General Chuck Napier, confronting locals intent on practicing Sati in the British Raj:

“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”



The funny thing is, in 2022 America I don't think we're very far from not being able to criticize something like that without being called RACIST!


Makes you think

Seriously, it does. I find this Donaldson thing really interesting. Anderson had said something really stupid like 3 years ago. So 3 years ago, a ribbing is justified. 100%. But along comes a bonafide asshole who hangs on to this incident like it was yesterday. Plus there's layers. This "ribbing" now took place during a heated moment. "fuck off, Jackie" is little different than "how's it going, Jackie".


Why does he get to call himself Jackie, but I can’t?

:lol:
