Colonialism
is bad
My family would probably have lived in some 3rd world shithole village, lacking in the greater quality of life created by Western societies, if the British Empire had never colonised Sri Lanka.

*Rubs temples until smoke begins to come out*Kid...I can't even with this. I am praying,
PRAYING, this is an attempt (and a very shitty one at best) at dry humor.

On the off chance that you actually want an intellectual look at the subject, Jawaharlal Nehru's
The Discovery of India contains a thorough and insightful investigation of British colonialism and its evils. While Sri Lanka isn't India, I'm guessing the situation was very similar. The book was published in 1946, long before the current academic consensus about colonialism came about. And if you don't want an intellectual look at the subject, well... back at the University of Chicago they'd say, "If you aren't even willing to read Nehru, then shut up and sit down."
I may have taken some liberties with that last part. :angel:

Oh? Please explain.
I have to hear this.

That's called sarcasm. The "greater quality of life" created by Western societies is something only white people have historically benefited from FYI so that's why the comment was made. EvaUnit is mocking white savior ideas.

I think you're giving him a bit too much credit there.
