?? how is she sposed to learn
I use a stun gun.
I agree.
But if we do, please make sure that the thread title doesn’t offend too many people.
Sh’up Bazza. Most of your threads are like guest stars in Baywatch. We’re good enough to jump in, pull them out of the water and give them the kiss of life.
We’ll be there, Bazza.
CARELORDS is a term i heard someone use the other day that i thought was gd, but I would also like it to include PC Principal from South Park cos he is lols (he is also krg)
You are a laugh a minute Bazza - I can write what the fuck I like and if it offends your sense of fairness and values, well you maybe need a few lessons in irony
You could write the new Nash Bridges and I wouldn’t watch it, you could write the next Roy of the Rovers and I wouldn’t read it, I am not arsed what you write as your patter is shite.
Sorry? Not sure I am fluent enough in fuckwit to get your point. …boom booom… Seriously, you dont have the wit or intellect to worry me. I just find it important to add to the weight of condemnation of your thinly veiled attempts to spread your rather ignorant agenda. Some on here defend this as ‘if you have met him, he is on a wind up’ - fair enough, I just don’t happen to believe that your ‘virtual bigotted and ignorant cunt’ online persona is one worth celebrating or making excuses for.
Whilst it’s pretty obvious to all that Baz is, in essence, a cunt, I believe his point about Cook being and explorer and no more than that a valid one.
If, however, you were to describe the “settlers” that followed as “invaders” then I can see some validity in that although the language is somewhat misleading.
Just saying.
For me, it’s more about a detached view of the situation. It could easily be argued in modern times that colonisation was effectively a slow means of invasion. The indigenous people of Tasmania were wiped out; that’s slightly more than an invasion. Some might call it genocide, and so it was all over the Americas. Civilisations that had stood for hundreds of years simply vanished, or at best, were made subservient to the colonising power.
The process of colonisation probably felt like an invasion to them.
I would add that whilst Cook may have been ‘under resourced’ to deliver and ‘invasion’ - it’s not such a stretch of the imagination, nor reason to conclude that his ‘discovery’ led to the the colonization by European settlers who were at best not exactly asking for an invitation… or being particularly friendly guests…
What about Crimea?
He wasn’t under resourced it was an exploration mission, hence the name, was the space shuttle an invading machine?
Invasion is different to colonization deary deary me.
How the hell could we send an invading force that far that long ago? Colonization was the only answer, ha ha invasion.
Ta Flute I know my history and politics ma gash.
not sure that alone does your ignoramous impression justice - we need a new level of ‘face palm’ to fully convey the extreme level of Barryfuckwittage.
You do understand endaeavour was named after the ship Cook took to Australia?
Probably not but I’ll like the explanation, this will be good.
For colonisation, read invasion. Establishing cultural and ethic dominance over the indigenous people of an area… doesn’t sound too far off invasion to me!
Not in the case of Captain Cook is doesn’t, how logistically could it be done with a few marines on board over a nation you haven’t yet discovered?
Son you invavde first then colonize, this isn’t difficult.
