Biden a Irish Nationalist!?

Winston Smith said:
Decartes is the only one listed that is worthwhile. France was getting bad enough, but, since the establishment of the First Republic, it has only contributed negatively to the world. All of its colonies are either failures (French Guyana is still a territory, unlike the other Guyanas) or were taken over by a different nation (usually Britain).

Italy obviously had a great history, given Rome (753 BC-376 AD) and the Renaissance, but, it hasn't been relevant since Europe entered the early modern period (1450).

Doucheland rightfully has a bad reputation. It has contributed the worst political philosophies to the world.

I'm pretty sure Galileo trumps Descartes.
 
Winston Smith said:
As an American, France, Italy, and Poland have no real relevance to my life. Poland arguably has the most of the three only because of St John Paul II. My culture, language, and political life is entirely influenced by the British. Also, I am part Czech, Slovene, and Kraut, so, I was not exactly raised with a scent of Irish nationalism.

There would be no USA without France.

I actually prefer Germans over Brits.
Not by much, though.

German tech & foods tend to be better.

Besides, Some German are much more Nationalist than Brits.

East Germany & Austria are more Nationalist than any British country,even the USA.

German contributions are extremely narrow, pertaining to music, brewing, and engineering. Britain's contributions are extremely broad and felt in just about every context of life. You can physically live in a former colony, and be living better than people in the UK, which cannot be said of any other ex-colonies (like Haiti).

I disagree.
I think Germans are more Intellectually well rounded than Brits.

It's not just an English country.
In fact
Considering Appalachia & USA presidents are mostly British.

I don't think much of them.

They are fcked up dullards if you ask me.

The real intellectual engine in America comes from.largely non British ethics

An awful lot came from Eastern Europe of different faiths be it Jews, Catholics, Othodox Christians, or Lutherans.

Have you even dealt with British people online!?

80% of them behave like Dutch Uncle, they are incredibly obnoxious, arrogant, ignorant trolls.

Other European ethics aren't like them at all.

I tend to believe Americans are better from mixing with other Euro ethics.

I deal with Tom all the time here on JPP, and he's perfectly fine. Of course, there is Iola the Taffy, but, I try not to hold him against Britain, and Wales, in particular.

It's not now, but it was at the Founding. An event that was made possible thanks to New England.

Appalachia is definitely a cesspool, though.

I would like to put a good word in for Jonathan Swift, lesser known as a poet here is an example.

A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed
BY JONATHAN SWIFT
Corinna, pride of Drury-Lane
For whom no shepherd sighs in vain;
Never did Covent Garden boast
So bright a battered, strolling toast;
No drunken rake to pick her up,
No cellar where on tick to sup;
Returning at the midnight hour;
Four stories climbing to her bow’r;
Then, seated on a three-legged chair,
Takes off her artificial hair:
Now, picking out a crystal eye,
She wipes it clean, and lays it by.
Her eye-brows from a mouse’s hide,
Stuck on with art on either side,
Pulls off with care, and first displays ’em,
Then in a play-book smoothly lays ’em.
Now dexterously her plumpers draws,
That serve to fill her hollow jaws.
Untwists a wire; and from her gums
A set of teeth completely comes.
Pulls out the rags contrived to prop
Her flabby dugs and down they drop.
Proceeding on, the lovely goddess
Unlaces next her steel-ribbed bodice;
Which by the operator’s skill,
Press down the lumps, the hollows fill,
Up goes her hand, and off she slips
The bolsters that supply her hips.
With gentlest touch, she next explores
Her shankers, issues, running sores,
Effects of many a sad disaster;
And then to each applies a plaister.
But must, before she goes to bed,
Rub off the dawbs of white and red;
And smooth the furrows in her front
With greasy paper stuck upon’t.
She takes a bolus ere she sleeps;
And then between two blankets creeps.
With pains of love tormented lies;
Or if she chance to close her eyes,
Of Bridewell and the Compter dreams,
And feels the lash, and faintly screams;
Or, by a faithless bully drawn,
At some hedge-tavern lies in pawn;
Or to Jamaica seems transported,
Alone, and by no planter courted;
Or, near Fleet-Ditch’s oozy brinks,
Surrounded with a hundred stinks,
Belated, seems on watch to lie,
And snap some cully passing by;
Or, struck with fear, her fancy runs
On watchmen, constables and duns,
From whom she meets with frequent rubs;
But, never from religious clubs;
Whose favor she is sure to find,
Because she pays ’em all in kind.
Corinna wakes. A dreadful sight!
Behold the ruins of the night!
A wicked rat her plaster stole,
Half eat, and dragged it to his hole.
The crystal eye, alas, was missed;
And puss had on her plumpers pissed.
A pigeon picked her issue-peas;
And Shock her tresses filled with fleas.
The nymph, tho’ in this mangled plight,
Must ev’ry morn her limbs unite.
But how shall I describe her arts
To recollect the scattered parts?
Or shew the anguish, toil, and pain,
Of gath’ring up herself again?
The bashful muse will never bear
In such a scene to interfere.
Corinna in the morning dizened,
Who sees, will spew; who smells, be poison’d

Considering what Germany did to Poland I'm amazed that he even wants to talk about them as civilised. I went to Poland many times in the Nineties on business, it always used to amaze me how antisemitic it was and maybe still is, haven't been there for some 20 odd years now.

If England is so terrible then why did so many Poles, Czechs, Hungarians etc. go there in 2004 and afterwards when Tony Blair opened the floodgates?
