Researcher: Bitc* The only definition of evidence on this forum is that whatever is acceptable to you or your idiot friends is evidence and everything else is false... idiot you are exposed many times.....
Um, no. The evidence exists in the links that I posted, and anyone with half of a brain will immediately recognize that the evidence is valid.
Sober up.

I sympathise, Imbecile. As the English language is a mystery to you and your understanding of the word `evidence' is faulty, one cannot expect you to properly evaluate `evidence.' Your chronic imbecility only compounds the problem, of course.

Is that supposed to mean something? I am sorry but in English, it is as senseless as you yourself are, Imbecile :)

WRT you MORON - Researcher was quoting Napoleon YOU IGNORANT FOOL!!! Why? Because the Brits were way in advance of the French and had trade and the beginnings of industrialisation and consumerism, with people with spare cash shopping for consumer goods such a porcelein by people like Wedgewood - whereas the French were oppressed illiterate peasants eating soup and bread!
GO BACK TO SCHOOL YOU AUSTRALIAN RETARD WRT!

Actually, Adam Smith said that Britain was a shopkeeping nation for very different reasons, and when Napoleon paraphrased Smith he was being disparaging about Britain's attempt to wage war. Not only will you find the information here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_shopkeepers
but the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations also contains much of the same information. You do trust the Oxford people, don't you?

QuelleSurprise: the FIRST edition of Smith's book DID NOT SAY THIS AT ALL and that it was addedlater.
QuelleSurprise: "Smith is also quoted as saying that Britain was "a nation that is governed by shopkeepers", which is how he put it in the first (1776) edition...
Make up your mind! Was it in the first edition or not?
Was it Napoleon who first said it or not? You cannot be both right and wrong and even a sicko psycho like you knows that.
QuelleSurprise: I AM RIGHT because it was NAPOLEON who is KNOWN as the person to say that the Brits were 'A NATION OF SHOPKEEPERS'.
QuelleSurprise: It has been suggested that Napoleon may have heard it during a meeting of the French Convention on 11 June 1794, when Bertrand Barère de Vieuzac quoted Smith's phrase.[2]" |

You should know you are no more a bloody Empire. Now we can govern ourselves. You are simply the chatty residue of that empire.
