America - The Freest Country?

[Strike For The South]

“No, it just means we habor less hate then you. Evidence: Who started both WWs? Germany. Who ended both WWs? AMERICA. “

This doesn’t speak well for your system of education.
Read: Sarajevo, Gavrilo Princip, about WW1.
About the end, well, read all the campaign, and where exactly and when, the US forces were engaged...

About WW2 the Germans did started it. But just for fun have a look of where the Red Army was in June 1944, and examine the D-Day in Normandy with the Russian massive offensive at the same period. You will find it interesting.

Princip? Sounds like a pansy Frenchman. Figures, they always need us to clean up there messes.

The 20th century was about two things. America defending the rest of the wrold from Germany and America defending the rest of the wrold from the USSR.

Boom.

Agreed. And the 21st century will be about two things as well, America defending the rest of the world from Iraq, and America defending the rest of the world from Iran.

The first one is almost finished

We might actually have time to relax this century! lol

So to take a parallel of the early years of the 20 century it was about Britain defending the world and the rest of the century from Iraq in the Arab Revolt of 1920 and the Anglo Invasion of Iran to counter the Russian invasion of 1911.

....and the 19th century was about Texas twice starting and losing a war with Mexico, and twice being rescued by Yanks.

“Typical of you Frenchmen. We save you and yall are ungreatful. Whatever, go eat your snails and make love to women whom don't shave.”
I like when people starts to use this kind of things.
They have nothing else to say…

You've remained far to civil for this debate. In fact the lot of you have. The backroom just isn't the rough and tumble place it used to be

In all honesty I'm a francophile of the highest order and would like nothing more than to stay in Paris for an extended period of time.

I consider Italy and France to be the hieght of food, culture, and women. If Texas wasn't in America I'd apply for citzenship in a heartbeat

2006 called, they want there joke back

[Louis VI the Fat]

I consider Italy and France to be the pinnacle of food, culture, and women.

Why, thank you! That is very kind and most flattering.

However, let's not get caried away. Your post, I'm afraid, is a bit telling of your lack of foreign travel, and of too much glitzy foreign propaganda about dazzling Europe by nationalist internet posters. Reality, unfortunately, is rather less glamorous than you may think: there isn't altogether all that much great food, culture and women in Italy.

[HoreTore]

Nonsense! The food and culture was great!




But the women there should learn english, or heck, just any second language. How are we supposed to communicate with them? Pull our pants down and hope they take the hint?

I dunno man I stayed in Sorrento for a wedding two weeks ago up in Positanau or is it down?

If having no food was the price for the weather thats fine with me.

Sure as a visitor we just talked slow and loudly anyway and complained it was all foreign food anyway.

I think again my solution from the old evil empire works again talk slow and loudly and walk around very conspicously in the noon day sunBut the women there should learn english, or heck, just any second language.

Talking slow and loudly probaly solve that one too

I wish our class of History would have been as simple…
Mine said WW1 USA try to stay out at all cost but have no choice because attack of boat and Zimmerman telegram, WW2 USA try to stay out at all cost but have no choice because attack of Pearl Harbour.

The sinking of the Lusitania among other things off Ireland was a boon to Britain in its attempt to get US in the war.

"The sinking of the Lusitania among other things off Ireland was a boon to Britain in its attempt to get US in the war". Yeap. It was needed because the USA were so keen to rescue the world...

My dear Texan, WW1 was started by a Serbian nationalist who obviously thought murder would solve his problems. You can attest some fault to the Austrian royals who thought the murder of one would justify the murder of many but then you still haven't arrived at Germany and all the other bloodhounds who eagerly marched to the front(or sent others) to show the other nations who's boss.
Nationalism lead to this, it's just as dangerous in the US as it is in Europe and while Iraq arguably should have been freed from Saddam, you went in under a wrong pretext(the nonexistant WMDs) and could have already done the job in 1991 but back then it somehow didn't suit you. Oh yeah, you also started the war the second time around, how you saved anyone from those nonexistant WMDs is a mystery to me. Yeah look, if you were out to save the world then why didn't you dismantle the Iraqi regime when they killed several thousand Kurds or when they killed the Kuwaitis?

And as has been said, the US tried to stay out of WW2 as long as they could, you didn't even prepare for a war, your airforce was almost in shambles when it began.
America usually saves it's own interests, something nationalistic people expect every country to do of course and it does actually give some good results sometimes but you won't get a blanket check as saviour of the world from me anytime soon, last time a german gave a blanket check to someone we got drawn into WW1.

That Englishman speaks truth.

It is really of no use to discuss what/who started world war one, even now it's unclear there are sooooooooooooooooo many theories.

Germany ran out of moustache gel and got angry France still had some.

Does anyone remember how round the time Dubya was going for election and after he got elected reams of newspaper print were written about how America was about to retreat into one of its period of isolationism.

Bush even talked of reevaluating overseas commitments I remember reading a piece over here about how even NATO was at stake even.

Gas how events turned out he ended up more interventionist than Clinton who he castigated as been an interventionist

I thought it had been generally agreed that the Illuminati started both and all wars to hide the Holy Grail from the Freemasons.

This is wrong though. I've played Axis and Allies a few times, the US starts with a fair number of planes.

I've read a rather extensive book about how airplanes were scarce, mostly outdated and not working, especially in the pacific theatre when the war started.

And Banquo, I tried to say that in the second part of the sentence about the nationalists, I do however think that here in the EU we do at least try to further our common interests. It's not really always working yet and especially the english would rather conquer all of europe than show some team spirit and sportsmanship but I hope we'll get there eventually.

In their defense, the younger generation of italians, specially in urban areas, speak good english.
