Cue argument between SCSU fans in 3..2...1...

Right now we need to re-energize before arguing, soon enough though.

Brought my stepdad to the game who has never seen the Huskies play, but kept saying "Wow that 26 is really good." Guess it says something if a player can be recognized by his play on a given night and not his reputation..

I'm surprised it was 26, he's not one of our two guys.

Shouldn't we argue about something more off topic though? Maybe about the who has the best chance at becoming the next pope. Surely that can rip us apart.

They had no merit to do so. It help to set back the continent of Africa more. The repercussions of their expansion are still felt today.

But in the socio-political environment that was 19th Century Europe, did they really have any other options? In my mind if the British had not made attempts to colonize Africa, the French and Dutch would have dominated the continent and thus dominated the natural resources that Africa possessed. While one can argue that British control of India and Hong Kong would have at least mitigated, at least to some extent, the effects this had on the British Empire, I feel that had the British completely steered clear of Africa, it would have had drastic effects on the overall landscape within the Western European Power Sphere.

Great point. an argument could be made that the British received more from other colonies in the Middle East, India (their self described crown jewel) and other parts of the world than their African colonies. It certainly would be fascinating to see what would have happened to the british if they did not go into Africa.

This seems like a wonderful topic for a Roundtable Discussion. We could have our own version of The McGlaughlin Group in this thread. Oh what fun that would be!
