You're insane, the U.S. military could still kick any other army's ass, the only reason it doesn't, is because the U.S. kicks itself in the balls before the fighting begins. If the gloves were to be taken off, it's a no-contest.

Way to miss the point. The British Empire ended a darn sight later than the American Revolution, which is usually the US foil in this ridiculous "My dad's gotta a bigger sperm count than your dad" argument. My point:And yet one of the first immature comments thrown out is "We kicked your ass in the American Revolution".
It's a ridiculous argument.
PS. As you're hopefully aware, the French were not always the whimsical cowardly lunatics they are stereotyped as these days, fact is they had the most powerful and efficient military in the world for a good number of years.
"Way to miss the point" indeed... Snoochyboochies was being a comicial-ass, I was returning the favor, so calm down big guy. I even left you a hint too, with the "Mr. Halite" response to your "take it with a grain of salt".
P.S. We did kick your ass in the revolution though. I am aware of the French and their conquest/military might, esp. Napoleon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Man.
I do wonder about people's standards of history, that they feel confident to make statements like that. Oh my!
There is absolutely no point in history where the British had the most powerful army or anything approaching it. Yet for some reason people like to perpetuate the myth that the Empire was backed by endless waves of fully equipped and trained Redocats.
Sorrowful, that.
Originally posted by RobtardWell the British helped as well. What with the being scrubs and all.They fought by self imposed rules, lined up and marched admirably into gunfire.

Oh I got the hint, but I'm all for returning favours as well.
This thread, inspired by Blaxican Hydra's ill knowledge and awareness, still treating the wounds of verbal assult and common sense, has achieved nothing but the obvious; that we will all try and defend our respective countries with unwonted venom and bias.

I thought you were taking the line that they don't need to know?

So they conquered, controlled and amassed colonies throughout the world while being weak?
Edit: I did a quick Google of "British Empire", here's one of MANY links.

Opportunism brought about by quarreling neighbouring powers and mastery of the seven seas.
In my opinion, the American Revolution was a good thing; once it was over it proved that the Empire did not need a strong military force to maintain it's presence and importance. The US was all too happy to trade with Britain and the investment allowed for expansion in much more interesting ways.
Originally posted by exanda kaneICP has been around longer than Slipknot, starting from a record label that began in Alex Abiss' basement, turned said label into a multi artist label, and are almost wholly self made. How does that suck? Just cause it's your opinion, doesn't make it a fact.
But disliking them for some god awful music isn't. And, believe me, Insane Clown Posse, Slipknot and any other silly band that came to the forefront at that time are laughable. Had the misfortune of seeing Slipknot at the Reading festival in like, 2002, and just stood up the bar laughing. Bands like that seem to get exposed when there is a void of decent music in some circles. Give me the Libs anyday.
