I hate the Editor!

[Walrus]

And I had my hopes up that there would be some venom against me here... Oh well, you don't always get what you expect.

Kelsh, you are a liar. LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR.

At least the British have the NHS Plus the Scottish invented and/or discovered adhesive stamps, the Bank of England, bicycle pedals, Bovril, the breech-loading rifle, the cell nucleus, chloroform, the cloud chamber, colour photography, cornflour, the cure for malaria, the decimal point, electro-magnetism, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, finger-printing, the fountain pen, hypnosis, hypodermic syringes, insulin, the kaleidoscope, the Kelvin scale, the lawnmower, lime cordial, logarithms, lorries, marmalade, motor insurance, the MRI scanner, the paddle steamer, paraffin, piano pedals, pneumatic tyres, the postmark, radar, the raincoat, the reflecting telescope, savings banks, the screw propeller, the speedometer, the steam hammer, tarmac, the teleprinter, tubular steel, the typhoid vaccine, the ultrasound scanner, the United States Navy, Universal Standard Time, vacuum flasks, wave-powered electricity generators and wire rope.

Ed.

And let's compare that to all the things the US has invented. You lose.

still the bacon cob beats everything you have created ahahahahahahaha

[Walrus]

I have never heard of the bacon cob but it sounds disgusting.

I'm not pro-American in any way, shape or form, but it's worth taking that stance just so I can ruffle Ed's feathers.

[The Editor]

That's what Scotland, one small part of Britain, invented and discovered. And we made your navy, bitch.

Ed.

[The Editor]

And your country.

Ed.

[Walrus]

And we wrested the colonies away from the mother country with a substantially smaller population. Kinda sad to think that England couldn't beat some poorly armed peasants with their ultra-savvy army, equipped to the brim with the latest weapons.

[Dreaming Samurai]

And your country.

Ed.

actually its was the spanish who actually took over and civilized america (if im wrong im going to feel like a brickhead)

[The Editor]

That was South America, retard.

We wrestled our own colonies away from ourselves. America was full of British people (and Germans, but you don't like to talk about them) when it broke away from the English crown.

Ed.

[Walrus]

DS, you're wrong. The Spanish colonized Mexico and part of the Southwestern states.

[oldKelsh]

Editor, your an idiot.

[Dreaming Samurai]

DS, you're wrong. The Spanish colonized Mexico and part of the Southwestern states.

awwww thanks for making me feel like an even BIGGER retard

[The Editor]

And how is that, exactly?

And DS, I'm sorry for calling you a retard. I thought Walrus had said that the Spanish colonised North America.

Ed.

[Dreaming Samurai]

DS, you're wrong. The Spanish colonized Mexico and part of the Southwestern states.

oh and i thought that the spanish civilized all of it and eventually the brits took over from the spanish but that just goes to show how much attention i payed in history lessons

[Walrus]

Ahahaha, I'm horribly offended by the insult to my IQ.

[oldKelsh]

Walrus is pretty smart.

[kg]

walrus knows EVERYTHING

srsly

Well, you're partially correct. The Spanish did a lot of exploring in the 1500s -- in fact, although Christopher Colombus wasn't Spanish (he was Italian) he was sponsored by the king and queen of Spain at the time of his discovery of the Americas. Shortly afterwards, a lot of Spanish explorers began marking out the territory, though I don't believe they ever went above the southern US. The German, French, Dutch and English did that instead.

[Walrus]

walrus knows EVERYTHING

srsly

I'm quite flattered.

[The Editor]

Face facts, people: Britain made America. And then the Scottish gave it a navy. Go us!

Ed.

[Dreaming Samurai]

Walrus is pretty smart.

[kg]

I'm quite flattered.

well you DO know everything. i mean come on

you must have an incredibly good ability to retain facts

[oldKelsh]

My only A I've ever gotten was in sex education.

[The Editor]

And we had the Industrial Revolution... Iron ships that were now statistically likely to survive crossing the Atlantic, anyone?

Ed.

[Walrus]

I have an above average rote memory, but when it comes to things like faces and other interpersonal things, I fail miserably. I can't recall my own family members' faces unless I think of a specific picture, even if I saw them just a few minutes ago.
