That doesn't mean that a bunch of peasants from Caen were put there to replace them though.

@Devil-Dick Willie we've been exposed

Well you stated that no one (or very few) is indigenous or native so that essentially pulls the rug out on any and just about every movement that calls for justice and equality for First Nations peoples. If you follow the logic of your post you can easily replace the talking points of Europeans with Native Americans or Aboriginal Australians. I would also disagree with the idea that populations are largely non-Indigenous in Europe. Migration for the most part wasn't as huge as people you might think, and conquerors of lands usually just replaced the nobility, not the general populace. For instance in England just because the the Anglo-Saxon Kings were replaced by Norman kings doesn't mean the common people were displaced as well. I recall reading an article of how the basic DNA of people from the Italian peninsula is largely unchanged over a thousand years despite many different people having conquered the peninsula.

I’m not trying to fight here mate, I was just saying it’s particular to a specific part. ‘American’ is the USA’s official demonym , so how would I specify otherwise ?

It’s pretty broad strokes you’re using, that’s the implicit nature of using nebulous statements like yours. If you didn’t mean all English speakers, why would you address all of them? I don’t understand why you are being defensive about this. You’d say the same thing about broad strokes concerning German culture.

No it isn’t. It is an Americansim, because Americans often have to work for tips. The English speaking world isn’t one homogenous culture.

ok

The problem with this line of thinking is that it can be used to easily justify colonialism.

Japan can be either ‘Nippon’ or ‘Nihon’. China is even more complicated because it depends on the translation and the dialect, there are quite literally dozens of way to express the name. Most countries have different names in different languages. Italia Danmark Sverige Norge Suomi Nederland Hrvatska so on and so forth. Germany for instance is called Alemagne in French, and Alemannia in Spanish.

Well it isn’t like it is a new thing. Arsene Wenger telling players to not get on it every night was revolutionary in the 90s. They still do in the NRL and AFL

Wasn't Magath a bit on the drill instructor side with some odd pagan medicine shit?

I don’t think Klopp is much of a tactician but most of the best coaches.aren’t either. Footballers are mostly dumb as fuck so they need a coach to trick them into doing what the coach wants. Maybe the players are getting too pig headed and doing what they want, need a bit of hairdryer treatment. Maybe he should throw a shoe a Salah. There is a reason why the academia and his colleagues say Biesla is a genius despite not having much success, it is because he is a tactical genius but can’t communicate his ideas to the morons he coaches. Klopp doesn’t have that problem because he knows how to tell an idiot what to do. The ability to disseminate complex information to a dumb jock is underrated.

I'm sure you can find weird tax shit in most country's histories. I think Imperial Russia had a 'beard tax'. Jizya tax would blow a lot of people's minds.

No, the ABC is free, there is like 6 of them now. You might be mixing it up with the American broadcast company with the same name.

I am not arguing against you, just the idea that the fee needs to be so high or that a public broadcaster should be making Hollywood costing movies on the taxpayer’s expense. I know why it exists and it would have been a great idea in the 1920s but I really doubt the rate of TVs in homes hasn’t been over 95% since the 80s. ABC is fine if unspectacular, for the most part it probably needs more original programming but it used to have a very down to earth feel to it, not so much these days but it used to feel pretty sincere.

Haha why does the BBC need £4billion a year? As if It is a total rort and you are trying to justify £160 a year fee. They’ve got you in a Stockholm’s Syndrome. The ABC gets AUD$3 billion over three years. A billion a year by 25,000,000 Australians is about $40 p/a per person which is about £23. I know what I prefer!

Incredibly sad, pointless, and ultimately avoidable. This is 100% I condemned all pitch invasions in the prior thread, all it takes is one thing to go wrong and then everything goes wrong.

Andd I just googled that only 3/4 of the BBC is funded by license. So no, it isn't fairer because you are paying for it regardless. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8101/ And the ABC is funded significantly less than the BBC is. https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/BudgetReview201819/Fundingfornationalbroadcasters

ABC doesn't have adverts and we don't have to purchase a licence, you get taxed regardless, so why does the BBC have a specific tax? We also get Channel 7, Channel 10, Channel 9, and SBS for free, as well as all the derivatives. Seems like a relic of a yesteryear that shouldn't exist but no government will get rid of it because the returns are too nice.

No worse then buying a licence for the fucking TV

Also classic Bondi, more Brits than Aussies.

I’m much whiter and much hairier.

I think around 80% of Australians live on the east coast. Could be wrong but it is very high. Obviously not as an extreme amount as 94% but it is a smaller land area.

It makes no sense either because they are Croats, which I’m pretty sure the Nazis disliked. Braindead fuckwads

I’m pretty sure ethnic clubs aren’t allowed in the A-League. They are about as self aware an an ant ’Oi bruz u haff to respeckt our ancestry or yura a fukken racist. oi bruz what iz dis fukken traditional owner abo shit, wha da fuck’
