<DIV>*Edit. Aargh. Why can't I change the formatting of this damn thing after posting it?</DIV>

....damn, I need to sit down for a minute..

i looked, i didn't see "sleep,eat,poop, and masturbation" in that sequence..

do they not do these things anylonger?

It bothers me that the latter half of the "History of the World" is primarily about the United States.

The dinosaurs invented the wheel. They mounted them on a trojan horse which ran over them and killed them.

other countries emulate the US, when someone speaks of "blah,blah" it may sound like the US, but could very well be someone else..

what bothers me is, people whom assume its the US cause it sounds like it is.

someday everyone in the world might act like the US, then who will we blame it on :/

Very good.

You can't tell me that isn't a specific reference to american history!

I just think it is silly to go the creation of the universe and the evolution of life to one specific civilization.

T.B. you can't possibly believe that although it is in our history that its not a common malady do you?

i bet there are 100's of instances where countries are ruled to death by outside powers..

i know what you mean, but i don't see it as only a US thing. :sad:

LOL America has been around as a seperate independant nation for what... 200 years? And somehow... ... I don't even know where to begin. Good one Orph, that was gold :smile:

Yup that sums it up...............

Wow, you people need to stop bitching about stuff. There's a grand total of 3 steps in this history that deal only with United States history: Taxation, Emanipation Proclamation, and Resignation.

If you want a fight, bring it. :razz:

Considering it's only about 200 years worth of history

I can sum up the universe in far less than 200 words:

Stuff.

Don't forget Discrimination.

Some of these last parts are completely the wrong way round.. particuarly invention, which seems to have graced us with its presence just about the same time cars came about... dodgy :razz:

Because no one on the face of the earth has faced discrimination before or after the African Americans in the United States? :razz:

Yes but your civil rights movement is FAMOUS!

and you pioneered slavery :razz: you bastards :razz: and you killed all the natives! !!

EEEEEVIL AMERICANS

Wo slow there Gwil, I was only adding to the list!

I blame the Dutch; they were the ones who started the slave trade, and I blame the Spanish for setting the precedent on Indian policy by wiping out the Arawaks. In fact, I'm going to blame the British for even setting up the American colonies, if it weren't for them, the US wouldn't be such a s**thole.

AND I'm going to blame the Welsh for allowing themselves to be dominated by the English, helping them to spread their hegemony across the globe. Have you no shame!

I think the point being made was that there was slavery a very long time before all that...

personally, if people are going to make a point of expressing 200 years as "only" then all i can say is "WOW..200 years and everyone wants to be just like us"

jeeze guys, get over it will'ya? if the US and its defects truly dominate so much of your days, you truly need medical help.. I LIVE HERE and it doesn't consume my days as much as you whiners who don't :rolleyes:

I do believe that most of Europe outlawed slavery and stopped supporting it like two decades before the US Civil War, so they all ended slavery round the same time.

And Orph, I think most people in this thread are joking. I know most of what I posted was in jest.

yeah, and so am i bud, as you of all should know.. i don't think, in the 5 years i have known you, that i have had issues with this topic..

i do find it humorous to the extreme, that so many people have there lives consumed by America and its defects..

anyways.. i was pokin fun at the "ONLY 200" part.. i am still giggling about it, cause the only can be construed as monumental, not harrowing, by people like me :biggrin:

Not sure what point you are trying to make as this statement seems to contradict itself. Just thought I'd add that slavery was popular in africa long before all that.

Actually, I heard far more Africans were shipped out to the Middle East (for Jewish people, I think) centuries before us evil Westerners showed up :/

The point I was making was 'no s**t, slavery's been around since practically the dawn of time, but it ended in the main industrialized nations around the same time'. Which means putting it where it is in the story of the universe makes sense (since a lot of people suddenly saw slavery as a bad thing and decided to abolish it.)

ok I agree on that. I didn't understand your earlier post. However the events here on earth are but a grain of sand when compared to the entire universe.

there i fixed the color for you yak :heee:

but i must say, no one will ever be able to accuse you of being a cynic.

Don't turn it around. I'm not obsessed with what america does at all. But I won't say nothing when you seem to think it's reasonable to think that america invented and solved most of the social and political problems that have faced the world, when yes, america has 'only' been around for 200 years. Orph - what are these countires that are trying to be like america? I don't see any.

scary_jeff said:
Orph - what are these countries that are trying to be like america? I don't see any.

how about this jeff.. i refuse to prove my point :biggrin:

how about you, being as tunnel visionary as you are, post some countries who are not.. and i mean 1st world countries, don't go posting zimbabwe for petes sake :rolleyes:

its about time, you take center stage on a topic, you have a really annoying habit of forcing others to center, if you cannot do it, then you are the one whom failed this time..

no fair cheating either, don't go recruiting other pitters to your cause.. you, jeffery, put your money where your text is.

do i,see carbon copies of the USA?? not on your life.

do i however, see emulations of it, every f**king day, and more each day.

also, i personally am not talking about political stances either, just in case you are, i am referring to the "way" americans live, the white picket fences, the 2 cars in the garage, and the credit card debts that will last unto our grand children... i see it.. so should you.

however, this is your chance.. lets see if you can meet your own expectations :rolleyes:

I won't post a list of countires that don't want to be like america, because in my opinion, that list would include every country. There are no countries that try and copy america. If you have increasing credit card debt, and so do people in the UK, that doesn't mean everyone in the UK thought 'wow, they have card debt in america... I want that'. If you have starbucks and mcdonalds, we don't think 'wow, how cool, we want that in our country', the companies just expand over here to make money by selling something that people in general like. They like it because it satisfies their tastes, not because they want to be like americans. Two cars in the garage? I'm sure america invented that... and even if it did, people in other countries like that because guess what? It's nice to have a big house and two cars, not because they think 'wow, I want to be like an american and have two cars and a garage'. Lastly, picket fences? I don't really think anybody is 'copying' that, and even if they were, once again, white picket fences are not an american innovation.

i knew you couldn't do it :/

OK, lets make it simple on poor Jeff, name 5 things unique to your country, things not American.

s**t Jeff, you are the one who seems hell bent on differences not i.. i didn't make a big deal about how America is only 200 and such... i couldn't give a rats ass if the UK became independent from the US totally :heee:

seriously tho, if you cannot convince me of the differences, then that must mean similarities exist.

remember this tho, this is YOUR discussion, i couldn't care less, my explaining myself, doesn't lend credence, nor retract from it either..

convince me Jeff, convince us all that the UK is more different, than the same as the US, then we can discuss whom copied whom :rolleyes:

maybe, the bottom line is, the US is hell bent on copying everyone else :biggrin: we are just so f**king good at it that it appears as if everyone else is doing it instead

[edit] let me clarify this jeff, the 5 unique things, must be within the last 200 years, cause before that, goes beyond this discussion.

Suggestion for the site there, have a [edit] BB tag similar to the quote one.

good thought, but wrong topic..

i only use the words [edit] to draw attention to it, for those whom may have only read the previous post.

and to avoid additional post counts needlessly glares stop laughing, i DO try you know :rolleyes:

Fair point, I'll add that to the relavent topic.

post some countries who are not

I won't post a list of countires that don't want to be like america, because in my opinion, that list would include every country.

i knew you couldn't do it :/

Explain to me how I failed to answer your question. You would have preffered it if I had posted a big list of every country?

name 5 things unique to your country, things not American

Oh my god, you really don't get it do you! Whether we do things that are the same as some of the things you do is completely irrelevant. You are claiming that anything we do here that has been done in america, we are only doing it to try and copy/be like you! This notion is completely rediculous!! I am not claiming that there is nothing in the UK that is the same as something in america, I am telling you that the similarities are not because us in the UK, or people in any other country, want to be like america! Is this that hard a concept to grasp? That perhaps people who aren't in america don't want to turn their country into a copy of america?

But obviously you won't accept anything I have said unless I give an answer to your pointless question. What have we done over here that wasn't just copying america in the last 200 years (as I type this I can't believe how rediculous a question this is)... well... what about everything that has been invented here?

Theres the elctric motor. Or Depth charges, lightbulbs, jet engines, penicillin, submarines, radio, vacuum cleaners, the pointless list goes on and on. But I am not so foolish that I think you use these things in america to try and be like the UK, as this is a completely rediculous idea.

I'm sure you use lightbulbs in every day life Orph. You are not doing this to try and be like somebody from the UK any more than I am trying to copy america if I were to buy two cars and put them in a garage. Can't you see how much of a rediculous idea this is?

sadly, you failed again Jeff, and as usual blamed your shortcomings upon me.

again let me stress this, I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS WHOM COPIED WHOM.

all i am saying is similarities do exist, the persons whom seem to think its important of WHO, is people like YOU.

still you cannot goad me into a debate, because the priorities just are not there, we can and do discuss things i feel important enough to debate, but this topic insert razz sound here

Jeff, again lemme say, you failed miserably once more, you my friend are much like osmosis, you filter out the pieces you want, or THINK are relevant, to a point to where the actual topic no longer resembles my post at all. and much like osmosis, the filter you have works only in one direction, you fail miserably when it comes to new concepts, or stranger ones than you are used to hearing.

do yourself a favor, re-read my word, ZONE IN on the parts where i say, ITS NOT IMPORTANT, and you will have a much better day.

face it Jeff, you and i play on different fields, and yours will never look like mine nor mine yours.. your priority system just is way to weird for me.. and your methods of debating them are worse still.

till you can talk, or think like i do, you will lose every debate we have, at least so far as winning me over to your side. get a handle on things Jeff, and get back to me when something really important peaks your interests, cause this and other mundane issues like it... are a waste of MY TIME, and yours.

my advice, stop filtering my posts till they say what you want to hear, i wrote them all at once, i FULLY expect you to read them AND comprehend them that way as well :/

have a nice day Jeff.. I'm done with this subject, it already exceeded my daily allowance of absurdity :/

I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS WHOM COPIED WHOM.

Right. So that's why you were saying everybody tries to emulate america? You say you don't care 'who copies who', whatever. I am saying nobody is copying anybody. People just do what they want, and if it happens to have already been done somewhere else, it doesn't mean anything at all.

Now, I picked the big part in all capitals at the start of your post - I hope I'm not drawing on the parts you didn't see as important.

fine then, no one copied no one, its all co-evolution at its best :biggrin:

jeez you guys.. get a life will'ya

lets talk about something important for a change, like, what brand diapers do you recommend..

Huggies.
