I love the "yank" phrase you Euro's use.

our interests and theirs during (germany , japan) and after (soviet union) the war were the same. no point arguing about it. we helped them but we needed to help them. the sooner they got back on their feet after the war the better for us because of the threat of the commies. obviously i'm exagerrating a bit. doubtful portugal was big enough to really conquer us. i was just trying to think of how we benefited from our european allies as well. a better one to point out would've been the french sending us aid during the revolutionary way but that was against the brits. Look at this history lesson... now I don't even have to read books anymore.

Right... and that was clearly in their best interests. I don't think we'd be speaking portugese though. It wasn't about the US... it was about the central american and south american colonies. our interests and theirs during (germany , japan) and after (soviet union) the war were the same. no point arguing about it. we helped them but we needed to help them. the sooner they got back on their feet after the war the better for us because of the threat of the commies. obviously i'm exagerrating a bit. doubtful portugal was big enough to really conquer us. i was just trying to think of how we benefited from our european allies as well. a better one to point out would've been the french sending us aid during the revolutionary way but that was against the brits.

they paid back what they had to. it was in our interest to do it anyway. we helped the russians and chinese out a lot too. what did they pay us? 2nd part was a reference to our Monroe Doctrine. You know when no european country could interfere with affairs in the americas? Do you honestly think we had the military power to enforce that? Our policy but the british directly and indirectly enforced it. Right... and that was clearly in their best interests. I don't think we'd be speaking portugese though.

I don't recall receiving a check for the two family members of mine with permanent parking spots in the English Channel, but that isn't my point. My point is that we can bitch and bicker with each other across the pond, but when one or the other gets in the shit, the other will be there to help shovel it out. Don't make such a big deal about such small shit. nobody is making a big deal. i like the brits. everyone is just having fun joking. like two brothers or cousins talking smack to eash other.

Huh? Brush up on your history. Most of the Marshall plan funds were grants not loans. THere was a huge debate in Congress about this. I'm not sure I understand the second part of your comment. they paid back what they had to. it was in our interest to do it anyway. we helped the russians and chinese out a lot too. what did they pay us? 2nd part was a reference to our Monroe Doctrine.

in their defense. at least they paid us back. and besides......if it wasn't for the royal navy. we might be speaking french or portuguese or dutch right now.

Are you kiddin? They didn't need us? They didn't need our billions in aide after the war either. DOn't you understand how the European reality works? They create it.... and then they shout it at the top of their lungs hoping that others will believe it. in their defense. at least they paid us back. and besides......if it wasn't for the royal navy. we might be speaking french or portuguese or dutch right now.

Maybe, but there was a time, some 65 odd years ago, that you were happy to see us "yanks". Just saying. Are you kiddin? They didn't need us?

At least ours has some truth to it ... Maybe, but there was a time, some 65 odd years ago, that you were happy to see us "yanks". Just saying.

SQL code... you forgot the join burgers.b=yanks.y Fuck! I also forgot to do the JOIN to the Hilarious_presidents table.

Let's see if this code works on this thread DELETE * FROM fat_yanks WHERE preference = "biased" AND WHERE donut_intake = "15" AND WHERE wwf_is_real = TRUE AND WHERE obese = TRUE AND geography_skills = FALSE; I got a feeling it's gonna clean about 5-6 members on this thread. It worked! SQL code... you forgot the join burgers.b=yanks.y

Check my thread out above. We've all concluded that it's because they're ill educated retards. i take offense to that. i'm a well educated retard from america. i'm from california. the guys from like alabama and arkansas are ill educated retards. don't classify all retarted americans as one group!

Why do you Americans think all people from europe have practically the same nationality? I've never seen a person outside Great-Britain say cunt or yank. Englishmen and Americans are probably more similair than Englishmen and Frenchmen. Remember that in Europe also live Germans, Italians, Greeks, Swedes, Russians etc... In every country there live fat sons of a bitches. And if you feel offended when "you're people" are called that way, then you're only exposing yourself as that. Sorry but it's the truth. To sum it all up: You assholes need to start getting along. your from belgium? belgianese like the candies? isn't that next to australia?
