Never send an Englishman to do a man's work? Michael Send a noteboard - 25/11/2010 09:06:22 PM
*goes back into his*

Damned English. You didn't think to build one of those in Scotland, did you? Imperialist pigs.

It was actually us that built it...


why have a dog and bark yourself?

Nope, never heard them say that.

It is true though, the reason the Empire ran smoothly was that you lot were excellent at doing the ruling class and coming up with demands, whilst Scottish mid level officers and engineers were excellent at coming up with the details to meet the demands.

North Korea attacks South Korea and no one mentions it? Camilla - 23/11/2010 10:56:03 AM 1661 Views
"Oh God, Oh God, we are all going to die?" Werthead - 23/11/2010 11:09:30 AM 1403 Views
Yup, but the day Beijing decides they're better off not intervening the Appeasers look very dumb. Joel - 23/11/2010 11:23:35 AM 1254 Views
The appeasers look very dumb at this point regardless. Tom - 23/11/2010 04:11:41 PM 1157 Views
yes, because we want to fight *ANOTHER* proxy war with china *NM* moondog - 23/11/2010 04:29:18 PM 622 Views
"Wanting" has nothing to do with it. There are few alternatives. Tom - 23/11/2010 04:50:02 PM 1304 Views
Honestly, it COULD go either way. Joel - 23/11/2010 05:14:18 PM 1448 Views
The fact that it could go either way is a testimony to the longevity of Chinese leaders. Tom - 23/11/2010 07:04:14 PM 1261 Views
Your thinking and mine are much alike here, I believe. Joel - 23/11/2010 07:32:17 PM 1345 Views
I think there's another prerequisite, namely, Taiwan. Vodalus - 25/11/2010 05:20:43 AM 1284 Views
China's relations with North Korea are also worsening, though. Werthead - 25/11/2010 05:48:01 PM 1633 Views
What Tom said. Joel - 23/11/2010 05:15:31 PM 1237 Views
I don't believe in striking first but, frankly, it's long been a moot point. Joel - 23/11/2010 05:09:49 PM 1295 Views
I figured someone else would post it *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/11/2010 11:16:44 AM 568 Views
You know I like to sleep in, remember? Joel - 23/11/2010 11:20:33 AM 1250 Views
Agreed Werthead - 23/11/2010 02:07:30 PM 1351 Views
I worry North Korea long ago decided to solve domestic problems with international aggression. Joel - 23/11/2010 02:26:36 PM 1285 Views

Careful; qualify all your generalizations and people (especially him) will think you're me. Joel - 25/11/2010 02:03:42 PM 1340 Views
Honestly, Kuke - 23/11/2010 02:36:13 PM 1163 Views
Nuke the fuckers and be done with it. And let China know it's their fault. *NM* Tom - 23/11/2010 02:58:56 PM 604 Views

OK, have had time to read it, and someone needs to fact check a very important part of that article. Joel - 23/11/2010 04:52:02 PM 1293 Views

The term "truce" used in a different Guardian article seems better. Joel - 23/11/2010 09:20:19 PM 1182 Views

Same reason we don't give all our allies (especially neighbors) our best hardware. Joel - 23/11/2010 07:43:54 PM 1260 Views
Actually, no, it looks like The Guardian is just schizoid on this subject. Joel - 23/11/2010 08:16:45 PM 1489 Views
This has been coming for a while but I hoped the West would step up and help out. *NM* Japhy - 23/11/2010 08:31:40 PM 664 Views
There's not going to be any all-out conflict Variant - 24/11/2010 12:56:44 AM 1467 Views
They're getting aid from South Korea now, and killing them anyway. Joel - 24/11/2010 01:20:33 AM 1379 Views
No kidding, that's been going on for quite some time. Variant - 24/11/2010 02:49:50 AM 1223 Views
That is the crux of it, I suppose. Joel - 24/11/2010 03:02:40 PM 1328 Views
~shrugs~ SK has lived with this a long time, and will continue to do so. Variant - 24/11/2010 10:26:44 PM 1289 Views
Parts of it have; some South Koreans stopped living with it a few days ago. Joel - 25/11/2010 01:48:02 PM 1905 Views
They won't be the last. Variant - 02/12/2010 12:55:20 AM 1461 Views
