I don't have strong feelings on the Boer War. The concentration camps was a nice touch but not enough to make me support the Brits.

The Afrikaaners are the single most unsympathetic people in the world.  Possibly except for Australians.

Not very fond of the Aztecs either.

The Boers, of course.  People trying to free themselves from Imperial rule deserve respect, no matter their reasons.

I find the Afrikaaner story as romantic and epic as say...the settlement of the New World.

I support the Boers.  Not the Gold grabbing Engrish.

And if they don't get it, they can always pass laws to enforce it.

This is like asking whether you support the Mahdi or Chinese Gordon.

Yi, do you think that if enough of us root for the Boers, they still might pull it out?

I don't even like the Brits that well, but the Boers were jerks.
