[QUOTE=Lust4Life]  
Yes well as usual you’ve certainly made some serious ethical ,historical and political points of great relevance to the issue based on your so readily apparent in depth and detailed historical knowledge,both generally and specifically .  
[/QUOTE]

My knowledge of the Indian subcontinent and the Europeans is miles ahead of anything you have.

This assumes you understand the concept of logic.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about you. It is very clear that you haven’t even made a cursory study of the Indian subcontinent.

If this means you’ll stop posting inanity, then I’m very happy.

Ah, yes. You haven’t managed to counter a single thing I’ve posted, so you devolve into referring to what I’m standing in as a “playground.”

And here we have it at last. Unable to counter my arguments, **Lust4Life** must resort to my ethnicity, in the desperate hope that other people who think like him will ignore my arguments simply because of my race.

If you never get in touch with me, I will be very happy.
