@The Morrígan The weather doesn't make a place special... it's the people.

And now that I’ve learned I’m actually not Native American whatsoever, I’ve decided to make my christmases a little more European.

Gonna go nail a raw chicken to a tree

It is a combination of the folk, the land, and the spirit that gives Place

@Rogue I know some very special and mighty people in South Africa. Strong people. So you're correct

Yes

The Zulu are a strong people

I admire the culture of the Boer.

You could learn some lessons from the Boer people @Rogue

Sadly a lot of boer are still libs that basically support initiatives made to destroy them

Oh no

Well, I beg to differ . . It's the Afrikanners that are still liberal. . Not necessarily the Boer @NITRODUBS

Two different cultures of white folks

Boer vs. Afrikanners

And then the English

Sorry I must’ve gotten the two mixed up

Not too knowledgeable on that

Yes. Many people aren't aware. It's ok.

The most hardcore S African I know is English

Ahhhh

Well . . .

I know that the Boers are a very conservative people and not in a good sense

Many of the Boers despise the history of the English in SA

The English sold them out

Worked with the Zulu tribes, etc

I know

The Boer wars were some of the worst cases of white-on-white atrocity in history

I agree

Yes.... I've come to see this @Ald

And the (((Eternal Anglo))) were behind them...

Really makes you think
