I can trace my ancestors to Switzerland.. so wat?

I don't know why you want to get all personal up in here. obviously weird british mental issues imo.

............

so you sum cheesehead?

tell me what "we" means then

Nah, but I do love the chocolates.

hehe =)


so enough of that discussing, have to watch some solid british basketball... phx vs LA

LOL at the belief that any $1 SnG player is much better than another.

lol at that

HAD is the key word.

It has been a long time since I had history class, but my understanding is that Britain would be speaking German if we didn't bail you out of WWII

I should be insulted by that, but since I plan to be playing $5 soon, and $10 by the end of the year (what can a say, I'm a tortoise, not a hare), I'll let it go.

We have exploded more nuclear bombs in our country than most contries have. We can shoot down satellites, too.

lol. actually if it wasn't for Britain it is very likely Americans would be speaking German but obv. you're not a History major.

According to a recent PBS documentatry, England also was also once just one holdout province (or whatever they had in England at that time) from speaking Danish.

This is pretty much the long and short of it... you can make arguments about this person having this idea here or there, but you can't change that cars, planes, poker, or the internet started in the states as we recognize them today. Yes, poker and engines (etc) have roots elsewhere, but at some point it's a brand new thing and you have to give credit where due.

I have degrees in both history and economics, and I would love to hear you elaborate on this.

In my opinion, I don't believe WW2 would have been won by the allies without the contributions of both of these countries. But yes, please share...

may all be true, but:

so what?

Lol how could this thread ever get 100+ posts, somehow OP did a good job

the point is in there i promise

haha

just be polemic and start a "america suxx" discussion and it will even beat
"omg omg omg someone invited me to there house"


haha

Please explain this. I need a good laugh.

Obviously alternative histories are highly speculative, however, if on May 28 1940 Britain hadn't decided to fight on vs the Germans and negotiated, the Germans would have had no real opposition in Europe + would have the resources of Britain under its control. Without Britain's disruption of German attempts to create nuclear missiles, both Germany and America would have possessed the nuke, whilst the Germans may also have created the Sonnengewehr. With increased resources and less fronts to worry about Germany and its Allies would have likely captured Russia and China, before eventually capturing America.

Alternatively.. if events had gone as Hitler planned, Britain hadn't attempted to stop Nazi expansion in Europe and merely a European War had broken out, Germany would had the time to do what Hitler originally desired and build Germany up until the 1970s when a final battle for World Supremacy would take place between the US, Britain and the Germans etc.

Makes sense..... if you're british.

I'm going to have to assume your comprehension levels are quite low.

...? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Que Pasa?



Brits on the comeback reunion?
