@JJgtlx @constans The Arabs didn't exist in classical antiquity.

@TheRealBigWerd @RnaudBertrand @KitchenPattyz It's China. Even the Tibetans don't care that much any more. It's just Americans who do

@Trebornotrub They will have been awake since 6 though. Because you were an ESL teacher you had the luxury of starting late.

@sabinereyn60907 @RnaudBertrand I took the screenshot from the BBC website

@EristheFair @Narretz @RnaudBertrand Absolutely nobody in the West calls China Zhongguo. Does that mean nobody recognises China?

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@EristheFair @Narretz @RnaudBertrand The UN does- which is usually what we use to arbitrate these things.

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@EristheFair @Narretz @RnaudBertrand I don't have a position on Tibet. When I lived in China I met Tibetans who went to prison during the 2008 protests. I just think it's pathetic for the BBC to make a cheap political propaganda point at the time of a disaster.

@FreakyAvatar @RnaudBertrand Seems you are...

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@FreakyAvatar @RnaudBertrand Is Google Maps ok for you?

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@Narretz @RnaudBertrand Tibet is just a cause celebré of westerners. Tibet peasants suffered horrifically under the feudal theocracy of the Dalai Lama- but that's never mentioned.

It's recognised as part of China- there is a time and place to make a political point. A horrific disaster is not it.

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@Narretz @RnaudBertrand Yes both do.

Wales was conquered by an English King at roughly the same time as Tibet first came under the Chinese Emperor's suzerainty.

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@Narretz @RnaudBertrand It's like saying "Wales, which is controlled by the UK", or "Brittany, which is controlled by France"

@DuvenAlpaslan Jokes on Russia. We don't have any factories any more.

@lukeire @EternalNoticer @theodorebeers Just sounds like you're incredible prejudiced and bigoted to be honest.

Anybody claiming that a particular nationality aren't friendly or don't care about family and it's something that is only unique to their culture is talking utter crap.

And I've travelled all over Ireland.

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@oirdenide @cath_cov "No, not Irishmen who joined up. This was the penalty applied to deserters from the Irish Army."

They were the same people. The Irish government chose to class any soldiers who followed their conscience and decided to sign up to fight the Nazis as a "deserter".

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@lukeire @EternalNoticer @theodorebeers You're the completely ignorant one. English people aren't cold. The culture of northern England- Manchester, Liverpool, Yorkshire and Teeside is similar to Ireland

You're either an American larper or someone with such a small town mentality you've never been outside your county.

@Mr_Riddickulous @tomoregan123 @Conguill @theodorebeers D.J Provai is around 37. Anyway, to be fair Kneecap are alright- I enjoy them as a Brit. I think they're a bit tryhard and edgy at times though.

[Tuquoquefallacy @Tuquoquefallacy]

@Grassdia @tomoregan123 @Conguill @theodorebeers 180,000 people claim to speak fluent Irish in Ireland. 580,00 in Wales. It's a pretty poor effort for country with such strong nationalistic myths about colonial oppression.
