USA and Canada
Gee....no American takers? OK...where did "Cristoforo Colombo" land on his
2nd and 3rd voyages?? Oh...I forgot. We are all Canadian and British here....that's why. You already know the answers, lol. XX Figgs "Heather" wrote in message ... OK...a bit of trivia here. It baffles the Yanks every time. Where did Columbus land when he *discovered* America? The Yanks have statues and a holiday dedicated to him, but they don't know the answer usually. And no fair peeking on Google, grin. They also don't know we whupped their butts in the War of 1812 (when we were still British) and we chased them back to Washington and burned the White House. Canada Rules!! "John John" wrote in message ... Alias wrote: Again, in which continent is Canada located? The fact that you don't call yourselves "Americans" or "North Americans" is commendable but please look at an atlas. All British, French, Spanish, etc. are also Europeans and you are an American. With that logic then people in the Middle East should be called Asians? John |

"Heather" wrote in message ... "Sugien" wrote in message .. . "Anon" Spamfree wrote in message ... Just sit back and HONESTLY ask your self if you would want to live in a world without the USA? Yes. The world would quite possibly be a damn site better place without the US or at least its leaders but then again we will never know will we. The US has no respect for the individual or their lives. Retaining the death penalty as it does and openly practising torture and the denial of international law suggests the US, or its authorities, is at best a primitive society and at worst a nation of savages. No; because at the very least Hitler and most likely also the emperor of Japan would now be in charge if it were not for the USA Hello!!! You didn't even enter into WW2 until 1942, so don't give me that crap!! While our guys were dying in battle for 2.5 years, the US ignored the whole thing......until you got creamed at Pearl Harbour!! I get so sick of hearing that if it wasn't for the US, we would be speaking German!! You only get into wars for monetary gain.....not out of caring about the rest of the world. The rest of the world tries to keep the peace, not start wars. That does not change the fact that if there were no USA then Germany would have won. |

Even the tiniest of countries military can win a battle or skirmish now and then; but winning the war is another thing. I stand by the statement that if it were not for the USA, all of you Canadians would be speaking German as most likely would the rest of the world. The USA WON WW2, and maybe that is what sticks in you crawl and makes you PO'ed; because we DID WIN WW2 and you and the rest of the world knows that no matter how much you say different it does NOT make it so |

"Heather" wrote in message ... "NunYa" wrote in message groups.com... Just sit back and HONESTLY ask your self if you would want to live in a world without the USA? and remember I said honestly without any nationalistic pride or what ever. Just think what shape the rest of the world would be in had the USA never been founded? Where would I start? Slavery would have been abolished in 1834, along with the rest of the world...but no, the USA didn't abolish it till 1865 (or was that 1965). I do not believe in Slavery but! slavery as is thought by most is a myth; because were it not for slavers selling the slaves the slaves would be DEAD!!. Until the tribes started selling their captives into slavery to be taken out side of their country, they routinely killed their captives until the slave ships showed them they could trade them for more weapons to go and attack more of their country men. The USA did NOT invent slavery; but admitted they did continue with it far too long The USA sat back until Feb. of 1942 while the rest of the us fought in WW2 from September of 1939. Yes....we were in England at the very beginning and there was a squadron of American pilots who flew out of Canada because they couldn't do so under the American flag. But without the USA, Hitler would have won and you would now not have Canada or ANY freedom what so ever; because Germany was very close to perfecting their atomic bomb and would have blasted mankind back into the stone age, well all except for Germany. So thank the USA for your freedom; but of course you will not; because the USA is the evil empire until some nation try's to take over the world and then we are the good guy until we save everyone's ars. No war in Vietnam.... Vietnam had been at war for HUNDREDS of years before the USA got there, before the USA the French were there. The USA still lost the war and you aren't speaking Vietnamese. No war in Iraq..... Maybe not; but if it were not for the USA Iraq would be the very least of the worlds problems; because as I already said, Germany would be ruling the world right now You don't know that. You cannot know that. It didn't happen. No one can predict what "would have happened". A myriad of factors could have come into play. Even if true, it doesn't justify the way the USA is behaving nowadays at home or abroad. No Yahoo in Washington who thinks he has a direct line to God, who is *saving the world from terrorists*. Even tho the terrorists came from Afghanistan, not Iraq. Guess he skipped geography in high school. Along with his National Guard duties. Feel free to add to this list, coz I have laundry to do which takes precedence over arguing with a Dimbulb!! You just don't get it do you! Without the good ole US of A, you would NOT HAVE A COUNTRY to sit in and spout trash against what is most likely the best country on earth. How long have you had this delusion that you can say with any accuracy what "would have happened"? The USA comes to the aid of everyone and then when their troubles are over their countrymen stab us in the back and call us the ugly Americans. You would not have computers, (American invention) Um, Alan Turing is generally credited with the fact that we have computers and he was born in London. Oops. you would not have the Internet, Crystal balling again, eh? What makes you think no one else could have figured it out? well the list goes one and one; Yeah, and an Italian invented the phone ... not Bell. Next thing you know, you'll say the Pizza was invented in New York City. etc. but the biggest thing, without the USA, Germany may have won the first world war and certainly would have won the second and then no one here or any where else would be having any talk on line; because Hitler would not allow it. Gosh, if you can predict with accuracy what would have happened, can you tell us all what the next power ball lottery number will be? Do you do Kentucky Derbys? How about the next idiot that wins the US presidency? Alias |

Actually, had there not been snow and very cold weather in Germany's campaign towards Moscow, Germany would have won the war. You can thank the Russians that you weren't creamed by the Germans.
