@charliebarosio . I can imagine your taking any opportunity to slam the USA seeing as they called your "royal family" and their LGT Bank (which they are on the board of directors) "conspirators and defrauders" who "aid and abet tax dodgers, and those who elect to defy court orders", etc. It's easy to see where you thieves get it from, it must be genetic as well. I am sure we will drop by and pay you a visit on the next "world tour".

Fuckin Britlanders always invading attacking and murdering somebody to harvest their resources? Now their yankee cousins are at it . Must be genetic!

like the rest of the docile imbeciles who joined!

war criminals, the lot of um!

Unable to reply with anything other than sweeping generalities, you resort to the standard modern tactic of personal insult.

Again I ask the question what verifiable sources do you have to back up the generalisation you made which is now appears based on your interpenetration of you have chosen to read!

As that the last survivor of WWI recently died, I fail to see how you thought my question alluded to you being in WWI. However you may have had personal experience of WWI veterans as I have?

clearly I was not in the first world war because I am thirty three. Go read some history books. Just cos your grandaddy had it a certain way, does not mean many men were effectively ignored and left to rot by king and country after the war. Sweeping statement, you ignorant fool.
