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.

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!!

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?

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.

yep, and that is why the USA is now called southern Canada, oh that is right
it is NOT called southern Canada but rather the USA; because although you
may have won a battle you LOST that war! 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

Oh, so when you can NOT post an intellectual reply and or can not contribute

with Canada; but I won't be pulled down to your level

Using your logic and crystal ball fantasies, you should be speaking
Vietnamese now.

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?

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.

He must be bored with the drivel in AHM, and has come back for some
mental stimulation.
