Are you really using technology and literacy as an argument? If England had a stack of tanks, and they managed to destroy India's lone spearman, is that not an invasion? Aren't there tribes of uncontactable people all around the world (New Guinea, Bolivia, Brazil for example) that specifically aren't being integrated (invaded?) for heritage reasons? Would kicking them out so their forests can be cut down not be construed as some sort of invasion? Why would the term invasion only be applicable to those that understand the relatively modern idea of a sovereign state? I bet the dudes firing arrows at a chopper are more then happy to deny they are part of Brazilian Sovereignity, and probably have the right to feel they have been invaded. Also you sound racist. lilbeefer fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Mar 31, 2016 |

Imagine being able to ride your pushie around without being told to get off the loving road by a bloke listening to AJ talkback.

freebooter posted:but it just really bugs me when people go too far in the opposite direction and start idealising tribalist societies. Much like how it shits me when people in this thread seem to literally believe Australia is an awful, monstrous society when - relatively speaking - it's actually one of the fairest and most tolerant places in human history. Just because Australia is one of the less bad countries doesnt mean it isn't an evil monstrous society and we shouldn't complain about it.

Pretty sure the whole horrible discussion started because a uni wanted to use the word invaded instradbof colonised. Uni was right, no matter the premise.

Popcorning the poo poo out of 4 corners right now. Seriously how can you not own hundreds of multi story carparks, charge 10 bucks + an hour with minimal upkeep and still need to hide your money away? Won't someone think about the poor guillotine-smiths who have been locked out of business for centuries?
