Why England tried to conquer the world.

[Imran Siddiqui]

No, not really... we already had one Civil War, where the Southerners killed people. That one was just the Northerners feeling uppity .

[MikeH]

Look, the only thing Canadians can do is get their man and play Ice Hockey, they can't even beat you Yanks at that any more so you have to give them their one moment of historical glory, otherwise all there'd be is a boring cold wasteland that's designed to make the US look good. And then they'd all be depressed.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I thought they were all depressed?

And like you said, they do have their Hockey .

[MikeH]

And they even pucked that up at the olympics.

I forgot the worst thing! Half of it's full of people who speak French! We didn't kick Napoleon's arse to Elba so that people in places we used to own could be speaking French!

[Q Classic]

well, see, i don't think the french really consider quebecoix (i think that's the spelling) french per se...

it's viewed like how ebonics is viewed in america. almost, but not quite.

so they can't even speak french well.

everybody! point and laugh at the canucks!

[MikeH]

And the point of all this is that those depressed, bad french speaking, crap at ice hockey losers BURNT DOWN YOUR CAPITOL!!! So don't give me all that we lost one war to the crapauds bull****! OK! NOW WHERE IS MY GOD DAMNED BEER!

[Heresson]

it must be English women. I guess they are responsible for homosexualism too... But being English general, I'd send women abroad. Imaginge millions of English monsters invading f.e. Germany... After the news spread out, the war is over, the country is free to take...

[Imran Siddiqui]

And they even pucked that up at the olympics.

Um... the won Gold... so how did they mess that up? It wasn't stylish enough?

And don't tell me you lost only once to the French. William the Conquerer was from Brittany!

[Richelieu]

Maudits anglais!

[MikeH]

The Canadians won the gold? I resent you bringing facts into my rants, I was on a roll there. Now I can't think of any other nations to insult. I can't even really bring myself to do the Aussies.

Adn the Normans weren't French! For the sake of all the gods!

[Venom]

Close enough to French.

[Shi Huangdi]

It's really sad when the finest historical achievement of a nation was a draw in a war. The treaty of ghent was status quo ante bellum. The war of the American Revolution, however, was a clear-cut U.S. victory.

So the scorecard


USA: 1 Win No loss, 1 Draw
Britian/Canada: No Wins, 1 Loss, 1 Draw



USA!

You guys can't even produce a decent boxer or tennis player anymore. You have to rely on us for that.

Ugh - the whaether is exciting really - wind -rain -wind- rain - wind -rain-wind-rain-wind-rain -wind - sunshine and wind -quiet but raining - oh yes there was sun a few days ago, but until I got out of the house it was raining again

And food - dear lord - how much damage a little water can do. I mean French are only on the other side. It is not that you had to conquer the other part of the world to find good cooks.

and women - well there is never enough of them anyway, especially those Asian women won't really rob you when you are with them, unlike the domestic stock .

We pride ourselves on being bad at sport, our entire philosophy is "It's the taking part that counts".
