iSuperiority Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Actually you sent a large portion of your force as well as German forces, you were incapable however of maintaining it over such a long distance as you had yet to attain a powerful navy (French dominated this area at this period, even your army had to yet to truly modernise until the 19th century). You used commanders who were incredibly certain the war was lost and most importantly of all you believed you would receive support from locals to fight for you. Trust me, I did this for uni We didn't have a powerful Navy? Are you serious bro. Rule Britania ring any bells? It was precisely because we had an amazing Navy that we were able to build the worlds most prolific Empire to date, and keep it (mostly), when a great deal of the civilised world, and the uncivilised, were fighting us all at once.

Trust me, I did this for uni You are right in part, but when the americans made a move on canada we showed them our true strength because we could focus it at that point in time after finishing business in other parts of the world. History is fascinating to me too. Its good to see an American learning about Europeans for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfslain Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Is that a reference to you only being able to repel us and gain independence because the French threw their full military might behind you? My god, an American that knows the could not of beaten us without the French. A pleasure to meet you Sir. And while i, an Englishman, now accept American is a Language, the question is, why make a poor version of an already decent language? December 21, 1620.

Xerda Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I agree with the OP it is rather stupid why the EU people have to go by US times in truth it is being racist in its own way. There are so many US made things that do not tailor for the EU when it is a known fact alot of gaming money comes from the EU population but yet they do not acknowledge us. Example Xbox live on the original Xbox use to tailor server connections to go by best host be it EU or US.. the US did not like this because we have better connections than them so with the new Xbox live on the 360 MS changed the way its server connections work by making it pick the best connection or if there is US people in the room the best US connection. It is rare and very unlikely for an EU to get there host connection over someone from the US. When ever a film is released who gets it first US.. a game who gets it first US, unless the game has a midnight sale or/and is made in japan. US always get priority and this game in whole and the EGA is a good example of this only today as he started updating what time the waves where done for the EU times yestarday they where all US times. The server list bugged and all EU servers where N/A but the US servers where fine and dandy, patching is released by US times the EGA invites start by US times. I said it before but frankly it is in its own sence racist to the EU community even tho BW have a EU HQ everything is running US. All we EU people ask BW is that we get treated the same as the US we are all the same and we all paid the same so we all deserve the same Thank you for getting back on track. I was starting to worry!

Elfslain Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Your point being that you are us? As in, Americans are English Colonists? Not all English Colonists were English, nor were all colonists English Colonists. But those of us whose Ancestors came across the ocean from England to disembark in the cold and the snow and the rain knew damn well we weren't going back. My point is that our dialect is a response to the contributing factors of British sweat, and varying degrees of isolation from the rest of the 'civilized' world for hundreds of years. It would take the descendants of ******es who thought they could survive without the rest of their species to become Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Around the time or shortly there after, of your independence). It didn't just pop up for a few decades... I'm aware of when the song was created. It was retrospective centuries of Navel superiority.

It would take the descendants of ******es who thought they could survive without the rest of their species to become Americans. Ofcourse not all colonists were English. But you've linked a date associated with the settling of an English colony (New Plymouth). And while your blood isn't all English, your legal system, education system, governing system, predominant religion and primary language are (or based on). Isolation from the civilised world has shaped your version of English? Care to elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
