I like what Michael Morrison put,
"quote"
"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."
What a daft bastard putting that, thinking he knows what british and what is'nt lol :P. The nationally "british" is a group of 4 different nationalities which is the english, scottish, welsh and irish.
However the word "brit" actually means a painted person, is what the romans reffered to the original britons (the celts), as they wore woad paint, or war paint as they went into battle.
It was actually a "latinized" germanic group called the Normans who invaded England which had the Saxon inhabit

...tell that to those who don't know their history. Heck, technically England was under French control for a time, since William of Normandy was a French duke.

I believe that the Duke, William of Normandy when he declared himself king of England, also declared independence from France at the same time. Before that, he was just a vassal of the king of France.
William may have been a French duke born in France, but really he was a descendant (several generations) from the vikings who adopted the french latin ways.
My surname alone is an anglo norman name which means that I myself could be a descendant from one of his many soldiers.

Possibly, but theres no way I will be able to prove any of that since it is too far back, only my surname proves it. Try and find out the origins of your surname and see what you come up with.

....I say, did we just have another attempt at a thread revival?
My surname was actually the nickname of a Danish Prince that assisted with the restoration of King Fergus the Second of Scotland to the throne and his dependants then took the nickname Cam'shron as their surname and it later evolved to Cameron.

Michael Morrison is too Patriotically British, even if it was a long time ago... Trying to hide weakness with assistance and cooperation in many wars, when he didn't realize Britain was nearly starved to death by Germany in WWI were it not for the late Americans.

What can I say, we Americans love helping our British friends........we're just gonna ask for something in return, that's all.
I'm pretty sure England almost starved Germany to death in ww1 were it not for the Haber process..... I think you must mean ww2 but idk much about the food situation in that war
if mattheaw Patton is still here id just like to tell him that anyone with a favorite battleship is either an utter tool or in 6 grade
makes me sad that "patriots" like Patton apparently only care about Americas contributions to the world in terms of weapons we made and wars we "won" "singlehandedly" ...... whata fool
Why does everyone forget Canadian involvement in things? You use us as shock troops and we win the war for you. You took our small army, broke it into smaller groups and spread them around Europe. The Canadian forces in Italy during WW2 were one of the most vicious fight forces there, we fought house to house and cleared more land than the Americans and the axis forces fled when they heard they had to fight Canadians house to house.
Lets not forget the war of 1812, where America attacked Canada, pushed half way through the country before we knew there was an invasion, and then got pushed back to their own southern states where we then signed peace and formed the current borders. We could have ended America and became the largest country in the world in 1812 but we're to nice to wipe out an entire country.
Ah, yes, let us reemember when Canada, with its mighty armies, crushed the United States until only a small band of rednecks was left to resist.
Hmmmm... that almost sounds like one of my parodies....
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
thats exactly the noise i would make if i heard that the canadians were coming and we had to fight them house to house
Let's look back at America's times of war.
1.) WW2 pt1, War with Japan, won by hitting them with nukes because if they invaded they would have lost.
2.) WW2 pt2, Italian Campaign, used Canadians as bullet shields but instead fought the campaign for America and won.
3.)Iraq, used Ac130's and gunships like some call of duty shit and then sent forces to shoot half dead people.
4.) WW1, joined the war as it was ending and killed a few outposts.
5.) Korea, barley made an impact and the war ended in ceasefire.
6.) Vietnam, got their asses kicked by people with less advanced weapons.
7.)War of 1812, got their asses handed to them by Canadian MILITA.
8.) War of Independence, aided by the natives and the British didn't even have a large presence in the Thirteen Colonies.
All I have to say is this whole long ass thread needs to return to the depths of hell from whence it came.
