Boggy, what would you do if, as happens in some countries, national boundaries are re-drawn or the country abruptly ceases to be ? You seem to have so much invested in the concept of 'nation' that I think it would kill you. Like in the film Goodbye Lenin where a handful of people maintain the appearance that East Germany still exists, people around you would have to do the same.

Have your county boundaries ever been re-drawn, or is this a painful question ?

[bogwort]

My allegiance is to my nation.

If my nation changed ie Pakistan/India Czech Republic/Slovakia I would have to decide which was to be my country.

That would then be where my loyalties lay.

County boundaries mean little to me nor does my birth town/hospital of birth or the ward in it.

I don't have a "complex" just a sense of nationality.

Mr. Wort,

Please reread my last but one post again about why I think Khan chose to represent Pakistan. Explain to me why you think this decision was so ghastly he should have his passport taken away.

All this about my smugness and you saying you don't understand is by the bye. You have an opinion and I have mine. I put myself in Khan's shoes and came up with a theory why he chose the route he did. That's an attempt to understand before running off on the kid with a six shooter. I think this is reasonable. If you think my reasoning is flawed, show me where. This isn't about making you agree with me, it's about you explaining in more detail why you're holding onto this unreasonable position.

[bogwort]

You're mixing up ethnicity and nationality.

I read it and UNDERSTOOD it the first Time.

I've already covered why I think he should have his passport taken away.

I see no flaws in your reasoning as to why he did it and have never said so. It's not WHY he did it but the fact that he chose to go AGAINST his own nation for his own gratification.

Your smugness comes from the fact that while yous say "You have an opinion and I have mine" you also assert that because my opinion differs from yours I am "holding onto this unreasonable position."

However I fully accept that others have opinions differing from mine and NEVER seek to tell THEM they are wrong because THEY do NOT agree with me.

LIKE YOU KEEP DOING.

Christ, its only bloody sport. Not like its important, is it?

[Sam Slater]

His own gratification? You expect him to give up part of his youth to train his bollocks off every day and constantly get hit in the face for YOUR gratification? Of course he chose to do something for his own gratification. He's not fucking hurt anyone, has he? England was his first choice. Why should he give up on his dream just to please a few nationalistic turds like yourself?

[bogwort]

Give it up and accept you're just an arrogant self opinionated prick.

So sure that only YOU are correct about EVERYTHING.

Even now you can't keep your over bloated self important pie hole shut.

You're the sort who ALWAYS has to have the last word.

You're a grade A fucking moron of the worst sort, one who thinks cos they SHOUT the LOUDEST and LONGEST everyone will fall before them.

What a self important knobhead you are.

Go back to looking at the pictures of the nice naked ladies and pulling your tiny little dick.

Mr. Wort,

The British were once renowned and admired around the world for their impeccable manners, fairness and etiquette. With your unreasonable behaviour and horrid attitude you've failed to carry on that honourable tradition and become a liability. You may consider yourself a patriot but the esteemed of the past would just regard you an embarrassment.

Personally I'd have your passport taken away.
