The PN forum is all-inclusive. Tolerant bar owner. Might just miss your remarks. Too busy serving other superior departments. Will listen to PM. But nothing will change.davidm wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2017 2:50 amEvidence that "3rd World people have IQs of 60"? Or is it that YOU have an IQ of 60?
This place is infested with dummies like this. When intelligent people come by and read the puerile oinks of an addlepated blatherskite like Seleucus, what makes you (the people who run the place) think that intelligent people will want to waste time posting here, as opposed to laughing the joint off?

Re: In defense of colonism
What would be really groovy to see, instead of "you're racist, you're fascist, your transphobic" would be if someone has a superior do-able proposal to Gilley's. Foreign aid to corrupt dictators has already been tried and failed, and 'do nothing' isn't working, so those answers aren't allowed.

I seriously doubt it rocked anything but hey ho.Seleucus wrote:Bruce Gilley's "The case for colonialism" rocked the intellectual world this last couple weeks. ...
I wonder what Mr Gilley would make of the research that tends to show that the British held back India from industrialization and in fact deindustrialised them, destroyed their share of world trade and reduced their per capita income during their reign?Bruce Gilley wrote:... Western colonialism was, as a general rule, both objectively beneficial ...
Still, looks like that is all reversing now.
