For a moment there I thought you were being one of those, sports are use to brainwash the masses and it's all a conspiracy route.
Repetition is the key too success.
That's where the lols appear come in
What is the general consensus on Scottish independence? And when i say "general consensus" i mean what do the British residents think is going to happen?
I'm not British, but let them vote on it.
All I can say is that I'll be missing that field of blue on Britain's flag.
Let the Scots decide, but I think it would be awful, just awful. To quote Abraham Lincoln, we should keep the Union together.
Most Brits are against it, I think.
Abraham Lincoln was a moron. Sure he kept the Union together, but at a high cost.
Do..... Not.... Get.... Me..... Started.
Negative taxation is winrar.
Hm?
we would keep the blue, it represents Scottish flag and also st Andrew so we could always say its for him.
also its 11/9 on Thursday, do you yanks do a 2 minuet silence for that?
Just thought I'd point out that there's a massive difference between a minute and a minuet.
No. We all know the religious finatics are stupid and do really stupid things that result in them being hated.
so you dont do anything? i though you yanks where all patriotic and stuff, the world makes jokes and deals with stuff like the London bombings 11/9...ect but you guys would kill a guy in the street for doing something like that.
"you guys"
yeah, you guys.
Who is "you guys?"
you yanks, thought it was pretty clear.
I don't speak British.
i speak English, what do you speak?
murican
The Most Amazing Language of 'Murican.
ah, the butchers of English.
If it weren't for us, you guys wouldn't have a word for corn.
Think about that.
i dont like corn...
So?
so, no word for corn doesn't bother me.
That's not the point. Point is, the Americas have so many things that generally don't naturally exist in Europe, and therefore American items got added to the European vocabulary.
Also, I have better grammar than you. Just sayin'.
me personally probably because im Greek and dyslexic , but as a nation, no, just no.
Ooh, Greek.
Greek is one of those languages I want to learn some day.
Dunno why.
you and me both, my whole family speaks it, even my mum(shes not greek), all but me i get the basics but...i dunno.
it is a really awesome language though.
A couple of things.
On 9/11, the American people do not have an official observance. Flags are flown at half staff, many decorate, and most religious institutions hold an observance.
The term "Yanks" is one of my favorite. I absolutely adore it when historically illiterate masses uses words like they know the meaning. I sir, am not Dutch.
A very large amount of people in America fun of 9/11. I also enjoy your condescending tone in which you attempt to display European dominance over America in a desperate attempt to maintain some sort of psychological maintenance after the rise of North American Dominance over the Fall of Empires in Europe.
By the way, I know some French people that still cry over the Bastille, but I guess people only have sentient emotions in America, right?
Not calling you out, Hermes. Just more than a little miffed. That is a touchy topic.
I was going to type something about his comments, but it looks like someone has already created a very intelligent post regarding his posts. Thanks humphy.
Yankee=/= Dutch
The origin of the term is uncertain. In 1758, British General James Wolfe made the earliest recorded use of the word Yankee to refer to people from what was to become the United States, referring to the New England soldiers under his command as Yankees: "I can afford you two companies of Yankees, and the more because they are better for ranging and scouting than either work or vigilance"
-Wikipedia Article on the term Yankee
Yankee (n.)(adj.)
1683, a name applied disparagingly to Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) by English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke, literally "Little John," diminutive of common personal name Jan; or it may be from Jan Kes familiar form of "John Cornelius," or perhaps an alteration of Jan Kees, dialectal variant of Jan Kaas, literally "John Cheese," the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen.
-[Century Dictionary, 1902] A.K.A. Not Wikipedia
The term Yankee was documented as a derogatory term in the late 1680's/early 1690's. It was used later by the English for Americans through their association with early colonials.

I trust humpy source more. Sorry tta.
But I thought that Yankee meant penn upwards to Maine and the term for Virginia to Georgia was Dixie.
That was a later meaning that existed in the 1790's but came to prominence in the 1840's/1850's.
So what part of the us do you guys prefer? New England or Dixieland.
I prefer Dixieland I prefer dixie because I love my economics over my social beliefs.
And I prefer warmth.
Also pev you need to sing the anthem of the region with that accent yo.
I like the Midwest and the mid South. I can live with the Northern Central (Iowa, Montana, Wyoming).
Neither. I love Michigan. Michigan is buetiful with it's forests and abundant resources (except for Detroit, we can just cut that sliver out for now).
NORTH DAKOTA
But downtown is great, and it's the quickest way to Windsor.
Time to start a debate on the Civil War.
The north is superior. Except for it's economic leftism.
Been there done that.
The north the industrial heart (well used to be), but still would defeat the south in war.
spoiler, everyone sucks
It's really too bad
Down with both sides! We want nothing! *everyone starts chanting 'nothing'*
In my dreams, Communism became popular during the 30's (regardless of American propaganda) and we all live in a primaloy communist, but voluntary anarchist america.
Why what ever do you mean
You know I could say something about the Civil War, but we have slaved over it enough.
Yeah, it really tends to divide the region, like a house that cannot stand
I mean, we just all need to be in union and move on.
Can't we just come to some kind of compromise and make some line not to cross?
I agree with the south on states rights, but not on slavery. Like Robert E. Lee.
They could compromise with abolishing slavery yet having states rights.
It would never have worked. The south felt that abolishing slavery was the ultimate infringement of states rights.
Yeah, I guess. But after the war states rights could have been kept, as long as they didn't infringe on peoples rights.
Personally, we should have left the south go. However, Lincoln wanted to keep the union together because of the threat of another invasion from the English. England almost entered the war and sided with the south. Had this happened, the North would have most likely lost the war.
And, the resources in the south were important. The money they brought in was huge, but that's the only thing that the south had going for themselves, cash crops.
Let the rustling of the jimmies commence
The industrialized north actually made about four times more than the south did, but the north needed the resources to keep creating textiles, being as that the transported these textiles by ship.
I supported the South. Sorry but Slaves back then was States Rights as stated by the constitution. The South had every right to leave and should have been allowed to. I wish the Union Would've lost.
Well you heard it here first folks. TTA hates black people
I didn't say that!
I said nothing of the sort
Post self-deleted by Libertarian Hero.
Yeah....
Back in the 1860s the Feds had no right to intervene in the Slavery stuff ss it wasn't constitutional. Not saying I supported slaves because I didn't but States Rights ALWAYS COME BEFORE FEDERAL POWER.

....What?

They had no right to intervene with what the people of my state wanted. My state did what my states people wanted. Screw slavery for a moment. And look at what was wrong. The Feds were stepping over the constitution and then add in it into the constitution.
Someone ipianed!
I agree with Libertarian Hero. Actually slavery was an infringement of the Constitution because of rights issues. We The People of the United States. Not we the White Male people of the United States.
Theu could have rights. If they bought em.
You have to understand. I'm the guy that wants to wake up and see The Southern American Nation as well as 3 other new countries.
You are not touching my United States boy! Except maybe California.
For reference.
Southern AMERICAN Nation (CSA)
Free Nations of America (Some nations in Union)
USA (Any states)
Deseret (Mormonism)
Alaska
Hawaii
Texas
Western America.
No! No no no no! You Mormon Nationalist!
Deseret must split from the Union!
Viva La Mormons!
Not if I have anything to say about it. We will start another civil war and annihilate you!
Mormon Civil War Part 2
Utah
Idaho
Various Mormon Militias
Various State's Rights Militias
Various Radical Religious Freedom Militias
Vs. America
We would still annihilate you.
Deseret was a bad idea all the way around.
Oh it's on.
How so?
We implemented a fully Voluntaryism Economic Plan called United Order.
Besides it would be terrible if every one in your nation was moron. You basically would take Nevada Utah etc back to the 1930s.
lets all take a step back and recognize that this quote wasn't altered whatsoever
You won't take our potatoes without 1.8 mega - freedoms of democracy landing upon your rebel heads. As for utah, enjoy salt lake city all you want bahaha
TTA's Logic:
Deseret (mythical place where, when it did exist, publicly shamed and beat people that were not Mormon; a theocracy based on a botched attempt at religious totalitarianism) is a bastion of religious tolerance.
yes, because that is certainly the worst idea being tossed around on the RMB right now
Bahahahaha
