache. Original "Canadians" came from a variety of places.I am afraid, Captain, those "Thin Red Lines" would be blood.
Speaking of Balaclava, the reserves in Canada, and American reservations both belong to Mother Russia, as the blood line can be easily traced to Siberia. Borsch anyone?
Oh, and our Inuit, just here a thousand years. They can be understood in northern Siberia. Goodbye Nunavut!
Like Eli Wallach said in The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, "If you gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk". John Wayne in True Grit, "Fill yer hand, you SOB". And I say, "Pitterpatter, let's git at er".Yeah, that's what General Galtieri said.
None have, which just goes to show that empire builders are too stupid to realize they are fighting a losing battle.I'd like you to name an empire that lasted for eternity. (If you can).
Irrelevant, right? I mean the USA isn't part of the UK, and Ghandi had a vastly more moral cause than just acquiring real estate and goodies.George Washington was a crap military leader, by the way. And Gandhi was a terrorist.

That's like saying "we had more shots on goal than you did."Not really. Don't forget that the Americans lost more battles than they won in the War of Independence. We kicked YOUR ****.

Final score is what counts.
You didn't really win, though, did you?
You only "won" because the American colonies were relatively unimportant to Great Britain and she had more pressing concerns than fighting a bunch of farmers with pitchforks - namely Old Boney's nefarious activities in Europe. So we just gave you your independence so we could deal with the more important matter of defeating Boney.
It's lucky for you that Boney did what he did. Or you would never have won the War of Independence.
Still, we came back in 1812 and kicked you arses in that war. We also did the White House good and proper.
Yet the USA is a Republic. That was some kicking, huh?Not really. Don't forget that the Americans lost more battles than they won in the War of Independence. We kicked YOUR ****.
Speaking of battles won, how is it the Yanks won five of six single-ship engagements in Mr. Madison's War?You didn't really win, though, did you?
