Subject: The British defeat in America -
Herc the Merc    5/29/2007 8:27:07 PM
Perhaps one of the few major wars lost by Britain and that too in its own territory with vast ties by blood. How is the American war potrayed in English history books-- a civil war, liberation war, anarchy???? Its perhaps odd that Britain lost America, one of its few territories that it had connections with in bloodline. Even Britain and India parted ways with a handshake and cup of tea. The Yanks broke the tea crates in Boston Harbor and had bloody good fight.

 "I thought you had given up on the UK board after you went and declared that the US only started to appease Hitler after 1939 when the war started and he got on with his extermination campaign proper.......(great move there declaring your true inner feelings?????  )"
 
 Paul if you ever again attempt to call me, or my American Family,a Holocaust supporter, i will take great pride in each and every round that hits you, for each of those Hitler victims that my grand dad had to leave behind,and come back and do what Europe should have done in 1934, not 1944!. My grand dad supported German Democracy, and watched it die, as Hitlers Brownshirts stomped it, and my great grand dad almost sold his sons soul to the devil!. My grand dad was forced to leave his own family, as Hitler brainwashed his own dad into that Aryan Nation!. My grand dad got lucky, and got away, and landed on Ellis Island, before his dad would have sent him to rehab Hitler style. And btw Pauli,my family tree has been traced back 1200 years, how bout you?
 
 "from the above, you clearly do not understand the concept of a constitutional monarchy."
 "when I asked you about Irish ivading Britain you didn't know where the Scots came from... you posted a load of guff to try and back you up on Irish never attacking Britain... it was me who had to point out your lack of knowledge and ability to do research...
are you now claiming that you actually knew the Scotti came from northern Ireland all along????? or just spinning your usual drivel and hoping others had not bothered to read what you oringinally say (good chance since most will have switched you off a long time ago....)...why don't you go up the thread and read what you originanlly said... it makes what you just said either a lie or just more of your inconsitent waffle"
 
  Paul you are indeed a blind bigot indeed!.  I have already proven just what Canada,Australia,Northern Ireland,Scotland,etc,etc really are "Part of the British Empire who must bow to it's Queen!". Funny, that can't be said for me or my flag!. So sorry if i don't want you English sharing anymore then just speech with me,or my nation!. I can't help people like Ehran don't have the guts like us in the USA to replace that Union Jack with a Maple Leaf!.
 
Now about those Scoti,let's see here i posted this about them:
 
 "Ireland inhabited by tribes known as Scoti "  So Paul when you going to show me all those brutal invasions by Ireland after the founding of England? Well the Scots did,however since those Scots came from Ireland, and lived in a land called Scotland,i would say they were just driving out a foreign invader called the Anglo-Saxon!.
 
 And as for an Englishman insulting an American about slavery,concentration camps,prisoner abuse,and use of terror tactics? Well i would suggest you open up your blind eye and see above!. Who are you Pomp English to talk about Hitler,me,or anyone? I would suggest you read my posts above far more carefully friend!. Now pat yourself on the back Mr Bigot!.
                                                               Have A Nice Evening!!!

are you now going to deny that you said that the USA only appeased Hitler from 39-41? (or words to that effect... sure we can just go up the thread to your previous comments for exact wording). now to me this sounds pathetic...
this puts you as supporting his actions by your inaction while the ones you blame for his rise and actions (Britain no doubt due to your Melisms) actually did finally do something about it while the USA tried to stay out of it. 
 
you never retracted your statement even after being shown how stupid it was so I guess that you stood by it and its implications... (I seriously doubt that most other Americans would agree with this stance and would have retracted the obviously wrong statement, or more likely, not have been so stupid as to suggest it in the first place) so I kind of think it is you and not America in general.
 
so, do you now retract it or do you stand by your previous statement that the USA only appeased Hitler from 39-41?????
ie while he was making war and exterminating people..... if you stand by it then I will call you for it.
 
the USA should have stood with Britain and France and declared war in 39. or at least threatened to and that may have averted the war. you cannot blame just Europe for something that the USA was involved in and did little to prevent.

you seem infatuated by the monarchy... but you know nothing about it..... 
 
what do you have to do if you meet the President of the USA???
where in the USA have they replaced a Union Jack(whats a Jack you plonker????) with a Maple Leaf?????
 
 
 
you are avoiding the situation again.... you didn't know that the Scotti came from Ireland. you claimed that the Irish had never attacked Britain... you even claimed to have checked....  this shows 1...  that you didn't know the history before hand and 2 even after researching you didn't know the history....    now you are either an very incompitent researcher or a liar or both.... 
you now try to change from Britain to England (they are the same place... look up the name history.... America was still America before 1776 you digbat).... more trying to change to subject because you have been caught out being inacurate with the facts........ I asked you last time to date the foundation of England, but again... you have not come back on that...
 
hence my pointing out that your knowledge of history being poor. you challenged me on this and I asked you to point out where else you post so I can check how good you are on there...  you have yet to respond...  I take that as you being evasive as usual and probably because you are as poor on those boards as you are here.
 
so where else do you post?
 
 
Paul

  Paul i really grow tired of proving your ignorance of Empire,Nation,or History!
 
  1} I know that Ehran the Expert already stated "His Prime Minister serves for your British Queen" and not "The Real Canadian People". So who still actually holds slaves? 
 
  2}  Well now Paul i don't have to meet our President at all,and if i did? Well i would not bow down,but rather flip him the bird!.
 
 3} Now this one really cracks me up, and once again proves that you are indeed worthy of being crowned  "Clown of The Week"   LOL!.
 
   Oh, and i would suggest you check up on that Anglo-Saxon comment i made in regard to England!. Then you can graduate,and move up to them Normans!.
 
  And as for who is America today?
   
  Well Paul  find me one single nation in "North or South America" who bears its name but us?.
 
                                                       Have A Nice Evening!!!

1 you show no knowledge of our monarchy.
 
2 what is the USA citizens relationship with the president?
 
3 I asked you what flag a Union Jack was and where in the USA is it replaced with a maple leaf?
 
whats your anglo saxon comment?

tony this is the kind of a rant that results in the sysops banning your witless butt.
 

 I can't help people like Ehran don't have the guts like us in the USA to replace that Union Jack with a Maple Leaf!.

 so you claim the us flag is a maple leaf?  doofus take a look at any embassy or consulate and note they fly a maple leaf not a union jack.

Now about those Scoti,let's see here i posted this about them:

Well the Scots did,however since those Scots came from Ireland, and lived in a land called Scotland,i would say they were just driving out a foreign invader called the Anglo-Saxon!.

 irish pirates were quite common through the dark ages.  the scotti landed in wales or england and after a year or two decided to move up to what was to be known as scotland.  oh fyi the people they fought there were the picts etc not angles or saxons.

 
                                                          


paul you are just beating your head on a stone wall talking to tony or at tony rather since he damn rarely actually listens to what you are saying.

what i said was the prime minister serves at the pleasure of her majesty.  there is a very considerable difference between that and what you posted above.

 

  2}  Well now Paul i don't have to meet our President at all,and if i did? Well i would not bow down,but rather flip him the bird!.

 more likely you'd wet yourself at the "honour" of meeting the boob.

  Yes Ehran, i would certainly bow down to a Bush,well since he bowed to your Queen and was Knighted! I think not, and that is flat out an act of treason!. However, i was quite honored to meet Mr Ronald Reagan!. And as for GW? Well i guess he was the best we had in politics since he won 2 terms? So whats this say for the other party? Answer: Well a goat was better then a jack-ass!.
 
  And Ehran, as for what Canada really is? Well now i suppose that statement i made about you being a danger to freedom is proven by Canada!. If you are indeed Free, then i would suggest you remove QE2 as your Head of State,and vote accordingly!. Otherwise Ehran "You are still just a puppet on a foreign string!". India is Free,Canada is not,and thus Ehran "Neither are you!". Now i am a puppet to the puppetmaster called "Uncle Sam" however "Uncle Sam lives in D.C, not London!". So thanks again Ehran, for once again proving my statements about you being "A Real Danger To Freedom!" are indeed correct! LOL!!!.
 
 And as for being banned by sysops? Well i would bet if Pauli called them a holocaust supporter or Nazi "They would feel exactly the same way as my reply!". And actually, if i recall ,most would have been booted for it!. So my calling 2 people who never read a book not called Mein Kampf  "Nazi Book Burners" is indeed quite accurate!. Maybe one day Ehran you will try reading both sides of a page and not burn one of them?. Oh and btw,since you talk about drugs so much, maybe we should try calling in them mounties for a look at yours?

1 what are you waffleing on about now???? Bush knighted, which one? what is an act of treason? and what has this got to do with anything about AWI or W1812??????? btw Clinton got 2 terms as well. and didn't Gore poll more overall votes than Bush when the final counts were tallied????
2 another waffle... what powers do you think that the Queen has in Canada? and how does that make Canada subservent to Britain? btw.....Canada and India are both in the commonwealth.
 
3. I called you out on your ridiculous stance that the USA only appeased Hitler from 39-41... ie when the rest of us had gone to war with him... I doubt any other Americans will agree with you on this????? you claim to appease him when he is out commiting war and genocide .... since you have not backtracked on this claim then I can only assume that you stand by it and standing by it while others were at war with him makes YOU (not America as I don't think you represent the vast majority of your countrymen who would not back you on your claim) pretty much in his camp in my book....  feel free to retract your statement or be prepared to be called on it. and I have not read Mein Kampf but you seem to have done so?
 
 
still waiting on answers.... come on where else do you post??? I need a good laugh....

  Who said India was not a member of the commonwealth? What i said was that QE2 is not the ruler of India,as proven below with this:
 
 
The 'Commonwealth' is a free association of independent nations formerly subject to British imperial government, and maintaining friendly and practical links with the UK. In 1931 the Statute of Westminster established the British Commonwealth of Nations; the adjective 'British' was deleted after WWII. Most of the states granted independence, beginning with India in 1947, chose to be members of the Commonwealth.
