The recurring problem we have suffered and are still suffering from is a lack of Vision from our elites who are happy enough to (try to) preserve the Status-Quo at the risk of missing a step and falling behind.

Comes from the way our Elites are selected, grown, formatted and reproduced.




As for the relashionship between France and the US, the funny thing is that we are culturally far more alike than we'd both like to admit, the only real difference being our stance on religion and economic matters ; and some statistics say that of all the people to whom the question has been asked, the French people is the one with the most positive opinion of the US, even more so than the UK (aka. "Washington's Good Little Bitch").

[Frost]

A lot of people make French jokes (including me) but I don't go as far as being racist about it. France, England, and Germany are my three favorite countries aside from the US. As far as I know, France is the Eu's military powerhouse and has been for centuries. Napoleon, nuff said.
EDIT: The other thing that comes to mind is the american war for independence in which we got a lot of help from the French. We have no room whatsoever to go bashing them.

Americans don't care about history, likely since we have almost none if it. The oldest stuff we have here are Indian (native American) graveyards, which we build strip malls on top of.
Napoleon is remembered mostly for being a short guy who lost :P

Napoleon was actually a bit above average height

[Ironmonger]

America is about moving forward but it does that a little too well it seems. There's stuff in the past we need to hold onto. Also contrary to popular belief, Napoleon was actually 5'7" (a few inches shorter than me) and thus taller than average at the time. The fact that Napoleon conquered Europe then got laughed at cause he lost the actual war grates my nerves a bit because he got shit done, but dropped the ball last minute (not sure why, gotta do my research). Adding France to the alliance at the time was more so they didn't up an conquer Europe again.

In short, my face when. EDIT: Motherfuckers ninjaed me.

[Harmony Ltd.]

The fact we have also almost always been allied since the US's infancy and stood up together in time of needs, except when one of us went into some imperialistic adventure like Iraq or the Suez Crisis, is worth being noted in my opinion.

I think the only time we've been in direct conflict must be more than two hundred years old and was only some border / naval skirmishes.

[Ironmonger]

The political equivalent of an argument.

The funniest / saddest thing with america is your fixation on foreigners and immigration, when the only people who can legitimaly say they are native from the US are rotting in reserves and have been totally assimilated in your own culture.

[Ironmonger]

That's the truth. America was founded by immigrants for immigrants. There's a lot of Germans and their descendants around here, hell if what my grandfather said about my lineage is right then my family on my mom's side is descended from Johann S. Bach

EDIT: Forgot where I was going with this.

[CamoBadger]

Why do people say the French surrender a lot?

They didn't USED to surrender, but notice the lack of victories in almost 100 years

What? Some of those reservations still keep their old culture strong and true, in fact non-natives aren't allowed in them most of the time. They even have their own laws separate from federal and state laws where they're at.

And to be 100% accurate, they weren't actually native either. They migrated down from Canada

I...don't know what to think of that. I kinda like it, but the collar puts me off a bit.

[Harmony Ltd.]

IIRC, by 1914 a fourth to a third of americans were partially or totally descended from a German lineage.

Camo : that's because we've tried not to fight them. And, well, to be fair you've not been much more succesful than we've been in Indochina.

[Ironmonger]

I like the collar except for one thing: the spikes. That's a fucking safety hazard!
Needs blunted spikes or studs instead.

that's because a lot of our families came over around WWI. I say 'our' because that's when both sides of my family came over.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Even before WWI germans were one of the most important immigrant community in the US. From what I'm told this caused a number of problem for your country when WWI started.

[Ironmonger]

*snickering* There goes my attention span.

That song is fucking cool, and the bassline is epic :

[CamoBadger]

That is pretty cool. Not really the kind of music I generally enjoy, but I like the bass line.

We interrupt this for cello metal.

Ah, the image that birthed the "Avatar Change" thread, and one of my most favorite band ever.

What could be better ?

[RoboRed]

we interrupt this for metal luna:

Goth Luna is better.

frost's worst nightmare:

[Valikdu]

-There's now an opposite fic to My Roommate Is A Vampire: My Roommate Is A Lycan (duh).
-There's now a continuation of Rainbow Factory.

Dis gonna be gud.

[RoboRed]

Yeah, I just noticed those.

Haven't read either, though.

[Valikdu]

I have 952 notifications on fimfiction.

There's so many authors that I'm subscribed to that I can't friggin keep up.

[CamoBadger]

Jesus, I may need to read My Roommate is a Lycan. Only been out one day and already has 1060 favs...must be freakin' awesome.

[Valikdu]

My Roommate Is A Vampire was awesome, and the same writer is doing the new fic. So it's probably awesome.

[Frost]

frost's worst nightmare:

Welcome to 'Murica.


It's not that I fear bears, I just fucking hate them.

[Kippershy]

They migrated down from Canada

Back in a time when national borders meant nothing and the closest thing to it was the sphere of influence of your tribe.

[CamoBadger]

Eeyup. And 'war' meant yelling at another tribe to let them know they were in your territory and you knew it.

It's very lonely on the moon.
