*chuckles* its a funny thread but there are some serious points that one could highlight as benefits for the US
State paid healthcare for all. The US jointly with the UK would remain the top economic power for long as the US is about to be deposed from that position by china within the next decade. Increasing the value of the dollar moving it away from the lowest value its been in decades.
Im not taking this thread seriously, seriously :P Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content. Mail [email protected] if you have questions. -Hango

Come get us.
We don't fancy Utah either. We'll take up a collection, and sent it post-prepaid.
Check very carefully the etymology of "Aluminum". You're the ones that screwed it up.
In response, I invite many Englishmen to study their own Fowler's and learn how to properly pluralize their verbs, especially with respect to collective nouns.
I invite Gordon Ramsay to clean up his mouth. I'm not offended by his gratuitous use, just unimpressed. If we're to consider a man a professional, worthy of respect, we expect him to be able to select the right word for the occasion, instead of saying "****" thirty-seven times a minute. You wouldn't accept it from Jeremy Clarkson, would you? Also, stop watching Jerry Springer, you chav.
I invite Englishmen to recognize that Scouser is the most delicious English accent. It almost sounds German. The second most pleasing dialect is that of Meelbin, Vectyuoria.
Texashire and Floridashire are perfectly acceptable. They are backwards country places, that create backwards country people.
I invite any Englishman to learn the original source of the melody to "God Save."
Until someone comes along and beats us at Baseball, we'll keep calling it the World Series. It is contested by the best Baseball players in the world. Bring some game.
We like Association Football just fine here, thanks. We just feel all those pretty satin clothes look better on the women.
Guns? Meh. They're fun. Maybe you should try them. We'll keep our guns, but you can have all the unregistered owners.
Two Words: Shelby Cobra. Two more words: Lucas Electrics. We'll give up our cars when you give up a) electricity, and 2) trying to build anything except suspensions.
All in all, good fun. Well played. ----- TANSTAAFL

Originally by: annoing From Wiki: Quote: Noah Webster, the author of immensely popular readers and spelling books for schools, published his first dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language, in 1806. In it, he introduced features that would be a hallmark of future editions such as American spellings (center rather than centre, honor rather than honour, program rather than programme, etc.)
Spelt as they are spoken, not spelt to any history of language and its origins. That is why Americans leave it out.
Exactly. It's one addition (or subtraction) to the language that I rather like and I want to keep it.

No, really. Send dobermans after her. If she beats them off, she'll have self-respect for the first time in her life. (This quote actually comes from a Brit.)

Small, lightweight cars good. Heavy bloatmobiles made of tin and built around an oversized engine bad.

Ummm 1992 & 1993... you know the twp pre-strike years - which incidentally brings up a wee bit of a conspiracy theory behind the strike; specifically that it looked like Toronto and Montreal were going to be facing each other an the American networks lacked broadcast and re-broadcast rights.

I like to learn the differences in historical perspective. We in the US are taught that the English and the French were having one of their spats, as they are wont to do. That's what allowed us to sneak off with little fuss. OK, maybe we encouraged the French a little. We've been regretting it ever since. Thanks a lot, Ben Franklin. ----- TANSTAAFL

I don't know who taught you, but the French were critical for the Rebellion. After signing a treaty with the colonies, the French declared war on Britain (for convenience) and fought the British in the waters and in the bays of the colonies (amoung other places). A French victory over a British naval fleet halted the resupply of the British forces at Yorktown which led to their surrender.

We really tried to keep up with you. You changed it so much that we just got tired and stuck with Aluminum. And then we made a lot of it. Don't worry though, you don't owe us anything for the Marshall Plan. We're straight.
Originally by: Rhegulius Nycemius What you mean John Bull's 17th century tune? I don't get it...
Uncle Sam kicked John Bull's rotten teeth in during a pub brawl. I think the tune is older than that.

Originally by: Patch86 Seriously though, humour thread dude, it's a humour thread
Dude, I didn't take this all that seriously. Thats why I posted dumb humor in response to the dumb humor. It was the over sensitive Brits that got all up in arms when it was thrown back in their face.
Brit navy. Brits have been complaining about their own navy going downhill for a while now. Hence they joke. Sheesh.
Escort. Our navy is busy but we are willing to make up some cash afterwards. Charging the tax collectors. haha funny. Sheesh.
Fat girl jokes. ALOT of brit girls are chubby. Alot of american girls are skinny. Its a bag on the popular media joke.
Brits know for bad teeth. Ancient running joke. Sheesh
Lived in Europe. Was flabergasted by the amount of really really really bad techno. Worse than anything I've seen in the states. And that says alot. America not short on bad music but it doesn't get played at clubs like that. Fess up already.
Brit humor. We've made fun of your humor since after the great Benny Hill died (we really like his stuff). We sometimes just dont get it. Deal with it. I'm sure you make fun of our humor as well.
Funky foot stomp is normal to you but funny to us. Get over it. Its a joke. Maybe I should have commented on the Luff-tenent thing instead.
If you can't handle what you dish out yourselves then why post it?

The French did a hell of a lot more retreating than fighting, navally speaking. They left us in more tight spots than they were worth. The French were more effective to the Revolutionary Effort in the role of "the hammer about to fall," meaning they stayed much of the English effort for fear of reprisal. Had the English dedicated more of their materiel to the Colonial Rebellion, the French would have been able to march straight into that Abbey the British hold so dear. ----- TANSTAAFL

You do however have to respect a military naval force fighting a war with supply lines stretching across the Atlantic where boats we made of wood. That's nigh impossible right there.

So does this mean we get to have another revolution after awhile? I'm all for that.
That means we get to write a new set of Federalist Papers, which kind of sucks though, because it's going to pretty tough to improve on something so nearly flawless.

Originally by: James Swindle 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium." Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
I'll change my pronunciation of 'aluminum' when the Brits can pronounce the letter 'r'.
you're saying americans can pronounce the "r"? ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs! I want my hello-kitty-kessie!

Hahahahaha, just read all the posts that have been posted since i went out. I would never of posted it if people were going to take it so seriously
Also the guy who said that you saved our arse in WW1 and WW2, you know....just...ssshh.
WW1, you were barely involved and when you were...you were being typical gun ho yanks jumping over the trenches and getting shot into a swiss cheese like state (i could go on about WW1 but it is really too much effort).
And as for WW2, i just can hope you can work it out for yourselves with these few words...Battle of Britain, again late to the war, the Ruskies, British intelligence/sabotage, etc etc.
Now don't get me wrong, you helped a great deal in WW2...not really so much in WW1 (except with supplies). But you say you saved out arses is just a false statement.
