Tejas eh, hmmm, yes we might have been able to make a deal, but too bad, the estadounidenses took it first .... and you know what they're like -g-

Difference with Africa was that brits were not attracted to colonising so much there, settling in large enough numbers to form significant proportion of the population .... they just administered it, maybe made a few quid and went home, for the most part ... your homeland and Zuidafrika being exceptions, to an extent, but still not near enough to form even a sizable minority

Had there been a serious focussed effort to colonise Uganda, i think it probably could have been done, but of course it wasn't, for a number of reasons, and that post to Nadine is really only for her, it's making another sort of point, you know that of course .... N and i have had this out so many times, it's like a dance routine

Is it a smart idea to start up a new country centred around a single religous bond, as late as even say 1882 when the Rothschild colonies first started in Palestine? .... is this good for us, as a species? ... arabs don't think it's good for them, not when it's placed on arab land anyway, but is it even good for the jews? ... has it brought them peace? ... meaning israeli jews of course, i know jews who live in peace but they are canadians and mexicanos

'Kind of like an enormous religious Disneyland.' - that's it! ... the catholics have the Vatican, though they haven't got any good rides, but they don't seem to have much trouble out of it ... of course they don't periodically get in their tanks and roll towards Milan and Salerno either, and far as you can tell from reading the paper they seem to observe the Rome bylaws prohibiting armoured D9s .... yes, they should maybe go on the examples list eh, also for the lutherans, who might be able to centre a theme park around the ninety-five faeces that the old fellow nailed to the door at Worms

A nation is a different sort of critter ... i really like Mandela's flag, the Y on its side to signify variety coming together, the rainbow colours .... many difficulties along the road for them, many injustices will happen on the way, lesser evils hopefully but evils nonetheless ... it'll work out a little better each year though, provided no single group based on colour or religion or length of pubic hair takes it into their heads to force on the rest an Excludostaat.
