Getting offended for no reason seems to be the 'in' thing now.The worst part is some people think that when they say 'i'm offended' that everyone else has to move heaven and earth to make them feel better.The best response is usually to tell them to feck off and grow up.

I'm offended by the size of that picture in the OP Arista

As an old Colonial would it be really bad for me to try one?



Edit. Just realised it had crushed potatoes on top...they can keep it.

What makes you define yourself as a colonial?

Colonials were the IS of the day, not sure how many appreciate this.

so it's not exactly a "nice" thing to be a part of, colonialism is responsible for a whole world of deaths and devastation to my country for example someone saying they're proud of that is a bit nasty, don't you think?

I never said I was proud of it.

However I do see a difference in historic colonialism and Islamic state in today's climate.

Having lived under Colonial rule, a bunch of us meeting up in a forum many many years later with the help of Facebook etc had our own little group under the banner The old Colonials.

So it's just the word 'Empire' she doesn't like? Better not tell her about Empire biscuits.

Empire biscuits are actually a biproduct of the slave trade though. Made from the floor sweepings of slave ships, apparently.
