I know, and they sold us all scrap metal also, and their oldest ships, great allies of ours! but we did however sacrafice our empire to fight that war to the end, ( though the labour government pledging to go to war with USA again, and squandering our colonies plays a big part!) If Garmany hadn't been so foolish, we'd both be the major superpowers still! Russia is very strong right now, and their numbers, technology, and teh fact they have so much gas and oil supplies means they're a massive power, they also enjoy shoving the Americans around, in Putin, though he isn't officially in power anymore, they have a very wise and dangerous man, who likes nothing better than posturing.
America gave Britain 20 billion in money and supplies during the war and only received 500 million in return over a period of 50 years at only 2% interest. If it wasnt for America, Europe would be a wasteland right now. Hell you tried to kill eachother every 10 years.
I am getting the impression, not only are you anti European, you're also anti white.. Islamic scholars indeed, what next? the most barbaric primitive religion yet bought us out of teh dark ages? nothing to do with the industrial revolution, civilised gentry, the law and policing system set up under the church.... sigh Sorry but it is a fact, if it wasn't for the superpowers of teh day, France and Spain, and the fact we had fought such a long , costly war, which sapped moral and resources out of teh Empire, America would still be British, and there was no such thing as American troops then, very few natives, all British citizens like George Washington. I guess you are one of these people that wear a black badge as an excuse for why Black people have been so limited throughout history, I'd like to see a black band that can compare with the beatles, Lez, Queen, U2, etc etc, They rap well, but even a white guy dominates that.
Piffle... and if it wasn't for America cowering for so long, Europe wouldn't have been a war zone as long as it was.... add to that, if it wasn't for Europe, America would be native and primitive still.
America gave britain 20 billion in arms and supplies but im guessing there wasn't much of a discount in buying in bulk,I bet we paid RRP.Is that 20 bill in 1940's money because Im sure American government would make sure they factored in inflation.
Thats probably the stupidest thing you said. Right next to your idiotic opinions on boxing. Dont you ever get tired of being laughed at guvna! Algebra, Calculus, modern numerical system, market based economy, modern chemistry, University ect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age#Foundations Here you go. History for dumbasses. Most mathematical and scientific texts were translated from Arabic to Latin by European scholars. There would have been know European renassaince without the islamic golden age. Btw, Islam is a religion not a race. So you're blaming a war fought nearly a decade before for the ass whipping you got during the revolution? Stop crying. :yep George Washington wasnt a British citizen. he was a subject as to why he was not allowed advancement in the British military. his primary reason for fighting the war. :rofl:rofl:rofl Jimmie Hendrix is known as the greatest guitar player of all time. Zep, Queen and U2 wouldnt exist without the pioneers of rock and roll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll Again history for dumbies. Blacks grew to disdain rock as white music because of racism. But as you can see with Hendrix and Axel Rose, if blacks do rock it instantly improves. I mean, name a decent rock band today. Green Day lol? No more black musicians to bite off of. Thats not a racist statement its just the truth. John Lennons said it himself. Without black music which he studied in the 50's the Beatles wouldnt exist.
Cowering? americans were just tired of fighting European wars. Americans lost 160,000 soldiers in World War 1, for what? So Europeans could start another hissy fit with eachother 20 years later? I mean, look at European history. Before America became a superpower and seperated you children, when was their ever peace on the continent? And if it wasnt for the Romans, you Brits would still be worshipping rocks and running around naked in blue paint. :yep
Research it. Infact look up the Marshall Plan. Free cash given to Britain, the most given to out of any European nation.
These days we worship football teams and celebs and our women walk around half naked wearing paint on there face.

Without black music which he studied in the 50's the Beatles wouldnt exist.[/quote] Sorry, though you're right in some degrees with regards to maths.... this wasn't your original statement, or at least wasn't in context at all with your statement, Also Greece deserves more credit... but when people throw Wikipedia at me, it becomes very tedious, the same Wikipedia that has calzaghe 47-0... the topic of this thread, please, if you don't actually have any knowledge other than what you read up inbetween posts, theres little point (whoever said Islam was a race btw?) Oh and Jimmy Hendrix wouldn't have got very far without a white invention, so I guess we can state none of them would be where they were without white people... You aren't Islamic are you? I don't think I could bare having debated with someone like that, though teh bile you spout seems to conclude you are. Anway, Calzaghe is the best boxer, America has lost the only war Britain and America fought, Britain contributed just about everything we use today, the greatest minds, actors, poet, authors, musicians, compossers, artists, Dr's, scientsists, war time leaders, best looking etc are mainly all white, with the odd exception scattered here and there.
What do you mean? You'd still be doing your multiplications in Roman numerals if it wasnt for those Arabs and Injuns. What I said is all true. Look it up. Most of the knowledge discovered by the Romans and Greeks were lost in Europe. It was Islamic scholars who translated the Greek texts and kept their knowledge alive. Again, im not a racist, but a realist. Wikipedia is easy access site. Use it as a jumping off point and look it up. Im not lying. Type in Islamic golden age, Islamic inventions in google. There you go. Disprove what i've said. Again why are you making this a racial thing? Jeez. So you are a bigot? Sorry, islam was forced to become more conservative and subvertive when middle east was holocausted by Crusaders and Mongols. Same thing happened to Europe during the dark ages when the church had a totalitarian grip on Europe. If you dont believe Islam was once a great bridger of knowledge. Look up Islamic Spain. Who do you think built Madrid? Toledo? Muslims. Look up Islamic west Africa for instance. Spain during the Algorvid era was the most prosperous and learned country in Europe. Again, disprove what I say. Oh and just because your muslims are causing problems doesnt mean American muslims are. American muslims commit little to no crime and are the top earners in our society. Maybe if you werent such a big bigot they wouldnt act the way they do and feel more accepted eh? A , Kicked your ass in 2 wars and saved you in 1. Look up the battle of New Orleans. Major ass whipping there. Bull****. You are little more then a secondhand country today. France has more influence then you do. Your military is decrepid, your the poorest country in Europe, you have the worst quality of life in Europe, and you are nothing but America's lap dogs. You may have been something 100 years ago. YOu're nothing now.
Sorry but every civilisation has plus points, the Aztecs built incredible buildings, and contributed so much, didn't stop them launching children on to spikes, sacraficing each other and all those nice things. I have to jump straight to the ''kicked your ass in 2 wars'' comment, A: British settlers aided by France, Spain, Holland and Austria isn't losing to America, no matter how you look at it, especially when we ricked losing India to France as a result, India was worth far more than America, so it was a tactical retreat that kept the jewel in the empires crown, not to mention they were trying to take Gibraltor too! so no, America didn't win, and were we not so stretched having the biggest empire of all time, we would have comfortably seen the rebels off. The second war, the American invasion of Canada? how does that constitute as a victory? we see the American General state '' we will take Canada from britain in under a week, and we will start our own empire'' then marching in with 10 armies against the British reseve forces (while the main ones were hammering Napoleon) we gave you a right good thumping, and not content with that, we then took back the capitol, chargrilled the whitehouse with lashings of Yanks, then took a few more states, until, Napoleon was defeated, you came cap in hand begging for a peace treaty! Saving in 1 war? well you did **** all in WW1, and WW2 we saved you, as I stated, you were 2 weeks from withdrawing in teh Atlatic, and we broke the enigma code and halted your massive losses, add to taht we nullified the German airforce single handedly and saved ourselves in the Battle of Britain, you really are farcical. Islam, most barbaric primitive religion around, look how they all act now, burying women and children up to their necks to stone them, throwing stones aat Rocks with evil spirits, wearing kictehn cloth's, as attire, beating women, lashing themselves and children during certain months, Shariah law, pedophilia, including Mohammed who married a 6 yr old at 53... No, im not getting into this, disgusts me. Second hand country? less crime, less poverty, better air quality, better education standards, better clothing, better food, less obsesity better buildings , and yes better quality of life despite that absurd claim, free health care, less pollution... infact we're superior in most aspect than America, the only thing thats dragged us down in 10 yrs is the labour government and immigration. Oh and our army is incompetent blwoing its allies up, hence why we have more kills, and the best intelligence forces around that keep leading us to the Taliban leaders, look at the SBS and SAS, done more than any american forces.
Crusades happened to counter the march of Islam into Europe,and it worked.The Islamic world and their different cultures gave alot to the world especially in maths and science but they havnt really done anything for about 700 years now.Great culture but no more important than the Romans,Greeks or Chinese or even Byzantines or especially the greatest and biggest Empire there ever was the British Empire
We have the forth largest economy in the world, so again he is just stupid, plus take into account our size, we're up against India, China and America, their popullations are vast, again, when you think in WW2 we only had 20 million ppl, it shows how amazing we were, to rule 3/4 of the world with such a small poppulation, to keep producing so many great things, head per head ratio we're light years ahead of everyone.
