Rome invaded and ruled Britain for 500 years.

Hitler/Nazi Germany tried it, but lost.

Always someone wanting to invade and rule you...if they think they can do so.
Only way to stop them is to have bigger and better weapons.

You know when China will invade you? In about 100 million years when Australia drifts into China and they can walk in. Go change your soiled armor.

I would say that would only happen when Australia becomes worth a damn. 100 million years sounds about right.

Your racist momma never told you about the magna carta?

My racist momma, as you like to call her taught me to fish instead of packing me with sardines. She clearly did a much better job than whatever kept dropping you on your head in lieu of giving you an upbringing.

I remember that album whenever I'm reeling in the years.  The only band named for a steam-powered dildo AFAIK.

Luee is Anglo shaping his history of democracy a little too neatly. The Althing preceded the Normans, as did the Iroquois Confederacy and other early democracies in Scandinavia, Germany, Greece (duh), Sicily, Phoenicia, etc.  The Founding Fathers, btw, directly referenced the influence of the Iroquois on their framing of the constitution.

He may muster the full extent of his vocabulary to reply Duh. I hope you will not lose any sleep over it.

How can you discuss modern governments when you think the magna carta had something to do with the Vikings? Duh! It is the reason why countries coming out of the Brit system have endured.

The Althang predates the Magna Carta by about 300 years. And was a great deal more democratic oriented than the Magna Carta which limited the King's control over the wealthy and.pow3rful while fuck the people. But I doubt you know anything about the history and theories behind our system of government, any more than you understand Islam or immigration policy.

Thank you great chief now go live on a reservation.

Luee is not a thinking man. He gropes hard for an idea but they always outrun him.

Excellent point. Thr Iroquois Confederacy also played a huge role in determining the structure of our government.

Wait... was that an insult? Luee, using ethnicity to insult someone? It defies belief.

Luee is a thinking man...most here just don't like what he's thinking.
Luee is a wise man.

The science of government took a huge step forward with the magna carta.

[Hairy Lime]

One of hundreds of huge steps, many of which are not Anglocentric.
