    Man. With the amount of noise Sth Africans make I thought there would have been more of them on this site.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Hey, I take offence to that
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    So you were born at the top of the ugly tree, fell down hitting every branch on the way before falling into the fucked-up river and being bashed with the stupid rocks. Not only that but you were lucky enough to be dragged out the water and beaten with the shit bush.

    Don't hold back, Sniper; tell us what you really think.
    But to paraphrase, you think that Liz Shaw (and/or maybe Liz*Shaw) is really ugly? :spudwhat:
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Actually, if the Real Liz Shaw(TM) is on KB, my bet is on liz_shaw owing to more "evidence" being presented.
    Motorbike Camping for the win!

    Being schooled at a uglywood school sitting at a uglywood desk, writing on uglywood paper. Later in life working at a uglywood saw mill.

    What I would like to know is why you're proud to fly a flag that stands (stood) for slavery, and lack of human rights.

    Or maybe it's the fact that the Confederates were responsible for over 300,000 US lives being lost.

    Ya know, all those great American traditions...

    Technically (rash though I am correcting a Texan about the War Betwixt the States), they were not "rebels". They were secessionists.The Confederate States position was that each of the constituent states had the right, at any time, to secede from the Union. Having done so, they were of course no longer part of the "United States" and could not be rebels. It was the Yankees who called them rebels. And, the Yankees won, and of course the winner always gets to write the history books.

    Some might also think that Messrs Lincoln and Seward had somewhat to do with the 300000 Unionist lives lost (not to mention the half million or so Confederate deaths, military and cvilian); or the sacking and plundering of the South

    And, if you want some real examples of slavery and lack of human rights , google on "Pinkerton AND Homestead". Or, for that matter "Waterfront Strike 1951".

    The Southern slave owner had at least a financial incentive to see that his slaves were kept alive and healthy. It cost him money to replace them. The bourgois capitalist had no incentive to keep his proletarian slaves alive. It was to his advantage to work them literally to death, whilst starving them, and their wives and children on less than subsistance wages. The Walmart chain today carries on this great tradition.

    I love it when you talk in communist terms

    I suppose you're just playing debbil's advocate though.
