Why are the American people so bothered by the fact that most of their history relies on someone else?
It all relates back to a banned member named Hypoluxa, maybe you could PM him and ask?Quote:

Thanks for the diagnosis.
BTW, why are Europeans so reluctant to admit that America has played a part in their history?

Because the best army and navy in the world was beaten by some colonists.
Scary how it could happen again :unsure:
Why are Europeans so reluctant to admit that they were imperialists who damaged the world immensly for their urge for control?

You haven't been around long enough to have played a significant part.

It will certainly be a change from your current status of young and irrelevant.
You fall into the same trap as many (not all) of your countrymen. You equate big and wealthy with important.
When you start producing things which enhance the culture I will be impressed. Obviously I consider Kurt Vonnegut to be a German.
Round about this stage somebody usually asks, "Shouldn't this be in the lounge."
No, that is done when the cogent argument ceases. Generally when you join in.Quote:

I guess I'll add delusional to my list of things to aspire to.
Like many of my countrymen, I do long for the grand old days when Scotland reigned supreme.
When was that?
Let me look it up.

Hmmm....apparently that was never.

Who said anything about reigning. This time you equate power with being important.
So big and rich, that makes you important, how American of you.
To quote what I said, perhaps you will do me the courtesy of reading it this time.

Sorry, have a busy day planned being big, powerful and wealthy.Quote:

Good news, you have met that objective.
Enjoy your conspicuous consumerism.
maybe one day we too can contribute our own, hitler, stalin, lenin, caligula, tepes, vatican, ect. to the world and then we will be revelant.
Just a decent car would be okay.
Vatican ? is that a sectarian comment ?
ect ? What does that mean ?
i don't think Scotland is all that great, but before you go putting us down, some of the biggest inventions and discoveries ever were made by Scots people.
Here's just a few:
Adhesive postage stamps
Anaesthetics
Antiseptics

Bakelite
Latent Heat
Colloid Chemistry
Pneumatic Tyres

What do you expect.
The homosexual act is, according to the dogma of the Church, a sin.
It is only natural that they would oppose same sex "marriage".
It was Neil not Hypoluxa- God, I am soooo stupid. Neil was posting under his own name, quite liberally, last night so I was sure Hypo was trying to sneak back in. You must admit that the two do have a certain similarity in errr style of post.
Apart from their Military defeats/victories.Quote:

They'll be "remembered" by everyone.
We don't get much choice in the matter.
Like you said
Nowt else to boast about.

I have now
Thank you nigel
but balamm has a grudge against me.
As I have mentioned before I have a Fiance and her name is Becka.
She registered last night.
But I understand why some people would be so irritated by me as to ask.
Neil
Edit : So balamm you're not that good a moderator after all?
Other minor edits
Becka,
Welcome to the forum.
Your fiancee, Neil, comes off a bit harsh at times.
Please give us your feminine perspective on the old chap, so we can understand him better.
As he has probably told you, you can use "My Controls" to create an avatar. Sure would be nice to see your smiling face there.
Again, welcome.
Becka's more into history than me and I reccomend you dont call her a feminist.
She'll have you for dinner..
But thanks from me.
She get's in soon so you might get a reply from her.
Neil
Surely Fiancee is the female and fiance is the male.
That's weird.Quote:

Becka mentioned that about a week ago and I still picked the wrong one.
Thanks JPaul
Neil.
Excuse my lateness in entering this thread, I beg you, but I have never looked anyway but east at Europe.
Is somebody suffering an inferiority complex?
Or just accusing us of having a superiority complex?
I guess even our inferiority complex is superior, eh?
Read all about it in any newspaper-
This is getting so f**king tired.
BTW-Neil_-
I believe Hobbes attempted to elicit Becka's "feminine" POV, not her "feminist" view; a veritable chasm of difference, there-nor any reason to be upset, yes?

What he means Neil that all these names are registerd under the same IP address.
So what.
still doesn't disprove that balamm has no decorum.
Neil.
They can't all be me as only three are from my household
I logged on as share mad just to test the rules when I was on supervision.
And Neil__ is me and my Fiancee is Becka.
The rest I don't know about because I've never heard of them.

Please balamm abUSE your poewr on some less worthy target.
You've already proven that your no match for me.
