lap dancing teacher more qualified than ben to teach children

History is written by the victors, ergo Canada has no history.

Uh, if there was no threat to America, then that speaks volumes about the 'significance to America.'

Only you could find the capital being burned down 'insignificant'.

Most Americans consider it a war between Americans.

Ah so, a war between two foreign countries in a foreign country is an invasion on American soil, but tens of thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers invading each others territory isn't. Right...

If you can point out a larger invasion on American soil, please do. You've tried once and got smacked down.

It's really cute that you think your childish babbling constitutes a smack down.

They did for Waterloo. A battle that they considered significant.

Well done, you've just repeated back to me something I told you just a few posts ago.

I don't have strong opinions about the war of 1812

[molly bloom]

Just please stop making any references to history as it pertains to the United States. You know nothing.

Pax- you're giving him way too much credit there.

I need you to stop teaching history in the U.S.A. please. I don't know what you were taught in Canada, but in the U.S. we were taught that there were reasons why we went to war with Great Britain.

Yeah, there's a reason - Napoleon. Who just happened to be in a massive war with England for the previous decade at the same time.

You know nothing.

There's a reason why France and America were BFF in the early days. I'd be remiss if I didn't teach it. Same with the Louisiana Purchase.

Other than fueling a great propaganda effort (and the foundation of an anthem), militarily, it was wholly inconsequential.

Do you consider the Union army marching on the confederacy an 'invasion?'

It's really cute that you think your childish babbling constitutes a smack down.

I'm still waiting for an example.

Do you consider the Union army marching on the confederacy an 'invasion?'

Obviously. Especially so given that you're so keen to count the Mexican army attacking rebels in a breakaway Mexican state as an invasion.

I'm still waiting for an example.

No, you're just unwilling to accept that you were blatantly wrong. This is nothing new.

[kentonio]

Just realized I'm wasting perfectly good breathing time talking to you. Despite you being wrong about everything, that means I still lose.

[self biased]

i was wondering why this thread was still on the front page. i probably could have just assumed that someone was arguing with ben about something, couldn't i?

Probably. But there was a slim chance that it had morphed into a random discussion of something bizarre, so it didn't hurt to click.

EDIT:That worked! Hey, I found a more aggravating gimmick than yours! Thanks, Codecademy!

[DaShi]

How ironic.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

No way! You picked a different font????????????????????

Sadly they don't have wingdings.

[Ben Kenobi]

Obviously.

Either you believe that the Confederacy had the larger armies, or you're a terrible liar.

There's already one great big one in this forum, who wrote the post immediately following yours.
