British forces with the help of some loyalists and some Indians took Washington. I thought they were Pakis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, the USA's incarceration rate is around 5x that of oppressive, totalitarian Britain. But of course. Unless they're Irish, the Brits free criminals after a couple weeks and a promise to behave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to read more mate, all those Irish prisoners are politicians now living the high life and being paid by the UK Tax payers. I think you're confusing Irish with Muslim, of douse there are some Muslim Irish as well, thats where it gets complicated as they're on day release with a tag.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

What, just like every other civilised country in the world in which society has magically managed not to explode under the weight of dangerous villains walking the street? It's a wonder how the USA manages to find enough people to commit ~15000 murders a year with all the non-behaving criminals kept locked up.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
