Peggy's now actually British as a result of her application to become a British

Ethel, her older sister spends a lot of time both here and in the USA as well as
in Zambia.

She said the nicest thing possible I can think of about being here. To quote her
verbatim "I love this country".

Well, I guess -9.9 _is_ better than Zambia's -10 but, if she loves
the UK so much, how come she hasn't applied for citizenship yet?

Maybe she's hedging her bets and is willing to queue up at Ellis
Island and take her place in America, where she'll be free to tell
us how wrong we were in letting her in?

She'd have to be living here long term to apply.

She's not keen about the arrogance of Americans. She likes the Canadians better.

No you are.

You really think that YOU can speak for the whole world?

If all you had to be was a poor country to be bombed, all of Europe
would have been left to fend for themselves in WW-II. You wouldn't be
there, and we wouldn't have even had to waste any bombs, till the winner
was left to fend for themselves, while trying to control the countries
they conquered. Its too bad you're down to your last neuron, dumb Ass.

We don't generally "rain down" our bombs any more, since it's much
more cost-effective to use intelligent munitions with which we can
take out selected assets with little collateral damage.

However, as Michael pointed out, out thunderstorms of bombs into
Germany (and Japan) is exactly what's allowed nancing little
ingrates like you to become such vocal ****heels.

But why would that matter to you since, of course, you perpetually
propagate the myth that we're somehow less than human? Kinda like
the same thing the Jews were up against with their Nazi overlords.

Nein, Herr Stephenson?

I remember what it was like last time we were up against someone our own
size. (In fact they outnumbered us 4x in troops, 5x in tanks, 5x in planes,
3x in ships, etc). You guys on the left were nothing but their useful
idiots (and that's how *they* described you).

You weren't 'up against them' though were you ? Besides, the numbers ratios are
almost meaningless since their quality was so inferior in many ways.

I also don't recall the Soviet Navy having that many ships to begin with.

Not the same thing at all.

Try 1947. ASSHOLE !

Cold War

After the war [WW2] , the Soviets concluded that they needed to be able to compete
with the West at all costs. They embarked upon a program to match the West, if not
qualitatively, then at least quantitatively.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Navy


To *MATCH* the West ! And not even on quality !

Where were these all these ships that outnumbered us ?

Another lie you were taught at school ? Like the infamous 'missile gap' perhaps ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_gap

And the 'bomber gap' too.

How many B52s were built ? Only 744.

Our tanks were inferior in WWII. We won on numbers.


I also don't recall the Soviet Navy having that many ships to begin
with.

We outnumbered them 3:1 when we blockaded Cuba. A lot of those ships were
from WWII and were soon retired. They tripled their number after that, and
by the late-70s outnumbered us 3:1.

And you don't understand the missile gap at all. Ike the Republican ordered
the U2 flights that confirmed it was not real. The Dems used it as a
campaign issue anyway because they are political opportunists. Just like
JFK used info from his secret briefing on Cuba to score a point in one of
the debates.

But by the 70s they also surpassed us in ICBMs.

But you were a useful idiot before and after they caught up (again, that's
their term).
