Well yeah it's like a gym dance, what if guys stopped asking girls to dance and just did the Snoop Dogg two-step by the punch bowl all night?  Chaos

Is this your own deep-buried bitterness from your past of not being asked by guys to dance at the school dance, Yell? tongue

Re: Why are Continental Europeans so.... pretetious and ridiculous?

Hey guys sorry to harken back to the earlier posts but just had a flick through, you do all know the British were fighting the pacific campaign as well right? We were at war with Japan before they bombed pearl harbour. (This wasnt intended as a dig at America or anything of the sort, I dunno, I just sometimes get annoyed when even kids in this country aint aware we were involved against Japan!)
I personally think that for an empire that had spent its might and was in massive decline that fighting Germany, Italy and Japan on our own and surviving until Russia and America joined was one hell of an achievement!


Secondly I dont think you can judge every mainland European like that, yeah there are those as you describe but many others similar to yourself. You wouldnt try to dismiss all Americans as red necks etc etc.

Thirdly, this thread was pretty much started specifically to be a flame war, I found that nearly all threads on our politics forum are made with a particular bias and always end up with "AMERICA SUXEH! EUROPE SUXEH! DEMOCRATS SUXEH! REPUBLICANS SUXEH! BRITAIN SUXEH! DECIMUS/FLINT/BLACKWING SUXEH"
Its kind of a shame as I used to love this lil forum :s

Re: Why are Continental Europeans so.... pretetious and ridiculous?

most of us hyperdebaters have other commitments that prevent us from doing big posts

also we like to flame

heck Khaz some American college graduates weren't aware WE were at war with Japan...("Who won?")  it's only history buffs like me know what the Flying Tigers were or who Stilwell was or what a Chindit is or the INA or that there was a war in Burma.

Only if you recognise the current "government", otherwise it gets called by it's true name, Burma.

Unlike Decimus I have done nothing to warrant this personal attack, so stop trying to belittle me and rertact your statement.
