Why are we sending soldiers to defend these people?

There was no such country “France” in the 10th century, stop manipulating the history. And of course when later they have invented their word for “heretics” they have probably used the name of one of the first heretic sects wildly spread in Europe, and yes – started from Bulgaria. Their name in translation means something like “Loved from God” and they’d wanted more independence from the Church and as a result had been accused in every existing sin. Something like the witches a few centuries later.

England, of course, gets a reputation for puritanicality in spite of being turned into an entire country of heretics (according to the Pope) and then outsources that reputation to America. Only Bulgaria is stuck with a rep for liking it up the butt. Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said to the rabbit.
This has nothing to do with England and how they are using the word nowadays. In Bulgarian the word “inquisition” stands for “tortures” and comes from the Spanish Inquisition. I don’t know any Bulgarian who is crazy enough to say that the Spaniards have invented torturing people and spread this practice in Europe. Anyway this whole thing has nothing to do with the Bogomils or their sexual practices. Probably they were perverted freaks, or probably real saints nobody knows for sure after more than a thousand years. The point is your first post in the thread and dragging Bulgaria into a conversation for some twisted freaks in Afghanistan. Everything after is a pathetic attempt from your side to justify your first haters post. Let me make myself clear – I’m not writing this for you, but for someone who are riding this crappy forum. We both know you don’t give a dead rat’s ass for the truth, the facts or for the Bulgarians.

You Brits tried to free them from the Russians and Ottomans in the Crimean War and discovered their nasty little habits that way.
Do you have even a slightest idea what the Crimean War is?! Or you are not going to bother to check this either?

Here's a thought: why don't you run off to the lounge and tattle on me?. . .oh wait, you already tried that. How'd it work out for you?

As apparently seems standard with you, you don't worry too much about facts when talking about history: The Franks began invading Gallia aka Gaul, in the 5th century and by the 8th century had conquered most of it, renaming whatever territory they held as "Francia." ("Land of the Franks"). Charles the Bald, grandson of Charlemagne ruled over what was called "Western Francia" which occupies almost the exact same territory as France does today. And that happened in the 9th frackin' century. During the tenth century, his descendants became known as the King of France.

What is wrong with you Oakman?
Tell me something. Not too long ago[^], you trashmouthed every VB programmer, and there are lots of them here at CP. If there weren't, Chris couldn't charge as much for the ads that keep this place going. And yet you think it's hilarious to spread out-and-out lies about the competence of all of these people, and make them feel unwelcome. (Though not too much later, you'l whine about not feeling welcome here, yourself.) You go out of your way to do so, introducing your hatred of a language you probably don't understand into a thread that had nothing to do with any programming language and which I imagine a lot of VB programmers had been chuckling as they read until they got to your post. Why did you do that? What's wrong with you? When you were whining in the lounge about my reporting on the etymology of the word, "Bugger," you deliberately slandered me and called me a prick, for citing so many facts and so many sources that you had no chance of arguing against me on any civil level and so resorted to name-calling and an attempt to get me silenced or thrown out. Why did you do that? What is wrong with you? Don't you know how to disagree without becoming an ass?
