"worldly people," what do you like about north america? (besides music)

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 09.04.2007, 05:09 AM

I like maple cookies, thanksgiving, pumpkin pie, corn bread, the wildlife, the remaining wilderness, hockey, and the dead US revolutionary leaders (leaders with actual testicles and integrity)

!@#$%! · 09.04.2007, 05:09 AM

free markets, fool.

screamingskull · 09.04.2007, 05:10 AM

!@#$%! · 09.04.2007, 05:15 AM

pbradley · 09.04.2007, 05:16 AM

Also, they have the largest member of the deer family and the strongest carnivore on the planet.

We Brits had the Spitfire to help us keep the krauts at bay, and win the war.

I don't know. Hitler really didn't have a huge desire for England, but after taking over the rest of europe he might have got hungry.

Actually it's pretty much all incorrect. Becuase it was a united effort. Except, like you said, Battle of Britain.

what the brits really had was the russians fucking germany's ass--otherwise it was just a matter of time.

but yeah, the RAF + radar saved the day.

anyway, back to topic.

unlike europeans, americans have less of an "establishment" of taste & social convention-- which on the negative side makes them uncivilized yahoos, but on the positive side makes them freer & more creative than most people on the planet. eventually, adaptation is the key to survival-- hence american's success.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 09.04.2007, 05:55 AM

I don't know, Germany might have been able to win on the Eastern front if the US didn't get involve and put pressure on them in the West.

!@#$%! · 09.04.2007, 05:59 AM

no, it was the failure of barbarossa that fucked germany up for good. well actually it was hitler himself. so i correct myself

LUCKY FOR ENGLAND, HITLER WAS THE CHIEF GERMAN STRATEGIST.

thank fate for incompetent megalomaniacs!
