im not an ignorant f*ck, i just confused 2 fighters, so first off f*ck you, but secondly yes after watching that fight i like the hitman as well, hes quick powerful and accurate.

[Jenos Ridan]

thank f*ck for that, i thought someone was going to bullshit me and say america has history.

Open up any history text that covers the last two hundred years and you'll find plenty of referances to events involving America. And if it is an American history text, it would only logically follow that it would be filled with American history.

Are you one of those whiny PC Liberals from some European nation who think that we here are stupid? Sometimes, given how a crappy song like 'Awky Breaky Heart' can take first place over a top notch metal tune, I'll tend to agree. But then, I more often that not, disagree.

[Minister Masket]

America has 200 years of history.
England has well over 1000.
Compared to us, you don't have history.

Oh and for those who said America beat us in the War of Independence, you only won because of the FRENCH. And another European nation I think, might be Spain.
And we won the War of 1812, when you tried to take over Canada for no reason. Bullies!

Anyway, you wouldn't fight us nowadays, you're too in love with our accents and castles.

Lets take a wander over to Iran and Iraq for the most history! Interesting, that

Care for a rematch? Im sure America wouldnt mind, we are already fighting everywhere else in the world. And so what if the French helped, you had the same abilities to build allies and have them aid in the war. Its not Americas fault that we used our resources to win the war.

[MeDeFe]

What resources? *blinks*

[Gold Knight]

What resources? *blinks*

Allies, they are a source we fed off to win the war. Resources are anything that can be used, such as geography, allies, terrain(such as WWII in Russia, feeding the Germans through their harsh winter), and creatable resources (guns, ammo, machinery). They can all be considered resources in a war.

yes, we would not have to do much. your that good at killing your own troops with "friendly fire", it would be a piece of piss.

[MeDeFe]

So... the fact that France and England had been warring pretty much constantly for several 100 years was a US resource?

I'll think about it.

[dyingfetus]

spick?

sorry, mexican boxer, corrales i beleive his name was

Diego Corrales is NASTY!!!

i just passed my regents with a 96 and i didnt finish my DBQ, in other words the rest of my test was perfect f*ck yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Dave, but are you advanced placement!

DIDN'T THINK SO!

I am AP USH, oh yea.

I must say though that Britian and France have much more history, for the mere fact that they have lasted longer. Although within our 200 and some odd years we've been around, we have been pretty busy, except in the 1870's to the 1880's...those were kind of boring times with the exception of the 2nd industrial revolution. Man, my AP test was back in April...how do I remember all of this?

And not to be an American patronizer or anything, but if GB and US had a war right now...we would win, we spend just too much money on military amoung other things. But that would never happen because we are allies.

I completely agree, a war between the US and GB will not happen for a long time if ever. They are great allies and dont back off from wars like the French did. They are the best allies we have in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But dont be ignorant, the US might as well be named the Militant Republic of America

[Minister Masket]

Oh yes. The only reason France allied with America was so that they could gain one up on us. Spain, again for the same reason.

Why exactly should the French have gone to war with Iraq? God help us if countries actually assert their own sovereignty!

Good point, however we have seen this problem with the powder keg that is the middle east for quite some time, apperently the french did not think it wise to do anything, on the other hand i do beleive that it is an impossible fight, just ask the soviets.

They didn't think going to war was the best option. They thought that peaceful diplomatic methods, and actually DISCOVERING some WMDs before we went to war, was the best route. Turns out they were right. Our reason for war turned out wrong and we're entrenched in a quagmire that could last decades. Good for them.

this is also very true, however hypothetical? What if the world does run out of petroleum? Would this in fact start a conflict amoung super powers? Is that the reason why we're fighting right now? please i would like to hear your feed back

yes and theres an article about bush that says a couple months before the war he didnt know the diffrence between a shiate and a kurd, sorry fr the spelling. thus proving we had no idea what we were getting into but now we all now, and we cant back out cause we've fucked it up too badly.

No, because I am hopeful that the world is smart enough to switch to an alternative fuels. A war between super powers to me would make little sense. If anything, people would be invading the oil rich nations in an attempt to recover some sort of fuel. Although, we would have much warning before we ran out. It would not be a sudden thing.

This being said, some nations will have a very tough time switching fuels, especially with the case of America. Amerca consumes 20.5 million barrels a day, more than half of that being from imports, but that being said, America is also 3rd in oil production in the world (under Saudi Arabia and Russia), very little of which is being exported. Simply said, we use a lot of oil. It would have to be a slow transition (which is why we need to start now), that oil companies would not comply with. And since oil companies have the power to control car companies and such, it would be a very difficult, but possible transition. I don't see any wars being started over oil in the future. The war in Iraq had a good amount to do with oil, but not everything. This was, of course, as a result of numerous top officials being involved in the oil business, not because of the loss of oil. If anything, we have gained oil consumption in the 7 or so years.

Read your history, ever hear of Nathaniel Greene? How about the Battle of Saratoga? Ticonderoga? How about the fact that your redcoats fought in ridged lines against gurellias 9 times out of ten (or that they all but wore targets painted on their crests)? Or any number of other facts that show we were winning the war LONG before the French showed up to help.

The War of 1812 was started by you brits when we started siezing our ships and enslaving their crews into your navy. No reason my arse.

And truth betold, I find the mountains here more beautiful. REAL mountains, not those puny hills you guys have.

Don't ask me why they wore red, I agree that t'was a silly colour to wear in battle. I guess it hides the blood....
Actually I do study history, so don't back-sass me with your idiotic statements. And as such I know that you would not have won without your Frenchy friends.
And did I mention hills in any way? I don't think I did....
I said "accents and castles". Please learn to read before totally eembarrasing yourself...

You know nothing if you think we weren't winning before the Battle of Yorktown. And the fact remains, they were fighting against gurellias in rough terrian. No wonder they lost.

And I'll admit, my last sentince was alittle out of context, but the point was I'm not in love with brittan's ancient stone piles and silly accents.
