And as usual, i re-iterate that i am not french. I enjoy poking fun at

them
too y'know. And had it not been for a bunch of us brits, you would have

been
most likely speaking german right now.


Had it not been for the Brits AND the Russians. Get your facts straight.
And Americans speaking German? I think not. How would Germany mounted a
successful invasion of America from across the Atlantic? True, the Brits
stopped the Germans from invading their island, but they lacked the manpower
and industrial might needed to pull off a successful invasion and liberation
of France, let alone trying to conquer Germany. Do a Google search on
"Dunkirk." And come to think of it, as an isolated island, where did
Britian get their extra food, raw materials, and ammunition from... I wonder
who... um, lets see... And to whom did they turn to for ships when the
German U-boats isolated them in the first place... hmm let's see, not
France... Not the USSR... hmm...

Americans ASSISTED with WW2 - but


Incorrect. The majority of forces from D-day on were American. The
majority of battles won and territory taken on the Western front were by
American troops. And don't forget that America was fighting on two fronts.
That's not a slight against the Brits, they put up a great fight. The
courage and willpower displayed by the English people during the Battle of
Britian will always remain one of the great moments in modern human history.
But to say America assisted is like calling the Atlantic a "little pond."

until 1942, they werent overly interested, what with being isolationist

and
all...


Incorrect again. Do a Google search on "lend lease." You flunk history
class. You've been living in France too long. Get out while you still can!
lol

Good, because that's all you Canadians can do. I hope it's enough for

you.

All of our buildings are still standing... Yours?


Canada has buildings?

There probably wouldn't even be an internet or computers if it weren't for
the United States. There probably wouldn't be a helluva lotta things.

Sure as hell doesn't take long for a well meaning post to get wrecked by
idiots like Daemon Rose & neopolaris, not to mention SST, the originator,

Return everything not originally American and you're left with a few Native
Americans (The ones left that the 'other' Americans haven't finished off
yet).

I think it would look good back in France.




or don't you know your history?


His-to-ry?? explain? (remember that this is a nation who is younger than
most houses in Europe and whos cultures age can be measured in small
fractions of other cultures around the world).

I love to see all the non-Americans come out in protest of a little
patriotism. its funny as hell and sad at the same time.


I think you'll find that most people complains about it beeing a waste of
bandwidth and totaly off-topic. This is (supposed to be) a non-political
newsgroup discussing computer hardware, not a forum for discussing what
country is better than what other or whose ideals are the purest or
whatever...
Crossposting and off-topic postings are bad nettiquette and will always draw
complaints, the hostile retorts against anyone daring to speak up doesn't
improve the situation...

Bite me. I'm just having some fun. If they hate "US" there is
nothing anyone can do. It's all predisposed. It's liberal crybabies
like you that give this great nation a black eye all the damned time
anyways.


Must we all fully embrace the 'american way' and love this 'great nation'?
How come that if you don't fully agree you're badged as a america hater?
Lack of love is not the same as hate, neither is lack of interest in the
matter.
And what's with the "Shut up becouse I'm stronger and got military training"
agianst those who dissagree? Not very mature is it?
