Akenaton, I don't think that someone who claims to know the mind of Ian Paisley and who calls a whole country, "dumbfuckistan" is ready to learn manners. He is lucky if he is able to dress himself I would think.

Having grown up singing "God Save the Queen" in a Canadian school, small examples of Imperial chauvinism by British people, such as leaving out Northern Ireland in the name of the team are hardly a surprise. Nor is the defense of such blunders with illogical pedantry. You are the people who killed the natives around Hudson's Bay Company forts with smallpox laced blankets "for their own good" I'm sure that the slavery imposed in the West Indies and The Americas, was also for the greater good of all, even though, like genocide, it was forbidden in common law.
