    I just call the whole thing “England”. They’ve stolen and lost so much land over the years that it’s impossible to keep track of where the borders are. If my ignorance of their petty land disputes offends them then maybe they shouldn’t be arrogant cunts who rape cultures and denigrate the victims for centuries. We’d have more respect for you if you had more respect for us. Fuck em.

      That sounds like a good way to end up with a broken pint glass in your face in Edinburgh, Belfast or Cardiff.

        Or London if you say that to someone with a similarly negative view of colonialism (most people)

        Don’t generalise people from the UK like that, you only stoop to the same level as the colonialists by doing that

        Why would I spend any time in a country that hasn’t walked on the moon?

            I am here. I’m not the one calling other people’s countries “the colonies”. You be quiet.

              I am Canadian, and I don’t call sovereign nations “colonies”.

              Get your head straight yank. You really don’t have a leg to stand on muppet.

              Shut up, sit down, the adults are talking.

              No one in the uk calls other countries “the colonies”. If someone has said that to you it was to piss you off and it clearly worked.

                Here’s a first page google result showing a thread of people admitting that they DO call the USA “the colonies”.

                Google is free my dude. Try it, it might have prevented you from losing all your credibility when you were publicly proven to be lazy, stupid and wrong.

                  The thread shows one person admit they do it to piss you off and other people calling it a good idea because it will piss you off

                    Again you’re not reading. I’m sorry but I don’t have any more time to waste on you. You can scroll down with your mouse wheel to find a more people in that thread who use the term, or you can search Google. If you choose not to do those things then you are refusing to acknowledge evidence which directly contradicts your point, which is a toxic and self-destructive form of willful ignorance that I can’t abide unless it’s I paid position and I guarantee you can’t afford me.

                    My time is valuable so I’ll be blocking you without reading your next comment to make sure you’ve read this one.

        Sorry to hear that

        A surprising number of adults struggle with reading comprehension. If there’s people around you could ask one of them to read it for you

          Are you asking for an adult? You seem to have problems with comprehension in general.
