I hate it when those english/euro folks hijack a thread

[robertlouis]

Also blam the Euros for shakesphere nonsense, silly love song, introducing polio and VD to the Americans, greek as an ass fucking, serial killers, Benny Hill, Swedish singing groups, flying death traps, non-flouradated water, maid rapists, and granny porn. Thanks Euros!!!

Non-flouradated? WTF is that?

We also gave you the language in which you so ungrammatically insult us, by the way......

I would like to thank the Brits for teaching us all about meth mouth before meth was even an issue:

Not that I'm siding with Buck on what appears to be one of his many drunken rants, but about that giving of language thing...................one could say you did although the lesson started while shackled in chains on a slave ship crossing the Atlantic, and failure to accept the gift of said language could - and would often - result in a severe whipping and occasionally death. I'd say that most black people would have chosen to speak their native languages, practice their native religions, etc, had they been given a choice.

You being a Scot likely know that pain as well since I seem to recall the Scots were forced to give up Gaelic under similar circumstances - am I right?

[maaarc]

I agree it"s high time that these pompous euros most especially the Boring Brits be put their places!!!

I mean what did Euro civilization ever give to America except just about everything of real value.

Rule Britannia!

What about Canada, eh?

We never got anything of value from the brits either!

[maaarc]

That's right dderek123! The Brits have invaded 9 outta 10 countries on the face of the earth! and what did the bastards give em? other than education, peace blah blah blah substitute Brits for Romans in this video and that's about it

The Highland Scots endured the Clearances, the proscription of Gaelic and the wearing of the kilt, but I would never dare even to contemplate comparing their sufferings to the atrocity of slavery.

It's also true that we Brits tend to forget that most of the ills that have emanated from the lower 48 originated under our rule as the colonial masters. We do superior smugness rather too well.

And the exploration and colonisation of Canada, for good or ill, was largely down to the French and the Scots. Ironically the only time that the Auld Alliance came together.

Well, yes, it was after the unpleasantness of the Seven Years War. Just think, if Wolfe hadn't taken the Heights of Abraham in 1759 we might all be speaking French and the world would be very different.

You got NOT having to be part of the USA. Ungrateful bastards.

You got NOT having to be part of the USA. Ungrateful bastards.

you mean Canada isn't a part of the United states?

[mellownella]

It is all our fault...As we didn't exactly send the best and the brightest to get the party started in the first place. They had witch trials...and we had erm..oh! The Renaissance!
