Welcome. I wouldn't worry about getting banned. That's almost impossible. Just try to get along and you'll be fine. Damo^Hi 12:17, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Please sign talk page entries using four tildes like this: ~~~~ or by clicking on the sign button: , on the toolbar above the edit panel. Thank you. Theory of Practice "...and we do love you madly." 17:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

And you, TheoryOfPractice, please subst "sign" templates, especially if the template contains a section.--ZooGuard (talk) 18:51, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Please do not "undo" someone's undo, thanks

I get really pissy about edit wars -- unless I'm the one doing them, of course. If you get into another round of "undo", and "undoing the undos", I have no problem using my God Given authority to block you for a few hours. K? I get that you want a fair and balanced wiki, but you walked into the place clearly aware you were going to stir the pot, stirred the pot, then sat there and played undo. That isn't editing on good faith at a site you know is "less than" per your view. Thanks. Godot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans 18:25, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

ToP used a template, the "edit" link of the previous section pointed to the template, not this talk page. It's fixed now.--ZooGuard (talk) 18:51, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

"Indigenous peoples"

If you were talking about French or Swedish politics, would you call the people in those countries "indigenous peoples"? No? Then why would you do so when talking about Zimbabwe? (Or would you prefer I called it "Rhodesia"?) Theory of Practice "...and we do love you madly." 19:21, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Colonial pioneers built Africa. Without them Africa would still be the dark continent. The history of Britain in Africa is a glorious one. I am an indigent Briton. These are just words TOP. ProudTory (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I just love when people like you show up where I am, that line is just wonderful. --^Mikal 21:39, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

"Indigent"? Perhaps you should get a job and work harder, then, instead of wasting your time on a wiki. Theory of Practice "...and we do love you madly." 21:43, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

The important thing is that you corrected my incorrect use of words. ProudTory (talk) 21:45, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

So when you are you going to leave the county in favour of the original Cletic inhabitants? We Celts are fed up with all these immigrants who have turned up of a last thousand years or so taking our jobs and seducing our women!--Bob^{"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?."} 20:10, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

I can trace my family tree back to the Viking invasions

Fucking immigrants - coming over here, taking our jobs, taking our royalty. Get back to Normandy (or, more correctly, Denmark) where you belong. Innocent Bystander (talk) 22:56, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Africa; I think you'll find. --Damo^Hi 23:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm a Celt and I'm still irritated about the Anglo Saxons, The Vikings and the Normans coming over and displacing us to the edge of our own country! And now they all want to call themselves "British"! Briton for the Britons is what I say! Send them all back home!--Bob^{"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?."} 08:43, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

When cultures interact

Of the British Empire, you say "A lot of good can happen when a superior civilisation interacts with an inferior one."

Of modern Britain, you say "the mulicultural experiment has failed."

Why is that? Are cultural interactions only positive when they take they take the explicit form of a "superior" culture supervising an "inferior" one? Or only when they take place far away from home while we keep our own back yard free of pesky foreigners & their foreign ways? ₩€₳$€£ΘĪÐ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 01:50, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Multiculturalism has created ghettos, whole streets that were once British are now Pakistani or Somalian. Anytime I go back to Bradford, I can't even recognise my home town. The social strains and the lack of respect of these immigrants for the host population exacerbates the problem. ProudTory (talk) 10:38, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

So what was so great about the British Empire? Did the Brits respect the peoples they invaded, exploited, ruled & sold? Did the colonial subjects respect their imperial masters? Wēāŝēīōīď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 11:27, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

I believe that I've already explained the positive outcomes of the British Empire. Compared to other Empires it was humane, democratic, and reasonable. The British have always had a sense of fair play. Imagine if the Germans had to deal with Gandhi in India - do you really think they would have tolerated that? NO, the British was a decent Empire, which allowed decent protest, and eventually allowed the Indians to decide on their own destiny. We fostered parliamentary democracy on at least a dozen nations, and our legal code is practised widely across the world. We helped Africans develop, without us they would still be the dark continent incapable of development. ProudTory (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, just don't let them get uppity & move in next door to us. Wėąṣėḷőįď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 15:59, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I didn't actually say that. You lot love offending yourselves with imagined comments. ProudTory (talk) 16:02, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

It's pretty strongly implied in your comments about immigration, multiculturalism & repatriation. Wëäŝëïöïď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 17:47, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

But why do you think that you Scandinavian immigrants have the right to speak for the rest of us natural born Brits?--Bob^{"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?."} 17:13, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Very funny. I'm not opposed to all immigration, but outside the metropolitan set you need to realise that multiculturalism hasn't worked and it has made the lives of many people an utter misery. Less London, more Bradford please. ProudTory (talk) 17:15, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

But you German immigrants have overrun our country and forced us natural-born Celts to the fringes. I really think that your and your ilk should go back to where you came from. I'm glad you think that it's funny though. Just you wait until the real British people start to move against you bloody invaders! --Bob^{"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?."} 17:40, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

(EC) The British Empire also made the lives of many people an utter misery. You're enthusing about how great it was when Brits brought British culture to the world, while also complaining about when immigrants bring their culture to Britain. This brings me back to my original question, which you haven't really answered: do you only approve of cultural exchange when it's one culture (which you regard as superior) dictating to another (inferior) one?

Why should we Brits regard the opinions offspring of Norwegian (or whatever) immigrants as important? Why don't you just shove off back to Scandinavia where you came from?--Bob^{"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?."} 18:48, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Everyone is a fascist deep down :) Forests (talk) 18:58, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Are you calling me a fascist? Why? Some of my best friends are Anglo-Saxons, and others are of Scandinavian origin - but not even all of them say that they should have a legal right to live in the UK! I'm sure that many of them would love to go back to their ancestors' country of origin. I expect that ProudTory is just itching to be expelled to Scandinavia.--Bob^{"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?."} 19:29, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

So I hear you're afraid of gay people

Why do you oppose their right to marry like anyone else? ఠ_ఠ Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein des Sturmkrieg Sector 00:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm not going to respond to such a loaded statement. ProudTory (talk) 22:39, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey sugar, what's up? Copperhead^Hisssssss 22:45, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey John!

How's your brother? Blue (pester) 01:50, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

You're a miserable little cunt. As a result of your lack of sexual attractiveness as a woman, you funnel all of your hatred and insecurities into being a boring ass bureaucrat on an internet website. You're boring, you're going to be an old bored spinster with an army of cats and you always have a mild smell of urine about you. God, how I hate you all of you cunts. ProudTory (talk) 11:28, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Then consider fucking off and never coming back! It's what all the cool kids are doing!

Oh and Blue, have I told you lately how sexy you are? Meow!--Token Conservative (talk) 18:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
