Are you serious?

If so, that kind of attitude is long out of date, sir.

The winking smiley indicates that my remark is entirely serious.

Ah, my mistake...

You see, a small bitmap image can render any peice of text ironic. Pardon me.

Many a true word said in jest.

Many but not all.

Perhaps I should qualify. When I said "Many a true word said in jest" I wanted to use a phrase that Scuzi would have extreme difficulty arguing against (its futile to argue against something that is believed to be common knowledge) whilst accusing him of using a veneer of sarcasm to air his true anti-British feelings. I am basing this upon experience of generally very pleasant Irish people I have met in the UK, although I would say this is mostly a Catholic thing.

Clearly either an attempt at irony or an attempt at selling a book using controversy tbh.

Oh dear. WHOOSH!
I choose to live in what is probably the most British town in the world. Of course I hate the Brits.

I'm sure that the call for air traffic controllers was high in your home town.

I didn't accuse you of hating Brits or Britain, merely holding anti-British feeling.

But before British even invented guns, they need gunpowder. And gunpowder isn't invented by british.

The 4 great inventions by the Chinese:

- Gunpowder
- Compass
- Paper
- Printing

^ Invented useful stuff, not stuffs used to kill. Gunpowder was used to celebrate their chinese new year, exploding those crackers.

They didn't invent any of those things, the only one that could possibly be attributed to them would be gunpowder but that is debatable. However, I totally agree with your argument.

As for that site - in the current climate our only response will have to be nukage (invented/discovered by eastern European Jews working for the US, IIRC

)

The only anti-British feeling I have is towards the government, they're a bunch of retards and I hate them. Apart from that I've no qualms. Anyhow, this thread isn't about me, it's about the Brits.

Scuzi you had the chance to get N Ireland from the British but the Proddies keep voting to stay with the British Union. You cant blame the British for not allowing the Republic to take charge of NI when people over there are actually standing in the way.

Scuzi · 31 Mar 2007 at 18:30

What the hell are you talking about? You all seem to think I'm some sort of hardcore Republican. You Brits have no sense of humour.

Keep the thread on topic please.

Can you link me to any evidence regarding the chinese not inventing any of those items? Those 4 inventions are known worldwide as the 4 great chinese inventions.

I am not British I'm simply responding to your comment that the British should 'give back' N Ireland

It was a joke. End of discussion. Back on topic.

The form of printing used today was invented in Germany. The compass was arguably also invented by Europeans. The earlist form of "paper" was papyrus invented by Ancient Egyptians

Anyone with half a brain could see that Scuzi was having a bit of fun, it seems the majority got it. Shame the rest of you didnt!
