A general rant about stupid Americans.
A few things that really annoy about Yanks is there completely useless way in which they use the English language, just a small list of a few words they don't say correctly;
-Aluminium
-Tomato
-Yoghurt
-Car (Automobile)

The way in which they mis-spell simple words like, harbour ans colour.
The most irratating thing is their complete self believe that they are the best country in the world. "God save America, Yay America, U S A, U S A" fucking idiots. The fact is that all American are infact, yes you guessed it, British, and not only that they don't even have a history. My house is older than there shitty country.

Please comment if you agree(non-Americans) or disagree(Americans)

I'm not sure this is the best way to start out your posting career.

That being said, welcome to the forum...

Ladies and Gentlemen: Ignore the troll. (Hansentinople)

bye

Isn't "goddamn" American slang?

I'm from the UK and I find this frankly stupid. You cannot generalise an entire culture. This is just inflammatory and insulting and is an obscenely prejudiced comment. Go back to your little racist community you dafty.

I love your sig Chinese Republics...It's so colorful! ^_^

Thanks :D

To Uber Awesom,

The use of Goddamn American is indeed slang, but is used to get the attention of idiotic Americans, as they would'nt know a proper word if it lost a war to vietnam.

Hah! Your plan is foiled, I say! For I am a non-American (British, actually) and I disagree. Americans might have queer ways, and they might be very different, but they are, as a rule, kind folk who are happy to show youaround their city and help you have a good time. Now granted, their gov might be fucking shitty, but as a people, they are just relaxed, easy-going folk. Now we all enjoy a bit of yank-bashing, but to be perfectly honest, they are an ok bunch. Oh, and if you ever date a california girl, youll know exactly why I defend them...

Takes back the trolls food and says "sike"!

They are not grammatical i was just rushing on the keyboard, so mistakes will be made.

Ow! Mommy the mean troll bit my hand!
*waits for M0ds to punish the troll*

I agree with one point in the original post. The mispelling of "colour". Shouldn't colour be a colourful word? "Color" just looks so boring...

And he claims he's British.



I AM NOT BRITISH I AM ENGLISH

The difference between the use of "there", "their" and "they're" is grammatical. Since you typed out "there" perfectly and it has the same number of letters as "their", there is no reason for this to be a spelling mistake. Thus, it's a grammatical error.

Regardless, if you're going to flame, flame with proper spelling and grammar.

If you're going to criticize the way Americans use the English language, at least have the courtesy to use it correctly yourself. As a courtesy, i have corrected your post. Feel free to copy and paste. Comments are in brackets in blue.


A general rant about stupid Americans [This was more a title than a sentence, so no period is needed.]

A few things that really annoy me about Yanks are [The subject is plural, so the verb must agree.] their ["There" is a place indicator, "their" connotes possession.] completely useless way of using the English language. Just a small list of a few words they don't say correctly:
-Aluminium
-Tomato
-Yoghurt
-Car (Automobile)

The way in which they misspell [Simple words such as "misspell" do not need hyphens.] simple words like, harbour and colour.
The most irratating thing is their complete self belief ["Believe" is a verb. "Belief" is a noun.] that they are the best country in the world. "God bless America! [Usually, it is "God bless America. I believe you are confusing our phrase with the popular British one, "God save the Queen!"] Yay America! U-S-A, U-S-A!" [You are using exclamatory phrases, so use an exclamation point. I assume in the last one that you wish to make it sound as if a person is chanting "U.S.A." That is most often done with hyphens, not spaces.] Fucking idiots. All Americans are in fact ["In fact" is 2 words, not one. Furthermore, never say "the fact is" when using "in fact" to refer to the same thing. It is redundant.], yes, you guessed it, British, and not only that, they don't even have a history. My house is older than their [Again, "their" is possessive. "There" is not.] shitty country.

Shut up. It's people like you that I can't believe exist. Number One: We use different spellings and different pronunciations due to the existence of American English and British English.

Number Two: Not all people believe that. I personally would like to, but in a war, I think China would hold its own pretty well (I'd root for USA though).

Number Three: Not all Americans are British, so watch yourself. I'm proud to be American, but I'm decended of Prussians/Germans and Italians. Why do you think America was called the great mixing pot back in the 10's, 20's, and 30's?

Number Four: Sure we have a history....it's called KICKING YOUR COUNTRY'S ASS!!!!!! What about when we saved it in WWI? Or WWII? What about the Korean and Vietnam Wars? What about the American Civil War? It's all history!

If you're gonna do this sort of crap, first think about what you're saying, then do a bit of research into the "why". Not a good way to start off your career here.

See above. The Grammar Nazis have already been here.

I left spelling alone. I figured everyone diserves a break. Plus, my red ink ran out while correcting the grammar!


Alright, i'll do one more. If you're going to blaspheme, at least get the term right. The title of this thread should be "Goddamn Americans." The "n" is silent, so it can be hard to miss. I hope this helps.

To start with America were rubbish in both world wars.

Gas. As in the solid, liquid, gaseous states that exist. Oxygen is a gas at room temperature. Or we might refer to natural gas as a gas. It's just that we've developed the ability to discriminate between different uses for the same word.

You are an idiot...why do you generalize the WHOLE American country. Hell, this country is probably the way you described because of your kind. Happy? Your country probably has the same problem with certain people, just the same as we do ours. And yes we do say "God bless America". Maybe because we want god to bless our country...especially since that saying is over 200 years old. We became the way we are (rich/powerful) through hard work. Maybe if your country tried a little harder you could too.

You should realize that Europe was about to dissolve in both wars, and we probably should've let it happen. That still doesn't answer the fact that we beat England in, not one, but TWO wars. So, what's your explination for that?

I was going to address your grammar, spelling, and usage, but it seems that has been sufficiently accomplished, so I will move on to commenting on the general statement of your post. Firstly, words such as "Aluminium" can be spelled and pronounced in two different ways, neither of which is considered incorrect. Granted, one is older than the other, but that doesn't make it wrong. And about the best country in the world thing, you're absolutely right... all morning while I was at work all I could think was, "God I'm glad I live in the USA and not some crappy country, GO USA!"[/sarcasm] Sure there are some zealots, but the vast majority of our population are simply patriotic, and there's nothing wrong with having a little pride in your country. Come back once you have something of substance to post about us, and make sure it's something you can say about every American, not just our government or a certain group. The United States is so diverse in people and beliefs, that if you can find one thing wrong with almost every American, I will personally FedEx you one Grade-A chocolate chip cookie :-)

"Metric football" fucking "Metric football", for one you just made that phrase up, secondly if it was a real phrase, it would be "Imperial football" of the Imperial British(fuck, ignore that) ENGLISH measurement system. And the only reason you don't play cricket or football is beacause your shit at it.

Yes, WW I started in 1939 (extreme sarcasim). And by the way, we were unofficially at war with the Japanese. American pilots were stationed in China, and even advised Chinese pilots. Over 3,000,000 tanks and other automobiles were created by 1942. Size of military in 1939: 227,000...1945: 8,000,000.

Britain was lucky we joined them in both. I don't think the USSR could have done anything until we won Western Europe. So next time you stupid limey (that's right, it's idiotic Brit's like you that I call limey's) try make a statement upon the integrity of this nation in the World Wars, make sure you can present valid evidence.

In whta two occasions did America win a war with Britain

As an American (California girl, born and raised) who loves all things British, thought I would include this to add some inoffensive humo(u)r to the thread. It was sent to me by a British buddy.

Enjoy ...

"As part of an effort to crack down on terrorist activity within Britain, Prime Minister Tony Blair has instituted a new series of tests that any applicant
for British citizenship must pass:

- The ability to express the full range of human emotion by gentle throat clearing.
- The ability to drink a full pint of warm flat beer (non-alcoholic beer is permitted, but in this case two pints must be consumed).
- The ability to complement the cook after consuming a dinner of cold mashed potatoes, cold peas, and cold burnt meat.
- The ability to instinctively know if it’s tea first or milk first.
- The ability to praise the French while clearly indicating that since 1066 they’ve pretty much been a bunch of losers.
- The ability to praise the Americans while clearly indicating that they got lucky that one time in the late 1700’s.
- The ability to colour in red those bits of the globe that still should properly belong to Britain
(extra credit if the United States is included).

And finally
- The ability to utter the phrase “British Way of Life” without cracking even the hint of a smile."

Wrong again, many of them disapproved of the war from the get go.

And it wasn't needless. It stopped a man who was proven to have commited genocide, among other various things.

And why do you have nothing better to do than trash Americans? And why can't you see you can't generalise a whole country? And why...? I could go on all day...

Im sorry, but I have to say:
mispell is not hyphenated.
You misplaced a comma there.
I find it hugely entertaining that while saying people cant spell words with extra U's like you, you mispell the word 'and'.
I also find it increadibly funny that you call us 'fucking idiots' and then procede to state that all Americans are British. Guess what? Were not. There are people from (gasp!) all over the world here. And, ah, lets see, its been two hundred years, we qualify as our own country now. You could TRY to take over again, but I dont think you would have much success. You can have LA though, we dont want it ;)
'Their shitty country', not 'there shitty country', the way you said it would be okay if you transplanted the comma in the first sentence to a spot just after 'there', which would be sort of like saying 'Ta-da! Shitty country!'
Your house is from the 1500's? Wow. The thatch roof must be a pain to keep up.

I'm British?

So you're saying that my life has been a lie all this time and that I don't really know German and I'm not really German/Roman?

1812?
Was that the war where the American Republic tried to annex the British Colonies of what is now Canada?
Was that the one where the American aarmy was trounced and sent beating back across the border at Queenston Heights, Lundy's Lane, Châteuguay and Chrysler's Farm (where I beleive the Americans had a 5 to 1 numerical advantage)?
Was that the war where Washington was torched?
Hmm?
Was this the war that ended with the treaty of Ghent which saw the US make no territorial gains?
Hmm?
Was that the war where the only significant victory of US forces over the British was at the Battle of New Orleans, which is moot in any means, given that the confrontation took place after the traty of Ghent had already been signed?

Is that the war of 1812 you speak of?

Because you're right. The US must have won that one...

No, I'm Spartacus!
LOL.

The car was invented by a Frenchman by the name of Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769.
Electricity was not invented it has been naturally occuring via lighting for ages.
Robotics where invented by the chinese hundreds of years ago.
The steam propelled machines where invented in Britain by Thomas Newcome in1712.
Jerans were invented by Levi a Bavarian.
Trains where invented by William Jessup in1789.
The plane was invented by an American However air ships where invented by the Montgolfier Brothers years before.

And what happen after this? we kind help you, just little:D
"Just a little" indeed.

1812?
Was that the war where the American Republic tried to annex the British Colonies of what is now Canada?
Was that the one where the American aarmy was trounced and sent beating back across the border at Queenston Heights, Lundy's Lane, Châteuguay and Chrysler's Farm (where I beleive the Americans had a 5 to 1 numerical advantage)?
Was that the war where Washington was torched?

Yep, the war where you guys were sent home anyway and got no territory back.

LOL.
Glad I made someone laugh

Stalingrad, German retreat: 1942-3
D-day: 1944

Everyone neglects the Russians
D-Day, led by General Eisenhower--an American

That doesn't change the fact that it was the USSR which first forced the Germans to retreat (they also reached Berlin first).

This thread provided me (an American in Colorado) with quite a few good laughs from the start. Thanks!

American Revolution

War of 1812

The war of Independence does not count as it was still under British rule. The 1812 war was with Canada not America

Jeans - Invented in America but never mass produced. A Bavarian Man, Levi, took advantage of this and put pockets into the Jeans as to avoid patents and mass produced them. He called them something but they came to be known as Jeans since the entire world started wearing Levis.

----

Airplanes - Korea hundreds of years ago but as putting a man on a kite.

Yep, the war where you guys were sent home anyway and got no territory back.

Hell Yeah

As a Canadian, I just have one thing to say: God Bless America.

The war of Independence does not count as it was still under British rule. The 1812 war was with Canada not AmericaOk.....

Electricity (who would be so foolish as to claim the invention of electricity?)
Steamship - French (marquis de Jouffroy d'Abbans)

Americans make good PCs :p

Well...? WELL...???

Stuck in the middle again, as usual: Canadians. They spell like the Brits, pronounce like the Yanks, and suffer a Prime Minister named Paul Martian or Paul Martien, it means the same thing in either English or French. Let's face it: Canadians are freaks. And, for us over here--that's a GOOD thing.

The war of Independence does not count as it was still under British rule. The 1812 war was with Canada not America

War of Independance - Americans declared their independance before the fighting started. Imperialist Ass-holes back in the British throne and parliament thought it'd be funny to laugh at it and learned the hard way that rag-tag civilians can beat the mightiest army in the world, something Americans forgot untill the Vietnam war and then forgot again.

You - Someone who is angry because his balls have refused to drop.

( Yes I am a troll, thank you. )

That doesn't change the fact that it was the USSR which first forced the Germans to retreat (they also reached Berlin first).

False.

The American Army was on the outskirts of the city first, but they allowed the Soviets to enter because they'd lost so many people... and because the American Army knew that the urban fighting would cost alot of people....

Yep, the war where you guys were sent home anyway and got no territory back.
The British weren't trying to get any territory. 'Twas the US who started the whole thing over not liking the press ganging and all. It's a good thing they ended the war when they did, however, because after having finished up a war with Bonnie, and having 325,000 soldiers just hanging out, Carolina could have made a lovely holiday destination.

To make a long story short:
US want all of North America (RE: Manifest Destiny). US attacks British Colonies (Which it had failed to capture in 1775 (RE: Seige of Quebec).
US fails in capturing Colonies.
Treaty signed. Status quo ante bellum. Objective failed.
At best, the US gets a point for a draw. And that's being generous.

False, the Declaration of Independence was signed.

False.

Also, if America never entered the war then the Germans could have focused all of their manpower against the Soviet Union and would have taken Moscow. Britain alone could do jack shit against the Germans in Europe. Perhaps in dusty old Africa, but they wouldn't have made it to Tunisia with out the Americans.

Also, to just sum this all up ( warning I shall post this once a new page starts ) -

That doesn't change the fact that it was the USSR which first forced the Germans to retreat (they also reached Berlin first).
German divisions on the Western Front (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Front_(World_War_II)#1944_.E2.80.93_1945): 50-60
German divisions on the Eastern Front (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)): about 240.
80% of all German casualties in the war were in the East. Remember what the SS-Panzerlehrdivision (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_Lehr) did to the Americans until the Air Force took it out? Well, imagine about ten elite divisions like it were fighting in the East at the same time.

Wow, let's think about this "horrid country." You mean the stupid country that saved your country's ass from the Germans twice? The stupid country that kicked your country's ass more than enough times? Quite frankly, you owe us everything, we owe you nothing. If it weren't for us, you'd be yelling "sieg heil" to a swastika right now. Churchill was a good war time leader, but no leader can stop the facts. If we had just left Britian to its fate, it would have fallen to the Third Riech before 1942...

How?

It was developed by the Department of Defense in the 1960's as ARPANET which was drawn from the work of J.C.R. Licklider, an American citizen.

A that was very subtly turning in the favor of America for the same reasons as the Revolutionary War.... The atlantic ocean between us and Britian...

Even though it was a draw, it did have good points for America. Britain stopped attacking trade ships and discriminating as much...

Thank you, and have a wonderful jacking.

A general rant about stupid Americans.
A few things that really annoy about Yanks is there completely useless way in which they use the English language, just a small list of a few words they don't say correctly;
-Aluminium
-Tomato
-Yoghurt
-Car (Automobile)

The way in which they mis-spell simple words like, harbour ans colour.
The most irratating thing is their complete self believe that they are the best country in the world. "God save America, Yay America, U S A, U S A" fucking idiots. The fact is that all American are infact, yes you guessed it, British, and not only that they don't even have a history. My house is older than there shitty country.

Did I pass? I know more words.:)

As for all Americans being British, I have to disagree. In my 6-unit complex alone one neighbor is from Africa, another from Mexico, one from China, and two neighbors I'm pretty sure are from another planet entirely. The guy who runs the liquor store down the street is from the middle east and the people who run the best tobacco place around here are Indians. All in America! Can you believe it?!?

Why before 1942? What did the US do in the UK in those fateful 24 days following Pearl Harbour?

The Lend Lease Act is what we did for Britian before tensions even began to mount between the U.S. and Japan, which is what lead up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor... Basically, we lent them equpiment until they could pay us back after the war.... And 1942 was just an early year in World War 2 that came to mind, it probably would have been earlier...

I agree for the most part.

Iceland - Never seen a war.

Sweden - Makes a boatload of money by staying neutral, unlike the Swiss's way of neutrality! ( and Husqvarna rules )

New Zealand - Beautiful Utopia in which this American and his father may move too soon.

The British made the best plane ever made. The concorde

You did indeed help in the world wars, you did not win them you just made them shorter.

No, we basically won them for you...because like he said, if it wasnt for us you would be serving Germany now

You did indeed help in the world wars, you did not win them you just made them shorter.

Lets face it, you would have lost if we hadn't done all in our power to help you... Infact, let me put this another way, there wouldn't have BEEN a World War 2 if it weren't for us... You would have had your clocks cleaned in World War 1....

Iceland - Never seen a war.

They had Vikings, and I think American ships were sunk there by the Germans in the two World Wars.

if by Jeans you mean Denim jeans your wrong for they were invented by levi to replace those flimsy pants people used to wear out in California during the gold rush therefore there american inventions not italien oh and vikings arent people from iceland there Swedes like my ancestors.

The British made the best plane ever made. The concorde

Which is also louder than a room full of Howler Monkies and eats up gas faster than 2,000,000,000 SUVs

"Metric football" fucking "Metric football", for one you just made that phrase up, secondly if it was a real phrase, it would be "Imperial football" of the Imperial British(fuck, ignore that) ENGLISH measurement system. And the only reason you don't play cricket or football is beacause your shit at it.

adlib- Baseball, was invented in England
Damn right I made it up! I should have called it binary football, though. Only game I've ever watched for hours on end, only to have the scores range from 0-0 to 0-1 or 1-0, or 1-1. So much energy expended for so little progress. Almost communist, isn't it?

But that's Great Britain, isn't it? Thousands of years of tradition, unaffected by progress?

No, we basically won them for you...because like he said, if it wasnt for us you would be serving Germany now
Sorry to muscle in on your jingoism here...but I call bullshit on all counts, I ask you to prove it, and I'm ready to back myself up.

I say the Soviets would have won, land lease or not, marched up to the Atlantic, and asked Britain nicely to become a Communist Country, which they would have done.

The British made the best plane ever made. The concorde

HAHAHAHAHAHA! The one that cost nearly a thousand to fly on?

The one that was retired due to ineffeciency?

The one docked alongside the USS Intrepid in NYC?

Try the B-52 heavy bomber. Flying for over thirty years, it helped through Vietnam, as an ariel nuclear platform in the Cold War, and in the Gulf Wars. But this is objective, someone might think that the Mitsubishi Zero was the greatest, etc...

You would have had your clocks cleaned in World War 1....
:rolleyes:

Wrong again bucko, if you look at it strategically... If the Germans washed over Britian and we hadn't entered the war, they would have been able to focus all of their strength on the Eastern Front... Which, there's no doubt in my mind, would have knocked the Soviets back to square one..

:rolleyes:
Prove it.

Read a history book, it would make it painstakingly obvious.

The British made the best plane ever made. The concorde
And you let the French fly it. And look what they did to it. Was that good judgment?

While we're on the subject of jet aircraft, the rest of the world was smart enough to realize that Whittle's centrifugal compressor was inefficient.

And while we're talking about the best plane, I have to claim that it was the SR-71, not the Concorde.

in all actuality it was sheer luck that britain wasnt annihilated in the Battle of Britain, the luftwaffe was bombing airfields successfully controling british forces until 1 bomber got lossed and bombed London this caused a chain reaction that brought about a british win
(look it up)

Okay, now let's keep in mind the time line.

Lend Lease didn't happen until 1941.
The Battle of Britain did not involve the Americans, or even American technology or industrial power. All of that did not start to become a factor (minor as it was) until a year later.

The fact that Britain wasn't crushed then was due to British tenacity and the stupidity of Göring, not US involvement.

The Lend Lease Act is what we did for Britian before tensions even began to mount between the U.S. and Japan, which is what lead up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor... Basically, we lent them equpiment until they could pay us back after the war.... And 1942 was just an early year in World War 2 that came to mind, it probably would have been earlier...
By the way, when are they going to finish paying us back for that?

in all actuality it was sheer luck that britain wasnt annihilated in the british invasion, the luftwaffe was bombing airfields successfully controling british forces until 1 bomber got lossed and bombed London this caused a chain reaction that brought about a british win
(look it up)

Yes, they won the battle of Britian, but the Germans had plenty more that they could have thrown at the British... And who do you think as giving you equipment to win the Battle of Britian? That's right! America did! Lend Lease Act, yet again!

The concorde was indeed expensive, but I but you a jaffa cake that a b-52 couldn't fly over the atlantic in 4 times that of concorde
If speed is the only criteria of best, then the SR-71 wins hands down. Not built in England, but in the Lockheed Skunkworks.

And who the hell refers to cookies as crackers, anyway? You eat crackers with soup; cookies are for snacks.

Read a history book, it would make it painstakingly obvious.
That the Americans entered the war very late, took ages to get any troops to France, then refused to commit them to combat for another few months (more training...) and finally joined in when Germany had just thrown all it had left into the last offensive, held back by Imperial and French forces, with American involvement minor at best?

By the way, when are they going to finish paying us back for that?

Not to mention they need to pay us back for the Marshall Plan as well...

Well, technically, we entered World War 2 pretty late as well, but we all know how that would have turned out if we turned the other cheek... And you're SEVERLY downplaying our involvement in World War 1 as well....

if by Jeans you mean Denim jeans your wrong for they were invented by levi to replace those flimsy pants people used to wear out in California during the gold rush therefore there american inventions not italien oh and vikings arent people from iceland there Swedes like my ancestors.

Ehrm,

Vikings who left Norway beacause of Harald Hárfagri were the first to settle Iceland (Ingólfur Arnarsson). Viking came to Sweden from Norway, the Goths were cool though ;)

If speed is the only criteria of best, then the SR-71 wins hands down. Not built in England, but in the Lockheed Skunkworks.

And who the hell refers to cookies as crackers, anyway? You eat crackers with soup; cookies are for snacks.

Cookies do not exist. Biscuits are for eating, crackers are for cheese and bread goes with soup

And while we're talking about the best plane, I have to claim that it was the SR-71, not the Concorde.
I would nominate the Mig-21...

Z-z-z-z-z...

Well, while were on WWI, I'll come out and say that America should have allied with Germany. We could have averted that Nazi mess and carved out a nice chunk of British possessions, especially Mesopotamia. We wouldn't need a Gulf War either.:p

The fact is that all American are infact, yes you guessed it, British, and not only that they don't even have a history

Ya know for a Limey you act like an ole mountian hawg..all jaw and NO brain. I happen to be 1/2 American Indian Shawnee and Leni/Lenape and 1/2 German. Neither of those races are English or even celtic.
My red ppl have a long history. We invented hypodermic syringes. They were originally made with bones and bird bladders in the stone age. Cahokia (in modern Missouri) was once a thriving city of 50,000 ppl. 80% of the worlds food is based on food that is indgenenous to the Americas and cultivated by NDNs first. Maize, potatoes, turkey, all NDN foods. The USA constitution is based on the treaty of the Iriqouis nations. Oh and lets not forget the code Talkers of Navajo nation who's help was instrumental in winning WW2.
Also tot he list of American inventions and discoveries I'd like to add airplanes, ATM machines, internet, central air conditioning, DC and AC Current power (Tesla was an American when he invented DC, Edison invented AC), Movies, recorded sound, television, blood transfusions (typing and cross matching was discovered by a black American M.D), small pox vaccine ( Small pox vaccine was the worlds first vaccine.) Polio vaccine, (Jonas Sulk I think) Defribrilators,. Well I could go on and on but my point is made you owe your entire life to the USA because without us, you probably wouldn't be here! Think about that next time you need an injection or take a flu vaccine or you or a relative has a heart attack that would've killed them 50 yrs ago.

I believe the best plane should be on the criteria, of getting the most people across the atlantic, away from America, in the most style.

therefor concorde

if by Jeans you mean Denim jeans your wrong for they were invented by levi to replace those flimsy pants people used to wear out in California during the gold rush therefore there american inventions not italien oh and vikings arent people from iceland there Swedes like my ancestors.
Or Danes like mine. But the ancestors of modern Icelanders were in fact Vikings.

Well, technically, we entered World War 2 pretty late as well, but we all know how that would have turned out if we turned the other cheek...
Undelia can probably tell you a story about Pearl Harbour and the real reasons for it.

And you're SEVERLY downplaying our involvement in World War 1 as well....
And I can't do any more than ask you to outline your case.

So you generalise America? Well, how about I generalise Brits.

You are all queer tea-sipping pansies.

But I know that's not true. We are infact using correct English when we say "harbor" or "color", because it is the American dialect. In England, it is incorrect, but, the last time I checked, I'm in America.

Cookies do not exist. Biscuits are for eating, crackers are for cheese and bread goes with soup
Damn, I got that wrong. Biscuits are eaten with sausage gravy. At least we agree on the cracker thing. And soup is best when served in a bread bowl.

But the Blackbird is the all-time most cool airplane, ever. Unless there really is an Aurora.

The fact is that all American are infact, yes you guessed it, British, and not only that they don't even have a history.

Please comment if you agree(non-Americans) or disagree(Americans)

Well actualy you are wrong. Anyone from North America, South America, and Central America can be defined as American. We are not all British. I, for one, am a German. We have French people living here who are *gasp* not British, the Italians are not British, Nor are the Russians, or the Japanese, the Chinese.... Need I continue? Have a wonderful day. :D

I happen to be 1/2 American Indian Shawnee and Leni/Lenape and 1/2 German. Neither of those races are English or even celtic.
And what do you think "English" stands for?

This thread is growing boring. I'm going to conclude with this. Europe, as a whole, needs us a lot more than we need them. Even in the modern world, your nations are militarily weak and your economies are frail. If we Americans were to suddenly stop dealing with Europe, I can gaurntee you now, Europe would be thrown into an utter crisis, while America would only suffer a fairly extensive (but probably short) fall in the Market. You think about that the next time you think about bashing the super power that has stood the test of time..

Ya know for a Limey you act like an ole mountian hawg..all jaw and NO brain. I happen to be 1/2 American Indian Shawnee and Leni/Lenape and 1/2 German. Neither of those races are English or even celtic.
My red ppl have a long history. We invented hypodermic syringes. They were originally made with bones and bird bladders in the stone age. Cahokia (in modern Missouri) was once a thriving city of 50,000 ppl. 80% of the worlds food is based on food that is indgenenous to the Americas and cultivated by NDNs first. Maize, potatoes, turkey, all NDN foods. The USA constitution is based on the treaty of the Iriqouis nations. Oh and lets not forget the code Talkers of Navajo nation who's help was instrumental in winning WW2.
Also tot he list of American inventions and discoveries I'd like to add airplanes, ATM machines, internet, central air conditioning, DC and AC Current power (Tesla was an American when he invented DC, Edison invented AC), Movies, recorded sound, television, blood transfusions (typing and cross matching was discovered by a black American M.D), small pox vaccine ( Small pox vaccine was the worlds first vaccine.) Polio vaccine, (Jonas Sulk I think) Defribrilators,. Well I could go on and on but my point is made you owe your entire life to the USA because without us, you probably wouldn't be here! Think about that next time you need an injection or take a flu vaccine or you or a relative has a heart attack that would've killed them 50 yrs ago.



iNTERNET WAS A BRITISH INVENTION

I believe the best plane should be on the criteria, of getting the most people across the atlantic, away from America, in the most style.

therefor concorde
I think you'd lose that one, too. More of us can afford to ride on the 747 and it can pack a whole lot more of us in, too.

And why would anyone claiming to be civilized eat kidneys?

iNTERNET WAS A BRITISH INVENTION
Was that the British ARPA that invented it?

you say our language makes us stupid look it this way if it wasnt for the small differences you wouldnt notice the fact that there both in english adn that for all purposes made us allies in the WW's, you see way back after we beat king george we voted on what our national language should be and it was extremely close between english and german and if the balance had tipped the other way in all likelyhood everybody would either be dead or part of a Nazi Regime

Oh I wish all of you would just TG each other photos of your penises and be done with it. Wanna say 'Goddamn' something useful? Then Goddamn these fruitless threads that pit strangers at each other's throats.

Goddamn fruitless threads!

I have no British background in me, so I think you need to realize that Americans are multi-cultural. Therefore, we don't need to follow 'proper' English spellings or pronunciations. We have our own dialect that works fine for us.

"Juan, we lost at the Alamo."
"Speak for yourself, Gringo!"

iNTERNET WAS A BRITISH INVENTION

No it wasn't. ARPANET, the ancestor of the Internet was a Department of Defense project developed from the work of J.C.R. Licklider, an American scientist.

This thread is growing boring. I'm going to conclude with this...
And so you completely fail to address either my point about Land Lease and the Battle of Britain, and the fact that US Forces did at no point play a major role in WWI, nor that the Western Front in WWII could be considered a minor theatre.
Well done.

Also, if America never entered the war then the Germans could have focused all of their manpower against the Soviet Union and would have taken Moscow. Britain alone could do jack shit against the Germans in Europe. Perhaps in dusty old Africa, but they wouldn't have made it to Tunisia with out the Americans.

Also, to just sum this all up ( warning I shall post this once a new page starts ) -

This thread is pointless, go back to masturbating and disregard everything else.

Thank you, and have a wonderful jacking.

Exactly.

It would have been a short trip to London for the Germans, and Moscow would have been next.

While I'm on inventions enjoyed by most everyone:

I did, but I'm far from done...:eek:

This is a question to Hansentinople. You seem to be very prud to be English, and even claim all Americans are English, but what is English anyway? I mean, with the Celts killing off the Britons, then the Saxons killing off the Celts, then the Normans.... but you get the idea.

The concorde is 2 feet longer whrn its at top speed then at normal speed.
And you can eat sausages while flying at mach 3

Was that the British ARPA that invented it?
'Twas the British version of Al Gore.

Oh man, this thread kills me! :fluffle:

Tim Berners-Lee the inventor of the internet was British

No, he invented hyperlinks/the World Wide Web, which led to the creation of the modern form of the Internet. The original idea and system was developed by the American ARPA in the 1960's. He improved on it, and could be called the inventor of the "modern" version of the already existing internet.

And who helped design it?
That's right...a German. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Ulrich_Rudel)

Geez, get your facts right! :rolleyes:
You're making a bad impression of British.

And that's why I'm proud to be 1/2 German. :D

you fucking idiot, Im British was a quote from some body else.
That's quite enough from you. Official Warning for flaming and trolling.

You don't seem to grasp the nature of these forums. We run a relatively polite discussion here. I'm sure there are other places on the internet where you can post uninformed drivel and random flames with impunity. Perhaps you should look for one, because you won't be staying here very much longer if you keep this up.
