Pearl Harbor

My mate who is Italian and has a widespread family back in Italy tells me that many want OUT..

We were in Cyprus a couple of years ago and went for a meal.  The owner of the restaurant said something against the eu and realised that we were sympathetic.  He went on a rant about money being taken from their bank accounts etc.

New people would come into the restaurant and he would greet them quietly and politely, then dash back to our table and sit down for another moan.  It was quite funny.

This is so true - I have NO intention of feeling guilty about what happened 200 years ago, nor even 100. As for blacks claiming they should receive reparations for ancient wrongs - where's my money for what the Romans, the Vikings, the Normans did to my ancestors? Where's my money for the raids over the border by Scottish reivers?

yes if their ancestors were as bright as these deluded souls seem to think they are
then they would have refused to breed, imagine breeding to see your baby in chains
they were not very bright then and sure are numb nuts today

[biglouis]

Better not let the BLM mob thought police hear you saying that crabby or they would lynch you!

[crabbyob]

Ive been lynched before...lol.... what does lynched mean? is it like being taken for lunch 

[Michael Rolls]

Not really - but then, I'm sure you know that
Mike

[crabbyob]

yes mate... lynched is a strange word, i always associate with negro's being hung by a bunch of ignorant red necks...
it gives Sucre to the BLM folks
if it had happened to my people I too would be wanting to get some sort of revenge..
but
i doubt many were lynched in our country, so why are our teams 'taking the knee' [size=100%] [/size]

virtue signalling - pointless virtue signalling

Ah yes, Candidate Biden. He's calling himself president elect!

Why would you say that? It's the normal term for for the person who won the election during the wait for inauguration.. He's not calling himself it, he IS it..

[Michael Rolls]

Quite right

[Cassandra]

American brothers Charles Lynch (1736–1796) and William Lynch (1742–1820) were responsible for the eponymous phrase referring to the extralegal hanging of Afro American slaves during their lifetimes. The practice is of course still prevalent in both African and South American states to this day and indeed many other parts of the supposed ‘civilised’ world.

Thanks, sir. Although I have been familiar with the phrase and the concept for many years, I had never before heard of the origin
