ah. perhaps i mistook what he was saying.  I figured he meant we would have to 'learn German' because we would be dealing with a German 'superpower' if they had succeded in taking over Europe...
but i guess that doesn't make sense, anyways...

You are taking offense at the notion that we 'didn't care' about them being invaded by Germany?
Although i think that is patently false, i figure that we did do what we did for our own self interest.  In the end, though, it doesn't change the fact that what we did do in our self interest was save their asses by laying ours on the line.
so yeah.
i can understand the ear fucking...

If we were acting strictly in our own self-interest, we would simply have supplied Russia and England via lend-lease and concentrated on kicking Japan's ass.  We'd have made more money.

Hell, our strictest self-interest would have had us supplying Germany, so the Nazis and Soviets could wear themselves down to a nub for our profit, over about a 10 year period.

Revisionism works both ways, you know?  You have one pack of retards saying the holocaust never happened (even though it is the most documented event in human history), and now it's in fashion to reduce the few GOOD things to a grey mediocrity, just to show how jaded and tragically hip we all are.

Both are lies.

just to go back a little. I still say bollocks. I actually said it when i read that no-one anywhere says it.

And to be fair, the english language has a lot of bits of random european words mixed in. But it's alright because we owned it all when the language was invented.

And to those who would bring up the argument...YES OF COURSE YOU HELPED IN WWII. YOUR COUNTRY IS 50 TIMES THE FUCKING SIZE. Not to mention that you only helped because you didn't want to have to learn a whole new language if you had lost. You weren't that bothered if we'd have been speaking German. It was the nagging fear that you'd have to learn German if "The Allies" had lost.


hey if you're so awesome. answer me this.

what colour are your carrots?

ANSWER THE QUESTION. WHAT. FUCKIGN. COLOUR.

that maneuver is referred to by professionals as "crop-dusting".

unless it lasts particularly long, in which case it is known as "sky-writing".

Biologically, carrot roots can be any colour between white, yellow, orange, brown, purple and red. During the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, we dominated the global carrot market with cultivated orange carrots as a tribute to the House of Orange.

But it's also pretty funny without the explanation.

I did not mean that you would speaking german because the nazis would have invaded america. I was reversing the traditional insult that americans use that we would be speaking german if it wasn't for the US getting involved.

I am not saying that we don't use furniture from other countries, or import food, or watch "foreign" tv shows.  I wasn't implying that anyone is better than anyone for anything. I was just saying... English is from England. If you don't like it, change it. There are hundreds of dialectic differences depending on where you are in the UK, so why not make up whatever language you want?

I honestly don't know why you're getting in such a piss about spelling and grammar, via WWII and cultural differences.
