You could have existed without killing them all you know.
America would just be a morally different place to live.

please quote me where I said that... or is it something you are trying to inject into the deliberation?
I said the American saved your butts on more than one occasion just as they have my forefathers and my grandparents... I possibly wouldn't exist at all if it was not fro the Americans.
gotta love em regardless... they're some bad mofos!

I belive most reasonable, calm folks would vote for the latter option...
But that's no fun, is it?

Saw that story, ticked me off! How about the UN starts paying rent, or gets OUT of our country, and either way, gets out of our business? They have no right doing such a thing. besides which, sick to death of people stating that something that happened ages ago means people not even alive then are owed something now for it. That's about as sensible as me traveling to Scotland and demanding back land that was stolen from my ancestors.

Personally i think it's about time that someone brought this issue up and i'm suprised it's never been mentioned before.
Americans are hypocrites, how can they keep calling on China to free Tibet? What gives them the right to say Israel has a right to exist in the middle of palestine?
It's ludicrous when every square inch of land they have has been brutally stolen from Native American Indians. Why shouldn't the americans acknowledge the indians and let a map show that they actually do exist? The next time they start spouting about china or palestine they should think about that.

a Yank is better than a Wanker
1. septic
An American. Rhyming slang "yank" = "septic tank"
Used a lot in the London financial markets.
The septics sit in the big glass offices and do nothing.
2. Septic
Cockney ryhming slang for a yank (american). The whole phrase is 'Septic Tank' - but as with most cockney ryhming slang the first word is used only. The reason for the link is that, like a septic tank nobody likes a filthy stinking american!!!
What are you #ing shooting at me for you filthy #ing septic [snip], im on your side!!!!
3. Septic
Septic is rhyming slang for american.
Septic is short for septic tank, which rhymes with yank....
So If you say you are anti septic, it means you are anti american!
My mate barry is an anti septic!

our joining in both wars had a turning of the outcome, can't deny that... plus our supply ships before Pearl Harbor pissed us off enough to kick some butt. (oh that's right that was a conspiracy too... never happened sry )

en.wikipedia.org...
yous was down to old men and young boys... just as the American-led coalition got the Jerry's down to... then they let the Russians go for some vengeance action into Berlin.
my grandparents got my mom out of there because of all that garbage... that's how I ended up born here, my grandparents got a free ride to the united states via the military and they couldn't love America more whilst they were living. (true patriots)
The American military have alot to do with my very existence more than likely... thank God for that!

and the Native Americans (for they knew also) helped us all plenty with their unbreakable code/language

Outside the US it is used to refer to people from the US in general, whereas within the US it refers to people originating in the northeastern US
The word is a derogatory term used to describe Americans by the Brits, Canadians, Australians and the like; but in the USA used to define an American from the Northern States in the USA, such as New England and the Mid-West. It was most notably used to describe to the Federal Solders and other Northerners by the Confederates during the Civil War Era. Even though some foreigner’s refer to all American’s as Yankees, does not make it so. Call a Southerner a Yankee and he’ll think you’re either just plain dumb or that you are trying to pick a fight. The characteristics often associated with a stereotypical Yankee are shrewdness, thrift, craftiness, rudeness, arrogance, and loudness.
To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats cream pies for breakfast

They have even more cameras than we do. The European Union is trying to mess with Britain because Britain didn't go for the Euro and represents a threat. The Brits practically single-handedly kept our tourism alive after 9-11 and I thank them for that. (of course that was years ago, and maybe they hate us now, but I've met some wonderful Brits who care about how their country is turning into the NWO)
Brits are some of the most civil people around, at least when they go to Disneyworld. I hope they keep standing up to the Euro.edit on 9-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)
