Well done old chap.

And once again Richard the United States did NOT take Texas from Mexico. Please try to get this one fact straight.

General Santa Anna invited the Anglos to Texas to settle it and grow the economy. After a prolonged war with Spain he decided to change the rules and began pressing the Texans. So they naturally resisted.

After his cowardly, failed, attempt at evading capture during the battle at San Jacinto, he acquiesced and SOLD Texas its independents.

Several years later Texas joined the Union as a State.

J's version differs wildly from the history I've read, just a short quote from wikipedia

In 1827, John Q. Adams offered Mexico USD $1 million to buy Texas, which was rejected. Two years later, in 1829, Andrew Jackson tried again with an offer of $5 million dollars, which Mexico also rejected. The same year Spain attempted to re-conquer their former colony. Santa Anna swiftly defeated the invading Spanish army at Tampico and was hailed as a national hero. In 1830, Mexico became alarmed by the illegal immigrants crossing the border from the U.S. into Mexico

Guess what America is alarmed at the illegals crossing from Mexico.
Wht's that saying " what goes around comes around"

Or true feelings described as irony to deflect criticism of being too contentious :p

Pre-emptive retaliation? Hmmmm, okay. But since warmonger Bush has his fanatical sights set on just about everywhere, is it okay if the rest of the world forms an alliance and takes you out first?
Just gimme the bit of paper, I'll sign up now

Define "Everywhere"?
I have never heard W speak of going anywhere else except maybe Iran or N. Korea. Show me a quote where he said "Iceland is next!"
Typical Liberal Racist mutterings.

That oil youre stealing, ooops I mean 'liberating', now will only last so long you know. Especially at the rate you profligate a$$holes get through it. Then you'll need to look elsewhere - after all, we dont want the po' ole' yank forking out a proper price for his gas, do we? There'd be riots, and thats not good PR ;)
 
If you lived in a country 15 1/2 times the size of Great Britian, ya'll might use a little more gas too. ;)

proper - as defined by YOU! HA
See here is the thing, the base price for a xx of gas is pretty much the same. So if your base price and the USA's base price is the same, but you are paying much more for the same xx amount of gas, how is that our fault all of a sudden? And why would care what we pay? Sounds more like class envy (or something like it) more than anything.
Oh, poor little brit's, getting screwed by their gov. so lash out at the american's. Whine, Whine, Whine
Yawn

Personally I think its more to do with 8mpg SUV's being so popular, rather than greater distances to travel. After all, didnt you guys exempt pickup trucks from legislation requiring minimum mpg coz you lazy gits couldnt be bothered or lacked the skill to make them?
Whatever, the point is that oil is a finite resource, and that fat lazy inconsiderate yankee retards consume it at 4x a per capita average. But hey, youre alright, so thats okay, isnt it? Fook everyone else, they dont need it in their p1ssant little countries...
 
You know what I like about you? I can say pretty much anything I want and no one can accuse me of being unprovoked. I mean, I make a comment in jest and you respond with no less than six insults. You have yet to contribute a single thought to these discussions that we haven't all heard a million times before and...wait a minute...

Hmmm....which regular is never logged on at the same time as nomorehype? FoFa, are you arguing with youself for giggles? Ken, are you bored and lookin' to poke the hornet's nest. Out with it. :D :p

Awww, do you not get to say whats on your (undoubtedly tiny) mind anyway? You'd be the first yank yet to let diplomacy get in the way of venting their spleen. You do have a spleen..?

Your comments are "only in jest", but my comments are not. Hmmm, okay... The really funny bit is you dont even realise just how freaking hypocritical you are! Sorry, but I'm afraid you gave up rights to claiming moral high ground some time ago :)

Maybe because theres more than a grain of truth in them? By the way, nicely obfuscated or not, your complete inability to answer the post is noted :)

Hypocritical? Didn't see it, but then again
WE HAVE MORE NUKES THAN YOU DO, WE CAN BLOW YOU AWAY!
NAY NAY NAY :p
Go climb back in your hole, we broke away from europe for a reason, people like you!

Just checking, is that some of the "irony" from a few posts back, the "in jest" from a few posts back, or do you mean it? Sorry for needing clarification, but I wouldnt want to misinterpret you

No, you 'broke away' because no other country wanted to be associated with civilian-murdering illegally-invading terrorists. Otherwise known as Americans :rolleyes:

No, it was the English we saw (and it only counts what we saw) as the dictating, over taxing (ok now we have the democrates for that), evil civilian-murdering we had to run out.

OH, and illegally-invading terrorists, don't think so, we have the NUKES so WE set the rules, and we say, piss off.

Wow. Did you just make that up? Which model(s) are you referring to? Can you provide links to the gas mileage ratings?

How condescending. Kraj is one of the more intelligent and reasonable posters on this forum. He is always willing to back up his arguments with sources, and he tries to stay level headed, in spite of insults being slung at him.

As did you. Although, you have over 100 posts and they are all in this thread and you've only been a member for a couple of weeks. I'm more apt to think that you are just some crackpot that stumbled across this thread, or perhaps another member that has signed up under another name to have a jest.

Hummer? Lincoln Navigator? Chevy Suburban? Look up their websites and do your own damn research

You can be 'apt to think' what you like. Wont make it the truth, but you can think it.

I did. Nowhere did I see 8MPG listed. Hummers would probably be the closest, but they are the least common SUV to see on the road, due to their outrageous price tag. However, you're the one who posted the comment. It is on you to post sources to back up your argument. No need to be so snippety, unless you have a reason to be defensive. Don't bother doing it for me though, I'm through talking to you. I was just trying to make a point.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That's what makes the world so diverse, isn't it? I've formed mine based upon your comment history, and unless you drastically change your attitude and start debating in a more respectful manner without needlessly insulting people, I'm not likely to change it. End of discussion.
