UnNews talk:My thirteen colonies are better than your entire grand empire
Roflmao! Funny as hell. You really put it into a perspective I never thought of before, but soooo true. --Extra Ordinary 04:43, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- Meh. Corrected - Britain is not England and vice versa. So changed references to Britain - there was no Kingdom of England by then, it was the Kingdom of Great Britain. Otherwise sounds like stupid ignorance.
- Yes. That is, indeed, how it is supposed to sound. The "writer" is indeed in the stereotypical mold of the "stupid American." Apparently we even had them back then. So the Britain/England interchangability is in there to make him sound more idiotic. Also, July Fourth wasn't even when the war was won, it was when the Declaration of Independance was signed, and before any fighting had begun. This article is more of a joke on the writer than it is supposed to be on Britain. Although, I do enjoy making a few anti-Britain jokes. They are sometimes funny. Woody On Fire!

Yah Boo Sux[edit]
A few corrections. At the time of the American Revolution it was common practice to use the name England to represent the whole of Great Britain. At this point in history the British were starting to colonise Australia. They were at war with France, Spain and Russia as well as having the vast majority of their standing army pacifying the entire Indian sub-continent. That's not the American Indians you stole your country off and slaughtered. George Washington's first act as a soldier was to surrender to the French. Admittedly he was then a Brit. He was born there along with nearly all the others who fought alongside him in the Revolution. Interestingly enough there were more Welsh at the Alamo than native born Americans.
So the puny British Empire was defeated by the noble Americans. Less than two hundred years later the Yanks got their asses kicked by the Oompa Loompa's in Vietnam. A nation that is responsible for half the worlds expenditure on arms beaten by a load of child sized midgets despite the extensive use of carpet bombing and the massacre of entire villages. You were there so long you ended up fighting your own children. Bet the CIA wishes they hadn't trained and funded the Viet Minh now. As well as the drug barons of Columbia, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussain. Let's be honest it will eventually turn out that Al Qaeda was their idea.
Winning two world wars? No wonder the Russians hate you so much. At a conservative estimate they lost twenty million lives fighting two thirds of Hitlers forces. Plus Rumanians, Hungarians, Italians, Bulgarians and Finns. By the way it started in 1939. Notably the British were the only ones to see both World Wars all the way through. The Yanks (JFK's gangster father in particular) said they wouldn't last three months. Two years later the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour and Hitler was the one that declared war on them. If the Brits had rolled over like everyone expected then a few things would have happened. Foremost there would have been nowhere to launch an invasion of Europe from. That's not all. May I remind you that after the war the German scientists working for the Americans had a race against the German scientists working for the Russians to see who could get into space first. Further more without the intervention of the Norwegian resistance supported by the British there is every likelihood the Germans would have developed nuclear weapons first. The V3 rocket they would have been stuck on had a range of over three thousand miles. The Russians and Americans used it to send up the first satellites.
Your ignorance of history is understandable despite the fact you have so little of it. Most of it coming from Hollywood which is renowned for its accuracy in portraying fact. When will Iron Man, Wolverine and Batman be showing up in the Middle East, soon I hope. If you actually knew anything about history then the CIA wouldn't keep dropping you in the shit.
Contrary to popular belief Europeans love Americans (All except the white ones. They's nasty racist dudes). Despite the fact that a nation of 300 million consumes 30 percent of the worlds resources. Granted Europe eats up another 30 percent. By the way how does it feel being China's bitch. You probably don't know this but they are owed over a trillion dollars by the good old US of A. Don't worry though because they'll bank roll you some more. Just make sure you keep yourself pretty and buy something sexy to wear. Yeah I know ain't the truth cruel.
Fondest regards from Europe. Britain in particular. You are without doubt the noblest most wonderful nation on the face of the planet. You might get it wrong a lot but you always get there in the end. The truth is that the USA is the best place on earth. By the way love the idea of a seven hundred mile long fence along the border with Mexico to keep them out. Shame the border is almost twice that. Next time you poke fun at the British Empire make it funnier. I mean it is ripe for parody. They had a war aganst China because a Captain Jenkins got his ear torn off in a bar room brawl. When Darwin published his theory of evolution the governor of India used it as an excuse not to send famine aid. Survival of the fittest after all. So twenty million Indians starved while the Empire's grain stores were bursting. Then there's the Irish famine. Not to mention the systematic destruction of my own ancestors culture and language. Come on let's have something more like Family Guy, The Big Bang Theory, American Dad. There are just too many to list. You are the greatest you crazy bastards. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wolfmoon59 (talk • contribs)
- ....Or you could just read my above comment. The writer of this article is supposed to come off as an ignorant ass. What is this anyway, a rival article? You could make this an article. That could be fun. Though, I don't know how half of what your wrote has anything to do with my article at all.... Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 19:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't think his comment was very funny at all. The only thing that made me laugh was the way he spelled colonize with an s. Since when does the letter s sound like a z? --Extra Ordinary 05:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- Note: the Russians lost millions of soldiers because their "strategy" is akin to throwing all of New York at three machine guns; you might lose a shit load of people, but eventually they run out of bullets. Also, the United States did their best to remain neutral, but once provoked, we kicked ass. Remember how World War I was at a standstill until the Americans got there and won the war for you? Remember how we fought against fanatical zealots Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Midway, Leyte Gulf, Tarawa, and all the rest? Yeah. Thought not.
