        Yes, it's just one big chocolate country. I've heard when they pump the chocolate out of the factories it goes into the rivers and you get chocolate rivers!

          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? 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.

                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.

                  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 ***** and bicker with each other across the pond, but when one or the other gets in the ****, the other will be there to help shovel it out. Don't make such a big deal about such small ****.

                    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.
