    you do realise Horetore is Norwegian right?

    Also "How quickly the English ingrates forgot that when America threw off the shackles of King George, it motivated their own government to do the same."

    Through would give it a entirely different meaning... its the Queens English you know, we have to make sure you colonials get it right

    "America through off the shackles" has no meaning, as "through" is usually a preposition but never a verb.

    Anyway, Europeans are anything but insular. Though perhaps the contemporary credit squeeze, unemployment, and reaction against globalization may be contributing to a less-open phase...

    And Poland is more significant to modern Europe than Strike thinks...

    At least count Russia among the "countries that matter", you Western-biased chuckler!

    Poland is a nation of cheap carpenters, nothing more.

    If you view Europe as being like the US, then Europeans would be more insular - but the English go to France - the French got to Germany.

    In the US - you think "America" is a country, not two continents.

    Americans are disgustingly insular because, when they venture out of their own backyard and visit another country, they go on to expect everyone to cater to them and their culture. Unlike us Brits, who...oh hang on.

    Well I'm not touching this with a ten foot pole.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Jesus demanded that you throw away your worldly possessions and follow him. That's rather expensive, isn't?

    Poles are cheap, the opposite of Jesus... Which means they must be the Anti-Christs.

    Yeah, I know him. Kwazimier Polansky, the tallest Pole I've ever seen.

    Can we agree that there are super Poles, who are like Jesuses, who have cool powers and they're constantly battling the other Poles, who are more like Anti-Christs and... Ok, wait, I think I'm onto something here - will someone please call Marvel or DC Comics?
