I don't agree with the poster but you stole India. India was never a part of British empire until you went there and plundered.

India didn’t exist before the British Empire took over the Indian Subcontinent. It was several rival kingdoms.

Agree with the rest of what you said but “we” didn’t do anything. Everyone involved has been long dead.

Even I wasn’t born when Britain gave India independence.

Well your quote on "with just 30000 people" sounded like you were trying to justify what the British did back then. Again I never blamed anyone here. I just said that India was not a part of British empire until they went there and looted and plundered everything.

Where would Liz have got all her jewellery otherwise ?

The past is littered with wrongdoings on a grand scale from many countries. Whilst we keep looking back we are failing to move forward.
The blame game never seems to solve any problems, only inflame them.
I’m not confident of anything changing in the near future and see only more threats and aggression all over the globe in years to come.

Wish it was still the 90’s. Think it’s the only decade I wasn’t worried about a fucking thing. Even City being shite didn’t bother me!

I totally understand what you are saying and believe me as an Indian I was very upset at India abstaining. But I can understand now why they did even though the explanation for the vote did seem like India were actually condemning.

Can you name me any parts of any empire that became part of that empire without force?

It started with the East India Company before Britain existed.

Correct but they were English and they were headquartered in London back then.

My unpopular opinion:

-Russia has withheld the strongest of its military might on the chance that NATO/US/EU/Somebody joins in on Ukraine's side and needs to be dealt with
-Russia has not invaded full scale regardless of what the press keeps telling me
-Nobody is serious about dealing with Putin/Russia so long as they keep buying Russian fuel
-As fuel prices soar, Putin/Russia literally grow richer as a result of this incursion
-Sanctions will do SFA other than strengthen Sino-Russian cooperation
-A serious attempt to militarily defend Ukraine by any other state would necessarily involve defence/counterattacks/attacks on the Russian military and therefore: is an invitation for Russia to attack the country who attacks their forces.
-fucking nobody is going to do that
-therefore: negotiated surrender and acceding to Russian terms is the only outcome.

I don't like it. But I can't see it another way. Saving the Ukrainian people's lives is my most favored outcome at this point and I can't see this go any "better" way for them.

Fuckin hell another one. Canadian this time.

Isn't there a moose nearby that needs a shag.

Just because others did it doesn't mean it was okay for the Brits to do it. Also, the Things the British did was more severe and Indians still feel the effects to this day with widespread poverty. India was the second biggest economy in the world before English came in.

Baseless argument? He wrote a 5000 word essay about it last year you ignorant twatbanana.

Every time you open your mouth, you take away any doubt whatsoever that you haven’t got the faintest clue what you’re talking about.

You literally have Putin monologuing his plans for world domination and you still get people demanding how we know this.
