Breaking News: 7.0 Earthquake in Haiti

[Grey Fox]

I can't believe a porkchop is calling us uncivilized.

The pot is calling the kettle black!

[Josephus]

Hasn't there been some semi-serious talk about Canada acquiring Turks & Caicos?

ABout twenty years ago...I'm still waiting.

[Caliga]

Hence "semi-serious".

I for one approve of the notion of a Canadian Empire. 

[Josephus]

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?

Our acting head of state, I mean. The one that cried during her heart warming television address.

Just read that before the quake Haiti had 2 fire stations in the entire country. Damn, that's poor.

Luckily they have all those hurricanes to put the fires out

Concrete doesn't burn much.

French West Africa is a mixed bag, but there are some decently governed countries there.  I would certainly take Ghana over Nigeria, or Senegal over Sierra Leone.

Apartheid was civilization, and Zimbabwe was plenty successful when it was Rhodesia.

At that rate, just about any colony was successful when it was still a colony.  We were talking about post-colonial successes here.

Post-colonial success is had by not having enough natives left to fuck up the country.

Post-modern success is had by not inviting enough third worlders into your country to fuck it up.

Any questions?

Ghana is another ex-British one btw.

Japan's doing pretty well, and it's almost completely natives.   

[garbon]

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

When it is constantly thrown in your face, you have little option.

[DisturbedPervert]

The Ainu would disagree

[DGuller]

And fuck you.

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.

Don't worry, we've noted a couple of more negatives.
