I didn't think it worth answering. He makes some good points sometimes but is still a person who is far too opinionated: incommensurately with his knowledge of the outside world. Whenever he sees an opinion he doesn't like, he doesn't argue rationally and honestly but just makes things up and gives his view of the world as he likes to imagine it. That consists of pretty much everybody else being wrong. Can't help it I suppose .... he's part of what I was referring to.
With the internet, more and more people are starting to understand what others think of them when they behave like that .... blind reactions in defence of what they see as their heritage but all it does is perpetuate what is wrong with it.
I'm not from Wigan but I liked it enough to have stayed here 40 years. I've lived in London for four years or so, Liverpool for five, Canada and India for short times, and am from the two Northern counties in England .... Cumberland, which is now a part of Cumbria, and Northumberland. No wonder people get jealous, regarding those two counties!

++ I understand that, you do not.
Strongly solved is being used for a game for which a strategy has been determined to achieve the game-theoretic value against any opposition.
That is what the 7-men endgame table base has done for all positions with 7 men or less.
The final position shown below has a game-theoretic value of "draw" under FIDE competition rules chess (suitably amended to be capable of solution). The only move to draw is 26...Ka1. The strategy of any tablebase is to play 26...Kc1 which loses.
Would it be possible for you to take that in at some point?
++No.

@tygxc apparently believes that if he can down vote 10^9 posts a second for the next 5 years he will have solved chess.

The bolded section could be any number of posters talking about you. You seem to know deep down what you are, but then choose to pretend you are not and project your traits onto others.
In this case, since I was clearly making a fanciful scenario, your point doesn't even make sense. Unless you actually see yourself as a demi-god striding the hills of middle England...there is that possibility, and in your case I can't completely dismiss it.
No, they're talking about you. I've seen numerous posts, some recently, where people are saying you just make things up. Also your recent tirades against various people, whom you see as trolls, are quite noticeable for their sheer pointlessness.
I didn't actually read that post MAR was referring to because it was quite obvious you were taking my comment out of context. A few hundred years ago, London was very much the centre of the relevant world. I should stop trying to quarrel with too many people at once if I were you. People might think you're a troll. It's quite clear you project all your many insecurities onto others and then claim they are doing the projecting. Pretty mad, so calm down. You were doing ok.

See? Case in point. Projection.
Produce some of these mythical people and posts. Then produce some of this mythical anger and lack of calm.
As always, you will produce nothing when called out on your "lots of people think this" appeal to false majorities.
I did have one pointless exchange recently, but I actually was the one who pointed out that it was pointless. This is where your fuzzy memory took over and filled in some blanks, I suspect. I doubt you can even find and link that, though...
here you two go mounting again : j
btw, projections are usually subconscious. not to say one can’t be self aware, but, yea, take that in mind blue..

Keep your personal fantasies private. Thanks.

Don't involve me ok? He's been shooting off against anyone in the past two days.
Just the local mad person ranting.

Statistically, this is going to happen. I can't control when people choose to make ridiculous posts. Luckily, I have no problem holding a dozen posters at bay with one arm behind my back while yawning...
Note how I am actually kidding about being superior to other posters just there. A difference in perspective and expression you should emulate.

Many Americans do indeed consider their own culture and nation as the finest in history and demand an unrealistic degree of respect from "lesser" peoples. The same seems to be true of nearly every other society. Perhaps we can learn from England, adopting the philosophy that "the wogs begin at Calais" and resigning ourselves to the necessity to "take up the white man's burden".
"Many Americans" must be exceptionally ignorant, then. You said it! But a failure to learn from the mistakes of others is a far worse error than making such mistakes in the first place, especially when we have the capability, in the light of present day knowledge, to see those mistakes made in the past for what they are. England has learned from those mistakes and moved on but the USA wants to repeat them all and more besides. You repeat the point about "taking up the white man's burden" but England has never been a particularly racist society. However, I was talking about free speech and hypocrisy!
Yes, many Americans, and Russians, and Englishmen, and people in every other nation on Earth are willfully ignorant and believe in "my country, right or wrong". This condition has existed everywhere through human history.
Thanks for your amusing comment reinforcing my point.

Meanwhile, there were a lot of people who were intolerant of the restoration of the monarchy and all it entailed. They tended to be the people who went to America on the Mayflower, so they could continue to make the lives of others a misery. Of all the colonies founded, only one in America was based on tolerance. All the others were at least to some degree despotic and governed by bigots.
The "people who went to America on the Mayflower" constituted a very small % of the people who came to what is presently the United States during the colonial era. Many debtors and criminals were transported, and Dutch, Spanish and French colonies were incorporated into pre-revolutionary "America". The freedom-seeking Puritans are part of American legend, but most of the colonies were settled by well-to-do entrepreneurs looking for a chance to make a fortune. Immigrants from all nations, indentured servants, and slaves were recruited as a workforce.
As far as "tolerance" goes, I doubt if the transported criminals and debtors found much, and indentured servants, not to mention slaves, were essential chattel. And the indigenous people were simply eliminated in great numbers.
I find it interesting that you say that Britons that went abroad to every other part of the world they took over by force of arms turned out to be bigoted despots.
Sorry, I forgot that you're perfect. My mistake.
I'll tell you what though. For perfect people, you don't half defend yourselves at the slightest hint of criticism. I suppose that's why you're such a great nation.

Lol. It's a prodigious leap from having hypocrisy pointed out to you to trying to claim anybody has said America is perfect in this discussion. My track record on the subject of a perfect America says quite the opposite. Any contortion in a storm, I guess.
@Optimissed: @tygxc's brain is missing.
That could be a knee jerk reaction because of President Reagan.
I was actually thinking of Kennedy.
Now, that wasn't so very nice!
