Its OK for Americans to take blame for things that happened in their in the past... but not credit?



Credits of what?

There hasn't been much to credit americans foreign policy in the last few years.

Especially true after Bush.

Yer right.. .it's the Finns to whom the world owes a huge debt of gratitude.

How'd I do, Mini?  ;)

 yeah, yeah. I don't disagree, but I get sick of all the American bragging done by people who were born after the events that made America what it is today. And the rest of the world is sick of American jerks who never set foot outside their home town, and seek to ride on the coat tails of men who died in military conflicts in the service of America and the rest of the civilised world.

Don't bother to reply. Your NUKE-style chest beating has earned you a place on my ignore list.


Please show me where anyone has stated that we consider ourselves perfect.

This one's gonna go nowhere...

"Americans are good."

"Europeans are good too!"

"America sucks!"

"Argh! Shutup Frenchy!!"

"Down with Bush!"

"You gay?"

"No, the French are!"

"I take exception to that - the French are not gay!"

"Hah!  I can edit your quote to make it look like you said something you didnt!"

"HAH!  I can put words in your mouth and make myself look stupid!!  Er..."

sigh...  :rolleyes:

Hey! I thought I was number 1?

Being ignored by Beetle is like being told by Saddam Hussein that you aren't relevant anymore. Gotta laugh at that, few people pay Beetle any attention anyway.
