Fallen Brits & Hateful Prose & Rhetoric

Legg inn av D. Spencer Hines » 11 aug 2007 19:48:54

Now, since Great Britain is no more -- having been supplanted by the United
States as Top Nation -- the Brits spend Great Time indulging in idle Pub
Rhetoric -- as hateful as they can dredge up -- about us Americans.

I can understand why you Brits are so sensitive about your past.
It was a sordid affair indeed. [sop]

Dreadfully so.

The gilded assassins and murderous popinjays of Perfidious Albion enabled
her to operate as a world power long after she became a small and
insignificant island off the Eastern coast of Europe.

This remains something to be proud of.

We glory in being hated in beautifully written prose by half the world,
as long as the people involved remember who taught them to write it
and who explained to them about freedom of speech.

Well I didn't mention Americans, and was actually thinking of the Arabs and
the Africans, but as you've obviously got some personal guilt issues here,
feel free to emote as necessary...

Nonsense.

I'm quite familiar with the origin of the term _Great Britain_.

It has an acquired meaning as well -- particularly during Britain's Age of
Empire.

Hines is ignorant of the origin of the term "Great Britain" -- the
isle -- as opposed to "Little Britain" -- Brittany --, and does not
realize that it has nothing to do with any putative nationalistic
feeling among the British. He is not alone.

This basic error _by Hines_ of equating "Great Britain" with another
"nation" was then pointed out.

Errant Twaddle.

I don't correct every error in the posts I reply to.

T'wasn't my error.

And who is the blatant liar, shown here by his own direct false statement?

Great Britain is not a nation, top or otherwise.
