Why are white men so unattractive to the opposite sex?

What Catholic citizen of either nation could stand proudly and say the sun never set on their Empire?

All human empires were filled with sin and hypocrisy, even the Catholic ones that explored slavery for centuries.

A Catholic can be a patriot in good conscience of either the British or the American Empire. And since the sentence "the empire on which the sun never sets" originated in Spain during their heyday, I don't see why the British and American Catholics couldn't proudly say the same of theirs, although the American Empire doesn't really qualify for that definition.

Yes, patriotism is a virtue.  But I'm not talking about patriotism, I'm talking about nationalism. 

Slavery was practiced by merchants and soldiers despite the Catholicity of their nations, not because of it.  Northern Europeans, however, practiced it because of their cultural ideologies not despite it.

Spain did have an empire upon which the sun never set.  But they do so honestly, they arrived and conquered, stating their intentions.  Not the Englishman, and not the American.

Chesterton, Belloc, Tolkien all became Catholic and worked to further Catholicism in their cultures.  The problem is, their cultures are inherently very unCatholic.  It even breeds them into having very unCatholic personalities.  Look at the arrogance of the British Empire or the American republic.  What Catholic citizen of either nation could stand proudly and say the sun never set on their Empire?  That's a horrible thing to be proud of, empires constructed through sin, through heresy, through error.

At least when the Spanish landed in the New World they said, "We are here for CHRIST!  And also to get a sh*tload of gold."  The British and Americans have spread their tentacles through lies and manipulation.  Democracy, the rights of man... all lies.

What is democracy but a mob flipping over a bus? 

Honestly, how long do you want me to rant?

Just for the record, Hilaire Belloc, while he wrote in English and lived most of his life in England, was a cradle Catholic, born in St Cloud, France.

***ETA***He didn't even bother becoming a British subject until he was 32.

And I think, if you check, 'democracy' as we know it today is a product of the French Revolution and the 'Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen' definitely is. Neither Britain nor the US was anything approaching a modern democracy when the French introduced the idea.

Yes.  Belloc had a great perspective.  He loved the English enough to tell them what was wrong with them and how to fix it.

The English Glorious revolution predates the French Revolution by a century.

Heck, lets not forget the English were the first to overthrow and behead a monarch. 

The rights of Englishmen have more to do with the dominance of the liberal democratic republic than the French Revolution.

Lucius Junius Brutus would care to have a word with you. 

Also, I vote this the most ridiculous thread of the year to date.

I thought everyone understood it was a monarch who was beheaded under the suspicion that he was Catholic.

Oh, and yes, it's a stupid thread.  Faith matters, race doesn't.  No matter what you look like and what personality you have you are SOMEBODY'S idea of "hawt".

What territory did Spain own in Asia then? The Philippines. Anything else?

The British didn't state their intentions? I'm not following.

And you should remember that abolitionism started in Britain, influenced by Protestant and Enlightened thinkers.

Interesting thread. 

Is it just possible, I wonder, that the OP's sad and bitter attitude has more to do with how women see him and how he sees women, then any direct effect of his skin color?

(And yes, I saw it as a racist rant too.  A sad and bitter one.  Some women will prefer a lighter skinned / fair haired man, some won't.  All that matters is that you find one you like and who likes you.  Do you need the world's white women to swoon over you?)

Based on some of the OPs other posts, I think that is part of the problem.  I have dated boys with sad bitter attitudes.  You go out with them a few times and you realize you don't want to spend any more time with them.

I noticed that this is the second time the OP has made racist remarks... just sayin

Which remarks did you find racist?

Are you kidding?  It was a racist rant.

Is racism a serious matter, or a trivial matter? If it's a serious matter, you should have compelling evidence before you call someone racist, otherwise you are besmirching a man's reputation and cheapening a serious issue. So again, which remarks of his were racist?
