The thing about human crap is its great value as a natural fertilizer. As a dedicated virtue signaller Sore Toes most likely shops at Whole Foods (now owned by Amazon and therefore a bit of a dilemma for your ardent moralist) or farmers' marketsOriginally Posted by latintopxxx
Speaking of virtue signalling, there's a lovely anecdote about Jeremy Corbyn, well before he became Labour leader, letting his then lover the black MP Diane Abbott be discovered in his bed - interracial sex being somewhat avante-garde at the time. I suppose it's a bit like being found in bed with your Thai bar boy by your leftie friends and explaining that you're simply funding the purchase of a new buffalo
The British Empire.
Starched Uniforms, funny hats with feathers, lunch at the ex-pats club, lots of afternoon tea, servants galore, gin and tonic at sundown, malaria, easy to win wars, dinner with the governor or the viceroy and a chauffeur to drive you home.
What's not to like?
glad u c it like that....somebody had to tame the locals and teach them how to eat with utensils
Cucumber sandwiches, cricket, Evensong with full choir (no girls)
Such as Rama IV's adoption of the spoon and fork, rather than the knife and fork http://thaipalace.ca/why-does-thai-c...ork-and-spoon/
I do love watching first-time visitors asking for chopsticks to eat Thai food
I find it amusing how some people are so critical of the British empire and by extension western civilisation and by this I mean that similar anti western arguments are employed about the Spanish, Portuguese and French empires/colonies but somehow ignore the actions of non european empires, as if the natives were all peace loving beings that sat in circles holding hands singing kumbaya my lord all day. Non western civilisations were also colonisers and just as cruel as the western ones, in fact even parts of europe were at times invaded and colonised at some time or other. All I can say to all the ex British colonies...throw yourselves onto your knees and thank your Gods you were colonised by the British..and not the other unorganised european powers.
The unorganised European powers have systematically decimated half of the native populations in the Americas, Africa and those far reaching islands of the great seas and oceans . The Japanese imperialist were kinder by half.
I doubt the people of Nanking would agree with that.
