America rocks. Second only to Britain.

I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO EVERYBODY WHO SAYS THAT AMERICA IS THE LEADER OF DEMOCRACY AND THE FIGHTER OF TERROR, WELL WHICH COUNTRY OWNED MOST OF AMERICA
BRITAIN
AND ENGLAND WAS THE LEADER OF DEMOCRACY AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN BECAUSE IT TAUGHT AMERICA.
ALSO IF AMERICA PEOPLE ARE THE WORLD POWERS THEN SO IS BRITAIN BECAUSE EVERY WHITE AMERICAN IS FROM BRITISH DESCENT.
AMERICA IS ALSO A FAGGET WHEN IT COMES TO WAR BECAUSE I CANT THINK OF ONE WAR WHICH AMERICA FOUGHT SOULY ON THEIR OWN
AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDANCE:FRANCE HELPED
AMERICAN CIVIL WAR:IMMIGRANTS FROM CHINA AND THE EAST HELPED
THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR:HELP FROM FRANCE AND ALSO IMMIGRANTS FORCED TO FIGHT
WW1:THEY ONLY FOUGHT FROM 1917 TO 1918 AND WENT ON SAY THEY WON THE WAR
WW2:JOINED IN AGAIN LATER THAN ALL MAIN COUNTRYS AND SAY THEY WON THE WAR
PACIFIC WAR:HELP FROM BRITISH SOLDIERS AFTER FIGHTING 6 LONG YEARS OF WAR NOT JUST 3YEARS
KOREAN WAR:HELP FROM MOS

Whoa! Big post. Just wanted to respond to a few of the points you raised:

I am of Italian/Scottish/German/French descent your dumbass Brit! lol. Nothing british about me whatsoever.

I think you'll find that Scotland is part of Britain which makes you 25% British. There is nothing English about you (though most of the English, me included, have some Scottish and Welsh in them plus bits from all over Europe and further afield, so you probably have a bunch of everything in you).

Your right about your country teaching us about Democracy: Your arbitrary, monarchical decisions were no good. Hence: we LEARNED from your crappy system, so we INVENTED a new one....called Democracy.

Yes, we had a crap democracy when you broke away. We did give the vote to women before you (although New Zealand was first in 1897) and I believe that residents of Washington D.C. are not represented in the U.S. Senate?

Back to the point about helping West Germany... Britain did help, the most obvious example being the rebuilding of the Volkswagen company. Others include rebuilding in general. Not to mention stopping the Soviets invading Denmark at the end of the war.

Just an FYI.

Zetetic:

Scottish is not Brittish. The Scots are a Celtic tribe, there long before the Brits. The Brits were a Germanic tribe, who lived in Normandy orginally. In the year 1166, or 1266, or 1366 or something like that. I'm pretty sure it was in the 60's of one of them centuries way back then lol, when the British invaded the island.

Oh, and uh, just because I AM Christian, doesn't mean I take the Bible literally all the time. The whole thing about creationism v. evolution, I believe they actually go hand-in-hand. I do not believe God created the Earth in 7 days. It's mostly the New Testament I believe in (and most of the history of the Jews in the Old).

As far as prophesy is concerned: No, I do not believe peace in the Middle East would bring about the End of Days. In fact, I would welcome peace over there, since all the major religions (Western ones I should say) stake a claim there.

Othe

Scottish and British may well originally be two different tribes. Although I think you're forgetting that "British" is a combination of numerous ethic groups, created over millenia. Angles, Saxons, Normans, Celts, etc.

But do a little research on the Act of Union 1707, and you will find that Scotland has been a willing constituent of the United Kingdom for quite some time, which makes them British.

Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales are all part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland. Britain or UK for short. Each one is British.

On a geographical note, Great Britain is actually the name of the large island on which you will find England, Scotland and Wales - The British mainland. So Scotland is indeed British, both politically and geographically, no matter what the tribes were originally called.

Can't help but jump in here. I've been following the thread, but have been determined to stay out of it because a lot of the folks posting (particularly the one MM quoted) are just so far off base in their thinking that they scare me.

I am an American, but I have also had the opportunity to live in 4 other countries, I have visited every continent except Antarctica, been in every country in Europe, etc.

Is the US perfect? Of course not, we've done some stupid things, just as every country in the world at one point or another in their history.

The "you suck/we rule" arguments are ludicrous and serve no useful purpose.

But now that Zetetic and MM have jumped in, and Zeta, the tone has gotten a bit more civilized, so couldn't resist jumping in.

Just a couple points. The US is not a democracy, it is a republic. The difference is slight, but there nonetheless. With the exception of so

MM: Scottish is not Brittish. The Scots are a Celtic tribe, there long before the Brits. The Brits were a Germanic tribe, who lived in Normandy orginally. In the year 1166, or 1266, or 1366 or something like that.

Yes, the Scots are a Celtic tribe. In terms of blood or genetic material, you'll find a handful of people on remote islands off the coast of Scotland who can still claim to be Celtic rather than British.

The "Brits" were not a Germanic tribe, or rather, they were not a tribe at all. The Angles were the first to invade England (well, after the ice age crossings, romans and vikings, and a few others) which is where it gets its name from (it is still Angleterre, or Angle-land, in French). We still have a county called East Anglia. The Angles were Germanic.

They were joined by a whole bunch of Saxons (another Germanic tribe) s

MM: Oh, and uh, just because I AM Christian, doesn't mean I take the Bible literally all the time.

Meant to add in my previous post that I didn't mean to offend you by suggesting you take the Bible literally. Your previous post triggered my worries that too many people do take it literally and my comments were meant to be directed at them.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean for that to sound like I was offended. That was not my intention. I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't one of "those" Christians.

JMR: That was a very good history lesson. Most of that I already knew, just wasn't too clear on the dates. (Although I did think Commodore Perry [That was his name! yay!] was in the late 19 century, but I looked it up, and you were right)

I was gonna respond to the Washington thing, but forgot to. I was going to say people make the choice to live in DC rather than MD or VA. Originally, as you already said, people weren't supposed to live in the District, and so never set a way to have representatives in Congress, becuase they wouldn't be representing anyone LOL. Amazing how THAT worked out.

As for calling Scots, or Irish, or Scots-Irish British, I know my brother whole family he married into would take offense to that lol. I can onl

Also, about the heavy stuff we got involved in in the 50s, 602, and 70s. You gotta remember, the world still had WW2 fresh in its mind. They also had the idea that Russia and the United States was going to duke it out with nuclear weapons. Americans thought of Russia in the same light as 1930s Germany. Everyone wanted to steer clear of another war with Germany, and so they appeased Hitler. They allowed him to take nation after nation in Eastern Europe. Germany and Russia even divided Poland up between them. Hitler allied itself with Italy and Japan, and eventually attacked yet more countries. Czechoslovakia, I believe, was the last straw for both France and Britiain. They had almost no choice bu to prepare for war.

Well, after the war, it was Russia's turn to take over Eastern Europe. China went Communist and pretty much backed up Russia (I know they definitely had their disagreements, but still). America was the ONLY nation able to st

Hmmm... very interesting takes. Would like to throw something out for Zetetic, since he referenced the Norman conquest in 1066 at Hastings (I think). Were you aware of just how close the British Isles came to being something completely different?

On 25 Sept. 1066, a Norwegian army under King Harald Hardrada landed some 300 ships filled with Viking warriors on the shores of the British Isles. He was met by the English King Harold Godwinsson at a place near York called Stamford Bridge. The battle was a disaster for the Norsemen, only 24 ships survived to return to Norway.

It was only a matter of a few weeks when the Normans showed up. Many historians attribute the English defeat to the losses they suffered at Stamford Bridge.

Glad to accept the clarifications regarding the backdrop of WWI, and also glad to accept the gentle chiding reminder that during WWII Canada was still a Dominion. And yes, the ANZACS were critical to
