It is about the rights of one PERSON vs the wants of another. By your idea, China should be aloud to take over England just for the benefits of its location. So, have you invited China to invade lately?And placing the "needs" of a few hundred hypocritical, luddite squatters above a medical revolution that would benefit billions is "right" is it?
Thats not a right, that's just greed. You're still unable to understand such a simple thing.The fact that the Federation could use it help billions, whereas the Ba'ku were only 600, and would be relocated to another planet with as close a match to the environment of the Briar Patch planet as possible.
Wrong, fighting continued along the Proclamation Line for another 40 years. My family fought there since before the Rev and even after the end of Second War of Independence (1812 war). The French Navel battle cut off retreat from the James River. The British Line was already broken. With reinforcements they could have held out but without them the stalemate was broken. Even with extra troops the British forces had no supply of food and would have starved. It wasn't so much a Surrender as both sides just knew who had won already and that more fighting would gain nothing. Also to add, Yorktown was the last open battle of the war but by no means did the fighting end. Its hard to believe how pathetic your history education is.So, as well as not understanding the moral principle of "the needs of the many..", you don't even know your own country's history. The American revolution ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1782, after the defeat at Yorktown - itself due almost entirely to the French naval victory at the Battle of the Chesapeake. The American contribution to the overall victory comsisted of being stubborn buggers who managed to avoid total defeat long enough for the French to decide to join in.
Are you really that ****ing stupid! How many inbreds are there in your family!? I mean really!!! I know that many brits are stuck up about things but "learnt its lesson". England GAVE UP! Or you didn't get the memo? Maybe your mother/sister forgot to tell you this but... British troops didn't "Go Home" after the razed DC. They went back to the mouth of the Chesapeake, raped and razed whole towns on the go! Turned north to attack Baltimore and then we had the Battle of Northpoint. Which later became North Point Road, WHERE I WAS RAISED! It seems you like to forget those little details about getting your asses handed to you by a bunch of rabble and watch your army fall apart in front of you! Also the start of the war wasn't from the invasion of Canada, that was just when the war started. Some retard like yourself thought it would be good to payback England for the Impressment that had been going on. Of course go figure that wasn't even covered in the treaty and had to be added later on.The War of 1812 started (surprisingly enough) in 1812, when the US Army invaded and attempted to annex Canada. They got a stuffing at the hands of the local TA, who went on to burn down Washinton DC, and then went home. The war ended in 1815, once it was established that the US had learnt its lesson.
The whole battle over New Orleans was because England wanted to make up for the ass kicking they got at North Point and McHenry. England wanted to show that the recent losses against the Americans were only set backs and not a sign of defeat. N.O. changed this as the dream of turning the war in US favor. Even your own Duke of Wellington laughed at what he heard about the war and how England was fairing.
I confess that I think you have no right, from the state of war, to demand any concession of territory from America... You have not been able to carry it into the enemy's territory, notwithstanding your military success and now undoubted military superiority, and have not even cleared your own territory on the point of attack. you can not on any principle of equality in negotiation claim a cessation of territory except in exchange for other advantages which you have in your power... Then if this reasoning be true, why stipulate for the uti possidetis? You can get no territory: indeed, the state of your military operations, however creditable, does not entitle you to demand any.

Again, this is called greed. No wonder we hated your people for so long!I don't know. I would have thought, however, that it would be obvious that when the number aided is six or seven orders of magnitude greater than the number inconvenienced the balance of harm vs gain is overwhelmingly in favour of harvesting the rings.
Distorted? Your whole view is that if you're bigger then you have the right to take something away from someone else. Come over here and try that 'again'. You can get a third taste of what its like to get molly whopped by the little guy. You might even learn a lesson this time around.Yes, yes, you have a distorted idea of right and wrong, I got that. If the Fed/Son'a alliance was simply aiming to wipe out the Ba'ku, or dump them on some barely-inhabitable rock, or the radiation would only help a few thousand people, I'd agree that it doesn't balance. Since this is not the case, you're spouting gibberish.
What do you mean you don't know? You're preaching about how this is 'right' aren't you! You should know full well what the number is. If it is right then it has a point. If it has a point then it must be defined. Where is your defined point? What is the number that makes it wrong? When does to few become to many? If you can't answer such a simple question then you should try shutting your mouth until you can grow up some.I don't know. I would have thought, however, that it would be obvious that when the number aided is six or seven orders of magnitude greater than the number inconvenienced the balance of harm vs gain is overwhelmingly in favour of harvesting the rings.
Then why have you been objecting to it for the last two or three pages?
