Yep. 't is.

Thats just wrong, we have tons of historical value in the US, it is just a different kind of historical value, as it is more modern. For example, go to Gettysburg and say there is no historical value in the US compared to europe.

So our history doesnt go back as far, big deal.

Annapolis (where I live) has historical value. 1630's over here (that's old for America).

My experiences with British public transport haven't been [i]all[i] that bad, actually.

/interesting ++

I meant the public transport in America sucks compared to the luxury we enjoy over here. I really like the public transport system we have here.

Yes, the American public transport system does ineed blow [walks everywhere :cool:].

Also, don't mind what I'm adding, just read the name of my iPod: [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/Eleventeen3/niggadeluxe.jpg]here[/url]

I see.

Apparently BBC 1 are putting sharks on Trial :-/

I know, I just illustrated our public transportation.

And Lunch: The US didn't exist back then, though. :o


We have been around since the ancient times, we were a tribe called the Belgae. :cool: Conquered by the Romans. :upset:

[QUOTE=Superpeer]And Lunch: The US didn't exist back then, though. :o[/QUOTE]

Yea, but Annapolis did. We were actually the US capital for a year or two back in the day.

[QUOTE=Lunch]Yea, but Annapolis did. We were actually the US capital for a year or two back in the day.[/QUOTE]

Alright then, but you still weren't a cool tribe with beards. :mad:

I'm just saying for America, Annapolis is historic. In Europe, no one cares.

/still is on a rant about Medieval Times

Man, Medieval Times is ridiculous. I remember in seventh grade we had our class trip to Chicago, and that's one of the places my wonderful school decided to take us.

Basically, you go there and wear a crown, a la the kind of crown you get at Burger King: those stupid paper crowns that don't fit on your head unless you're six years old.

Then, you are seated in a colored section, which represents the knight you're supposed to cheer for.

So, we're in seventh grade. We're supposed to get the badass, I'll ruin-your-shi[font=]t[/font] Black Knight, right? Or the Red Knight, whose armor looks pretty awesome, right?

No, we get the pus[font=]syas[/font]s White Knight.

Oh, and your meal consists of chicken, ribs, and potatoes, where everything is greasy, slimy, and unappetizing. And because, gee, it's Medieval Times, you don't get any silverware, so you get to eat with your fingers.

"Oh man, how awesome!" the typical seventh grader would think. "I get to eat mashed potatoes with my fingers!" But when it looks like the potatoes look like a fungus that generated from the fatass maiden-in-distress' genital area, the excitement diminishes.

Oh, and your drink of choice is Pepsi. Very original, for Medieval Times.

And then the Master of Ceremonies is this fairy jester guy, who always repeats "Welcome to Meeeeeeeeeeedieeeeeeeeeeevallllll Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimes!" over and over again in this horrible, off-key voice. Seventh graders generally aren't that judgemental in regards to idiots, but we all made an exception here.

All this, and we got to watch our wuss White Knight get his as[font=]s handed to him in jousting, swordfighting, and horseback riding.[/font]

What a rompin', stompin' good time. Go, Medieval Times, go!

The US did exist back then in theory!

I take a bus every day, and I can honestly say the US public transportation blows.

It happened to us constantly though. All the conquering. :upset:

But then we picked on Kongo, they didn't have an army. :cool:

[QUOTE=Superpeer]

The North of England/South of Scotland kept getting conquered and re-conquered too. Everyone kept bickering around that whole border area.

Didn't the Romans leave the Scottish alone, because they thought that the English were pretty wild, but the Scottish, they had blue paint on their faces. So they didn't really want to go there?

America pwned the Natives :cool:.

[quote=Waffleslut]/something about the Congo[/quote]

One of my professors is from the Congo. He did his undergrad there, and did his graduate studies in Belgium, since "ze Cohn-go eez ah coal-uhn-ee auf Bel-xeum."

The Romans didn't especially want Scotland, but that didn't stop the Scots kicking seven shades out of the Romans at any given opportunity. Berwick-upon-Tweed in particular changed hands a ridiculous number of times.

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]America pwned the Natives :cool:.[/QUOTE]

They were European, actually. ;)

Nah, the Romans dominated everybody.

Why do you think Hadrian's Wall was built?

Face paint, Gibberish, and refusal to die. That was the spirit. :cool:


Does anyone happen to remember the name of the latest Goldfrapp single, by any chance?

Sorry Jelle?

Of course the original Americans [as in the US] were European, we still are mostly of European descent... doesn't mean our anscestors didn't pwn the Natives [well actually a lot of my family came to America in the 30's and 40's... but still].

You said they were Americans, when they weren't really Americans yet. It's when they started to settle down and have more generations that they started to suck. lolz

Well the main part of taking out the Indians was when we invaded the West in the 1800's. Making us Americans.
