It would help if you were more specific. All we have from you are more generalities and the usual age equals wisdom argument. Please remeber that age also equals senile dementia in due course. What points raised by me w.r.t to colonialism are you disputing. Selma raises none except a weak defense that some posters were born during the Portuguese regime and hence I should not dispute their claims. How many of the vocal pro-colonialism voices on this forum have lived more then ten years as adults under the Portuguese regime? If anyone is unable to counter my specific points with related arguments and instead resort deflecting the main issue by citing the Hindu caste system, their age or my familiy history, then I am afraid they are as ignorant as I claim them to be. And for that I lament.
