Yeah, kinda like Zimbabwe, a success story of post-colonization development.  Or Rwanda.  Or South Africa with the Apartheid and the subsequent riot/massacres every few years.

I suppose Sudan should also be cited as an example, along with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Now, should we start talking about the Spanish Colonies?

British success stories are well known...so where are the French ones again? :unsure:

They have a LOT to do with that particular people. Which was the one used by the French to help in New Orleans. Remember how the things went with Katrina? One could hardly recognize the US there anymore.

Those people. Seriously? I can take a lot of shit on this board, but this sort of antiquated racism in a place of leisure? Scurry back to your den, please.  I'm a descendant of those people and the only negative I've noted in my life is having to put up with the bullshit of psuedo-scholars like yourself.

I think CAnada should get it. I mean, our Head of State is from there and it would make a nice little warm place to visit in the winter...our own little Cuba as it were.

The Queen is Haitian?

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

And you feel slighted, being related to them by blood?

You people are ridiculously race-conscious, for avowing your hatred of racism.  :lol:

Me, I suspect a more important component than race is actually a cretinous crushing creole culture.

Didn't the same thing happen to Portugal way back when.  I mean an Earthquake shoved the whole capital into the sea.

As for Haiti it's hard to build a nice country when the French periodically show up to extort or steal money from you.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Sir, yes sir!

You are wrong. I really don't give a flying fuck about 3rd world shitholes and the iliterate subhumans that inhabit those places.

British colonies became succesful countries only in the cases where they exterminated the local natives.
The spanish, the portuguese, and the french failed to do so in every single colony, so no success stories for them.

French colonies tend to be worse off than the colonies of any other country, mind you.  An uncivilized people cannot civilize.
Yeah, kinda like Zimbabwe, a success story of post-colonization development.  Or Rwanda.  Or South Africa with the Apartheid and the subsequent riot/massacres every few years.
Apartheid was civilization, and Zimbabwe was plenty successful when it was Rhodesia.
