Americans going on holiday

i dont by any means think that we would have won the war had america not come to our aid.

Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?

(Picture me dancing like Alfie Doolittle, because that's what I'm doing)

[Chao.]

i do recall britain being the only nation to stand alone against the might of the german war machine

That's exactly what you said earlier, before you decided to come back and specify dates.

[genocidal]

But they are. Europe would be called Germany or "Third Reich" were it not for the US. Sit, Brit.

i don't care what nationality this searcher dude is, he's pretty much a shithead

[thesearcher]

and i just dont care what you think, look at us, not caring, aint we awesome.

[Colossos]

This argument is retarded, and I'm having a hard time putting how I feel about this into words, so bear with me.

Obviously, as a Brit, I feel a certain alliegance to Britain, and sometimes I do take personal offence when someone attacks Brits.

However, that's not to say I don't respect their points (such as the US WW2 thing) or their countries. I respect and like people from all countries.

But that's somewhat irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that this is a fight on an internet forum, and someone has clearly taken offence at someone else's joke, and it's escalated into some huge drama.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that people who get offended by shit on a forum should get off their high horse and go outside.

Goddamn I suck at putting stuff into words.

Also, I'm not sure where this fits in, but LB you're so wise that I love you and want to have your babies.

do you all take offence so easily that you think my replying to this thread means i must be really angry and have taken offence? i havent, if people would read a history book and see what im saying is not an opinion, but historical fact, then i wouldnt need to keep saying it.

get off my nuts.

i havent denied that america helped our arses, all im saying is we werent doing to badly to be the only country standing against germany, simple as. the only reason im still replying to this shit is im fed up off hearing americans bring out the ww2 card whenever they are in some sort of argument with a british person.

[Da1andonly]

I take offense when you don't seem to understand the difference in your and you're. :-)

[Colossos]

Any country could have stood alone against Germany, until Germany beat them, so I don't see the fact that it was us being particularly relevant, because Germany would have beaten us.

Thanks 'mate' (lol amirite?) but I think Squeezer or PH have dibs on my sperm-spawn. The mate thing was put there to razzle the searcher, no worries man.

More like you've been gloating about england from page 1, while every american except 404 has replied with sarcastic comments, and I'm pretty sure 404 doesn't care either way as well.

we did single handedly change the tide of the war, before us no country had yet withstood the german war machine.

facetious, your petty.

Irony alert, irony alert!!

Shhh, britan fought off everything including godzilla utilizing a cup of tea, goold ol' british fighting spirit and a handful of determination!

What we have learnt from this thread:

thesearcher hasn't realised the concept of a hollow victory - when on paper it looks like you've won but everyone knows that if the opposition (nazis) had more time (about 2-3 months) we would have been fucked. Had America not stepped in when it did, and the entirity of Europe had fallen to the Nazis, they wouldn't have been so confident in the White House

[Bilbo]

The nazis got fucked the second they decided that attacking the soviet union was a great idea.

[genocidal]

Well they did get them to surrender.
