I won't argue American history with you because I don't believe that you could ever see or listen to anything not made up by those who hate America.  Your own past statements have shown a need to deny any good that America has done in the past and a pathological need to put down all things American.  You are a sad, bigotted little man.

You are just sensitive to criticism of the current Whitehouse incumbent. If a leader of a country was destabilizing your region of the world, you'd be angry too.

Grasp at straws little man.  I could care less about truthful criticism of Bush.  I despise the "Bush is a poopyhead" school of thought.  The man is a fuck up.  Its when people start singing of the partisan perfection of either side that I find such arrogant blindness annoying and, by its very nature, blatantly false.
It is apparent that you have trouble reading.  My statement says that you deny anything that America has done in the past.  Bush was not in charge for all of America's past.  You might need to pick up a book with words in it some time to understand that.  Of course, it is easier to be an antiAmerican bigot, isn't it?

It was'nt the Americans who started that. Blame the Germans. They were are it way back then. There was a vote on what would be our national language. The English won it by one vote over German.

And a note to Paulnz,

Are you aware of the picture you are painting of yourself on these forums, how you are coming across ?

You are doing yourself no favours.

Then, the leader of Plaid Cymru had the incredible gall to think that the money for this prison should come from the British taxpayer as a whole (or in other words, from England);

Sounds more than reasonable given the plunder the English have got away with from Wales for centuries.

Hmmm, first what the English did to New Zealand, and now what the English did to Wales, methinks you think the English are the whipping dog for most of the ills in the world. Well, the ex colonised world at least, in which case you might have a point, but that is history, the past.

I live about 45 minutes from the current Welsh border

From what I've seen, the place is far from fucked as you so eloquently put it.

I think youre the little man, 'for it is you that obviously wants your country to be something it isn't. The US is a typical western country and no different from others, not better or worse. It is imperial, exploitative and pretends its foreign policy is benigh because as a state it is benigh to its own people.

What in America's past makes America somehow better than other countries which is what you are implying? WWII? You fought that in your own interest like every other country fought in their own interest. What?

You obviously don't read my posts about Britain in regard to foreign policy which is just as vitrioloic as my posts against the US government.

Nope. Too much sense to do something like live in the place, but the inequalities are staring everyone in the face. Interesting when I talk to the Welsh they are usually the ones who raise some idea of greater independence. On the other side of the border it is the English constantly grinding on about how happy the Welsh are.

Paulnz seems to hate the English as much as he hates the Americans.  I guess its because we are all "lazy, arrogant bigots who oppress the innocent so we don't have to work."  That seems to be the core of what he keeps telling us.

And, as far as the conquest of Wales, the country was pacified more by a single marriage more than all of Longshanks' castles.  My surname is from Wales and, in fact, means "one from Wales."  I spent a bit of time researching the history.  I didn't condemn the whole country as fucked over because I saw one ghetto but I did learn a bit about the past of the region.  It is one of my goals to visit Wales one of these days so I can see where we came from.
